Byte-swapping issue in getresuid on qemu-user-sparc64 Description of problem: When calling getresuid() in the big-endian sparc64 guest, the uid_t values are written with their 16-bit halves reversed. For example, the UID 0x000003e8 (1000) becomes 0x03e80000. Steps to reproduce: A minimal test case looks like this: ```c #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct passwd *pw = getpwuid(geteuid()); if (pw == NULL) { perror("getpwuid failure"); return 1; } printf("getpwuid()->pw_uid=0x%08x\n", pw->pw_uid); uid_t ruid = 0, euid = 0, suid = 0; if (getresuid(&ruid, &euid, &suid) != 0) { perror("getresuid failure"); return 1; } printf("getresuid()->suid=0x%08x\n", suid); return 0; } ``` Compile and run with: ``` $ sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wall -O0 -g -o sid-sparc64/test test.c $ sudo chroot sid-sparc64 [chroot] $ qemu-sparc64-static ./test ``` Alternatively, static compilation without a chroot is also possible (despite a warning about `getpwuid()`): ``` $ sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc -static -Wall -O0 -g -o test test.c $ qemu-sparc64-static ./test ``` Expected output: ``` $ ./test getpwuid()->pw_uid=0x000003e8 getresuid()->suid=0x000003e8 ``` Actual output: ``` $ ./test getpwuid()->pw_uid=0x000003e8 getresuid()->suid=0x03e80000 ``` Additional information: I'm not sure if this is a glibc, qemu or kernel issue, but it doesn't occur outside qemu.
