Commit Message

Helge Deller July 28, 2023, 7:23 p.m. UTC
Commit 7f4f0d9ea870 ("linux-user/arm: Implement __kernel_cmpxchg with host
atomics") switched to use qatomic_cmpxchg() to swap a word with the memory
content, but missed to endianess-swap the oldval and newval values when
emulating an armeb CPU, which expects words to be stored in big endian in
the guest memory.

The bug can be verified with qemu >= v7.0 on any little-endian host, when
starting the armeb binary of the upx program, which just hangs without
this patch.

v3:
- use tswap64() in arm_kernel_cmpxchg64_helper() [review from Richard]
- mention that bug exists since qemu v7.0 [info from Markus]
v2:
- add tswap32() in arm_kernel_cmpxchg64_helper() [bisected by John]

Oh btw, it's not about arm vs armeb, but guest vs host.
This also fixes armel on big-endian hosts.

Anyway, I adjusted the comment and queued.

Even better: One patch fixes multiple issues :-)

Thank you!
