From: Thomas Huth <th...@redhat.com> QEMU currently crashes when you try to inspect the machines based on TYPE_PC_MACHINE for their properties:
$ echo '{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" } { "execute": "qom-list-properties","arguments": { "typename": "pc-q35-10.0-machine"}}' \ | ./qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -qmp stdio {"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 2, "major": 9}, "package": "v9.2.0-1070-g87e115c122-dirty"}, "capabilities": ["oob"]}} {"return": {}} Segmentation fault (core dumped) This happens because TYPE_PC_MACHINE machines add a machine_init- done_notifier in their instance_init function - but instance_init of machines are not only called for machines that are realized, but also for machines that are introspected, so in this case the listener is added for a q35 machine that is never realized. But since there is already a running pc machine, the listener function is triggered immediately, causing a crash since it was not for the right machine it was meant for. Such listener functions must never be installed from an instance_init function. Let's do it from pc_basic_device_init() instead - this function is called from the MachineClass->init() function instead, i.e. guaranteed to be only called once in the lifetime of a QEMU process.
