I upgraded libvirt to version 4.4.0 and it looks like this behavior is still there. It still changes the cpu options after migration. What I do notice is that a "virsh dumpxml" shows me the following after starting a new VM:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'> <model fallback='forbid'>Westmere</model> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> <feature policy='require' name='vme'/> <feature policy='require' name='pclmuldq'/> <feature policy='require' name='x2apic'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='require' name='arat'/> </cpu> I get this "virsh dumpxml" results on libvirt 4.0.0 and 4.4.0. I don't see the same output when I do a "virsh edit" before starting the VM: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'> <model fallback='allow'>Westmere</model> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> </cpu> For some reason libvirt adds those options to the running config while starting a VM, and during a migration it will add the same cpu options to the migrated VM. This explains at least why those options appear in the command line after migration, but why does libvirt adds those options when a VM starts in the first place? How can I debug this behavior? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1775555 Title: guest migration 100% cpu freeze bug Status in QEMU: New Bug description: # Investigate migration cpu hog(100%) bug I have some issues when migrating from qemu 2.6.2 to qemu 2.11.1. The hypervisors are running kernel 4.9.92 on debian stretch with libvirt v4.0.0. Linux, libvirt and qemu are all custom compiled. I migrated around 21.000 vms from qemu 2.6.2 to qemu 2.11.1 and every once in a while a vm is stuck at 100% cpu after the migration from 2.6.2 to 2.11.1. This happend with about 50-60 vms so far. I attached gdb to a vcpu thread of one stuck vm, and a bt showed the following info: #0 0x00007f4f19949dd7 in ioctl () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84 #1 0x0000557c9edede47 in kvm_vcpu_ioctl (cpu=cpu@entry=0x557ca1058840, type=type@entry=0xae80) at /home/dbosschieter/src/qemu-pkg/src/accel/kvm/kvm-all.c:2050 #2 0x0000557c9ededfb6 in kvm_cpu_exec (cpu=cpu@entry=0x557ca1058840) at /home/dbosschieter/src/qemu-pkg/src/accel/kvm/kvm-all.c:1887 #3 0x0000557c9edcab44 in qemu_kvm_cpu_thread_fn (arg=0x557ca1058840) at /home/dbosschieter/src/qemu-pkg/src/cpus.c:1128 #4 0x00007f4f19c0f494 in start_thread (arg=0x7f4f053f3700) at pthread_create.c:333 #5 0x00007f4f19951acf in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:97 The ioctl call is a ioctl(18, KVM_RUN and it looks like it is looping inside the vm itself. I saved the state of the VM (with `virsh save`) after I found it was hanging on its vcpu threads. Then I restored this vm on a test environment running the same kernel, QEMU and libvirt version). After the restore the VM still was haning at 100% cpu usage on all the vcpus. I tried to use the perf kvm guest option to trace the guest vm with a copy of the kernel, modules and kallsyms files from inside the guest vm and I got the following trace: $ perf kvm --guest --guestkallsyms=kallsyms --guestmodules=modules record -g -p 14471 -o perf.data $ perf kvm --guest --guestkallsyms=kallsyms --guestmodules=modules report -i perf.data --stdio > analyze # To display

The other vms were running centos 6, centos 7, debian 7, debian 8, ubuntu 13.10, ubuntu 14.04, ubuntu 12.04 the majority of these vms are running linux kernel 3.*. The thing is I am actually out of ideas for reproducing this, and I am not sure how to pinpoint this issue, I would like some help and possible some extra tips on debugging.
