glibc wipes malloc(3) memory when the MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment variable is set. The value of the environment variable determines the bit pattern used to wipe memory. For more information, see http://udrepper.livejournal.com/11429.html. Set MALLOC_PERTURB_ for gtester and qemu-iotests. Note we pick a random value from 1 to 255 to expose more bugs. If you need to reproduce a crash use 'show environment' in gdb to extract the MALLOC_PERTURB_ value from a core dump. Both make check and qemu-iotests pass with MALLOC_PERTURB_ enabled.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite === * Intro This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu. It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio. * Usage Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check -qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods. * Feedback and patches Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@savannah.nongnu.org.
