+SIGILL on instruction "stck" under qemu-s390x in user mode
+
+qemu-s390x in user mode crashes with SIGILL (under host architecture x86_64, running Debian unstable) when executing target instruction "stck" ("STORE CLOCK", see https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26480faec85f44e2385256d5200627dee&aid=1), which is basically a kind of equivalent of Intel "rdtsc". The same instruction works fine under qemu-s390x in system mode. The bug is reproducible with both the qemu version distributed in Debian unstable and with the latest upstream master (commit 47994e16b1d66411953623e7c0bf0cdcd50bd507).
+
+This bug manifested itself as a crash of ssh-keygen program, which uses "stck" to obtain some bits of randomness during key creation. Bisection of the code led to the attached minimal example. Compile with (inside an s390x system):
+
+ $ gcc -c -o test.o test.c
+ $ gcc -c -o rdtsc.o rdtsc.S
+ $ gcc -o test test.o rdtsc.o
+
+Then run test. It will crash with SIGILL in user mode and run fine in system mode. Also, compare with the original file at https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/s390xcpuid.pl#L139 (there the instruction "stckf" is also used; it is probable that it has the same problem if it is supported altogether, but it did not test for this).
+
+Running qemu-s390x with options -d in_asm,out_asm,op,op_opt,exec,nochain,cpu gives the trace attached in log.txt.
+
+Thanks, Giovanni.
