Subject: [PATCH] linux-user/microblaze: Fix little-endianness binary
Date: Mon,  6 Oct 2025 19:33:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251006173350.17455-1-philmd@linaro.org> (raw)

MicroBlaze CPU model has a "little-endian" property, pointing to
the @endi internal field. Commit c36ec3a9655 ("hw/microblaze:
Explicit CPU endianness") took care of having all MicroBlaze
boards with an explicit default endianness, so later commit
415aae543ed ("target/microblaze: Consider endianness while
translating code") could infer the endianness at runtime from
the @endi field, and not a compile time via the TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN
definition. Doing so, we forgot to make the endianness explicit
on user emulation, so there all CPUs are started with the default
"little-endian=off" value, leading to breaking support for little
endian binaries:

  $ readelf -h ./hello-world-mbel
  ELF Header:
    Magic:   7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
    Class:                             ELF32
    Data:                              2's complement, little endian

  $ qemu-microblazeel ./hello-world-mbel
  qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Fix by restoring the previous behavior of starting with the
builtin endianness of the binary:

  $ qemu-microblazeel ./hello-world-mbel
  Hello World
