Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
On riscv64 Ubuntu 24.05 the libvirtd.service shows an error Host sysinfo extraction not supported on this platform: Function not implemented libvirtd.service: Deactivated successfully. This is due to a bug in src/util/virsysinfo.c where the wrong symbol is used to detect the RISC-V architecture. The bug makes virt-manager unusable on RISC-V. See upstream patch https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/de...@lists.libvirt.org/thread/YJQSZWRNMQ5VQ5JXSSR4K2VNAKJUFEDP/ On Ubuntu 24.04 the check for virSysinfoRead() is completely missing. So upstream commit b902cfece0db ("virsysinfo: Try reading DMI table") needs to be applied first. As a partner board SiFive HiFive Premier P550 that runs on Ubuntu Noble and provides the hypervisor extension is available we should backport the solution. [ Test Plan ] Install the libvirt-daemon package and check the status of libvirtd.service both on amd64 and riscv64. [ Where problems could occur ] The change only changes if SMBIOS information is read on RISC-V but an incorrect change might impact the detection of other architectures. Therefore test on amd64, too.
