I can reproduce this with just:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(void)
{
  int fd = syscall(__NR_openat, 0xffffffffffffff9cul, "/dev/ttyS3", 0ul, 0ul);
  char ch = 0;
  syscall(__NR_ioctl, fd, 0x5412, &ch); // TIOCSTI
  return 0;
}


It does not even do any tty setup... does it point to a qemu bug?
