qemu_plugin_hwaddr_phys_addr() returns an uint64_t, so this looks
wrong to me.

It is. However it just goes to show you should be expecting to
instrument 64 bit code with a 32 bit host because you can't do pointer
stuffing tricks like this.

Maybe we could just disable plugins on 32 bit hosts?


Only two plugins are concerned by this problem, it's worth fixing them
correctly (i.e. not use 64 bits data directly as a pointer, but allocate
memory and pass pointer instead).


After looking more closely at existing plugins, the problem is wider than expected (and build warnings). The GLib macro (GUINT_TO_POINTER) silently transform an int64 value to a pointer, including on 32 bits platform. It performs a double case (unsigned long -> pointer).

Thus, even if there is no warning, some plugins are broken because of data (either because they pass data in callback, or they have an address based hashtable).

It could be fixable, but the wiser solution is probably to disable plugins on 32 bits platform, like Alex proposed.
