I found that an issue with x86-64 is that the mmu picks up an nx shadow page for a non-nx guest pte. This is unrelated to smp, but only shows up there. It is easily fixed but meanwhile a workaround is to disable nx in cpuid. I have a patch for userspace which does the following: - set up a kvm main loop outside vl.c and cpu-exec.c. - disable signals on ap threads, so that timer and network signals are only handled on vcpu 0 - set up locking so that qemu code is never executed on more than one thread - hack qemu's apic so it can sipi and ipi other vcpus -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
