https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65561 Bug ID: 65561 Summary: KVM:Entry failed on Single stepping sti instruction Product: Virtualization Version: unspecified Kernel Version: 3.8.8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: kvm Assignee: virtualization_kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: jatin.iitdelhi@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No Hello, I am running a code in which I need to single step some section of code running in a qemu(+kvm) emulated virtual machine with. The vm hangs everytime I try to single step the sti instruction. Exact error message is: KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x80000021 If you're running a guest on an Intel machine without unrestricted mode support, the failure can be most likely due to the guest entering an invalid state for Intel VT. For example, the guest maybe running in big real mode which is not supported on less recent Intel processors.
