Let me start by understanding the scenario. + +The user has a small C program that uses the `system()` function. They've cross-compiled it using Buildroot with different architectures: i386, x86_64, arm, and mips. When they run this program under QEMU for i386 and x86_64, it returns -1 without outputting "hello". However, when running on arm or mips using their respective QEMUs, it works as expected. + +Hmm, so what's different between these architectures? The issue occurs with i386 and x86_64 but not with arm or mips. Since the program uses `system()`, which is a C library function that spawns a shell to execute commands, I think this relates more to how the system calls are handled in user-mode emulation. + +In QEMU, user-mode emulation runs binaries as if they were on the host, but under a different architecture. This means it relies heavily on the dynamic translator and possibly some syscall stubs or compatibility layers. If something is wrong with `system()`, which involves forking and exec-ing another process (the shell), perhaps there's an issue in how QEMU handles these system calls for x86 targets. + +Looking at the error, when running under i386 or x86_64 QEMU, the program returns -1. That suggests that `system()` is failing, returning a non-zero exit status. In contrast, on arm and mips, it works correctly. So why would this happen? + +Maybe there's an issue with how the host's dynamic linker interacts with the guest binary when using x86 architectures. Since Buildroot uses uClibc, which might have different behaviors compared to glibc. Perhaps QEMU isn't correctly setting up the environment or handling certain syscalls for i386 and x86_64. + +Another angle is that system calls like `fork()`, `execve()`, etc., which `system()` uses, might not be properly emulated in user-mode for these architectures. If QEMU's user-mode emulation has a bug in handling these syscalls on x86 targets, it could explain why the program fails there but works elsewhere. + +Since this is about running a dynamically linked executable and interacting with system calls that involve the shell, it seems like a user-mode issue rather than something related to virtualized hardware or system-level privileges. The problem isn't about device drivers or higher-privilege operations; instead, it's about correctly emulating the execution of a binary that relies on certain libc functions. + +So, putting it all together: this is likely a user-mode emulation bug in QEMU specific to x86 architectures when handling `system()` calls. +</think> + +user \ No newline at end of file |
