Wei sent a patch upstream that changes the useless "1.0" version string to mc->name, like upstream x86 machine types have. That will result in, e.g.
System Information
Manufacturer: QEMU
Product Name: KVM Virtual Machine
Version: virt-2.10
Serial Number: Not Specified
UUID: B901BA96-3A85-45EF-9724-03FBA645119D
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
SKU Number: Not Specified
Family: Not Specified
which is correct, so the expected results in comment 0 are not correct, regarding upstream. The expected results aren't correct regarding downstream either, though. Downstream we should have, e.g.
System Information
Manufacturer: Red Hat
Product Name: KVM
Version: RHEL 7.4.0 ARM Virtual Machine
Serial Number: Not Specified
UUID: 69198DFF-E2C5-47AB-8071-E657EEF4D779
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
SKU Number: Not Specified
Family: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
We still need a downstream patch to fix that. We can use this BZ for it.
Notice, IMO, that the (default) and (alias of ...) stuff should not be there. If it is there, then we should fix it (upstream and downstream) too.

Description of problem: The `dmidecode -t 1` on x86_64 includes the machine type, but on arm it only says "1.0". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-kvm-2.9.0-21.el7a.aarch64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run guest with "-machine virt" 2. in the guest run "dmidecode -t 1" Actual results: avocado.test: [stdout] # dmidecode 3.0 avocado.test: [stdout] Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. avocado.test: [stdout] SMBIOS 3.0.0 present. avocado.test: [stdout] avocado.test: [stdout] Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes avocado.test: [stdout] System Information avocado.test: [stdout] Manufacturer: QEMU avocado.test: [stdout] Product Name: KVM Virtual Machine avocado.test: [stdout] Version: 1.0 avocado.test: [stdout] Serial Number: Not Specified avocado.test: [stdout] UUID: Not Settable avocado.test: [stdout] Wake-up Type: Power Switch avocado.test: [stdout] SKU Number: Not Specified avocado.test: [stdout] Family: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Expected results: avocado.test: [stdout] # dmidecode 3.0 avocado.test: [stdout] Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. avocado.test: [stdout] SMBIOS 3.0.0 present. avocado.test: [stdout] avocado.test: [stdout] Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes avocado.test: [stdout] System Information avocado.test: [stdout] Manufacturer: QEMU avocado.test: [stdout] Product Name: KVM Virtual Machine avocado.test: [stdout] Version: RHEL 7.4.0 ARM Virtual Machine (default) avocado.test: [stdout] Serial Number: Not Specified avocado.test: [stdout] UUID: Not Settable avocado.test: [stdout] Wake-up Type: Power Switch avocado.test: [stdout] SKU Number: Not Specified avocado.test: [stdout] Family: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Additional info: Basically for "-machine virt" using the same logic as on x86_64 it should output: Version: RHEL 7.4.0 ARM Virtual Machine (default) and with "-machine virt-rhel7.4.0" Version: RHEL 7.4.0 ARM Virtual Machine (alias of virt-rhel7.4.0) This is based on `smbios_table.machine_type` avocado-vt test results.
