arm64 kernel crash in bochs_get_edid_block() with QEMU '-device VGA'

arm64 kernel crash in bochs_get_edid_block() with QEMU '-device VGA'

[Juerg Haefliger]

The QEMU default edid=off results in a kernel crash [1] on arm64 due
to commit [2]. To reproduce:

$ ARCH=arm64 make defconfig
$ ./scripts/config -e DRM -e DRM_BOCHS
$ ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make olddefconfig Image
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -cpu cortex-a57 -device VGA -device
virtio-serial-pci -kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image -append
"console=ttyAMA0"

Using '-device VGA,edid=on' instead works just fine.

$ qemu-system-aarch64 -version
QEMU emulator version 4.0.0 (Debian 1:4.0+dfsg-0ubuntu9.2)

Should be fixed in qemu 5.0-rc0
