I haven't been able to reproduce it before this patch. Maybe this patch doesn't introduce it, only exposes it. It does. The root problem is that env-stopped is cleared during reset, so pause_all_threads() doesn't work: uint32_t stop; /* Stop request */ \ uint32_t stopped; /* Artificially stopped */\ ... /* from this point: preserved by CPU reset */ \ This kind of bug is incredibly hard to find - you now owe Gleb a solar mass worth of beer. IMO we shouldn't be coding like this, please patch upstream to explicitly clear what needs clearing.

[PATCH v2 2/6] reuse env stop and stopped states
qemu CPUState already provides stop and stopped states. And they
mean exactly that. There is no need for us to provide our own.
