Hi Skipper, thanks for sharing the qemu cmdline, there is nothing odd in this and I can run a system like that (not a win 10 guest) just fine.
What about the per thread stats I asked, which threads are busy and where do they consume time? Depending on your experience you could even check "perf kvm stat" and such to see which exists you trigger (unless it is mostly in guest anyway). @Kernel Team - have you had similar reports? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767857 Title: Kernel 4.4.0-122 Breaks qemu-system-x86 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Fully updated xubuntu 16.04 running kernel 4.4.0-122 breaks qemu- system-x86: black screen displays and qemu-system-x86 runs at 100% cpu indefinitely.
