ARM cpu emulation regression on QEMU 4.2.0
[*] Summary
Latest QEMU has an ARM CPU emulation regression.
Regression is reproducible by building any C# project with .NET Core SDK 3.1.300 on Debian 10 armhf.
Affected releases: QEMU 4.2.0, 5.0.0
Not affected releases: QEMU 4.1.0, QEMU 4.1.1
[*] Detail
qemu-system-arm fails to run .NET Core SDK 3.1 on Debian 10 armhf.
I occasionally test my C# projects on the virtual armhf/arm64 system emulated by QEMU.
MSBuild, a build engine of the .NET Core SDK, crashes on QEMU 4.2.0 or later.
The crash only happens when MSBuild tries to do any JIT compiling (dotnet build / dotnet test).
I attached MSBuild crash logs. MSBuild always crashes with SEHException, which means it tried to call C binary from .NET binary.
The issue affects QEMU 4.2.0 and 5.0.0.
QEMU 4.1.0, 4.1.1, and real Raspberry Pi 2 machine is not affected by this issue, and .NET Core SDK works completely fine.
Thus, I think an ARM CPU regression happened between QEMU 4.1.1 ~ QEMU 4.2.0.
