Alright, I'm trying to classify this bug report as either user-mode or system-mode related. Let me think through the details.
The problem occurs when running a program using qemu-hexagon. The program is compiled from a simple assembly file that just has a global _start symbol with a .word 0. When run in QEMU, it hits an unreachable assertion in decode_insns().
So, what does this mean? Decode_insns() is part of the instruction decoder for the Hexagon CPU. It seems like the emulator encountered an invalid or unexpected instruction that it couldn't handle, leading to an assertion failure.
Now, considering user-mode versus system-mode: User-mode issues typically relate to how the CPU emulates instructions, handles exceptions, and deals with the application's execution. Since this is about decoding a specific instruction and hitting an unreachable code path in the emulator, it seems like a problem within the CPU's instruction decoding logic when running user space applications.
On the other hand, system-mode issues would involve things like device emulation, interrupts, MMU handling, or interactions with virtualized hardware. There's no mention of peripherals, devices, or OS-level interactions here; it's purely about the instruction decoding during program execution.
Therefore, this bug is likely related to user-mode as it pertains to how the CPU handles instructions in a user application context.
