As described on the systemd issue, the syscall we're getting wrong here is getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERSEC, ...). Our linux- user/syscall.c:do_getsockopt() doesn't have any special case code for the payload on this function, so we treat it as if it were just an integer payload, which is not correct here.
Unfortunately I can't find any documentation on exactly what SO_PEERSEC does or what the payload format is, which makes it pretty hard to fix this bug :-( It's not listed in the socket(7) manpage -- https://linux.die.net/man/7/socket -- which is where I'd expect to find it, and the kernel source code is pretty confusing in this area. ** Summary changed: - QEMU forces systemd into tight loop + QEMU mishandling of SO_PEERSEC forces systemd into tight loop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1823790 Title: QEMU mishandling of SO_PEERSEC forces systemd into tight loop Status in QEMU: New Bug description: While building Debian images for embedded ARM target systems I detected that QEMU seems to force newer systemd daemons into a tight loop. My setup is the following: Host machine: Ubuntu 18.04, amd64 LXD container: Debian Buster, arm64, systemd 241 QEMU: qemu-aarch64-static, 4.0.0-rc2 (custom build) and 3.1.0 (Debian 1:3.1+dfsg-7) To easily reproduce the issue I have created the following repository: https://github.com/lueschem/edi-qemu The call where systemd gets looping is the following: 2837 getsockopt(3,1,31,274891889456,274887218756,274888927920) = -1 errno=34 (Numerical result out of range) Furthermore I also verified that the issue is not related to LXD. The same behavior can be reproduced using systemd-nspawn.
