Thanks, that will be most helpful.  If userspace won't compile against
some intermediate version, let me know the commit hash and I'll add a fixup.



A bisect didn't find anything between 2.6.22 and 2.6.23.  Which made me
very confused.  I think, I must have used the Debian userland tools...
which is still bad and I will double check that with 2.6.23.
  


Yes.  You can use the same tools for all versions from .22 and up.

Another thing to try is whether the lockup reproduces with 'taskset 1'.  
Maybe it is preemption related.


Thanks for the effort.

Does 2.6.23 hang immediately?  If so, these may be two separate problems 
and it's worth bisecting to find out what's the fix in 2.6.24-rc.


Of course we'll have to address the later hang as well.



Avi,

it does not hang immediately.  It seems to wait until I go to bed to
hang -- so it's going to be really fun to rebase.  It could be triggered
by something that runs off cron in the guest or host.  I am not sure.  


At this point I know that 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-rc0 hung, and 2.6.22.10
(with kvm-userspace.git) ran overnight.

I will try some of the 23-rc's next.

Once the system is booted, I attached using vnc, then I ssh in and ran
'svn update'... and the host machine froze.

The last messages I on my serial console are:

kvm: unhandled rdmsr: 0x417
kvm: unhandled rdmsr: 0xc400
  




I noticed that linus merged a bunch of KVM changes last week.  I will
try those out next.
  

It looks like Linus' tree has the fix already.



I spoke too soon.  The latest from Linus' tree also freezes... but it
took overnight to get there.  There was no particular load on it.

This system was previously running 2.6.22.y w/o problems with a similar
kvm pattern.

This time it froze w/o showing any kvm rdmsr messages.  And while it
froze sometime over night, I cannot be sure when.  Here is the SysRq's
"showPc" output:
