[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.12] hw/char/serial: Fix crash when serial_mm_i


From: Thomas Huth
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.12] hw/char/serial: Fix crash when serial_mm_init() is used with -nodefaults
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 16:00:16 +0100

Quite a lot of boards call serial_mm_init() directly with a value from
the serial_hds[] table. However, this table is only containing NULL
if QEMU has been started with "-nodefaults":

$ gdb --args arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -S -nodefaults -M cubieboard
(gdb) r
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
qemu_chr_fe_init (address@hidden, address@hidden, errp=0x55555697eb40 
<error_abort>)
    at chardev/char-fe.c:210
210         } else if (s->be) {

Since calling serial_mm_init with a NULL pointer seems to be a common
pattern between many boards, let's simply fix this by creating a "null"
chardev on the fly in this case.
