kvmhv_switch_to_host() in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S needs
to set kvmppc_vcore->in_guest to 0 to signal secondary CPUs to continue.
This happens after resetting the PCR. Before commit 13c7bb3c57dc
("powerpc/64s: Set reserved PCR bits"), r0 would always be 0 before it
was stored to kvmppc_vcore->in_guest. However because of this change in
the commit:
/* Reset PCR */
ld r0, VCORE_PCR(r5)
- cmpdi r0, 0
+ LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r6, PCR_MASK)
+ cmpld r0, r6
beq 18f
- li r0, 0
- mtspr SPRN_PCR, r0
+ mtspr SPRN_PCR, r6
18:
/* Signal secondary CPUs to continue */
stb r0,VCORE_IN_GUEST(r5)
We are no longer comparing r0 against 0 and loading it with 0 if it
contains something else. Hence when we store r0 to
kvmppc_vcore->in_guest, it might not be 0. This means that secondary
CPUs will not be signalled to continue. Those CPUs get stuck and errors
like the following are logged:
KVM: CPU 1 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 2 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 3 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 4 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 5 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 6 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 7 seems to be stuck
This can be reproduced with:
$ for i in `seq 1 7` ; do chcpu -d $i ; done ;
$ taskset -c 0 qemu-system-ppc64 -smp 8,threads=8 \
-M pseries,accel=kvm,kvm-type=HV -m 1G -nographic -vga none \
-kernel vmlinux -initrd initrd.cpio.xz
Fix by making sure r0 is 0 before storing it to kvmppc_vcore->in_guest.
