Hi Salil, It seems my comment [1] in v7 was missed, but I still hit the same issue. Pls let me paste the previous comment here again.

The above error is because device-introspect-test sets the none-machine: # starting QEMU: exec ./qemu-system-i386 -qtest unix:/tmp/qtest-3094820.sock -qtest-log /dev/null -chardev socket,path=/tmp/qtest-3094820.qmp,id=char0 -mon chardev=char0,mode=control -display none -audio none -nodefaults -machine none -accel qtest So what about just checking mc->possible_cpu_arch_ids instead of an assert in cpu_hotplug_hw_init()? diff --git a/hw/acpi/cpu.c b/hw/acpi/cpu.c index 4b24a2500361..303f1f1f57bc 100644 --- a/hw/acpi/cpu.c +++ b/hw/acpi/cpu.c @@ -221,7 +221,10 @@ void cpu_hotplug_hw_init(MemoryRegion *as, Object *owner, const CPUArchIdList *id_list; int i; - assert(mc->possible_cpu_arch_ids); + if (!mc->possible_cpu_arch_ids) { + return; + } + id_list = mc->possible_cpu_arch_ids(machine); state->dev_count = id_list->len; state->devs = g_new0(typeof(*state->devs), state->dev_count); This check seems to be acceptable in the general code path? Not all machines have possible_cpu_arch_ids, after all. Thanks, Zhao
