[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/9] A couple of fixes for ThreadSanitizer

[Alex Bennée]

Hi,

This is v2 of the ThreadSanitizer fixes. Changes from the last
version:

  - added Marc-André's review tags
  - added qga/command: use QEMU atomic primitives
  - simplified ui/vnc-enc-tight: remove switch and have single return
  - fixed the Travis CI build (that was painful....)

There is still some work to do to go through and fix warnings from the
sanitizer. Notably "make check" doesn't complete and generates a load
of warnings and I haven't investigated the warnings generated by
co-routines.

With this series applied you can enable ThreadSanitizer with the
following command line:

  ./configure --extra-cflags="-g3 -O0 \
    -fsantize=thread \
    -fsanitize-blacklist=/home/alex/lsrc/qemu/qemu.git/blacklist.tsan" \
    --with-coroutine=gthread --disable-pie --enable-debug --enable-debug-info

breakdown:
  -fsanitize=thread - enables sanitizer
  -fsanitize-blacklist - skip things the compiler finds hard, like SSE
  --with-coroutine=gthread - tsan chokes on other forms of coroutine
  --disable-pie - tsan no longer works with PIE
  --enable-debug --enable-debug-info - better backtraces
