Make PANDA changes to QEMU patchfiles instead of source #32
Comments

Also, if I can get a QEMU version tag that PANDA currently uses, I might be willing to help sift through and do the diffs myself. For my purposes, I really need to update QEMU, and the current implementation is going be a pain to upgrade. |

The current version is 1.0.1. On Saturday, November 22, 2014, aoighost notifications@github.com wrote:

Closing since I don't think this is easily fixable. We have some long-term plans to update the version of qemu, but record/replay is very finicky and very strongly tied to qemu internals. For reference, upgrading RR from 0.9.4 to 1.0.1 was about a summer's worth of full-time work for one person. |
Both virtio-blk and virtio-scsi use virtio_queue_empty() as the
loop condition in VQ handlers (virtio_blk_handle_vq,
virtio_scsi_handle_cmd_vq). When a device is marked broken in
virtqueue_pop, for example if a vIOMMU address translation failed, we
want to break out of the loop.
This fixes a hanging problem when booting a CentOS 3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64
kernel with ATS enabled:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
... \
-device intel-iommu,intremap=on,caching-mode=on,eim=on,device-iotlb=on \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,iommu_platform=on,ats=on,id=scsi0,bus=pci.4,addr=0x0
The dead loop happens immediately when the kernel boots and initializes
the device, where virtio_scsi_data_plane_handle_cmd will not return:

With this patch, virtio_queue_empty will now return 1 as soon as the
vdev is marked as broken, after a "virtio: zero sized buffers are not
allowed" error.
To be consistent, update virtio_queue_empty_rcu as well.

Moving the PANDA changes to QEMU to patchfiles would make it easier to update QEMU used by PANDA when needed, which will allow for more and better functionality in analysis.
Examples of new functionality that has been added to QEMU that isn't in PANDA includes things such as USB and PCI Passthrough support. Both of these things can be very useful when analyzing more advanced applications.
