Doc Text:
Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2 require some CPU features that are not present in all qemu-kvm CPU models. Consequently, Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2 do not boot they if certain CPU models are used, namely Opteron_G1, Conroe, and kvm64. To work around this problem, use CPU models that include the features required by Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2, for example Penryn, Nehalem, Westmere, SandyBridge, Haswell, Opteron_G2, Opteron_G3, Opteron_G4, Opteron_G5.

ADescription of problem:
win8.1.x86_64 / win2012r2 guest will circling reboot when boot with -cpu 'Conroe'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.10.0-63.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-30.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a win8.1.x86_64 / win2012r2 guest with -cpu 'Conroe':

3.

Actual results:
win8.1.x86_64 / win2012r2 guest will circling reboot when boot with -cpu 'Conroe'

Expected results:
win8.1.x86_64 / win2012r2 guest boot successfully w/ -cpu 'Conroe'

Additional info:
1. With -cpu 'Penryn' / 'Nehalem' / 'Westmere' / 'SandyBridge' / 'Haswell' / 'host' can't hit this problem.

2. win2012 / win8.1.i386 / win8.0 guest doesn't hit this problem.

Comment 5 Eduardo Habkost 2014-02-24 18:35:00 EST 
Win 8.1 and 2012R2 require the CX16 (CMPXCHG16B) CPU feature, which is not present on Conroe, kvm64, and Opteron_G1. Please confirm it is not reproducible using "-cpu ...,+cx16".
Comment 6 lijin 2014-02-25 00:01:48 EST 
boot win2k12R2 guest with "-cpu kvm64,+cx16",still hit this issue.

win2012r2 guest can boot successfully with -cpu 'Conroe',+cx16.

Please try using "-cpu kvm64,+cx8,+cx16". There may be other CPU features required by Win2012R2, but we can check if cx8 and cx16 are the only ones.

In either case, we simply need to document that Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012R2 are not compatible with all CPU models.
