Alright, I'm trying to figure out whether this QEMU error is a user-mode or system-mode issue. So, the user mentioned they're using `qemu-user-static` version 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u5 on an amd64 system. They're encountering an error when building a Docker image for ARM architecture.
Looking at their Dockerfile, it's set up to build an arm32v7 image. The error message is "qemu: Unsupported syscall: 382." I know that QEMU has different modes—user mode and system mode. User-mode emulation allows running executables of other architectures on the host without emulating hardware. System-mode, on the other hand, emulates an entire system, including hardware devices.
In this case, since they're using `qemu-arm-static`, which is part of user-mode QEMU, it's meant to run ARM binaries directly on the host without a full VM setup. The error about an unsupported syscall suggests that QEMU doesn't recognize syscall number 382 for ARM. Syscalls are system calls made by programs to the kernel.
I remember that different architectures have different syscall numbers. If Docker is trying to execute a binary that uses a syscall not supported by the user-mode QEMU emulator, this error occurs. This would fall under user-mode because it's about executing binaries and their syscalls in an emulated environment without full system emulation.
Also, looking at the bug report linked (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923479), it discusses issues with QEMU-user not supporting certain syscalls. The fact that this is about running binaries and their compatibility points towards a user-mode problem rather than system-mode, which would involve more low-level hardware emulation.
So, putting it all together: the error occurs in user-mode because it's trying to run an ARM binary on x86 using QEMU-user-static, but there's a syscall that isn't handled. Therefore, this is a user-mode issue.
