From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <[email protected]>, Bodo Stroesser <[email protected]>, Jeff Dike <[email protected]>
Currently, the test for the SYSEMU support on the host is completely wrong, as
Bodo noticed. We should change the syscall result (inserting the host pid) and
check if it is received correctly by the guest. What we actually do, without
this patch, is to overwrite the syscall number.
This went unnoticed because we only check that the getpid() syscall from the
child does not return its pid. We don't check that it returns the correct
value.
Also, override the result portably, using the PT_SYSCALL_RET_OFFSET macro
which abstract away the host stack frame layout (took from Jeff Dike code).
