Hi,
I am installing some software (iTunes) in my Windows 2000 SP4 virtual
machine. I don't know what it is going to /do/, specifically, to my VM
so I would like to run QEMU in snapshot mode so that I can commit system
changes only if desired. However, when I run qemu like this, I get into
trouble:
andrew@r51:~$ qemu -hda .disk/win2k.dsk -m 256 -snapshot -kernel-kqemu
-usb -usbdevice tablet -localtime -smb /home/andrew
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0xAborted
Sometimes it finishes printing the address: 0x09b2c738
The SDL window never comes up, the abort is instanenous. I did a
backtrace but because I built Debian packages debhelper strips the debug
information out, so it doesn't say much. I can rebuild QEMU with debug
information and obtain a proper backtrace if it would be useful to
someone.
This is a QEMU 0.8.2 CVS snapshot of 2006/08/19. I did a 'cvs up' on my
source tree, only the documentation has been updated since then.
Normally I run this VM exactly the same except without the '-snapshot'
parameter. If I remove that, it starts up as expected.
The disk image is QCOW2 and kqemu is 1.3.0pre9 (BTW, '-no-kqemu' without
'-kernel-kqemu' makes no difference)
glibc is 2.3.6-ds1-2 from Debian sid. QEMU was compiled with GCC 3.4.6
also from Debian.

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that
the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if
you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all
means, do not use a hammer.

Why not just build it right from the source instead of using debhelper?
With that, just have install into /usr/local.

Well, apparently QEMU's build system strips the binaries on it's own so
debhelper is irrelevant to this particular problem. Anyway, after
moving /usr/bin/strip out of the way and symlinking that to /bin/true, I
have a backtrace I hope will be of use to Fabrice or someone else:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/qemu -hda .disk/win2k.dsk -m 256
-kernel-kqemu -usb -usbdevice tablet -localtime -smb /home/andrew

FYI... you can actually run the unstripped binaries from the build tree
instead of the target installation directory. For example, if you have
qemu installed in /opt/qemu, but you built in
/home/andrew/packages/src/qemu, instead of:
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu
run:
/home/andrew/packages/src/qemu/i386-softmmu/qemu
replace i386-softmmu with whatever target you are trying to run if
that's not it. The binary is not stripped until after it's installed in
the target directory, so you can use the one in the build directory for
debugging if needed.

Hi Andrew,
I get the same error message when a raw disk image cannot be accessed:
$ ./i386-softmmu/qemu -snapshot -m 256 /dev/hda
Could not configure '/dev/rtc' to have a 1024 Hz timer. This is not a fatal
error, but for better emulation accuracy either use a 2.6 host Linux
kernel or
type 'echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq' as root.
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x09b29120 ***
Abgebrochen
With read access to /dev/hda, everything works fine.
My libc is Debian libc6-2.3.6-15, and the abort message is correct:
QEMU CVS head frees the same memory (bs->opaque in bdrv_close) 2 times.
Older versions of QEMU did not have this bug:
$ qemu -snapshot -m 256 /dev/hda
qemu: could not open hard disk image '/dev/hda'
Regards
Stefan

Fabrice latest update (block.c, block-raw.c) fixes this.
Merci, Fabrice.
