[Bug 1705118] Re: qemu user mode: rt signals not implemented for sparc guests

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system.
For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.

If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU,
then please close this ticket as "Fix released".

If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still
valid, then you have two options:

1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket
for this problem in our new tracker here:

    https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues

and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto-
matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on
Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab.

2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get
one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch
the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other-
wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate
the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter
of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes
anymore).

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  qemu user mode: rt signals not implemented for sparc guests

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The documentation
  <https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Features> says that
  qemu in user mode supports POSIX signal handling.

  Catching SIGSEGV according to POSIX, however, does not work on
    ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, sparc64.
  It does work, however, on
    aarch64, alpha, arm, hppa, m68k, mips, mips64, sh4.

  How to reproduce:
  The attached program runs fine (exits with code 0) on
    - real hardware Linux/PowerPC64 (in 32-bit and 64-bit mode),
    - real hardware Linux/PowerPC64LE,
    - qemu-system-s390x emulated Linux/s390x,
    - real hardware Linux/SPARC64.
  $ gcc -O -Wall testsigsegv.c; ./a.out; echo $?
  0

  For ppc:
  $ powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O -Wall -static testsigsegv.c -o testsigsegv-ppc
  $ ~/inst-qemu/2.9.0/bin/qemu-ppc testsigsegv-ppc
  $ echo $?
  3

  For ppc64:
  $ powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O -Wall -static testsigsegv.c -o 
testsigsegv-ppc64
  $ ~/inst-qemu/2.9.0/bin/qemu-ppc64 testsigsegv-ppc64
  $ echo $?
  3

  For ppc64le:
  $ powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O -Wall -static testsigsegv.c -o 
testsigsegv-ppc64le
  $ ~/inst-qemu/2.9.0/bin/qemu-ppc64le testsigsegv-ppc64le
  $ echo $?
  3

  For s390x:
  $ s390x-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O -Wall -static testsigsegv.c -o testsigsegv-s390x
  $ ~/inst-qemu/2.9.0/bin/qemu-s390x testsigsegv-s390x
  $ echo $?
  3
  $ s390x-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O -Wall -static testsigsegv.c 
-DAVOID_LINUX_S390X_COMPAT -o testsigsegv-s390x-a
  $ ~/inst-qemu/2.9.0/bin/qemu-s390x testsigsegv-s390x-a
  $ echo $?
  0
  So, the test fails here because the Linux/s390x kernel omits the least
  significant 12 bits of the fault address in the 'si_addr' field. But
  qemu-s390x is not compatible with the Linux/s390x behaviour: it puts
  the complete fault address in the 'si_addr' field.

  For sparc64:
  $ sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O -Wall -static testsigsegv.c -o 
testsigsegv-sparc64
  $ ~/inst-qemu/2.9.0/bin/qemu-sparc64 testsigsegv-sparc64
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
