Title:
performance regression in qemu-user + proot
Status in QEMU:
New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
To reproduce:
1. Install qemu-user-static and proot
2. Enter some arm chroot using them:
proot -0 -q qemu-arm-static -w / -r chroot/ /bin/bash
3. Run a command which normally takes a short but measurable amount of
time:
cd /usr/share/doc && time grep -R hello
Result:
This is over 100 times slower on 18.04 than it was on 16.04. I am not
sure if proot or qemu is causing the problem, but proot version has
not changed. Also note that on 16.04 I am using the cloud repo version
of qemu, which is newer than 16.04 stock, but still older than 18.04.
Although system 2 is lower spec than system 1, it should not be this
much slower. No other software seems to be affected.
If required I can supply a chroot tarball. It is essentially just a
Debian bootstrap though.
