I am running a software emulated OpenBSD/amd64 on an OpenBSD/amd64 host with qemu-system-x86_64 version 1.7.0.
A perl process within the emulated machine gets a segmentation fault at this instruction: 0x00000cbf3e13f53c <S_sv_2iuv_common+108>: ucomisd 0x28(%rax),%xmm0 The accessed address at 0x28(%rax) is 0xcbf38d13ff8, that is 8 bytes before a page boundary. The next page is not mapped. The instruction ucomisd should access a 64 bit memory location, so the perl programm and the address layout are legal. qemu generates a wrong page fault as it assumes a 16 byte operation. This patch fixes the problem, it is against qemu 1.7.0.
