From: David Gibson <da...@gibson.dropbear.id.au> If a guest passes the reg property of a valid VIO object that is not a VTY to either H_GET_TERM_CHAR or H_PUT_TERM_CHAR, QEMU hits a dynamic cast assertion and aborts.
PAPR+ says "Hypervisor checks the termno parameter for validity against the Vterm IOA unit addresses assigned to the partition, else return H_Parameter." This patch adds a type check to ensure vty_lookup() either returns a pointer to a valid VTY object or NULL. H_GET_TERM_CHAR and H_PUT_TERM_CHAR will now return H_PARAMETER to the guest instead of crashing. The patch has no effect on the reg == 0 hack used to implement the RTAS call display-character.
