Subject: [PATCH] qemu: Use valgrind annotations to mark kvm guest memory as
|
|
defined
|
|
|
|
valgrind with kvm produces a big amount of false positives regarding
|
|
"Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)". This
|
|
happens because the guest memory is allocated with qemu_vmalloc which
|
|
boils down posix_memalign etc. This function is (correctly) considered
|
|
by valgrind as returning undefined memory.
|
|
|
|
Since valgrind is based on jitting code, it will not be able to see
|
|
changes made by the guest to guest memory if this is done by KVM_RUN,
|
|
thus keeping most of the guest memory undefined.
|
|
|
|
Now lots of places in qemu will then use guest memory to change behaviour.
|
|
To avoid the flood of these messages, lets declare the whole guest
|
|
memory as defined. This will reduce the noise and allows us to see real
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
In the future we might want to make this conditional, since there
|
|
is actually something that we can use those false positives for:
|
|
These messages will point to code that depends on guest memory, so
|
|
we can use these backtraces to actually make an audit that is focussed
|
|
only at those code places. For normal development we dont want to
|
|
see those messages, though.
