[Qemu-devel][PATCH 0/2] target-i386: disable LINT0 after reset and init

[Nadav Amit]

LINT0 is currently reenabled after reset to circumvent old seabios bug, which
violates x86 specifications.  This patch-set handles this issue, by removing
the old hack from qemu and reporting to kvm that this quirk is no longer
needed.  In addition, we disable another kvm quirk that clears CD and NW from
CR0 after reset.

Thanks for reviewing these patches.

[Qemu-devel][PATCH 1/2] target-i386: disable LINT0 after reset

[Nadav Amit]

Due to old Seabios bug, QEMU reenable LINT0 after reset. This bug is long gone
and therefore this hack is no longer needed.  Since it violates the
specifications, it is removed.

Thanks, applied this one.  The other will have to wait for a bit, since
it depends on a patch that is destined to Linux 4.2.

The right capability to check here is KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS, not
KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM.

Do you want a v2 now, later (after 4.2), or would you change it yourself?

Later, close to 4.2 but not necessarily after it.

Anyhow, in that case the KVM patch is also wrong (not reporting
KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS is supported). I don’t want to spam, so I’ll run some
tests and resubmit.

Is this bug perhaps not as long gone as we thought, or is there
something else going on here?  Thanks,

I would say, someone needs to check if the SeaBIOS line that is supposed
to enable LINT0 is actually executed on one of the broken systems and,
if not, why not.

There is only one reason (beside miscompiling seabios with
CONFIG_QEMU=n) why seabios would skip acpi initialization, and that is
apic not being present according to cpuid:

    cpuid(1, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &cpuid_features);
    if (eax < 1 || !(cpuid_features & CPUID_APIC)) {
        // No apic - only the main cpu is present.

I don’t happen to have a similar platform. On regular qemu/kvm runs with
q35, I see APIC_LVT0 is set once to 0x8700 on the BSP - as expected:

If someone sends a trace ( http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Tracing ) of the
