src/test/ui/numbers-arithmetic/i128.rs causes pagefault in UEFI target #99750

Hello everyone, I have been working on implementing Rust std for the UEFI target as a part of GSoC 2022. It is now finally possible to run Rust tests in UEFI using qemu and remote-test-server. While many tests fail for one reason or another, a few tests (mainly numeric ones) seem to cause different types of CPU exceptions rather than panics. So I thought it might be a good idea to open bugs for these issues.

The first one in this list is src/test/ui/numbers-arithmetic/i128.rs. After some testing, I have come up with a simpler example that produces a similar exception in UEFI:

fn main() {
    use std::hint::black_box as b;

    let z: i128 = b(1);
    assert!((-z as f64) < 0.0);
} 

The exception output is:

From my testing, the exception only occurs when a few conditions are met.

  1. The binary is compiled in Debug mode. No error in Release mode.
  2. i128 is in a black_box. Does not occur if black_box is not present.
  3. It has to be i128. i64 or something else work fine.
  4. The cast has to be done on -z. Doing the same with +z is fine.

Some discussions about this issue have already taken place in the zulipchat and edk2 mailing list.

I have also attached an archive containing the Assembly, executable and .pdb file for the above example. Additionally, if anyone wants to try running the actual example/test themselves, you can use my blog post to try it out.
