I have committed a fix for this issue as https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/qemu/commit/a18d80c629989d002794f558968e1561edaf3dfd An alternative solution would be to change the cmpxchg line to perform a non-sign-extended compare, i.e. replace tcg_gen_atomic_cmpxchg_tl(t0, addr, cpu_llval, val, eva ? MIPS_HFLAG_UM : ctx->mem_idx, tcg_mo); with tcg_gen_atomic_cmpxchg_tl(t0, addr, cpu_llval, val, eva ? MIPS_HFLAG_UM : ctx->mem_idx, tcg_mo & ~MO_SIGN); I cannot send this patch to the QEMU mailing list as I am not able to setup git-send-email. Feel free to apply this commit or the alternative solution. The fix I linked is incorrect, the correct URL is https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/qemu/commit/a833317eeb0387dcfa7615a78e74f8b48990b8bc New patch: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/6ff8dec97f1a105d0da96c67ee24c75e437df162 Patch has been merged here: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=ec860426dfbebe0c
