Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] linux-user: qemu treats TLS pointer in the wrong way when spicifying cpu cotrex-a15.

[Mikhail Ilin <m.ilin@samsung.com>]

Here is a sample to prove the issue

$ echo "int main() { return 0; }" > /tmp/prog.c
$ arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -g -o /tmp/prog /tmp/prog.c
$ qemu-arm -cpu cortex-a15 -L 
/home/michail/arm/arm-linux-gnueabi/sys-root /tmp/prog
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

prog backtrace look the following way

$ qemu-arm -g 1234 -cpu cortex-a15 -L 
/home/michail/arm/arm-linux-gnueabi/sys-root /tmp/prog

$ arm-linux-gnueabi-gdb -ex 'set sysroot 
/home/michail/arm/arm-linux-gnueabi/sys-root/' -ex 'file /tmp/prog' -ex 
'target remote :1234'
(gdb) c

$1 = 0

Register r3 comes from mrc and should contain pointer to TLS. In runtime
cp15.tpidruro_ns contains a valid pointer that is assigned with
__ARM_NR_set_tls, cp.tpidruro_s is 0 and its value is returned with mrc.
