The log lists things like -smbios type=1,vendor="Red Hat", which is great for shell parsing, but not so great when you realize that execve() then passes those literal "" on as part of the command line argument, such that qemu sets SMBIOS with extra literal quotes. The eventual addition of virCommand is needed before we have the API to shell-quote a string representation of a command line, so that the log can still be pasted into a shell, but without inserting extra bytes into the execve() arguments. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuBuildSmbiosBiosStr) (qemuBuildSmbiosSystemStr): Qemu doesn't like quotes around uuid arguments, and the remaining quotes are passed literally to smbios, making <smbios mode='host'/> inaccurate. Removing the quotes makes the log harder to parse, but that can be fixed later with virCommand improvements. * tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smbios.args: 'Fix' test; it will need fixing again once virCommand learns how to shell-quote a potential command line.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
