Public bug reported:
Currently when using linux-kvm (4.4.0-1013 or 4.4.0-1015), if the
virtual machine is configured to copy the host CPU configuration,
`update-grub` freezes and never completes (that's also true when
installing a new kernel).
These are the guest CPU flags (from /proc/cpuinfo) when copying the host
CPU configuration:
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx pdpe1gb
rdtscp lm constant_tsc rep_good nopl pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 fma cx16
pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes avx f16c
rdrand hypervisor lahf_lm abm invpcid_single tpr_shadow vnmi
flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase bmi1 avx2 smep bmi2 erms invpcid arat
.. And when using the Hypervisor defaults (that's the scenario where the
issue does not happen):
flags : fpu de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx lm rep_good nopl pni vmx
cx16 x2apic hypervisor lahf_lm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid
Also, when copying the host CPU configuration, the following stack trace
is shown during boot:
