-- Michael's version of the makecontext patches has been committed to glibc-ports and should be available in glibc 2.16. Upstream qemu (and thus qemu-linaro) now have a version of the configure check which tests for __stub_makecontext, so qemu will just automatically pick up the makecontext implementation when compiled against a glibc which supports it. So I think the only remaining thing is to decide whether Linaro and/or Ubuntu want to backport this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883136 Title: qemu on ARM hosts aborts on startup because makecontext() always fails Status in QEMU: Fix Committed Status in Linaro QEMU: Fix Committed Bug description: qemu has recently grown a coroutines implementation. There are two versions, one using the makecontext/setcontext/swapcontext functions from ucontext.h, and one falling back to implementing coroutines as separate glib threads. configure chooses the former if the platform has a makecontext(). Unfortunately ARM eglibc provides a makecontext() which always fails ENOSYS, which means the configure check passes but when qemu starts it abort()s. The best fix for this is probably going to involve making the coroutine implementation runtime-selectable.
