I don't believe running dotnet, or dotnet generated apps, in qemu, is a supported scenario. This could easily be an issue with qemu itself. It looks like the code being run above is correct, and not illegal.

@janvorli @jkotas

[jkotas]

You are right that we do not test nor support qemu.

It looks like the code being run above is correct, and not illegal.

The ARM manual in the LDMIA section says:

Encoding T2 does not support a list containing only one register. If an LDMIA instruction with just
one register <Rt> in the list is assembled to Thumb and encoding T1 is not available, it is assembled
to the equivalent LDR{<c>}{<q>} <Rt>, [<Rn>]{, #4} instruction.

If I am reading this right, the instruction that we are emitting here has undefined behavior. We should fix this regardless.

[janvorli]

The issue with using undefined / deprecated instructions was also reported here where valgrind was complaining about the LDMIA with single register and also about sub.w sp, r8, #80 where the doc says that when the destination register of sub/add is SP, the source should also be SP.
