[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 05/16] hw/cpu/a15mpcore: Fix introspection problem with the a15mpcore_priv device

[Thomas Huth]

There is a memory management problem when introspecting the a15mpcore_priv
device. It can be seen with valgrind when running QEMU like this:

echo "{'execute':'qmp_capabilities'} {'execute':'device-list-properties'," \
 "'arguments':{'typename':'a15mpcore_priv'}}"\
 "{'execute': 'human-monitor-command', " \
 "'arguments': {'command-line': 'info qtree'}}"  | \
 valgrind -q aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -M none,accel=qtest -qmp stdio
{"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 12, "major": 2},
 "package": "build-all"}, "capabilities": []}}
{"return": {}}
{"return": [{"name": "num-cpu", "type": "uint32"}, {"name": "num-irq",
 "type": "uint32"}, {"name": "a15mp-priv-container[0]", "type":
  "child<qemu:memory-region>"}]}
==24978== Invalid read of size 8
==24978==    at 0x618EBA: qdev_print (qdev-monitor.c:686)
==24978==    by 0x618EBA: qbus_print (qdev-monitor.c:719)
[...]

Use the new sysbus_init_child_obj() function to make sure that we get
the reference counting of the child objects right.
