[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] fix qemu-system-unicore32 crashing when calling without -kernel

[Eduardo Otubo]

Starting qemu-system-unicore32 without the -kernel parameter results in
an assert() returns false and aborts qemu. This patch replaces it with a
proper error message followed by exit(1).

How do you actually trigger this?  There's already appropriate command
line options handling in vl.c, which all targets (I tried) incorporate.
For unicore32:

$ ./unicore32-softmmu/qemu-system-unicore32 -kernel
qemu-system-unicore32: -kernel: requires an argument

I also see what I believe is proper handling with invalid kernels (or
empty options):

$ ./unicore32-softmmu/qemu-system-unicore32 -kernel ''
qemu-system-unicore32: Load kernel error: ''

Oh my, I misread your commit message.  I see this is actually triggered
*without* -kernel, and not without a parameter.

That fixes the "crash", indeed.

This seems a temporary kludge for 2.10 but not the correct long-term fix.

As commented in another thread [1] where I got a bit discomfited, it'd 
be nice if during the 2.11 schedule the industry provide some help to 
clean/unify the loader.c code, ideally remove all duplicated code not 
arch-specific and use hw/core/loader*.

Sorry, but this here *is* a machine-specific problem. I fail to see how
this should be related to the hw/core/loader.c code?

Yes, this assert is a problem, same as the one in xen_load_linux() and 
this is a surgical fix, indeed.

I probably misused the "kludge" word, sorry. My comment was about 
long-term use of -kernel.

Maybe I didn't point to the correct file, I was thinking about the 
various hw/$arch/boot.c. My feeling is the -kernel parameter started as 
something simple years ago then grow and now his usage is somehow 
abused. I'd rather see a common hw/core/boot.c with each arch just 
adding arch-related fixes.

For example in hw/arm/boot.c, see arm_load_kernel_notify(), except 
features parsing, initrd_start and the fixupcontext part, most of the 
code is multiarch and could benefit other archs less lov^H^H^Hsupported. 
arm_load_kernel() is generic. In load_dtb() only the acells/scells is 
arm-specific and could replace dup microblaze code, work on mips, etc.

Regards,

Phil.
