In that case it is indeed supported like on other mips64r5 CPUs. For that you need to use add the -enable-kvm option to the qemu command.

A simple cpu listing below shows no such CPU. If mips64r6 is indeed supported with SMP, I would think mips64r2 userland should run fine. $ qemu-system-mips64el -cpu ?

A simple cpu listing > below shows no such CPU. If mips64r6 is indeed supported with SMP, I > would think mips64r2 userland should run fine. I know that using QEMU's I6400 or I6500 CPU emulation works fine with SMP as far as -smp 8. It emulates a single core system with up to 8 VPs (hardware threads), and Linux works fine with it. I most often use the Boston board emulation with a 64r6el_defconfig kernel for this, but it ought to work for Malta too. Both I6400 & I6500 are MIPS64r6 CPUs, so as Aurelien said you'd need to ensure you're using a suitable MIPSr6 root filesystem. If you wanted to run as I do it'd go something like this: $ qemu-system-mips64el \ -M boston \ -cpu I6500 \ -smp 8 \ -kernel arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.itb Where that's run from the root of a kernel source tree within which you've built a 64r6el_defconfig kernel. Not sure what the behavior is with older CPUs; QEMU's CM & CPC emulation is somewhat incomplete, and whilst I6400 & I6500 have a relatively straightforward VP model older CPUs have the more complex MT ASE with VPEs & TCs to worry about.

Hi Jun, As far as I known, Loongson is using there own SMP IPI implementation instead of MIPS MT One. There QEMU implementation could be found here [1]. QEMU have implemented MIPS MT ASE for SMP.
