[Qemu-devel] BUG: memory API related abort (bisected)

[Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>]

Reproducer:

 1. Start QEMU with gdb support:

    $ qemu [...] -kernel [...] -s

 2. Start gdb and install a breakpoint

    gdb /path/to/vmlinux
    (gdb) target remote localhost:1234
    (gdb) b init_hw_perf_events
    Remote communication error.  Target disconnected.: Connection reset by peer.

 3. Kaboom on QEMU terminal

According to bisect the culprit is:

commit 23326164ae6fe8d94b7eff123e03f97ca6978d33
Author: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>

    exec: Support 64-bit operations in address_space_rw
    
    Honor the implementation maximum access size, and at least check
    the minimum access size.

Backtrace (a bit long):
