[PATCH v6 00/27] util: sync error_report & qemu_log output more closely
by Daniel P. Berrangé 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

This series is a tangent that came out of discussion in https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2025-08/msg00903.html In thinking about adding thread info to error_report, I came to realize we should likely make qemu_log behave consistently with error_report & friends. We already honour '-msg timestamp=on', but don't honour 'guest-name=on' and also don't include the binary name. As an example of the current state, consider mixing error and log output today: - Default context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55ac6d97f700 dir=fish qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55ac6d97f700 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none> qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory - Full context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' \ -msg guest-name=on,timestamp=on \ -name "fish food" 2025-08-19T20:14:16.791413Z qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55e9a3458d10 dir=fish 2025-08-19T20:14:16.791429Z qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55e9a3458d10 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none> 2025-08-19T20:14:16.791433Z fish food qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory And after this series is complete: - Default context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' qemu-system-x86_64(1184284:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55a24ad5cb30 dir=fish qemu-system-x86_64(1184284:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55a24ad5cb30 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none> qemu-system-x86_64(1184284:main): Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory - Full context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' \ -msg guest-name=on,timestamp=on \ -name "fish food" 2025-08-19T20:12:50.211823Z [fish food] qemu-system-x86_64(1168876:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x5582183d8760 dir=fish 2025-08-19T20:12:50.211842Z [fish food] qemu-system-x86_64(1168876:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x5582183d8760 filename=ca-cert.pem +path=<none> 2025-08-19T20:12:50.211846Z [fish food] qemu-system-x86_64(1168876:main): Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory The main things to note: * error_report/warn_report/qemu_log share the same output format and -msg applies to both * -msg debug-threads=on is now unconditionally enabled and thus the param is deprecated & ignored * Thread ID and name are unconditionally enabled * Guest name is surrounded in [...] brackets * The default output lines are typically 15 chars wider given that we always include the thread ID + name now * This takes the liberty of assigning the new file to the existing error-report.c maintainer (Markus) Since splitting it off into message.c instead of putting it all in error-report.c felt slightly nicer. One thing I didn't tackle is making the location info get reported for qemu_log. This is used to give context for error messages when parsing some CLI args, and could be interesting for log messages associated with those same CLI args. Changes in v6: - Don't use pthread API to set main thread name, as this affects visibility in 'top' and 'ps' - Split off Win32 thread naming race fix intoseparate patch - Tweaks to wording in API docs for logging - Improve VNC auth error messages - Don't relpace monitor_cur_is_qmp with monitor_cur_is_hmp, change code approach instead Changes in v5: - Use g_strlcpy instead of strlcpy - Remove redundant !! around a value that was already bool - Improve the qemu_lock_trylock() API docs to encourage use of fprintf() instead of further qemu_log() calls - Add a qemu_log_trylock_context() counterpart for qemu_log_trylock that includes the message context - Don't scan for \n to determine whether we can output a message context prefix or not. Instead track call depth on qemu_log_trylock() and only output it when the depth was initially zero. This fixes linux-user -strace output formatting which was mangled by v4 - Use fprintf(stderr) instead of error_printf_mon in cases where mon would be NULL - Use fputs/fputc in simple cases where we don't need the full power of fprintf - Use qemu_f{un}lockfile instead of f{un}lockfile - Add -msg thread-info=on|off,program-name=on|off args to allow default message prefixes to be optionally disabled Changes in v4: - Re-architected the way error_vprintf() operates to simplify monitor dependency - Fixed the move of error_vprintf from monitor.c to error-report.c so that unit tests can still get a stub to capture messages to g_test_message - Simplify changes to vreport() to avoid passing around function pointers - Add locking of stderr to vreport() to serialize incremental output - Fix thread naming logic changes on Windows - Change deprecation warning messages Changes in v3: - Stop formatting a string in qmessage_context, instead output directly to a "FILE *" stream - Fix pre-existing bug interleaving qemu_log and vreport when the trace 'log' backend has mutex probes enabled Changes in v2: - Re-use existing qemu_get_thread_id rather than re-inventing it as qemu_thread_get_id. - Expose qemu_thread_set_name and use it from all locations needing to set thread names - Fix qemu_log() to skip context prefix when emitting a log message in fragments across multiple calls - Skip allocating memory for empty context messages - Fix leak in win32 impl of qemu_thread_get_name - Use g_strlcpy where possible Daniel P.

[libvirt PATCH for 12.1.0] domain_conf: initialize network hostdev private data
by Pavel Hrdina 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

From: Pavel Hrdina <phrdina(a)redhat.com> Currently virDomainNetDef and virDomainActualNetDef use virDomainHostdevDef directly as structure and the code doesn't call virDomainHostdevDefNew() that would initialize private data. This is hackish quick fix to solve a crash that happens in two scenarios: 1. attaching any interface with hostdev backend 0x0000fffbfc0e2a90 in qemuDomainAttachHostPCIDevice (driver=0xfffbb4006750, vm=0xfffbf001f790, hostdev=0xfffbf400b150) at ../src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c:1652 1652 if ((ret = qemuFDPassDirectTransferMonitor(hostdevPriv->vfioDeviceFd, priv->mon)) < 0) 2. starting VM with interface with hostdev backend using iommufd 0x00007f6638d5b9ca in qemuProcessOpenVfioDeviceFd (hostdev=hostdev@entry=0x7f6634425ee0) at ../src/qemu/qemu_process.c:7719 7719 hostdevPriv->vfioDeviceFd = qemuFDPassDirectNew(name, &vfioDeviceFd); Proper fix for this issue is to refactor network code to use pointer and to use virDomainHostdevDefNew().

[PATCH v2] util: fix use-after-free in virIdentityGetSystem
by Stefan Kober 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

We have a g_autoptr ret in the virIdentityGetSystem function. In the happy path it is properly returned by doing: return g_steal_pointer(&ret); There are 2 early return paths, were we do the following: "return ret;" This leads to the g_autoptr being cleaned up after we leave the function, as we do not properly "steal" it. When later using the return value we have a use-after-free, which has led to segfaults in some cases. As this is a regression introduced in 1280a631ef488aeaab905eb30a55899ef8ba97be, we change the behavior to properly return NULL in those cases.

[PATCH 0/4] Remove deprecated qemu-system-microblazeel from the build

25 Feb '26

The qemu-system-microblazeel binary has been marked as deprecated since two releases, and there were no complaints (as far as I know), so it should be fine to remove this now.
