=== Verification ===
1. Start qemu using the proposed package:
$ sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -machine none -S -nographic -monitor stdio -serial
null
QEMU 3.1.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) info version
3.1.0Debian 1:3.1+dfsg-2ubuntu3.7~cloud1
2. Run "apt install --reinstall" so the prerm scripts copy the modules from
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/ to /var/run/qemu/$VERSION
$ md5sum /var/run/qemu/Debian_1_3.1+dfsg-2ubuntu3.7~cloud1/block-curl.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/block-curl.so
9424706c3ea3f1b3845fd3defbf6879c
/var/run/qemu/Debian_1_3.1+dfsg-2ubuntu3.7~cloud1/block-curl.so
9424706c3ea3f1b3845fd3defbf6879c /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/block-curl.so
3. Remove the module from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/
$ sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/block-curl.so
$ ll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/block-curl.so
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/block-curl.so': No such file
or directory
4. Add a curl device so it pulls the module
(qemu) drive_add 0
readonly=on,file=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
OK
5. Confirm it's falling back to /var/run/qemu/$VERSION when
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/ does not work
$ pidof qemu-system-x86_64; sudo cat /proc/$(pidof qemu-system-x86_64)/maps |
grep -e curl

/run/qemu/Debian_1_3.1+dfsg-2ubuntu3.7~cloud1/block-curl.so
** Note: if /run is mounted as noexec, step 4 will fail with the following
message:
(qemu) drive_add 0
readonly=on,file=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
Failed to initialize module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qemu/block-curl.so
Note: only modules from the same build can be loaded.
Failed to open module:
/var/run/qemu/_Debian_1_2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.25_/block-curl.so: failed to map
segment from shared object
Unknown protocol 'http'
This affects all fixed releases (B/E+), and the workaround is to remount
the /run fs without noexec (sudo mount -o remount,exec /run)
