Okay, so I'm trying to figure out whether this bug report is about user-mode or system-mode issues in QEMU. The user is compiling some software using cmake within a chroot environment on Ubuntu 11.10. They're using qemu-arm-static with CMake and are encountering hangs at various points during execution.
First, I need to understand the context. The user is cross-compiling for an ARM target because they have --target-list=arm-linux-user in their CMake configuration. They're compiling PCL and OpenCV-2.3.1. The issue occurs when cmake freezes while searching for libraries, such as eigen3.
The system in use is a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 with kernel 3.0.0-16-generic on an Intel i5 processor. They're reporting this as a bug in QEMU.
Now, I need to determine if this falls under user-mode or system-mode. User-mode issues typically involve application-level problems, while system-mode relates to kernel-level stuff like device drivers, hardware interactions, etc.
Qemu-arm-static is a static binary that runs user-space applications for ARM on an x86 host without needing a full system emulation. So it's used in cross-compiling environments to run binaries as if they were on the target ARM system.
Cmake freezing suggests there might be issues with how QEMU is handling certain operations, like library lookups or process management. Since this happens during cmake execution, which is part of the build process (userland), it seems related to user-mode emulation.
Possible causes could include issues in how QEMU handles dynamic libraries, process forking, or signal handling when running cmake within the chroot environment. Alternatively, there might be a deadlock or resource issue specific to the static qemu binary.
Since the problem occurs during library searches and not with hardware interactions, it's more likely a user-mode problem. The freezing isn't related to device drivers or kernel modules but rather how QEMU is managing processes in user space.
Therefore, this bug report is about a user-mode issue.
