Thanks for the bisection, that's really helpful - that particular patch fixes the way in which memory region access sizes are treated as valid. The obvious device to look at here is isa-apple-smc since I suspect that has less CI coverage.
Looking at the access sizes of all 3 MemoryRegions within hw/misc/applesmc.c I think these would now reject all non-byte accesses - does the following patch help at all? diff --git a/hw/misc/applesmc.c b/hw/misc/applesmc.c index 1c4addb201..7ca89e5e86 100644 --- a/hw/misc/applesmc.c +++ b/hw/misc/applesmc.c @@ -288,7 +288,7 @@ static const MemoryRegionOps applesmc_data_io_ops = { .endianness = DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN, .impl = { .min_access_size = 1, - .max_access_size = 1, + .max_access_size = 4, }, }; @@ -298,7 +298,7 @@ static const MemoryRegionOps applesmc_cmd_io_ops = { .endianness = DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN, .impl = { .min_access_size = 1, - .max_access_size = 1, + .max_access_size = 4, }, }; @@ -308,7 +308,7 @@ static const MemoryRegionOps applesmc_err_io_ops = { .endianness = DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN, .impl = { .min_access_size = 1, - .max_access_size = 1, + .max_access_size = 4, }, }; ATB, Mark. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886318 Title: Qemu after v5.0.0 breaks macos guests Status in QEMU: New Bug description: The Debian Sid 5.0-6 qemu-kvm package can no longer get further than the Clover bootloader whereas 5.0-6 and earlier worked fine. So I built qemu master from github and it has the same problem, whereas git tag v5.0.0 (or 4.2.1) does not, so something between v5.0.0 release and the last few days has caused the problem. Here's my qemu script, pretty standard macOS-Simple-KVM setup on a Xeon host: qemu-system-x86_64 \ -enable-kvm \ -m 4G \ -machine q35,accel=kvm \ -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2 \ -cpu Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+sse3,+sse4.2,+aes,+xsave,+avx,+xsaveopt,+xsavec,+xgetbv1,+avx2,+bmi2,+smep,+bmi1,+fma,+movbe,+invtsc \ -device isa-applesmc,osk="ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" \ -smbios type=2 \ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file="/tmp/OVMF_CODE.fd" \ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file="/tmp/macos_catalina_VARS.fd" \ -vga qxl \ -device ich9-ahci,id=sata \ -drive id=ESP,if=none,format=raw,file=/tmp/ESP.img \ -device ide-hd,bus=sata.2,drive=ESP \ -drive id=InstallMedia,format=raw,if=none,file=/tmp/BaseSystem.img \ -device ide-hd,bus=sata.3,drive=InstallMedia \ -drive id=SystemDisk,if=none,format=raw,file=/tmp/macos_catalina.img \ -device ide-hd,bus=sata.4,drive=SystemDisk \ -usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse Perhaps something has changed in Penryn support recently, as that's required for macos?
