kvmhv_switch_to_host() in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
needs to set kvmppc_vcore->in_guest to 0 to signal secondary CPUs to
continue. This happens after resetting the PCR. Before commit
13c7bb3c57dc ("powerpc/64s: Set reserved PCR bits"), r0 would always
be 0 before it was stored to kvmppc_vcore->in_guest. However because
of this change in the commit:
/* Reset PCR */
ld r0, VCORE_PCR(r5)
- cmpdi r0, 0
+ LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r6, PCR_MASK)
+ cmpld r0, r6
beq 18f
- li r0, 0
- mtspr SPRN_PCR, r0
+ mtspr SPRN_PCR, r6
18:
/* Signal secondary CPUs to continue */
stb r0,VCORE_IN_GUEST(r5)
We are no longer comparing r0 against 0 and loading it with 0 if it
contains something else. Hence when we store r0 to
kvmppc_vcore->in_guest, it might not be 0. This means that secondary
CPUs will not be signalled to continue. Those CPUs get stuck and
errors like the following are logged:
KVM: CPU 1 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 2 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 3 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 4 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 5 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 6 seems to be stuck
KVM: CPU 7 seems to be stuck
This can be reproduced with:
$ for i in `seq 1 7` ; do chcpu -d $i ; done ;
$ taskset -c 0 qemu-system-ppc64 -smp 8,threads=8 \
-M pseries,accel=kvm,kvm-type=HV -m 1G -nographic -vga none \
-kernel vmlinux -initrd initrd.cpio.xz
Fix by making sure r0 is 0 before storing it to
kvmppc_vcore->in_guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
