Hi,

yes, the first userspace process failes here:

void userspace(struct uml_pt_regs *regs)
{
        int err, status, op, pid = userspace_pid[0];
        /* To prevent races if using_sysemu changes under us.*/
        int local_using_sysemu;
        siginfo_t si;

        /* Handle any immediate reschedules or signals */
        interrupt_end();

        while (1) {

                /*
                 * This can legitimately fail if the process loads a
                 * bogus value into a segment register.  It will
                 * segfault and PTRACE_GETREGS will read that value
                 * out of the process.  However, PTRACE_SETREGS will
                 * fail.  In this case, there is nothing to do but
                 * just kill the process.
                 */
                if (ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGS, pid, 0, regs->gp))
                        fatal_sigsegv();

                if (put_fp_registers(pid, regs->fp))
->                        fatal_sigsegv();

the put_fp_registers fails with errno 4 if I recall correctly.

I didn't investigate yet further, why the the xstate ptrace call fails.

kind regards
thomas
