From 3b4f50bd7d16322a109a026a87a945dff660f38b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2020 12:12:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] hw/ppc/e500.c: Handle qemu_find_file() failure MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit If qemu_find_file() doesn't find the BIOS it returns NULL; we were passing that unchecked through to load_elf(), which assumes a non-NULL pointer and may misbehave. In practice it fails with a weird message: $ qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -display none -kernel nonesuch Bad address qemu-system-ppc: could not load firmware '(null)' Handle the failure case better: $ qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -display none -kernel nonesuch qemu-system-ppc: could not find firmware/kernel file 'nonesuch' Spotted by Coverity (CID 1238954).
