There is a firefox bug(or chrome ?), which make the current wasm module creation not working on firefox.
Here is patch that hope to fix that.

Sadly I couldn't make the build toolchain work on my machine, so I couldn't test my changes.

@Kuinox Thanks, can you add the DCO signed-off-by line?

Done, could you test to see if the change worked on your end ? Like I said on the PR, I have an error while running the build toolchain on my machine (maybe because I'm on windows but it shouldn't cause a problem with docker...)

instantiate_wasm is a function that instantiates a TB's Wasm binary,
importing the functions as specified by its arguments. Following the header
definition in wasm32/tcg-target.c.inc, QEMU's memory is imorted into the
module as "env.buffer", and helper functions are imported as
"helper.<id>". The instantiated Wasm module is imported to QEMU using
Emscripten's "addFunction" feature[1] which returns a function pointer. This
allows QEMU to call this module directly from C code via that pointer.

Note that since FireFox 138, WebAssembly.Module no longer accepts a
SharedArrayBuffer as input [2] as reported by Nicolas Vandeginste in my
downstream fork[3]. This commit ensures that WebAssembly.Module() is passed
a Uint8Array created from the binary data on a SharedArrayBuffer.

@Kuinox Thanks for reporting this issue along with the helpful link. I'm currently working on another branch for refactoring & improvement development of QEMU Wasm aiming upstreaming (#26). While I ended up addressing the problem with a different approach after some exploration, by directly creating a Uint8Array from the SharedArrayBuffer subarray without an extra slice() (please see e242a7a), which worked on Firefox 138 in my testing. Still, I appreciate you bringing this up.

No problem, still need to track how they will resolve https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1965217 so we can avoid an expensive multiple MB array copy in the future.

instantiate_wasm is a function that instantiates a TB's Wasm binary,
importing the functions as specified by its arguments. Following the header
definition in wasm/tcg-target.c.inc, QEMU's memory is imported into the
module as "env.memory", and helper functions are imported as "helper.<idx>".

The instantiated Wasm module is imported to QEMU using Emscripten's
"addFunction" feature[1] which returns a function pointer. This allows QEMU
to call this module directly from C code via that pointer.

Since the subarray() method doesn't accept a BigInt value which is used for
the 64bit pointer value, it is converted to a Number (i53) using
bigintToI53Checked method of Emscripten. Although this conversion (64bit to
53bit) drops higher bits, the maximum memory size of the engine
implementations is currently limited to 16GiB[2] so we can assume that the
pointers are within the Number's range.

Note that since FireFox 138, WebAssembly.Module no longer accepts a
SharedArrayBuffer as input [3] as reported by Nicolas Vandeginste in my
fork[4]. This commit ensures that WebAssembly.Module() is passed a
Uint8Array created from the binary data on a SharedArrayBuffer.
