[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v1 0/5] Add error_abort and associated cleanups

[Peter Crosthwaite <peter.crosthwaite@xilinx.com>]

Following our discussion RE self asserting API calls, here is a spin of
my proposal. This series obsoletes the need for _nofail variants for
Error ** accepting APIs. Is also greately reduces the verbosity of calls
sites that are currently asserting against errors.

Patch 1 is the main event - addition of error_abort. The following
patches then cleanup uses of _nofail and assert_no_error().

To give it a smoke test, I introduce a (critical) bug into QOM:

--- a/qom/object.c
+++ b/qom/object.c
@@ -797,7 +797,7 @@ void object_property_set(Object *obj, Visitor *v,
const char *name,
         return;
     }

-    if (!prop->set) {
+    if (prop->set) {
         error_set(errp, QERR_PERMISSION_DENIED);
     } else {
         prop->set(obj, v, prop->opaque, name, errp);

And run QEMU:

$ gdb --args ./microblazeel-softmmu/qemu-system-microblazeel -M petalogix-ml605 -nographic

Without application of this series, the bug manifests as:

qemu-system-microblazeel: Insufficient permission to perform this operation

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
(gdb) bt
0  0x00007ffff55f7425 in __GI_raise (sig=<optimized out>) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64
1  0x00007ffff55fab8b in __GI_abort () at abort.c:91
2  0x00005555557073da in assert_no_error (err=<optimized out>) at qobject/qerror.c:128
3  0x0000555555615159 in qdev_property_add_static (dev=0x555555e9e6a0, prop=0x5555559ea4c0, errp=0x7fffffffe3c0) at hw/core/qdev.c:666
4  0x0000555555615355 in device_initfn (obj=<optimized out>) at hw/core/qdev.c:744

With this series, we now get a the full backtrace into the QOM API when
the assertion occurs (note stack frames 2-4 giving visibility into the
broken QOM API):
