Description

When I tried to emulate an epoll-mode program which is on linux-c mipsel, the qiling engine came up with this:

[!] 	0x90083df4: syscall ql_syscall_epoll_create number = 0x1098(4248) not implemented
[=] 	fcntl64(fd = 0x3, cmd = 0x3, arg = 0x0) = 0x2
[=] 	fcntl64(fd = 0x3, cmd = 0x4, arg = 0x82) = 0x0
[!] 	0x90083e6c: syscall ql_syscall_epoll_ctl number = 0x1099(4249) not implemented
[=] 	rt_sigaction(signum = 0x2, act = 0x7ff3cc40, oldact = 0x9003ebc8) = 0x0
[=] 	rt_sigaction(signum = 0x12, act = 0x7ff3cc40, oldact = 0x9003ebe4) = 0x0
[=] 	clock_gettime(clock_id = 0x1, tp = 0x7ff3cc60) = 0x0
[Hit] waitpid
[=] 	my_waitpid(pid = 0xffffffff, wstatus = 0x7ff3cc88, options = 0x1) = 0x0
[=] 	clock_gettime(clock_id = 0x1, tp = 0x7ff3cc60) = 0x0
[!] 	0x90083ee8: syscall ql_syscall_epoll_wait number = 0x109a(4250) not implemented

So I properly need to implement this by myself if I want to make through this

Research direction

Start by locating Qiling's Linux/MIPS syscall handlers for epoll_create, epoll_ctl, and epoll_wait, then trace how the reported emulation reaches them. Re-run the Linux C MIPSEL program from the issue; done means these calls are handled without the shown “not implemented” messages.
