[Qemu-devel] [PULL 17/36] arm: virt: Fix segmentation fault when specifying an unsupported CPU

[Peter Maydell]

From: Shannon Zhao <address@hidden>

Using -cpu cortex-a9 (or any other unsupported CPU) with the virt
board will cause QEMU to segmentation fault.  This bug was introduced
in commit 9ac4ef77, which incorrectly added a NULL terminator when
converting the VirtBoardInfo array into a simple array of strings
defining the valid CPUs. The cpuname_valid() loop already has
a termination condition based on ARRAY_SIZE, so the NULL is
spurious and causes the strcmp() to segfault if we reach it.
Delete the NULL.
