[Bug 1866870] Re: KVM Guest pauses after upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04

["Christian Ehrhardt " <1866870@bugs.launchpad.net>]

It detects host as Penryn as well for @tstrike.
Which is fine if it is a chip of around that era.
He reported to have an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz"
And for that chip the detection and chip used might be correct.

So to summarize all repro fails, but on Penryn ERA chips 2/2 cases
trigger the bug.

I wonder if one that wants to reproduce needs a system with such a chip
as well then to test and trigger this.

There should be plenty of people on CC as this is mirrored to qemu-devel
due to the upstream qemu task. Is there an microarchitectural x86
specialist that knows if the chips of that generation have some special
issues in regard to VMX that might explain what we see here?

It would be great if everyone could ask around for more systems with chips of that era.
Maybe we can further bisect which work and which will fail.

  As outlined here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1813165/comments/15

  After upgrade, all KVM guests are in a default pause state. Even after
  forcing them off via virsh, and restarting them the guests are paused.

  These Guests are not nested.

  A lot of diganostic information are outlined in the previous bug
  report link provided. The solution mentioned in previous report had
  been allegedly integrated into the downstream updates.
