On a later test run I got this different one; openbsd again: TEST: tests/test-hmp... (pid=45236) /riscv32/hmp/spike_v1.9.1: ** ERROR:/home/qemu/qom/object.c:488:object_new_with_type: assertion failed: (type != NULL) Broken pipe FAIL My current best theory is that OpenBSD libc's memory allocator happens to be more sensitive to a memory corruption bug in the risc code, resulting in intermittent failures if the allocations happen to come out the wrong way. You do have at least one invalid-write off the end of a block according to valgrind: ==17441== Invalid write of size 1 ==17441== at 0x26517F: riscv_isa_string (cpu.c:399) ==17441== by 0x25C14D: create_fdt (spike.c:125) ==17441== by 0x25C14D: spike_v1_10_0_board_init (spike.c:199) ==17441== by 0x2CCE0A: machine_run_board_init (machine.c:807) ==17441== by 0x1BFF28: main (vl.c:4597) ==17441== Address 0x3055c425 is 0 bytes after a block of size 5 alloc'd ==17441== at 0x4C2FB55: calloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==17441== by 0x70C8770: g_malloc0 (in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.4800.2) ==17441== by 0x26511E: riscv_isa_string (cpu.c:395) ==17441== by 0x25C14D: create_fdt (spike.c:125) ==17441== by 0x25C14D: spike_v1_10_0_board_init (spike.c:199) ==17441== by 0x2CCE0A: machine_run_board_init (machine.c:807) ==17441== by 0x1BFF28: main (vl.c:4597) If you can prioritise a patch that fixes the bug in riscv_isa_string() I'll apply that and hopefully these intermittent failures will go away. thanks -- PMM
