Hi, all: Recently I use a shell script to continuously reset a vm to see what may happen. After one day, the vm is stuck. Looking from the following seabios log and kvm trace log, it seems like losing a SMI or SeaBIOS can not handle a SMI. This problem is reproducible on my machine (SeaBIOS 1.9.1, Qemu 2.6.0, Kmod 4.4.11). ==================my shell script=== #!/bin/bash while((1)) do virsh reset VMNAME sleep 1 done ==================kvm trace log=== CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] d... 1025056.813494: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813495: kvm_exit: reason IO_INSTRUCTION rip 0xef10e info b30048 0 CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813495: kvm_emulate_insn: 0:ef10e:e4 b3 (prot32) CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813496: kvm_userspace_exit: reason KVM_EXIT_IO (2) CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813496: kvm_fpu: unload CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813497: kvm_pio: pio_read at 0xb3 size 1 count 1 val 0x1 CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813497: kvm_fpu: load CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] d... 1025056.813497: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813498: kvm_exit: reason IO_INSTRUCTION rip 0xef10e info b30048 0 CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813498: kvm_emulate_insn: 0:ef10e:e4 b3 (prot32) CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813499: kvm_userspace_exit: reason KVM_EXIT_IO (2) CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813499: kvm_fpu: unload CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813500: kvm_pio: pio_read at 0xb3 size 1 count 1 val 0x1 CPU 0/KVM-13843 [020] .... 1025056.813500: kvm_fpu: load ==================my seabios log=== --- a/roms/seabios/src/fw/smm.c +++ b/roms/seabios/src/fw/smm.c @@ -65,7 +65,8 @@ handle_smi(u16 cs) u8 cmd = inb(PORT_SMI_CMD); struct smm_layout *smm = MAKE_FLATPTR(cs, 0); u32 rev = smm->cpu.i32.smm_rev & SMM_REV_MASK; - dprintf(DEBUG_HDL_smi, "handle_smi cmd=%x smbase=%p\n", cmd, smm); + if(cmd == 0x00) { + dprintf(1, "handle_smi cmd=%x smbase=%p\n", cmd, smm); + } if (smm == (void*)BUILD_SMM_INIT_ADDR) { // relocate SMBASE to 0xa0000 @@ -147,14 +148,14 @@ smm_relocate_and_restore(void) { /* init APM status port */ outb(0x01, PORT_SMI_STATUS); + dprintf(1,"before SMI====\n"); /* raise an SMI interrupt */ outb(0x00, PORT_SMI_CMD); + dprintf(1,"after SMI=====\n"); /* wait until SMM code executed */ while (inb(PORT_SMI_STATUS) != 0x00) ; + dprintf(1,"smm code executes complete====\n"); And the log output like this: 2016-08-03 16:23:15PCI: Using 00:02.0 for primary VGA 2016-08-03 16:23:15smm_device_setup start 2016-08-03 16:23:15init smm 2016-08-03 16:23:15before SMI==== 2016-08-03 16:23:15after SMI===== <----always stuck here, unless i destroy it As above, it is obviously that if bios doesn't handle_smi, PORT_SMI_STATUS is always 0x01. smm_relocate_and_restore() will always in the while loop. Why does bios handle_smi at this point, is this a kvm bug? or SeaBIOS bug? -------------- Xulei (Stone)?韬{.n?????%??檩??w?{.n??ぞo??n?■???h?璀?{?夸z罐?+€?zf"?????i?????_璁?:+v??撸?
