[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] linux-user: call cpu_copy under clone_lock

[Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com>]

cpu_copy adds newly created CPU object to container/machine/unattached,
but does it w/o proper locking. As a result when multiple threads are
created rapidly QEMU may abort with the following message:

  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_iter_next: assertion
  'ri->version == ri->hash_table->version' failed

  ERROR:qemu/qom/object.c:1663:object_get_canonical_path_component:
  code should not be reached

Move cpu_copy invocation under clone_lock to fix that.
