Hi, I am getting a frozen guest when migrating from an Opteron 6274 host (amd fam15h) to an Opteron 6174 host (amd fam10h). The live migration completes succesfully, but the guest is frozen: vcn screen is still there, but no input is possible and no kernel output is seen. Trying "c" on the qemu-monitor does not help. I am using "-cpu Opteron_G3" which I assumed would be ok for both host cpus. In the opposite direction (migrating from an amd fam10h host to an amdfam15h host) the guest continues to run on the destination. However, on most of these successfull live migrations, I notice a "clocksource unstable" message on the guest kernel (using the default kvm-clock clocksource) e.g. Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -1500533439 ns) Same situation (guest runs on destination with clocksource unstable message) happens when migrating between fam15h hosts (I have not tried between fam10h hosts) Changing the clocksource (tsc, acpi_pm, hpet) does not solve the issue. Also tried with "-cpu kvm64" with same result. qemu-kvm version: 0.15.1, 1.0 or qemu-kvm/master Host kernel: 3.0.15 (on both hosts) Guest kernel: 3.0.6 or 3.2 this is the qemu-kvm command line used on the source host: " kvm -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1 -cpu Opteron_G3,check -drive \ file=/opt/test.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=raw,cache=writethrough,boot=on -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1 -monitor stdio -vnc 0.0.0.0:6 -vga std -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 " The destination host has the same command line with an added "-incoming tcp:4444". I have mainly tested this with non-shared storage (but also shared storage has the same result). Migration is triggered with "migrate -b tcp:destip:4444" Do the TSC microarchitecture changes in amdfam15h (see AMD SW optimiization guide for fam15h, 47414 Rev 3.02 Appendix E) affect pvclock stability on migration in same family or across families? cpuid information follows in case it's helpful. 6274 host: eax in eax ebx ecx edx 00000000 0000000d 68747541 444d4163 69746e65 00000001 00600f12 02100800 1e98220b 178bfbff 00000002 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000003 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000004 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000005 00000040 00000040 00000003 00000000 00000006 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000007 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000008 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000009 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000000a 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000000b 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000000c 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000000d 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000000 8000001e 68747541 444d4163 69746e65 80000001 00600f12 30000000 01c9bfff 2fd3fbff 80000002 20444d41 6574704f 286e6f72 20294d54 80000003 636f7250 6f737365 32362072 20203437 80000004 20202020 20202020 20202020 00202020 80000005 ff20ff18 ff20ff30 10040140 40020140 80000006 64000000 64004200 08008140 0060e140 80000007 00000000 00000000 00000000 000003d9 80000008 00003030 00000000 0000500f 00000000 80000009 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000000a 00000001 00010000 00000000 000014ff 8000000b 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000000c 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000000d 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000000e 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000000f 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000010 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000011 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000012 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000013 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000014 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000015 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000016 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000017 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000018 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000019 f020f018 64000000 00000000 00000000 8000001a 00000003 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000001b 000000ff 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000001c 00000000 80032013 00010200 8000000f 8000001d 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 8000001e 00000022 00000101 00000100 00000000 Vendor ID: "AuthenticAMD";
