Subject: [PATCH REPOST v4 4/4] acpi/virt: suppress UART device & SPCR when guest has no serial hardware
Date: Wed, 28 May 2025 18:53:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250528105404.457729-5-me@linux.beauty> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250528105404.457729-1-me@linux.beauty>
From: Li Chen <chenl311@chinatelecom.cn>
The virt machines always instantiate a PL011/16550 at UART0 and
describe it in ACPI (DSDT device node plus optional SPCR table). When
the command line contains “-serial none” there is no backend attached to
that UART, yet the guest still discovers it via ACPI and may try to use
it as a console, causing unexpected results.
And also explicitly add "-serial stdio" in bios-tables-test.c to allow
serial device creation, otherwise DSDT assert would get failure because
"-nodefaults" will not create uart device by default:
```
stderr:
acpi-test: Warning! DSDT binary file mismatch. Actual [aml:/tmp/aml-BMOL72], Expected [aml:tests/data/acpi/aarch64/virt/DSDT].
See source file tests/qtest/bios-tables-test.c for instructions on how to update expected files.
acpi-test: Warning! DSDT mismatch. Actual [asl:/tmp/asl-RNOL72.dsl, aml:/tmp/aml-BMOL72], Expected [asl:/tmp/asl-ZVQL72.dsl, aml:tests/data/acpi/aarch64/virt/DS
DT].
```
