Can u please elaborate a bit on this ? when does guest get in to executing
'hlt' Vs in to 'VM halt'
My understanding is that when guest executes shutdown sequence, eventually it
will execute hlt.
No, hlt is part of the guest idle loop. It will execute hlt whenever
the processor has nothing to do.
During shutdown it will execute an ACPI sequence that results in qemu
exiting.
When you give stop via the monitor/console, what happens ? (and on continue)
Qemu no longer allows the vcpu to execute. If it was in halted state,
it stays that way, and if it wasn't it also stays that way. When you
continue, the vcpu gets more cpu time and can proceed.
