querying smbios type=1 UUID in Windows not possible when using SMBIOS 64 bit entry
## Host environment - Operating system: Proxmox VE 8 (but using upstream build of QEMU) - OS/kernel version: Linux pve8a1 6.5.11-5-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.5.11-5 (2023-11-27T19:52Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux - Architecture: x86 - QEMU flavor: qemu-system-x86_64 - QEMU version: QEMU emulator version 8.1.0 (v8.1.0) - QEMU command line: <!-- Give the smallest, complete command line that exhibits the problem. If you are using libvirt, virsh, or vmm, you can likely find the QEMU command line arguments in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log. --> ``` ./qemu-system-x86_64 \ -accel 'kvm' \ -chardev 'socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/126.qmp,server=on,wait=off' \ -mon 'chardev=qmp,mode=control' \ -chardev 'socket,id=qmp-event,path=/var/run/qmeventd.sock,reconnect=5' \ -mon 'chardev=qmp-event,mode=control' \ -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/126.pid \ -smbios 'type=1,uuid=aad890cd-55b7-4e60-b51b-504f6e6ad5ba' \ -smp '4,sockets=1,cores=4,maxcpus=4' \ -vnc 'unix:/var/run/qemu-server/126.vnc,password=on' \ -m 4096 \ -nodefaults \ -device 'pci-bridge,id=pci.1,chassis_nr=1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1e' \ -device 'pci-bridge,id=pci.2,chassis_nr=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1f' \ -device 'pci-bridge,id=pci.3,chassis_nr=3,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5' \ -device 'VGA,id=vga,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2,edid=off' \ -device 'virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtioscsi0,bus=pci.3,addr=0x1' \ -drive 'file=/var/lib/vz/images/126/vm-126-disk-0.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0,format=qcow2' \ -device 'scsi-hd,bus=virtioscsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0,id=scsi0,bootindex=100' \ -machine 'pc-i440fx-8.1' ``` ## Emulated/Virtualized environment - Operating system: Windows Server 2022 (also affects Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10) - OS/kernel version: Build 20348.fe_release.210507-1500 - Architecture: x86 ## Description of problem Querying the UUID in Powershell with `get-wmiobject win32_computersystemproduct | Select-Object -expandProperty UUID` will return no value. When using `-machine 'pc-i440fx-8.1,smbios-entry-point-type=32'` or `-machine 'pc-i440fx-8.0'` the command works as expected. When using `-machine 'pc-i440fx-8.0,smbios-entry-point-type=64'` the issue is also present. Commit bf376f3020dfd7bcb2c4158b4ffa85c04d44f56d changed the default for machine version 8.1, so that explains that part. It's not clear to me if this is a bug in QEMU or a bug/limitation of the guest OS when 64 bit entry is used by SMBIOS. ## Additional information Originally reported for Windows 10 in the Proxmox VE community forum (AFAIK the downstream build in Proxmox VE does not patch the relevant code paths): https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/136942/ <!-- The line below ensures that proper tags are added to the issue.
