[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1783362] [NEW] qemu-user-aarch64: mmap returns success (NULL, 0) instead of failure (MAP_FAILED, -1) with len==0

[umarcor <1783362@bugs.launchpad.net>]

Public bug reported:

As shown in https://github.com/beehive-
lab/mambo/issues/19#issuecomment-407420602, with len==0 mmap returns
success (NULL, 0) instead of failure (MAP_FAILED, -1) in a x86_64 host
executing a ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64 binary.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

- (cross-)compile the attached source file:

$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -static -std=gnu99 -lpthread test/mmap_qemu.c -o
mmap_qemu

- Execute in a x86_64 host with qemu-user and qemu-user-binfmt:

$ ./mmap_qemu
alloc: 0
MAP_FAILED: -1
errno: 0
mmap_qemu: test/mmap_qemu.c:15: main: Assertion `alloc == MAP_FAILED' failed.
qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped
Aborted (core dumped)

- Execute in a ARM host without any additional dependecy:

$ ./mmap_qemu
alloc: -1
MAP_FAILED: -1
errno: 22

The bug is present in Fedora:
