[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1716767] Re: file(1) fails with "Invalid argument" on qemu-sh4-user

[James Clarke]

I just ran it myself inside and outside the sh4 chroot. The logging
output is the same, with the exception of the final line. Something is
happening once it's decided it's elf; looking at file_tryelf, my guess
is the fstat call is failing[0].

Title:
  file(1) fails with "Invalid argument" on qemu-sh4-user

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  We recently discovered that file(1) fails on qemu-sh4-user when
  running on an ELF file:

  (sid_sh4)address@hidden:/# file /bin/bash
  /bin/bash: ERROR: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Renesas SH, version 1 (SYSV) 
error reading (Invalid argument)
  (sid_sh4)address@hidden:/#

  Running with "-d" yields more output:

  (sid_sh4)address@hidden:/# file -d /bin/bash 2>&1 | tail
  322: >> 7 byte&,=97,"(ARM)"]
  0 == 97 = 0
  mget(type=1, flag=0, offset=7, o=0, nbytes=863324, il=0, nc=1)
  mget/96 @7: 
\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\002\000*\000\001\000\000\000\250\317A\0004\000\000\000L(\r\000\027\000\000\0004\000
 \000\n\000(address@hidden@address@hidden@address@hidden@\000\023\000\000

  323: >> 7 byte&,=-1,"(embedded)"]
  0 == 18446744073709551615 = 0
  [try softmagic 1]
  [try elf -1]
  /bin/bash: ERROR: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Renesas SH, version 1 (SYSV) 
error reading (Invalid argument)
  (sid_sh4)address@hidden:/#

  It seems that the comparison above has a bogus (overflown?) value.

  On actual hardware, it works:

  address@hidden:~> file /bin/bash
  /bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Renesas SH, version 1 (SYSV), 
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, 
BuildID[sha1]=4dd0e4281755827d8bb6686fd481f8c80ea73e9a, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, 
stripped
  address@hidden:~>

  I have uploaded a chroot with Debian unstable which allows to
  reproduce the issue:
