[Qemu-devel] [Bug] System emulation with flash broken?

[Stefan Weil]

Hello Avi,

latest QEMU seems to be broken when a system emulation with flash is 
started.

I did not run git bisect, but it looks like the problem started with 
this change:

c5705a7728b4a6bc9e4f2d35911adbaf28042b25

vmstate, memory: decouple vmstate from memory API

I first noticed the problem with my AR7 emulation (not part
of official QEMU), but also got it with MIPS Malta, so I assume
that all systems with flash are broken and fail with this assertion:

/qemu/exec.c:2785: qemu_ram_set_idstr: Assertion `new_block' failed.

The function is searching for address 0x10000009 which is 0x10000000
plus an index. Without the index, the address would have been found.

Regards,

Stefan
