Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: David A. Madore (davidamadore) Assigned to: Izik Eidus (izike) Summary: Freedos HIMEM.EXE hangs kvm-14 qemu on Intel CPU Initial Comment: Host system summary: Intel CPU (Pentium D 3.40GHz) running Linux 2.6.20.1 in 64-bit (x86_64) mode, using KVM module and QEMU from kvm-14 release. Otherwise generally using the Debian Etch distribution. Try to launch Freedos installation using "-hda harddrive.img -cdrom fdbasecd.iso -boot d -m 64 -localtime", where fdbasecd.iso is Freedos 1.0's base install CD from <URL: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/ > (and harddrive.img is an 80MB file full of zeros, but this is unimportant). Using bochsbios-2.3-2 and vgabios-0.6a-1 (both packaged by Debian). Symptom: virtual machine boots, but qemu stops soon after entering Freedos installer (as soon as "install to hard drive" is chosen, or something). "Stopped" means that the window title bar is updated to add "[stopped]" after QEMU title, and the virtual machine no longer runs (on host system, the QEMU process is in T state, using 0% CPU). The QEMU monitor is still accessible, but "cont" has no effect. "info registers" does not seem to show anything strange. The same QEMU running with -no-kvm works fine, so it's more likely a KVM or KVM-QEMU interface issue, not with QEMU. The same QEMU+KVM boots a Knoppix 5.0 CD without problem, so it's not like a complete failure to run anything. Using kvm-12 instead of kvm-14 gives a QEMU segfault at the same point (rather than just going in "stopped" mode). Reported on freenode's #irc channel on 2007-02-22 15:40+0100. Someone confirmed having the same problem on a 32-bit kernel+userland with FC6 (so it's not x86_64-specific, nor Debian-specific), but also with an Intel CPU. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Brian Jackson (iggy_cav) Date: 2010-06-03 10:25 Message: closing as requested ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jes Sorensen (jessorensen) Date: 2010-06-03 10:21 Message: I tested this against upstream qemu and qemu-kvm git, and in both cases I was able to run the installer, so I think this issue has been resolved in upstream. I have asked iggy to close this bug, but if it reappears, please open a new bug for it in launchpad. Cheers, Jes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Avi Kivity (avik) Date: 2007-12-03 03:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=539971 Originator: NO The IDT is probably correct, but perhaps we're failing some of the checks during interupt injection (see Intel documentation for the INT instruction, for example, we may be failing "IF gate descriptor DPL < CPL then #GP(vector number * 8). I suggest adding printks() when injecting interrupts, and examining the gate descriptor and comparing it against the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neo Jia (chenghuan_jia) Date: 2007-12-03 01:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=446034 Originator: NO So you think we make an incorrect handling for the IDT before the freedos uses a hardware task switch? Could you give me any hints/suggestions about debugging the IRQ injection? Thanks, Neo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Avi Kivity (avik) Date: 2007-12-02 04:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=539971 Originator: NO Looks like the the processor switched to protected mode and back between the last two dumps (see changes in idt, gdt). Perhaps it is trying to inject an irq and failing? Maybe idt handling is incorrect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neo Jia (chenghuan_jia) Date: 2007-12-02 02:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=446034 Originator: NO I think the instruction caused the problem should be the "call" instruction. But I cannot see why it causes the task switch after reading Intel manuals. The instruction should be 16 bit or 32 bit? If 32-bit, the instruction will be "call 0x0EFF3B8". But the NT bit of EFLAGS is not set... Any comments? Thanks, Neo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neo Jia (chenghuan_jia) Date: 2007-12-01 03:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=446034 Originator: NO Avi, I put the kvm_show_regs() function after every kvm_run in qemu/qemu-kvm.c. The followings are the outputs of the last few kvm_show_regs() function. I am wondering why the last two are different. And I have decoded the RIP in the qemu. So the instruction should be rax 0000000000001192 rbx 00000000c53999a4 rcx 0000000000000000 rdx 0000000000000 403 rsi 000000007fff9eff rdi 000000009c35b000 rsp 0000000000007ba6 rbp 0000000000000 280

You can do that by printing the code in cs:rip when handle_exit() encounters exit reason 9. Once the instruction is known we need to emulate it according to the manual. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neo Jia (chenghuan_jia) Date: 2007-11-24 21:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=446034 Originator: NO Avi, Could you provide some hints or estimation about this work? And, where should I start or look first? (I think we need to have it since it is on the TODO list.)

It is possible to emulate in software, but a lot of work to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David A. Madore (davidamadore) Date: 2007-08-25 17:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2506 Originator: YES By the way, perhaps this is a stupid question[#] or perhaps I don't understand what this is all about, but if kvm doesn't have task switch support, isn't it possible to do that part in software like the no-kvm qemu does? Isn't it possible to copy that bit of code from the no-kvm qemu and do this "task switch" thingy in software? [#] I guess I don't understand what "task switch support" means, because in my understanding of the term, Linux does task switching and Linux ran fine under qemu+kvm last time I tried. So I guess you are referring to some very specific kind of task switching. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Avi Kivity (avik) Date: 2007-07-31 11:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=539971 Originator: NO Oh no! doesn't work == open bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David A.

(freedos use task switch ) there is an hope to bring task switch support into kvm, but i will take some time. thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David A.
