When the program name is very long, qemu-user may truncate it in /proc/self/stat. However the truncation must keep the ending ") " to conform to the proc manpage which says: (2) comm %s The filename of the executable, in parentheses. This is visible whether or not the executable is swapped out.
To reproduce: $ ln -s /bin/cat <filenamewithmorethan128chars> $ qemu-x86_64 ./<filenamewithmorethan128chars> /proc/self/stat Before the patch, you get: 1134631 (<filenametruncated>0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... After the patch: 1134631 (<filenametruncat>) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... This fixes an issue with hwloc failing to parse /proc/self/stat when Ludovic Courtes was testing it in Guix over qemu-aarch64.
