[Qemu-devel] [PULL 2/2] monitor: fix dangling CPU pointer

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)" <dgilbert@redhat.com>]

From: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>

If a CPU selected with the "cpu" command is hot-unplugged then "info cpus"
causes QEMU to exit:

(qemu) device_del cpu1
(qemu) info cpus
qemu:qemu_cpu_kick_thread: No such process

This happens because "cpu" stores the pointer to the selected CPU into
the monitor structure. When the CPU is hot-unplugged, we end up with a
dangling pointer. The "info cpus" command then does:

hmp_info_cpus()
 monitor_get_cpu_index()
  mon_get_cpu()
   cpu_synchronize_state() <--- called with dangling pointer

This could cause a QEMU crash as well.

This patch switches the monitor to store the QOM path instead of a
pointer to the current CPU. The path is then resolved when needed.
If the resolution fails, we assume that the CPU was removed and the
path is resetted to the default (ie, path of first_cpu).
