[kvm-devel] Problems with vmwarevga and graphical syslinux menus
The changes so that the vmwarevga code respects the E820 region runs afoul of the fact that the VBE bios used has a hard-coded base address for vesa modes. Thus when syslinux uses VBE to do its graphical bits, the lfb address doesn't match what the bios thinks it is :-/ Test case is any Fedora boot.iso or live CD from the past year or so.

Re: [kvm-devel] How to handle kvm-abi-10 case for other archs.

Actually we can probably remove abi 10 support since the F7 kernel now supports the modern ABI (I don't think anybody else uses abi 10, which is pre 2.6.22 when we announced ABI compatibility.

Re: [kvm-devel] [PATCH] Add support for a basic boot menu to the bios
On Sun, 2007-09-16 at 22:00 +0200, Avi Kivity wrote:
The attached patch adds support for a relatively basic boot device
selection menu to the bochs bios code.
[snip]
This is nice! Two comments:
- it would be nice for qemu to provide the bios an indication if the
'-boot' parameter was specified to qemu. if so, the bios should skip
the menu on first bootup, reducing the boot delay. On subsequent boots
the menu should be offered. This is primarily useful in managed
environments.
While this could be nice, at the same time, -boot is going to be getting
passed for a long time, even when it's no longer needed, just due to
people not updating their tools. So I almost think it's better to take
the 3 second hit since it's going to be there every other time. We
could tweak it to be a little bit less, but 3 seems in line with what
other BIOSes seem to do.
- coding this stuff in rombios32.c instead of rombios.c (with its
strange idea of C) is *much* preferable for maintainability. As far as
i can tell, there is no reason not to do so, especially for code which
is not called from the 16-bit OS.
The code is called from the 16-bit OS, though. It needs to be done
after rom scanning has been done so that we can show network or not as
appropriate. And unless I'm missing something, calling into rombios32.c
outside of rombios32_init() is going to add just as much
hard-to-maintain code.
Updated patch against kvm git attached that actually works with kvm.
Also ends up being a little bit simpler because we're doing less mucking
around with the timer.

Looks like -hardware_enable() was not called for some reason.
Sprinkling printks in the cpu hotplug and resume callbacks will help.
Multiple things failing here together.
1) With the versioning of Fedora kernels, things were falling back to
the compat version of smp_call_function_single which then doesn't seem
to work properly (-hardware_disable() and -hardware_enable() never get
called AFAICT)
2) Switching to use the real smp_call_function_single, I get an oops on
suspend since we're trying to run code on the dead cpu. Attached patch
makes it so that we do -hardware_enable() and -hardware_disable() when
the cpu is in a functioning state. With it, I can suspend/resume
successfully with no guests running. With a guest running, it's a bit
of a toss-up. But one step at a time :)

Since those MSRs aren't supported on the Intel host, the virtual machine is halted. The attached patch makes it so that we check the actual cpu type of the host and then provide the same cpu type for the virtual machine. Windows crashes immediately with this patch (STOP: 0x7E (0xc005 0xF724879C 0xF7A168DC 0xF7A165D8) for those who know how to decode BSODs), so either it's doing too much or not enough. 32 or 64 bit and what are you running for the host? There's definitely more that _could_ be mirrored. Note that we support migration from Intel to AMD and vice versa, so it would be good to supply a command line parameter to set the cpuid (to a least common denominator CPU). The problem is that with current CPUs, I don't know that there really is a least common denominator anymore. Both Intel and AMD have their own implementation of a number of things which aren't core bits -- performance counters, things to handle microcode updates, etc. :-/ Are there any docs for the current state of migration? Depending on how it's done, this may not at least make things any worse for the migration case since we're only changing things at CPU startup, not runtime calls to cpuid. Jeremy - Take Surveys.

[kvm-devel] [PATCH] Match virtual machine processor vendor to that of the host
Currently, kvm ends up just using the standard qemu cpu initialization.
This means that all x86_64 virtual machines appear to have an
AuthenticAMD (AMD64) processor. This ends up causing a problem when
booting some x86_64 Linux kernels as they attempt to do AMD64 specific
initialization for things like performance counters. Since those MSRs
aren't supported on the Intel host, the virtual machine is halted.
The attached patch makes it so that we check the actual cpu type of the
host and then provide the same cpu type for the virtual machine.
