<div class="paragraph">
<p>We do not know of any way to set the emulator exit status in QEMU arm full system.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For other arch / emulator combinations, we know how to do it:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>aarch64: aarch64 semihosting supports exit status</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>gem5: <a href="m5-fail.html">m5 fail</a> works on all archs</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>user mode: QEMU forwards exit status, for gem5 we do some log parsing as described at: <a href="gem5-syscall-emulation-exit-status.html">Section 11.7.2, &#8220;gem5 syscall emulation exit status&#8221;</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Since we can&#8217;t do it for QEMU arm, the only reliable solution is to just parse the guest serial output for a magic failure string to check if tests failed.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Our run scripts parse the serial output looking for a line line containing only exactly the magic regular expression:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>lkmc_exit_status_(\d+)</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>and then exit with the given regular expression, e.g.:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>./run --arch aarch64 baremetal/return2.c
echo $?</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>should output:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>2</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This magic output string is notably generated by:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><a href="https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/blob/master/rootfs_overlay/lkmc/test_fail.sh">rootfs_overlay/lkmc/test_fail.sh</a>, which is used by <a href="test-userland-in-full-system.html">Test userland in full system</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>the <code>exit()</code> baremetal function when <code>status != 1</code>.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Unfortunately the only way we found to set this up was with <code>on_exit</code>: <a href="https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/issues/59" class="bare">https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/issues/59</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Trying to patch <code>_exit</code> directly fails since at that point some de-initialization has already happened which prevents the print.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>So setup this <code>on_exit</code> automatically from all our <a href="baremetal-bootloaders.html">Baremetal bootloaders</a>, so it just works automatically for the examples that use the bootloaders: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44097610/pass-parameter-to-atexit/49659697#49659697" class="bare">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44097610/pass-parameter-to-atexit/49659697#49659697</a></p>
