error_report() is more appropriate for error situations. Replace fprintf with error_report() and error_printf() as appropriate. Some improvement in error reporting also happens as a part of this change. For example: From: $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 --accel kvm Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory To: $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 --accel kvm qemu-system-x86_64: --accel kvm: Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory CC: qemu-trivial@xxxxxxxxxx CC: zhao1.liu@xxxxxxxxx CC: armbru@xxxxxxxxxx Reviewed-by: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ani Sinha <anisinha@xxxxxxxxxx> --- accel/kvm/kvm-all.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) changelog: v2: fix a bug. v3: replace one instance of error_report() with error_printf(). added tags. v4: changes suggested by Markus. v5: more changes from Markus's comments on v4. v6: commit message update as per suggestion from Markus.
