RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Guo, Zhiyi 2017-05-23 08:50:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
Windows 10 BSOD when using rhel6.4.0/rhel6.5.0/rhel6.6.0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.10.0-668.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot windows 10 guest with below cli:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-S \
-cpu Nehalem \
-m 2048 \
-realtime mlock=off \
-smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 \
-uuid 0ebfba3a-83a1-144f-4e5d-9f7731677231 \
-no-user-config \
-nodefaults \
-rtc base=utc \
-no-shutdown \
-boot menu=off,strict=on \
-device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 \
-device ide-drive,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 \
-vnc 0.0.0.0:28 \
-vga std \
-boot order=d \
-device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 \
-monitor stdio \
-cdrom en_windows_10_enterprise_version_1607_updated_jul_2016_x64_dvd_9054264.iso \
-msg timestamp=on \
-drive file=/root/zhguo/bwin10.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,cache=none,aio=native \
-machine rhel6.6.0,accel=kvm,usb=off \
-device intel-hda,id=sound0 \
-device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0 \
2.Check guest status
3.

Actual results:
Guest BSOD with stop code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED

Expected results:
Guest can boot to desktop

Additional info:
No such issue happen when using rhel7.4 guest. Also no such issue happen if change machine type to rhel6.3.0 or pc-i440fx-rhel7.3.0/pc-i440fx-rhel7.4.0

BSOD with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-28.el7_3.10 + -machine rhel6.6.0

I could reproduce it on a similar host.

Command-line used: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -S -cpu Nehalem,+erms,enforce -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 0ebfba3a-83a1-144f-4e5d-9f7731677231 -no-user-config -nodefaults -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -boot menu=off,strict=on -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device ide-drive,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:1 -vga std -boot order=d -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -monitor stdio -msg timestamp=on -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/windows_10_dbgenabled_test.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,cache=none,aio=native -machine rhel6.6.0,accel=kvm,usb=off -device intel-hda,id=sound0 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0 -device usb-tablet

Results:

* qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-7.el7 + -machine rhel6.6.0: boots normally
* qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-28.el7_3.10 + -machine rhel6.6.0: crash (see screenshot)
* qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-28.el7_3.10.x86_64 + -machine pc-i440fx-rhel7.4.0: boots normally

The BSOD screenshot was captured after setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\DisplayParameters (DWORD) = 1
Comment 14 Eduardo Habkost 2017-06-02 21:20:30 UTC 
The exception info seems to indicate an illegal instruction.  Is anybody more experienced in debugging windows kernel code able to figure out what's the instruction triggering the exception?
Comment 15 Vadim Rozenfeld 2017-06-03 23:59:03 UTC 
When SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bugcheck happens, the second parameter usually indicates the address of instruction, which caused KiTrap0D. Next time when the problem happens, you can check this value and use it from qemu monitor for dumping and disassembling Windows guest code 
(xp /4i physical_address_from_2nd_bugcheck_param - couple_of_bytes)
Comment 16 Eduardo Habkost 2017-06-05 11:27:30 UTC 
Disassemble of the address seems to indicate a clflushopt instruction. Example below:

clflushopt is not enabled on CPUID, though.  I will take a look at other CPUID data and compare with the rhel7.4 machine-type and RHEL-7.3 qemu-kvm.

Is anybody with access to a Windows kernel debugger able to to get a stack trace and a memory dump, to find out what exactly is making this function be called?
Comment 17 Eduardo Habkost 2017-06-05 12:53:44 UTC 
Found the root cause: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-28.el7_3.10 sets CPUID[0].EAX=7.  qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-7.el7 sets CPUID[0].EAX=4.  Can work around it using "-cpu Nehalem,+erms,level=7,enforce".  It looks like Windows 10 assumes a non-zero value for CPUID[7] if it's unavailable.

I am now reviewing the compat code to understand why we broke compatibility on CPUID[0].EAX.

Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-9.el7
Comment 26 Guo, Zhiyi 2017-06-13 06:56:10 UTC 
Verify this issue against qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-9.el7.x86_64. Win 10 guest can boot normally with cli:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-S \
-cpu Nehalem,+erms,enforce \
-m 2048 \
-realtime mlock=off \
-smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 \
-uuid 0ebfba3a-83a1-144f-4e5d-9f7731677231 \
-no-user-config \
-nodefaults \
-rtc base=utc \
-no-shutdown \
-boot menu=off,strict=on \
-device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 \
-device ide-drive,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 \
-vnc 0.0.0.0:28 \
-vga std \
-boot order=d \
-device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 \
-monitor stdio \
-cdrom en_windows_10_enterprise_version_1607_updated_jul_2016_x64_dvd_9054264.iso \
-msg timestamp=on \
-drive file=/root/zhguo/rhel74-64-virtio-scsi.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,cache=none,aio=native \
-machine rhel6.6.0,accel=kvm,usb=off \

rhel6.5.0/rhel6.4.0 is also worked.
Try the cli with rhel7.4 guest, guest also can be booted.
