I just checked it out with QEMU 5.2.0 and it seems that the bug has been
fixed.

Title:
QEMU 3.1 makes libxslt to crash on ppc64
Status in QEMU:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Host: clean Ubuntu Disco with QEMU 3.1
Guest: Alpine Linux edge with xmlto
Steps to set up guest:
curl -O
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/releases/ppc64le/netboot/vmlinuz-vanilla
curl -O
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/releases/ppc64le/netboot/initramfs-vanilla
qemu-system-ppc64 -m 1G -kernel vmlinuz-vanilla -initrd initramfs-vanilla
-append "console=hvc0 ip=dhcp
alpine_repo=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/
modloop=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/releases/ppc64le/netboot/modloop-vanilla";
-device virtio-rng-pci -nographic
This brings up an VM with an in-memory Alpine Linux.
Steps to reproduce:
Login as root and execute the following commands.
apk add xmlto
ntpd -nqp time.google.com // For TLS OCSP
wget https://ddosolitary.org/manpage-base.xsl
wget https://ddosolitary.org/shadowsocks-libev.xml
xmlto -m manpage-base.xsl man shadowsocks-libev.xml
The downloaded files are from this project:
https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev The former is directly taken
from the "doc" directory and the latter is an intermediate build output
generated by asciidoc from doc/shadowsocks-libev.asciidoc
Expected behavior: The command silently succeeds producing
shadowsocks-libev.8
Actual behavior:
runtime error: file
file:///usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.1/manpages/tbl.xsl line 450

xsltApplySequenceConstructor: A potential infinite template recursion was
detected.
You can adjust xsltMaxDepth (--maxdepth) in order to raise the maximum number
of nested template calls and variables/params (currently set to 3000).

error: file /root/shadowsocks-libev.xml
xsltRunStylesheet : run failed
Note:
I tried increasing --maxdepth as suggested in the error output but that will
result in a segfault.
This error doesn't occur with an older QEMU (I tested QEMU 2.12 on Ubuntu
Cosmic) or different architectures on QEMU 3.1 (I tested x86, x86_64, arm,
aarch64, s390x). Also it didn't help to use an older Alpine Linux (I tested
v3.8). So I think it is caused by a bug in QEMU rather than the distro/package.
