[Qemu-devel] qemu 2.4 machine + kernel 4.2 + kvm : freeze & cpu 100% at start on some hardware (maybe KVM_CAP_X86_SMM related) |

Hi,
I'm currently implementing qemu 2.4 for proxmox hypervisors,
and a lot of users have reported qemu freeze with cpu at 100% when starting.
Connecting with vnc display : "qemu guest has not initialized the display yet"
Similar bug report here :
https://lacyc3.eu/qemu-guest-has-not-initialized-the-display
This does not occur on all hardware,
for example it freeze on dell powerege r710 (xeon E5540), but not on dell
r630 (CPU E5-2687W v3 @ 3.10GHz)
or very old dell poweredge 2950 (xeon 5110 @ 1.60GHz).
This is only with qemu 2.4 + kernel 4.2 (kernel 4.1 works fine) + kvm
not working command line
-------------------------
/usr/bin/kvm chardev
socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/100.qmp,server,nowait -mon
chardev=qmp,mode=control -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/100.vnc,x509,password
-pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/100.pid -name test -cpu kvm64 -m 4096 -machine
pc-i440fx-2.4
working command line
---------------------
qemu 2.4 + kvm + compat 2.3 profil:
/usr/bin/kvm chardev
socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/100.qmp,server,nowait -mon
chardev=qmp,mode=control -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/100.vnc,x509,password
-pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/100.pid -name test -cpu kvm64 -m 4096 -machine
pc-i440fx-2.3
qemu 2.4 without kvm:
/usr/bin/kvm chardev
socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/100.qmp,server,nowait -mon
chardev=qmp,mode=control -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/100.vnc,x509,password
-pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/100.pid -name test -cpu kvm64 -m 4096 -machine
accel=tcg,type=pc-i440fx-2.4
So it's working with qemu 2.4 + machine 2.3 compat profil.
Looking at the code:
static void pc_compat_2_3(MachineState *machine)
{
PCMachineState *pcms = PC_MACHINE(machine);
savevm_skip_section_footers();
if (kvm_enabled()) {
pcms->smm = ON_OFF_AUTO_OFF;
}
global_state_set_optional();
savevm_skip_configuration();
}
If I comment
//pcms->smm = ON_OFF_AUTO_OFF;
I have the same freeze too.
So,it's seem to come from somewhere in
bool pc_machine_is_smm_enabled(PCMachineState *pcms)
{
bool smm_available = false;
if (pcms->smm == ON_OFF_AUTO_OFF) {
return false;
}
if (tcg_enabled() || qtest_enabled()) {
smm_available = true;
} else if (kvm_enabled()) {
smm_available = kvm_has_smm(); >> maybe here ?
}
if (smm_available) {
return true;
}
if (pcms->smm == ON_OFF_AUTO_ON) {
error_report("System Management Mode not supported by this
hypervisor.");
exit(1);
}
return false;
}
bool kvm_has_smm(void)
{
return kvm_check_extension(kvm_state, KVM_CAP_X86_SMM);
}
I'm not sure if it's a qemu bug or kernel/kvm bug.
Help is welcome.
