I first bumped it up to 1300 and inserted debugging output to see how many cycles are actually spent in the loop. It enters the emulation mode so frequently (and leaves it again) that the dmesg buffer ran over (128kB). So I changed the debugging to give me the lowest cycle count that it ever has after the loop: handle_invalid_guest_state: emulation left, new low count 1295 handle_invalid_guest_state: emulation left, new low count 1292 handle_invalid_guest_state: emulation left, new low count 1291 handle_invalid_guest_state: emulation left, new low count 1245 Which means that it spends a maximum of 55 cycles in the loop (well below the original 130 even).

They're not exactly meaningful for me, but probably of interest to you. Besides the low count value after loop exit value, I've introduced two counters which both are incremented inside the loop. Also I've modified the loop to be one return only (i.e. ret = foobar; goto out instead of return).

Maybe I'll fiddle some more and am able to provide some insight (probably you already know what's going on, but it won't hurt I guess). Followup on that: I've shorted the debug output (so it doesn't get wrapped in mail and can be more easily read) and I've enumerated all five possible exists from the loop: 1. intr_window_requested (kvm_get_rflags(vmx-vcpu) X86_EFLAGS_IF) 2. err == EMULATE_DO_MMIO 3. err != EMULATE_DONE 4. signal_pending(current) 5. while loop exit And added that to the loop.

Tried it out -- I don't get the error anymore, but qemu just hangs on boot with 100% CPU. :-( Not too surprising, this hasn't been tested in quite a while. Or is it impossible to run Windows 7 with kvm on a Core Quad (which possibly doesn't support Unrestricted Guest)? It should be possible. Did you do anything special with the guest (install any software?) before rebooting? Is this repeatable? Nothing at all, just a standard installation. Did not even get to the point where I *could* install software (it reboots during the installation and that's where it doesn't come up anymore). I even tried to completing the installation on my laptop (which works), then copy the image back on my desktop PC: Same error. That should help the tracing effort. Any hints on how I could debug the hang with the emulation of invalid guest state? Or is there a more recent version (git?) than a 3.3.7 kernel that I should try out? 3.3.7 should definitely work.

Therefore, I've uploaded the compressed trace.dat file, so you can maybe have a look why the report tool barfs and interpret it correctly. I can't figure it out. The trace is here: http://spornkuller.de/trace.dat.bz2 The trace was generated with a buffer of 4 (double of what was given in the example), when it was lower I had overruns. This way I had none. Also, to simulate a single cpu, I've run qemu with -smp 1, hopefully that's correct. I even tried to completing the installation on my laptop (which works), then copy the image back on my desktop PC: Same error. That should help the tracing effort. Should I also generate a trace there and look for the corresponding opcodes that fail on my main machine?
