This will enable support for 'dumpdtb' and 'info fdt' HMP commands for
all powernv machines.

Can pnv_reset() be called several times in the same instance of the qemu 
process, in which case we leak memory?

hmmm I think it's possible if we issue a 'system_reset' via the monitor.

I'll put a g_free(machine->fdt) before the assignment.

Right.  I'm not certain about pnv, but on most platforms there's a way
to trigger system_reset from the guest side as well.

I might have missed some emails but dumpdtb is already suppported :
commit 8d4092614161 ("ppc/pnv: activate the "dumpdtb" option on the
powernv machine")

Thanks,

ok. found the patchset "QMP/HMP: add 'dumpdtb' and 'info fdt' commands"

'info fdt' would have been of great help when we were developing the
PowerNV machine. Initially, I was even using pmemsave to extract the
FDT blob ... So this is a great idea ! (which needs a g_free() )

Do we have something similar to dump ACPI tables, btw ?

Thanks,
  
C.

In QEMU? No idea. I didn't find users of libfdt in x86 files so I didn't
bothered checking.

I am aware of something you can do in userland to dump the ACPI tables. I
did it once for research when I was working in the NUMA FORM2 extension
for pseries. This is the procedure do dump the ACPI SLIT table:

So basically a combination of acpidump and acpixtract commands in the guest.
