qemu-io puts the TTY into non-canonical mode, which means no EOF processing is
done and thus getchar() will never return the EOF constant. Instead we have to
check for an explicit Ctrl-D, aka 0x4, to detect EOF and exit the qemu-io
shell. This fixes the regression that prevented Ctrl-D from triggering an exit
of qemu-io that has existed since readline was first added in

Should we instead be looking for a match against the current termios()
c_cc[VEOF] setting, in case the user prefers something other than ^D via
stty? Does readline provide any functionality for automating this?

I was afraid someone was going to suggest doing that. I was being lazy by
hardcoding Ctrl-D, but yes the real readline() library will honour the
VEOF value. QEMU though is using a home-grown reimpl of readline...

I understand why we can't use modern libreadline (it is licensed GPLv3+, making it impossible to use with our GPLv2-only code) - but doesn't BSD have a readline-alike library with BSD licensing that we could use instead of implementing readline ourselves?

(Was it named libinput?) We've discussed this before. Short story: we can't use the original due to our foolish licensing mistake, and the clones don't cut the mustard.

Personally I'd have made that EOF or 0x4 - but that's fine
(I don't see the point of reading the ioctl to figure out which EOF
char we're using; it seems to turn a trivial check into something much
more complex)

I thought about that, but it is impossible to get 'EOF' when the terminal
is in raw mode, so there's little point.

I'd already done the work to read termios settings by time I read this
comment, so I've sent a v2 anyway :-)
