The sabrelite machine model used by qemu-system-arm is based on the Freescale/NXP i.MX6Q processor. This SoC has an on-board ethernet controller which is supported in QEMU using the imx_fec.c module (actually called imx.enet for this model.)
The include/hw/arm/fsm-imx6.h file defines the interrupt vectors for the imx.enet device like this: #define FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_1588_IRQ 118 #define FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_IRQ 119 According to https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/IMX6DQRM.pdf, page 225, in Table 3-1. ARM Cortex A9 domain interrupt summary, interrupts are as follows. 150 ENET MAC 0 IRQ 151 ENET MAC 0 1588 Timer interrupt where 150 - 32 == 118 151 - 32 == 119 In other words, the vector definitions in the fsl-imx6.h file are reversed. This results in lost interrupt warnings when running recent (v4.15+) Linux kernels, and the Ethernet interface will fail to probe. Note that applying this patch will cause problems with older Linux kernels: The Ethernet interface will fail to probe with Linux v4.9 and earlier. Linux v4.1 and earlier will crash. This is a Linux kernel problem, not a qemu problem: the Linux kernel only worked by accident since it requested both interrupts.
