[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1755912] Re: qemu-system-x86_64 crashed with SIGABRT when using option -vga qxl

["Leonardo Müller" <leozinho29_eu@hotmail.com>]

I meant the option --enable-opengl and, for old versions, --enable-gtk-
gl. I know it is required to use virtual machines using Intel GVT-g with
dma-buf, and is a option strangely absent from QEMU configuration from
Ubuntu's build. Without it, virgl fails too, making virt-manager have an
option that does not work (under Spice Display, OpenGL option does not
work).

The 2.12 build does crash when tested. That while loop is pretty
efficient to trigger it. The git version can keep running it for hours
straight with no problem, while the problematic versions crash in
seconds.

As QEMU configuration is a result mixed between packages found
automatically and those manually set by me, here is the configure
command and its results from my QEMU build:

Please note that I had no need to build other targets for my use, so the
configuration is much smaller than the one used by Ubuntu's QEMU.

Title:
  qemu-system-x86_64 crashed with SIGABRT when using option -vga qxl

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using qemu-system-x86_64 with the option -vga qxl, it crashes.
  The easiest way to crash it is by trying to change the guest's
  resolution. However, the system may randomly crash too, not happening
  only when changing resolution. Here is the terminal output of one of
  these random crashes:

  --------

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/sdb -m 2048 -enable-kvm -cpu host -vga qxl -nodefaults -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,id=net0,netdev=hostnet0
  WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/dev/sdb' and probing guessed raw.
           Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
           Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.

  --------

  I was running QEMU as a normal user which is on the groups kvm and
  disk. Initially I supposed the problem was because I was running QEMU
  as root, but as a normal user this happens too.

  I have tested with guests with different Ubuntu version: 18.04, 17.10
  and 16.04. It is happening with them all.
