[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1835839] [NEW] qemu-user: $0 incorrectly always reports absolute path

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1835839] [NEW] qemu-user: $0 incorrectly always reports absolute path

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Public bug reported:

We just ran into an issue with the Perl package on Debian/m68k when
being built with qemu-user [1].

The problem can be boiled down to qemu-user always reporting absolute
paths for the shell variable $0 no matter on how the command was
invoked.

A simple reproducer is this:

On normal system (no emulation):

root@nofan:~> sh -c 'echo $0'
sh
root@nofan:~>

On qemu-user:

(sid-m68k-sbuild)root@nofan:/# sh -c 'echo $0'
/bin/sh
(sid-m68k-sbuild)root@nofan:/#

Thanks! I just tried the patch and ran the setup script with:

./scripts/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh --debian --qemu-path=/usr/bin --qemu-
suffix=-static --preserve-arg0 yes

and:

root@nofan:~/qemu> systemctl restart binfmt-support.service 
root@nofan:~/qemu>

But still don't get the correct path:

(sid-m68k-sbuild)root@nofan:/# sh -c 'echo $0'
/bin/sh
(sid-m68k-sbuild)root@nofan:/#

Do I need to do anything else?

[Peter Maydell]

Is the proposed patch backwards compatible (ie "old QEMU binary works
with newer binfmt-misc registration" and "new QEMU binary works with
older binfmt-misc registration") ? Because binfmt-misc stuff is whole-
system but QEMU binaries are per-chroot, this kind of thing is awkward
to change if we don't have back-compat (and typically the kernel
semantics for these things often don't allow back-compat or any kind of
migration-path to the new better setup :-( )

if you use systemctl, the parameter of "./scripts/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh"
must be "--systemd m68k" rather than "--debian".

Well, I've tested that, and it should work...

If you don't enable the preserve-arg[0] flag, old and new QEMU will work.

If you enable the flag, only new QEMU with -0/QEMU_ARGV0 will work.

The best solution would be to force preserve-arg[0] with open-binary
flag and rely on AT_FDEXEC to detect the binfmt-misc environment, but
this breaks compatibility with existing environment and old QEMU.

Regarding the "binfmt-misc stuff is whole-system" problem, I've proposed
months ago a kernel based solution [1] to have a configuration per
namespace (chroot), but no one seems really interested (I think
maintainer is afraid by potential security issues).

I tried that and I now get:

Oh, I'm not arguing that. I'm sure the error is on my side ;). I'm just trying
to find out what I'm doing wrong.

What is the content of:

/etc/binfmt.d/qemu-m68k.conf
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-m68k

what is the result of "file sid-m68k-sbuild/usr/bin/qemu-m68k-static"?

Bonus: if you don't want to copy qemu-m68k-static into the chroot, you
can use "--persistent" with qemu-binfmt-conf.sh.

Thanks,
Laurent

I'm doing that and I don't have a copy of qemu in the chroot.

But I think I forgot to pass --persistent to the script while testing.

Title:
  qemu-user: $0 incorrectly always reports absolute path

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  We just ran into an issue with the Perl package on Debian/m68k when
  being built with qemu-user [1].

  The problem can be boiled down to qemu-user always reporting absolute
  paths for the shell variable $0 no matter on how the command was
  invoked.

  A simple reproducer is this:

  On normal system (no emulation):

  root@nofan:~> sh -c 'echo $0'
  sh
  root@nofan:~>

  On qemu-user:

  (sid-m68k-sbuild)root@nofan:/# sh -c 'echo $0'
  /bin/sh
  (sid-m68k-sbuild)root@nofan:/#

This is not consistent: you have 'P' in /etc/binfmt.d/qemu-m68k.conf but
'OCF' in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-m68k.

Check "systemctl status binfmt-support.service"

With 'P' when you change the binary you must reload the configuration
because the binary is loaded in memory once when the configuration is
updated.

Thanks,
Laurent

[Bug 1835839] Re: qemu-user: $0 incorrectly always reports absolute path

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.

If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

[Bug 1835839] Re: qemu-user: $0 incorrectly always reports absolute path

[Thomas Huth]

Laurent's patch has been included here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/6e1c0d7b951e19c53b8467e8bc4b71ee73a394ea
So I assume we can mark this as fixed now.
