[Qemu-devel] Syscall 269

[James Pellow <james@alentdesignsolutions.com>]

Hi All,

I am trying to chroot to a gentoo flavor of arm linux on my AMD tbird-1.4GHz.  
I have set up binfmt_misc and qemu to allow me to do the chroot, and all 
seems to be working well.  Now I wanted to emerge some stuff, and I get the 
following message:

qemu: Unsupported syscall: 269.

Looking at the arm linux kernel source, I see that 269 is utimes.  Looking at 
the source code for qemu it seems that all I have to do is to add a define 
for TARGET_NR_utimes in all linux-user/*/syscall_nr.h and then add a new case 
in linux-user/syscall.c.  

So, I gave it a shot.  The patch is at the bottom of this message.  This is 
the first time I have looked at the qemu sources, so I am likely missing 
something, but the patch does seem to allow emerge to work properly under 
gentoo.  If a correct implementation requires more work, I am happy to do 
that too, just let me know.  BTW, I am not subscribed to this list to please 
CC me.

Many thanks for a wonderful app.  

Cheers,
