Title: KVM create a win7 guest with Qemu, it boots up fail Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Environment: ------------ Host OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e Guest OS (ia32/ia32e/IA64):ia32e Guest OS Type (Linux/Windows):Windows kvm.git Commit:94b3ffcd41a90d2cb0b32ca23aa58a01111d5dc0 qemu-kvm Commit:839a5547574e57cce62f49bfc50fe1f04b00589a Host Kernel Version:3.14.0-rc3 Hardware:Romley_EP, Ivytown_EP, HSW_EP Bug detailed description: -------------------------- when create a win7 guest, the guest boot up fail. note: 1. when create win2000, winxp, win2k3, win2k8, guest, the guest boot up fail. 2. when create win8, win8.1, win2012 guest, the guest boot up fine. Reproduce steps: ---------------- 1.create guest qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 -net none -hda /root/win7.qcow Current result: ---------------- win7 guest boot up fail Expected result: ---------------- win7 guest boot up fine Basic root-causing log: ---------------------- This should be a qemu bug kvm + qemu = result 94b3ffcd + 839a5547 = bad 94b3ffcd + 3a87f8b6 = good the first bad commit is: commit 9bcc80cd71892df42605e0c097d85c0237ff45d1 Author: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> Date: Mon Mar 17 17:05:16 2014 +0100 i386/acpi-build: allow more than 255 elements in CPON The build_ssdt() function builds a number of AML objects that are related to CPU hotplug, and whose IDs form a contiguous sequence of APIC IDs. (APIC IDs are in fact discontiguous, but this is the traditional interface: build a contiguous sequence from zero up that covers all possible APIC IDs.) These objects are: - a Processor() object for each VCPU, - a NTFY method, with one branch for each VCPU, - a CPON package with one element (hotplug status byte) for each VCPU. The build_ssdt() function currently limits the *count* of processor objects, and NTFY branches, and CPON elements, in 0xFF (see the assignment to "acpi_cpus"). This allows for an inclusive APIC ID range of [0..254]. This is incorrect, because the highest APIC ID that we otherwise allow a VCPU to take is 255. In order to extend the maximum count to 256, and the traversed APIC ID range correspondingly to [0..255]: - the Processor() objects need no change, - the NTFY method also needs no change, - the CPON package must be updated, because it is defined with a DefPackage, and the number of elements in such a package can be at most 255. We pick a DefVarPackage instead. We replace the Op byte, and the encoding of the number of elements. Compare: DefPackage := PackageOp PkgLength NumElements PackageElementList DefVarPackage := VarPackageOp PkgLength VarNumElements PackageElementList PackageOp := 0x12 VarPackageOp := 0x13 NumElements := ByteData VarNumElements := TermArg => Integer The build_append_int() function implements precisely the following TermArg encodings (a subset of what the ACPI spec describes): TermArg := DataObject DataObject := ComputationalData ComputationalData := ConstObj | ByteConst | WordConst | DWordConst directly encoded in the function, with build_append_byte(): ConstObj := ZeroOp | OneOp ZeroOp := 0x00 OneOp := 0x01 call to build_append_value(..., 1): ByteConst := BytePrefix ByteData BytePrefix := 0x0A ByteData := 0x00 - 0xFF call to build_append_value(..., 2): WordConst := WordPrefix WordData WordPrefix := 0x0B WordData := ByteData[0:7] ByteData[8:15] call to build_append_value(..., 4): DWordConst := DWordPrefix DWordData DWordPrefix := 0x0C DWordData := WordData[0:15] WordData[16:31] Signed-off-by: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.
