Subject: [PATCH] hw/arm/bcm283x: Initialize CPU objects in SoC common DeviceRealize()
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 08:52:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029075257.63635-1-philmd@linaro.org> (raw)
QOM .instance_init() handler can not fail. QDev DeviceRealize
can.
The device-introspect QTest enumerates all QDev types and
instantiate each one, without realizing it, then introspects
the instance properties.
When switching to a single QEMU binary, all QDev types are
available in the binary, but only a filtered subset might be
available, depending on which previous target the binary is
trying to mimic.
In particular with the Raspi machines, the TYPE_RASPI4B_MACHINE
and ARM_CPU_TYPE_NAME("cortex-a72") will be built in the
qemu-system-arm binary, while not available (because filtered
as being 64-bit, for the qemu-system-aarch64 binary).
However the TYPE_BCM2838 SoC is not filtered out, and will
abort when being initialized, because the "cortex-a72" CPU type
is filtered out, leading to device-introspect failure:
1/1 qemu:qtest+qtest-arm / qtest-arm/device-introspect-test ERROR 2.46s killed by signal 6 SIGABRT
stderr:
unknown type 'cortex-a72-arm-cpu'
Broken pipe
../../tests/qtest/libqtest.c:199: kill_qemu() tried to terminate QEMU process but encountered exit status 1 (expected 0)
(test program exited with status code -6)
TAP parsing error: Too few tests run (expected 167, got 5)
In order to avoid that, move the CPU *initialization* in the
SoC DeviceRealize handler, so the SoC initialization won't
fail, while realization still will.
