Okay, I need to classify this bug report as either user-mode or system-mode related. The issue is about virtualization not working in TCG mode on macOS when the virtualization=on option is set. When it's turned off, it works but just stops without any output.
So, first, what's the context here? QEMU is a machine emulator and virtualizer that can run virtual machines. TCG stands for Tiny Code Generator, which is part of QEMU used for emulation when hardware acceleration isn't available or enabled.
The problem occurs with virtualization=on. On macOS, I know that hypervisor services are managed by the system, requiring higher privileges. So if something isn't working there, it might be related to system-level permissions or device access.
Looking at the steps: running QEMU hangs when using TCG mode with virtualization enabled. That suggests an issue during the initialization or setup of the virtualized environment, which likely involves kernel or system services.
Virtualization in this context probably refers to enabling KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) or similar hypervisor features. On Linux, that requires root privileges. On macOS, it's handled by the Hypervisor.framework, also requiring elevated privileges.
So if the issue is with TCG mode not working when virtualization is enabled, it could be a problem with how QEMU interacts with the system's hypervisor services. This interaction would fall under system-mode because it involves kernel-level operations and device drivers.
If it were user-mode, maybe it would relate to application-specific issues without needing kernel access. But since virtualization on macOS requires deeper integration with the operating system's infrastructure, this points more towards a system-mode issue.
Therefore, I think this is a system-mode related bug report.
