Hello,
We compiled the kernel with x86_64_defconfig and the following configs
from commit d4c6399900364facd84c9e35ce1540b6046c345f (vmlinux.lds.h:
Avoid orphan section with !SMP ):
CONFIG_SMP=n
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y
CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST=y
CONFIG_KVM=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y
Then start virtual machine with the following command (OS: Ubuntu; Arch:
x86-64):
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu Skylake-Server -smp 10 -m 8192
-boot menu=on,splash-time=1000 \
-device virtio-scsi-pci \
-initrd ${initramfs} \
-kernel ./linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
-append "root=/dev/ram rw rdinit=/sbin/init console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk=ttyS0 debug " \
-nographic -vnc :18
(Note: ./linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage is the compiled kernel bzImage path
On my machine, initramfs=./x86_procfs.cpio.gz_1 )
QEMU reports an error: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address:
ffffffff8ad01040
The bug was introduced by commit d4c6399900, and the problem can be
avoided by rolling back the patch.
Patch link:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d4c6399900364facd84c9e35ce1540b6046c345f.
We speculate that the problem is related to the hardware memory
encryption feature in the virtualization scenario of the AMD platform.
