ok, I have tested the patched qemu-kvm (guestOS ubuntu 10.10 with
2.6.35-24-generic kernel) with:
qemu-system-x86_64 /my/image -m 1G -smp 1,maxcpus=2 \
-cpu host,-kvmclock
on 2 different physical hosts. On the first one:
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 37
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz
cpu hotplug works ok. When onlining (echo 1 >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online) dmesg shows:
Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1
TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
Measured 3573498937792 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
kvm-clock: cpu 1, msr 0:1f15901, secondary cpu clock
on the second system:
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 16
model : 4
model name : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
onlining fails:
Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1
CPU1: Not Responding.
When I specify -kvmclock on the qemu command line for the AMD system,
it seems that the clocksource on the guest is hpet.
Dmesg on guest shows "Switching to clocksource hpet" and
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
confirms.
When I don't specify -kvmclock, then the guest clocksource is actually
kvm-clock. But the onlining problem persists.
I have also tried a newer guestOS (debian-testing with 2.6.39 or 3.0.0
kernel) on the second system, same problem.
Also: what physical host have you used for testing?
thanks,
