We've had similar cases int he past where new releases glibc or compiler had
new instructions breaking the TCG mode.
So I spawned a focal and a bionic image - and then remodeled them to run in
emulation mode.
And indeed Bionic works without any crashes, so it must be something in the
guest that isn't in Bionic yet. Focal OTOH crashes very similarly - so the
userspace feature/instructions was added in 20.04. (BTW 20.04 feels more
broken, e.g. it does not at all shut down anymore - but the crashes are just
the same).
The focal crashes affect the same programs (rm, find) and look similar:

Title:
systemd autopkgtest broken on ppc64el with qemu 6.0
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm not sure yet if this is flaky or a real issue, but I'm filing it
to avoid multiple people analyzing the same.
The Qemu 6.0 upload
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/1:6.0+dfsg-1~ubuntu2 triggers a test
failure like
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-impish/impish/ppc64el/s/systemd/20210708_223311_e3bbb@/log.gz
I have tested the new qemu on ppc64 and it worked fine for device emulation
and migration cases.
But this is suspicious.
Of the last tests exactly and only those with the new qemu failed.

upstream-2 (F 12% f 0% S 0% B 0% => P 87%/)
F..FFFF.................................
For an insight in flakyness/reproducibility I've retriggered the missing qemu
and the non-qemu cases a few times. If those reproduce all-bad vs all-good
again this would further indicate a real issue.
Unfortunately the ppc maas seems down right now and canonistack also
isn't too nice this week - overall that inhibits the testing a bit :-/
