Hi,
I'm trying to use qemu-user-static to chroot into a foreign amd64
environment from my ppc64le host.
The host has a 64k page size, while x86_64 uses 4k.
I get those errors while loading shared libraries: "ELF load command
alignment not page-aligned"
Is there any way to fix this? I cannot simply switch to 4k page size
because my btrfs filesystem won't mount anymore (it requires the
sectorsize to be equal to the page size).
Bests,
Niccolo'

Which version of qemu do you use?
Last time I tested that on my PoweMac G5 (ppc64, qemu-4.0), it worked.
Thanks,
Laurent

I'm using 4.1, but I also tried 3.1.1.
I can get some binaries to work, but lots of them won't.
Even debootstrapping a Debian system proves to be an issue:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=940183
So far I've managed to debootstrap only a "minbase" stretch.
If I chroot and try to install something like qt5-default it won't work
anymore.
Thanks,
Niccolo'

My test is to debootstrap a minbase stretch and then to run LTP inside
the chroot. It's why I didn't see the problem.
I'm going to have a look to the bugreport, but I'm not sure it could be
fixed.
Thanks,
Laurent

I vaguely recall that the answer is that we don't really
support running a linux-user guest which has a smaller page
size than the host. There are some sort-of-hacks in the code,
so some simple cases might more-or-less work, but I'm not
very surprised that you've run into something that doesn't
work.
Cc:ing Richard who probably has a more accurate answer.
thanks

You are correct that this combination will not work.
This combination is exactly why I've proposed enabling softmmu for linux-user.
With that, arbitrary mappings can be made between host and guest. But it's a
fair amount of effort, which no one has yet found time for.
