[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] linux-user: Fix large seeks by 32 bit guest on 64 bit host

[Peter Maydell]

When emulating a 32 bit Linux user-mode program on a 64 bit target
we implement the llseek syscall in terms of lseek. Correct a bug
which meant we were silently casting the result of host lseek()
to a 32 bit integer as it passed through get_errno() and thus
throwing away the top half.

We also don't try to store the result back to userspace unless
the seek succeeded; this matches the kernel behaviour.

Thanks to Eoghan Sherry for identifying the problem and suggesting
a solution.
