[Qemu-devel] Freezes on Qemu 3.1 using latest Glib 2.60.0

[Qemu-devel] Freezes on Qemu 3.1 using latest Glib 2.60.0

[Carlos Eduardo de Paula]

I currently use Qemu on Mac via Homebrew and recently updated the packages
which included Glib to 2.60.0.

This update broke Qemu 3.1 that now freezes while booting a VM. On 2.58.3
Qemu worked perfectly.

Qemu was launched with:

qemu-system-riscv64 \    -nographic \    -machine virt \    -smp 4 \
 -m 4G \    -kernel bbl-kernel-5.0.1.riscv64 \    -object
rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \    -device
virtio-rng-device,rng=rng0 \    -append "console=ttyS0 rw
root=/dev/vda" \    -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \    -drive
file=debian-latest.qcow2,format=qcow2,id=hd0 \    -device
virtio-net-device,netdev=usernet \    -netdev
user,id=usernet,hostfwd=tcp::22222-:22

It's boot logs are:

And freezes at that point. Nothing else was changed, only the Glib version.
Qemu is built on Homebrew by this formula:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/glib.rb

I tried rebuilding Qemu from source after updating to 2.60.0 but got same
problem.

Thanks
