Subject: [PATCH] libqtest: refuse QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=qemu-kvm
Date: Wed,  7 Apr 2021 11:45:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210407104511.343061-1-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)

Some downstreams rename the QEMU binary to "qemu-kvm". This breaks
qtest_get_arch(), which attempts to parse the target architecture from
the QTEST_QEMU_BINARY environment variable.

Print an error instead of returning the architecture "kvm". Things fail
in weird ways when the architecture string is bogus.

Arguably qtests should always be run in a build directory instead of
against an installed QEMU. In any case, printing a clear error when this
happens is helpful.
