Several devices don't survive object_unref(object_new(T)): they crash
or hang during cleanup, or they leave dangling pointers behind.
This breaks at least device-list-properties, because
qmp_device_list_properties() needs to create a device to find its
properties. Broken in commit f4eb32b "qmp: show QOM properties in
device-list-properties", v2.1. Example reproducer:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -nodefaults -display none -machine none -S -qmp stdio
{"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 4, "major": 2}, "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
{"return": {}}
{ "execute": "device-list-properties", "arguments": { "typename": "pxa2xx-pcmcia" } }
qemu-system-aarch64: /home/armbru/work/qemu/memory.c:1307: memory_region_finalize: Assertion `((&mr->subregions)->tqh_first == ((void *)0))' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
[Exit 134 (SIGABRT)]
Unfortunately, I can't fix the problems in these devices right now.
Instead, add DeviceClass member cannot_destroy_with_object_finalize_yet
to mark them:
* Hang during cleanup (didn't debug, so I can't say why):
"realview_pci", "versatile_pci".
* Dangling pointer in cpus: most CPUs, plus "allwinner-a10", "digic",
"fsl,imx25", "fsl,imx31", "xlnx,zynqmp", because they create such
CPUs
* Assert kvm_enabled(): "host-x86_64-cpu", host-i386-cpu",
"host-powerpc64-cpu", "host-embedded-powerpc-cpu",
"host-powerpc-cpu" (the powerpc ones can't currently reach the
assertion, because the CPUs are only registered when KVM is enabled,
but the assertion is arguably in the wrong place all the same)
Make qmp_device_list_properties() fail cleanly when the device is so
marked. This improves device-list-properties from "crashes, hangs or
leaves dangling pointers behind" to "fails". Not a complete fix, just
a better-than-nothing work-around. In the above reproducer,
device-list-properties now fails with "Can't list properties of device
'pxa2xx-pcmcia'".
This also protects -device FOO,help, which uses the same machinery
since commit ef52358 "qdev-monitor: include QOM properties in -device
FOO, help output", v2.2. Example reproducer:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -machine none -device pxa2xx-pcmcia,help
Before:
qemu-system-aarch64: .../memory.c:1307: memory_region_finalize: Assertion `((&mr->subregions)->tqh_first == ((void *)0))' failed.
After:
Can't list properties of device 'pxa2xx-pcmcia'
