I don't know why the -smp behaviour would make I can't think of why the -smp behaviour would make a difference except for a strange race. Doing another bisect might be the only way to get to the bottom of it. But before that you could try get some data about why the guest stops? Get some samples of CPU registers when it gets stuck and see if you can see if it is stuck in a loop of interupts or something. I don't know if qemu can log much from KVM execution so you might have to just run info registers a dozen times on each CPU (`cpu 1` will change to CPU 1 in the qemu monitor). Thanks, Nick

Hi Nick,
Thanks a lot for your answer. Yes, there is a little bit of progress.
The RC2 of kernel 5.13 successfully boots with -smp 3 in a virtual e5500
QEMU machine.
-smp 4 doesn't work anymore since the PowerPC updates 5.13-2. I used
-smp 4 before 5.13 because my FSL P5040 machine has 4 cores.
Could you please post a patch for reverting the commit before
b1c5356e873c ("KVM: PPC: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks")?
You could `git checkout b1c5356e873c~1`

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your answer. I checked out the commit b1c5356e873c~1 (HEAD is
now at d923ff258423 KVM: MIPS/MMU: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier
callbacks).
The kernel boots with '-smp 4' without any problems.
After that I patched with the probable first bad commit (KVM: PPC:
Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks). The kernel also boots
with this patch. That means, this isn't the first bad commit.

If the uImage doesn't load, it may be because of the size of uImage.
See https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/208
Is there a significant size difference with and without KVM HV ?
Maybe you can try to remove another option to reduce the size of the
uImage.

For me it is ok to work with -smp 1, 2, and 3 but I am curious why -smp 4
doesn’t work.

Do you have an idea which commit could be resposible for this issue? Maybe the bisecting wasn't successful. I will look in the kernel git log. Maybe there is a commit that affected KVM HV on FSL P50x0 machines. If the uImage doesn't load, it may be because of the size of uImage. See https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/208 Is there a significant size difference with and without KVM HV ? Maybe you can try to remove another option to reduce the size of the uImage. Or if you are using gzipped uImage you can try with an lzma uImage.
