Title:
  qemu-system-x86_64 crashes inside nested VM

Status in GLibC:
  Confirmed
Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Systemd package has autopkgtests
  the upstream-2 test cases use upstream systemd testsuite, i.e. make -C str/test/TEST-70-TPM2 setup run
  it launches a nested VM to do quick tests inside it.

  It appears that qemu-system-x86_64 crashes in such cases:

  TEST-70-TPM2 RUN: cryptenroll/cryptsetup with TPM2 devices
  + timeout --foreground 1800 /bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 4 -net none -m 1024M -nographic -vga none -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-6.2.0-1003-lowlatency -drive format=raw,cache=unsafe,file=/var/tmp/systemd-test.G2RH6i/tpm2.img -device virtio-rng-pci,max-bytes=1024,period=1000 -chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/tmp/tmp.cRBa43SrLC/sock -tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 -initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.2.0-1003-lowlatency -append 'root=LABEL=systemd_boot rw raid=noautodetect rd.luks=0 loglevel=2 init=/lib/systemd/systemd console=ttyS0 SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH=/usr/lib/systemd/tests/testdata/testsuite-70.units:/usr/lib/systemd/tests/testdata/units: systemd.unit=testsuite.target systemd.wants=testsuite-70.service oops=panic panic=1 softlockup_panic=1 systemd.wants=end.service'
  qemu-system-x86_64: ../../util/cacheflush.c:208: init_cache_info: Assertion `(isize & (isize - 1)) == 0' failed.
  timeout: the monitored command dumped core
  ..//test-functions: line 377: 152120 Aborted                 ( set -x; "${qemu_cmd[@]}" "${qemu_options[@]}" -append "${kernel_params[*]}" )
  E: qemu failed with exit code 134

  The important bit seems to be:

  qemu-system-x86_64: ../../util/cacheflush.c:208: init_cache_info:
  Assertion `(isize & (isize - 1)) == 0' failed.

  Which is an assert inside qemu source code.

  Is the systemd test suite VM setup doing something wrong, or is there
  something wrong in qemu?
