Hi all, In a nested virtualization environment of qemu+KVM, some emulated CPU (such as core2duo) may cause L2 guest crash after booting for a while. Here's my configuration:
Host: Linux 3.5.7 Qemu is the latest version from git repository. Emulated CPU : core2duo L1 guest: Linux 3.5.7 Qemu is the latest version from git Emulated CPU : core2duo L2 guest: Crash at some specific point after running for sometime. Here's the callback trace: qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:26:b9:fa:fe:31 -net tap,vlan=0 -vnc :1 -hda vm1.1.img -m 512 -machine pc,accel=kvm -cpu core2duo -cdrom ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso TUNSETIFF: Device or resource busy qemu-system-x86_64: pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "efi-e1000.rom" KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x7 RAX=000000000000000f RBX=ffff88001f60c740 RCX=000000000000038f RDX=0000000000000007 RSI=000000000000000f RDI=000000000000038f RBP=ffff88001e6ffaf0 RSP=ffff88001e6ffaf0 R8 =000000070000000f R9 =0000000000000000 R10=0000000000000000 R11=0000000000000000 R12=0000000000000001 R13=0000000000000001 R14=0000000000000000 R15=ffff88001f617384 RIP=ffffffff8103fe1a RFL=00000002 [-------] CPL=0 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =0000 0000000000000000 000fffff 00000000 CS =0010 0000000000000000 ffffffff 00a09b00 DPL=0 CS64 [-RA] SS =0018 0000000000000000 ffffffff 00c09300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] DS =0000 0000000000000000 000fffff 00000000 FS =0000 0000000000000000 000fffff 00000000 GS =0000 ffff88001f600000 000fffff 00000000 LDT=0000 0000000000000000 000fffff 00000000 TR =0040 ffff88001f611580 00002087 00008b00 DPL=0 TSS64-busy GDT= ffff88001f604000 0000007f IDT= ffffffff81dd6000 00000fff CR0=8005003b CR2=00000000ffffffff CR3=0000000001c0b000 CR4=000007f0 DR0=0000000000000000 DR1=0000000000000000 DR2=0000000000000000 DR3=0000000000000000 DR6=00000000ffff0ff0 DR7=0000000000000400 EFER=0000000000000d01 Code=20 89 f9 48 09 c8 5d c3 66 90 55 89 f0 89 f9 48 89 e5 0f 30 <31> c0 5d c3 66 90 55 89 f9 48 89 e5 0f 33 89 c7 48 89 d0 48 c1 e0 20 89 f9 48 09 c8 5d c3 This bug also appears in Westmere, SandyBridge and Haswell. But Nehalem, Penryn and Conroe runs OK. Is this problem really a bug or some mistakes in configuration?
