Subject: [PATCH v6 24/27] util: add support for formatting a workload name in messages
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:25:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211152508.732487-25-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260211152508.732487-1-berrange@redhat.com>

The error_report function can include the guest name in any
messages it prints. The qemu_log function has no equivalent
behaviour.

This introduces support for a "workload name" in the new
messages API, which in the case of system emulators will
be the guest name. The possibility of defining a workload
name for other binaries is left as an exercise for the
future.

This change has no impact on the output of the error_report
function, but will change the qemu_log function. This can
be easily seen with the 'log' trace backend, and how it is
now more closely matching error_report output.

Before:

  # qemu-system-x86_64 -msg guest-name=on -name blah -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish -d 'trace:qcrypto*'
  qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55b3af3fd870 dir=fish
  qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55b3af3fd870 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none>
  blah qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory

After:

  # qemu-system-x86_64 -msg guest-name=on -name blah -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish -d 'trace:qcrypto*'
  blah qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55b3af3fd870 dir=fish
  blah qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55b3af3fd870 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none>
  blah qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory
