[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1412098] [NEW] qemu crashes when ctrl-alt-u is pressed

[Legorol]

Public bug reported:

Qemu version: 2.2.0 release, compiled from source
Host OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Guest OS: not applicable, crash occurs even without OS and occurs with all OSs
Executable: qemu-system-i386.exe or qemu-system-i386w.exe

To reproduce:
Start qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-i386w without any options. Press CTRL-ALT-U, which is supposed to rescale the window. Instead, qemu just crashes.

Compilation:
Qemu 2.2.0 release compiled from sources under MinGW on the host.
Configure options used:
'../qemu-2.2.0/configure' '--python=C:/Python27/python' '--prefix=/mingw/build/qemu-2.2.0-bin' '--target-list=i386-softmmu'

** Affects: qemu
     Importance: Undecided

[Qemu-devel] Windows 2008 Guest BSODS with CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT on VM migration

[Mikhail Sennikovskii]

Hi all,

I'm running a slitely modified migration over tcp test in virt-test, 
which does a migration from one "smp=2" VM to another on the same host 
over TCP,
and exposes some dummy CPU load inside the GUEST while migration, and 
after a series of runs I'm alwais getting a CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD 
inside the guest,
which happens when
"
An expected clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor in an
MP system within the allocated interval. This indicates that the specified
processor is hung and not processing interrupts.
"

This seems to happen with any qemu version I've tested (1.2 and above, 
including upstream),
and I was testing it with 3.13.0-44-generic kernel on my Ubuntu 14.04.1 
LTS with SMP4 host, as well as on 3.12.26-1 kernel with Debian 6 with 
SMP6 host.

One thing I noticed is that exposing a dummy CPU load on the HOST (like 
running multiple instances of the "while true; do false; done" script) 
in parallel with doing migration makes the issue to be quite easily 
reproducible.


Looking inside the windows crash dump, the second CPU is just running at 
IRQL 0, and it aparently not hung, as Windows is able to save its state 
in the crash dump correctly, which assumes running some code on it.
So this aparently seems to be some timing issue (like host scheduler 
does not schedule the thread executing secondary CPU's code in time).

Could you give me some insight on this, i.e. is there a way to customize 
QEMU/KVM to avoid such issue?

If you think this might be a qemu/kvm issue, I can provide you any info, 
like windows crash dumps, or the test-case to reproduce this.

console: stop using PixelFormat

With this patch the qemu console core stops using PixelFormat and pixman
format codes side-by-side, pixman format code is the primary way to
specify the DisplaySurface format:

 * DisplaySurface stops carrying a PixelFormat field.
 * qemu_create_displaysurface_from() expects a pixman format now.

Functions to convert PixelFormat to pixman_format_code_t (and back)
exist for those who still use PixelFormat.   As PixelFormat allows
easy access to masks and shifts it will probably continue to exist.

Windows 2008 Guest BSODS with CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT on VM migration

[Mikhail Sennikovskii]

Hi all,

I've posted the bolow mail to the qemu-dev mailing list, but I've got no 
response there.
That's why I decided to re-post it here as well, and besides that I 
think this could be a kvm-specific issue as well.

Some additional thing to note:
I can reproduce the issue on my Debian 7 with 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 
kernel as well.
I would typically use a max_downtime adjusted to 1 second instead of 
default 30 ms.
I also noticed that the issue happens much more rarelly if I increase 
the migration bandwidth, i.e. like

diff --git a/migration.c b/migration.c
index 26f4b65..d2e3b39 100644
--- a/migration.c
+++ b/migration.c
@@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ enum {
      MIG_STATE_COMPLETED,
  };

-#define MAX_THROTTLE  (32 << 20)      /* Migration speed throttling */
+#define MAX_THROTTLE  (90 << 20)      /* Migration speed throttling */

Like I said below, I would be glad to provide you with any additional 
information.

Thanks,
Mikhail

Hi, Mikhail,

So if you choose to use one vcpu, instead of smp, this issue would not
happen, right?

Re: Windows 2008 Guest BSODS with CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT on VM migration

[Mikhail Sennikovskii]

Hi Zhang,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, it indeed worked for me!
I.e. after adding the hv_relaxed to the list of CPU properties I can no 
longer reproduce the BSOD on migration with any kernel version that I 
used so far.

Thanks for your help,
Mikhail

Title:
  qemu crashes when ctrl-alt-u is pressed

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Qemu version: 2.2.0 release, compiled from source
  Host OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
  Guest OS: not applicable, crash occurs even without OS and occurs with all OSs
  Executable: qemu-system-i386.exe or qemu-system-i386w.exe

  To reproduce:
  Start qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-i386w without any options. Press CTRL-ALT-U, which is supposed to rescale the window. Instead, qemu just crashes.

  Compilation:
  Qemu 2.2.0 release compiled from sources under MinGW on the host.
  Configure options used:
  '../qemu-2.2.0/configure' '--python=C:/Python27/python' '--prefix=/mingw/build/qemu-2.2.0-bin' '--target-list=i386-softmmu'

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1412098] Re: qemu crashes when ctrl-alt-u is pressed

[Ingo Krabbe]

Actually in any version this can never work, as you call

   sdl_switch(dcl,NULL);

in ui/sdl.c:552. So the dereferncing statement

   new_surface->format

must SEGFAULT.

The obvious patch is very simple, of course, as just the statement below
line 128 asks if(new_surface). So pf should be initialized after this
check:

diff --git a/ui/sdl.c b/ui/sdl.c
index 138ca73..c4fa1f6 100644
--- a/ui/sdl.c

 {
-    PixelFormat pf = qemu_pixelformat_from_pixman(new_surface->format);

     /* temporary hack: allows to call sdl_switch to handle scaling changes */

Ingo Krabbe's suggested change fixes the issue for me.
