QEMU user space emulation has the following notable features:
-**System call translation:**
- QEMU includes a generic system call translator. This means that the
- parameters of the system calls can be converted to fix endianness and
- 32/64-bit mismatches between hosts and targets. IOCTLs can be
- converted too.
-
-**POSIX signal handling:**
- QEMU can redirect to the running program all signals coming from the
- host (such as ``SIGALRM``), as well as synthesize signals from
- virtual CPU exceptions (for example ``SIGFPE`` when the program
- executes a division by zero).
-
- QEMU relies on the host kernel to emulate most signal system calls,
- for example to emulate the signal mask. On Linux, QEMU supports both
- normal and real-time signals.
-
-**Threading:**
- On Linux, QEMU can emulate the ``clone`` syscall and create a real
- host thread (with a separate virtual CPU) for each emulated thread.
- Note that not all targets currently emulate atomic operations
- correctly. x86 and Arm use a global lock in order to preserve their
- semantics.

QEMU was conceived so that ultimately it can emulate itself. Although it
is not very useful, it is an important test to show the power of the
