Subject: [PULL 23/27] util: fix interleaving of error & trace output
Date: Thu,  5 Mar 2026 17:47:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305174743.3084606-24-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305174743.3084606-1-berrange@redhat.com>

The monitor_cur_hmp() function will acquire/release mutex locks, which
will trigger trace probes, which can in turn trigger qemu_log() calls.
vreport() calls monitor_cur() multiple times through its execution
both directly and indirectly via error_vprintf().

The result is that the prefix information printed by vreport() gets
interleaved with qemu_log() output, when run outside the context of
an HMP command dispatcher. This can be seen with:

 $ qemu-system-x86_64 \
     -msg timestamp=on,guest-name=on \
     -display none \
     -object tls-creds-x509,id=f,dir=fish \
     -name fish \
     -d trace:qemu_mutex*

To avoid this interleaving (as well as reduce the huge number of
mutex lock/unlock calls) we need to ensure that monitor_cur_is_hmp()
is only called once at the start of vreport(), and if no HMP is
present, no further monitor APIs can be called.

This implies error_[v]printf() cannot be called from vreport().
Instead we must introduce error_[v]printf_mon() which accept a
pre-acquired Monitor object. In some cases, however, fprintf
can be called directly as output will never be directed to the
monitor.
