Hi Gerd! Writing to you, as you were the last one who committed to vga_draw_graphic, hope you can help.
We faced the following crash in 2.12-based Qemu, but code seems not really changed: #0 __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56 #1 __GI_abort () at abort.c:90 #2 __assert_fail_base ( fmt=0x7f01126b9520 "%s%s%s:%u: %s%sAssertion `%s' failed.\n%n", assertion=assertion@entry=0x5612f995fff6 "start + length <= snap->end", file=file@entry=0x5612f99601d0 "/builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-2.10.0/exec.c", line=line@entry=1198, function=function@entry=0x5612f9960b60 <__PRETTY_FUNCTION__.33659> "cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty") at assert.c:92 #3 __GI___assert_fail ( assertion=assertion@entry=0x5612f995fff6 "start + length <= snap->end", file=file@entry=0x5612f99601d0 "/builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-2.10.0/exec.c", line=line@entry=1198, function=function@entry=0x5612f9960b60 <__PRETTY_FUNCTION__.33659> "cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty") at assert.c:101 #4 cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty (snap=snap@entry=0x5613087bdcb0, start=<optimized out>, length=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.10.0/exec.c:1198 #5 memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty (mr=mr@entry=0x5613092e08f0, snap=snap@entry=0x5613087bdcb0, addr=<optimized out>, size=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.10.0/memory.c:1949 #6 vga_draw_graphic (full_update=0, s=0x5613092e08e0) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.10.0/hw/display/vga.c:1678 #7 vga_update_display (opaque=0x5613092e08e0) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.10.0/hw/display/vga.c:1774 #8 vnc_refresh (dcl=0x561309116060) at ui/vnc.c:3013 #9 dpy_refresh (s=0x5613088f8e10) at ui/console.c:1613 #10 gui_update (opaque=0x5613088f8e10) at ui/console.c:201 #11 timerlist_run_timers (timer_list=0x5612fba05340) at util/qemu-timer.c:536 #12 qemu_clock_run_timers (type=<optimized out>) at util/qemu-timer.c:547 #13 qemu_clock_run_all_timers () at util/qemu-timer.c:662 #14 main_loop_wait (nonblocking=nonblocking@entry=0) at util/main-loop.c:521 #15 main_loop () at vl.c:1937 #16 main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>) at vl.c:4829 It's an assertion "assert(start + length <= snap->end);" in cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty, and seems that start = snap->end, when length is 511. Digging in, I found, that in vga_draw_graphic we most probably have s->get_bpp() returning zero, which leads to region_end = region_start, i.e. region of zero length, which then leads to snap->end == snap->start == s->vram.ram_block->offset. On the other hand page0 = addr & s->vbe_size_mask = 0 page1 = (addr + bwidth - 1) & s->vbe_size_mask = 511 which finally leads to assert fail in cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty() (addr is 0, bwidth is 512, width is 1024 and height is 768).. I don't understand, what get_bpp = 0 means? For me it looks strange (it is bits per pixel, isn't it?).. Hope you can shed some light on this. =============== some additional debugging information if it helps ======== (gdb) fr 4 #4 0x00005612f95d7a11 in cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty (snap=snap@entry=0x5613087bdcb0, start=<optimized out>, length=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.10.0/exec.c:1198 1198 assert(start + length <= snap->end); (gdb) list 1193 ram_addr_t length) 1194 { 1195 unsigned long page, end; 1196 1197 assert(start >= snap->start); 1198 assert(start + length <= snap->end); 1199 1200 end = TARGET_PAGE_ALIGN(start + length - snap->start) >> TARGET_PAGE_BITS; 1201 page = (start - snap->start) >> TARGET_PAGE_BITS; 1202 (gdb) info locals page = <optimized out> end = <optimized out> __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = "cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty" (gdb) p snap $61 = (DirtyBitmapSnapshot *) 0x5613087bdcb0 (gdb) p *snap $62 = {start = 77310459904, end = 77310459904, dirty = 0x5613087bdcc0} (gdb) fr 5 #5 0x00005612f9621d2e in memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty (mr=mr@entry=0x5613092e08f0, snap=snap@entry=0x5613087bdcb0, addr=<optimized out>, size=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.10.0/memory.c:1949 1949 return cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty(snap, (gdb) list 1944 1945 bool memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty(MemoryRegion *mr, DirtyBitmapSnapshot *snap, 1946 hwaddr addr, hwaddr size) 1947 { 1948 assert(mr->ram_block); 1949 return cpu_physical_memory_snapshot_get_dirty(snap, 1950 memory_region_get_ram_addr(mr) + addr, size); 1951 } 1952 1953 void memory_region_sync_dirty_bitmap(MemoryRegion *mr) (gdb) info locals __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = "memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty" (gdb) p *mr->ram_block $63 = {rcu = {next = 0x0, func = 0x0}, mr = 0x5613092e08f0, host = 0x7eeef9000000 <Address 0x7eeef9000000 out of bounds>, offset = 77310459904, used_length = 33554432, max_length = 33554432, resized = 0x0, flags = 0, idstr = "vga.vram", '\000' <repeats 247 times>, next = {le_next = 0x5613075fca80, le_prev = 0x5612fba2c748}, ramblock_notifiers = {lh_first = 0x0}, fd = -1, page_size = 4096, bmap = 0x0, unsentmap = 0x0} (gdb) fr 6 #6 0x00005612f9644af5 in vga_draw_graphic (full_update=0, s=0x5613092e08e0) at /usr/src/debug/qemu-2.10.0/hw/display/vga.c:1678 1678 update = memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty(&s->vram, snap, (gdb) list 1673 update = memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty(&s->vram, snap, 1674 page0, 0); 1675 update |= memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty(&s->vram, snap, 1676 page1, 0); 1677 } else { 1678 update = memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty(&s->vram, snap, 1679 page0, page1 - page0); 1680 } 1681 /* explicit invalidation for the hardware cursor (cirrus only) */ 1682 update |= vga_scanline_invalidated(s, y); (gdb) info locals double_scan = <optimized out> width = 1024 multi_scan = 0 y = 0 bits = <optimized out> snap = 0x5613087bdcb0 byteswap = <optimized out> region_end = <optimized out> addr1 = 0 addr = 0 share_surface = <optimized out> format = <optimized out> y1 = 0 y_start = -1 multi_run = 0 surface = 0x561308ac5c80 update = 0 depth = <optimized out> height = 768 bwidth = 512 region_start = <optimized out> vga_draw_line = 0x5612f96418d0 <vga_draw_line8d2> mask = <optimized out> page0 = <optimized out> d = 0x56130a68c000 "" v = <optimized out> force_shadow = false shift_control = <optimized out> page1 = <optimized out> disp_width = 1024 (gdb) p full_update $64 = 0 (gdb) p s->line_offset $65 = 0 (gdb) p s->get_bpp $66 = (int (*)(struct VGACommonState *)) 0x5612f9641f60 <vga_get_bpp> (gdb) p s->vbe_regs $67 = {45248, 1024, 768, 32, 0, 0, 1024, 8192, 0, 0} // which means that vbe_enabled should return 0 and then vga_get_bpp should return 0 (gdb) p (s->gr[5] >> 5) & 3 $68 = 2 // it should be shift_control -- Best regards, Vladimir
