The problem is not really with the log messages: they are
consequence of
the bug I try to fix.
What happens is once kvm_pr decodes an invalid instruction all the
valid
following instructions trigger a Program exception to the guest
(but are
executed correctly). It has no real consequence on big machine like
POWER8, except that the guest become very slow and the log files of
the
host are filled with messages (and qemu uses 100% of the CPU). On a
smaller machine like a PowerMac G5, the machine becomes simply
unusable.

Ok, so the log messages are the problem. Please fix the message
output
then - or remove it altogether. Or if you like, create a module
parameter that allows you to emit them.
I personally think the best solution would be to just convert the
message into a trace point.
While at it, please see whether the guest can trigger similar host
log
output excess in other code paths.

No, the problem is the host kernel logs are filled by the message
and
the execution hangs. And the host becomes unresponsiveness, even
after
the end of the tests.
Please, try to run kvm-unit-tests (the emulator test) on a KVM-PR
host,
and check the kernel logs (dmesg), then try to ssh to the host...

But isn't that exactly what the semantic of EMULATE_FAIL is?
Fixing it
up in book3s_emulate.c is definitely the wrong spot.
So what is the problem you're trying to solve? Is the SRR0 at the
wrong
spot or are the log messages the problem?

It's probably more related to your verbosity level of kernel messages.
If you pass loglevel=0 (or quiet) to you kernel cmdline you won't get
the messages printed to serial which is what's slowing you down.
The other problem sounds pretty severe, but the only thing your patch
does any different from the current code flow would be the patch below.

But isn't that exactly what the semantic of EMULATE_FAIL is? Fixing it
up in book3s_emulate.c is definitely the wrong spot.
So what is the problem you're trying to solve? Is the SRR0 at the
wrong
spot or are the log messages the problem?
No, the problem is the host kernel logs are filled by the message and
the execution hangs. And the host becomes unresponsiveness, even after
the end of the tests.
Please, try to run kvm-unit-tests (the emulator test) on a KVM-PR host,
and check the kernel logs (dmesg), then try to ssh to the host...
Ok, so the log messages are the problem. Please fix the message output
then - or remove it altogether. Or if you like, create a module
parameter that allows you to emit them.
I personally think the best solution would be to just convert the
message into a trace point.
While at it, please see whether the guest can trigger similar host log
output excess in other code paths.
The problem is not really with the log messages: they are consequence of
the bug I try to fix.
What happens is once kvm_pr decodes an invalid instruction all the valid
following instructions trigger a Program exception to the guest (but are
executed correctly). It has no real consequence on big machine like
POWER8, except that the guest become very slow and the log files of the
host are filled with messages (and qemu uses 100% of the CPU). On a
smaller machine like a PowerMac G5, the machine becomes simply unusable.
It's probably more related to your verbosity level of kernel messages.
If you pass loglevel=0 (or quiet) to you kernel cmdline you won't get
the messages printed to serial which is what's slowing you down.
The other problem sounds pretty severe, but the only thing your patch
does any different from the current code flow would be the patch below.
Or did I miss anything?

No, the problem is the host kernel logs are filled by the message and
the execution hangs. And the host becomes unresponsiveness, even after
the end of the tests.
Please, try to run kvm-unit-tests (the emulator test) on a KVM-PR host,
and check the kernel logs (dmesg), then try to ssh to the host...

But isn't that exactly what the semantic of EMULATE_FAIL is? Fixing it

So what is the problem you're trying to solve? Is the SRR0 at the wrong
spot or are the log messages the problem?

Ping!
Alex, Paul, could you please pick up this patch? This patch is required
to get the kvm-unit-tests working properly with kvm-pr, so I'd be glad
if we could get this included finally...

Re: [PATCH] kvm-pr: manage illegal instructions
Hi,
as Paolo has merged the test into kvm-unit-tests, this patch (and
original bug) can be now tested with it.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git
at least:
be9b007 powerpc: add test to check invalid instruction trap
Run this with KVM-PR and check your dmesg:
qemu-system-ppc64 -machine pseries,accel=kvm \
-bios powerpc/boot_rom.bin \
-display none -serial stdio \
-kernel powerpc/emulator.elf -smp 1

[PATCH] kvm-pr: manage illegal instructions
While writing some instruction tests for kvm-unit-tests for powerpc,
I've found that illegal instructions are not managed correctly with kvm-pr,
while it is fine with kvm-hv.
When an illegal instruction (like ".long 0") is processed by kvm-pr,
the kernel logs are filled with:
Couldn't emulate instruction 0x (op 0 xop 0)
kvmppc_handle_exit_pr: emulation at 700 failed ()
While the exception handler receives an interrupt for each instruction
executed after the illegal instruction.
