Public bug reported:

I am running a vm on google cloud engine (gce)

I a trying to run some nested tests for ubuntu core 20 using ovmf and
tpm. The proble we have with this is that when using kvm we see random
reboots on the vm during first boot. If I set more than 1 cpu like in
the following example I see the random reboots much more often.

How we run the vm:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 -m 4096 -machine ubuntu-q35,accel=kvm 
-global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 -nographic -net nic,model=virtio -net 
user,hostfwd=tcp::8022-:22 -drive 
file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on
 -drive 
file=/tmp/work-dir/image/OVMF_VARS.snakeoil.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1 
-chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/var/snap/swtpm-mvo/current/swtpm-sock -tpmdev 
emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 -drive 
file=/tmp/work-dir/image/ubuntu-core-new.img,cache=none,format=raw,id=disk1,if=none
 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk1,bootindex=1                  -monitor 
tcp:127.0.0.1:8888,server,nowait -usb

When using only 1 cpu (-smp 1) there are less reboots bet then when
running test if the cpu of qemu arrives to 100% then the machine also
starts rebooting

Error I see in logs:
Every time the machine is rebooted I see this line in the journal logs:
Apr 14 18:35:57 apr141722-614284 kernel: kvm [62484]: vcpu0, guest rIP: 
0xffffffffbc4788b4 disabled perfctr wrmsr: 0xc2 data 0xffff

The reboots are not happening when kvm is not used.

Thanks
