[Bug 1791763] Re: broken signal handling in nios2 user-mode emulation

[Peter Maydell]

A quick eyeball of the patch and the current QEMU tree indicates that at
least some of the bugs it's trying to fix still exist (notably a lot of
use of "long" in various target_* structures, which should not be using
types with a width dependent on the host system.)

Title:
  broken signal handling in nios2 user-mode emulation

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug is against the 3.0 release.

  It appears that the signal handling parts of the nios2 user-mode
  emulation have never really been completed or tested.  Some examples
  of failing tests from the GCC testsuite are gcc.dg/pr78185.c and
  gcc.dg/cleanup-10.c.

  Some problems I've identified and tried to fix with the attached patch
  are:

  - Code copied from the Linux kernel wasn't adjusted to differentiate
  between host and target data types and address spaces.

  - The sigaltstack() system call returns EINVAL because fields are
  listed in the wrong order in struct target_sigaltstack.

  With this patch, the system calls to set up the signal handler are
  returning successfully, but the handler isn't being invoked, so
  something is still wrong.  I think I need another pair of eyes to look
  over this code.
