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.

tsc deadline timer not detected

summary: 6 tests, 1 failures


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
host kernel: 2.6.32-262.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.285.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile kvm-unit-tests
2. execute apic test
# qemu-kvm  -nodefaults -serial stdio -vnc :0 -chardev file,id=testlog,path=/tmp/testlog-20120509-094418-65Qx -device testdev,chardev=testlog -m 512 -smp 2 -kernel 'x86/apic.flat' --enable-kvm
  
Actual results:
multiple nmi testing failed

Expected results:
all tests pass

Additional info:
all tests pass with 3.4.0-rc4 host kernel

Comment 2 Dor Laor 2012-05-10 11:52:10 UTC
Is it only the tsc deadline timer? It's not enabled for 6.3.
AFAIK we have a BZ open for 6.4 for the deadline timer

This bug is reported for test_multiple_nmi(), not test_tsc_deadline_timer().

This is not expected result. kvm-unit-test suppose to work without failures only on upstream kernels. It is well known that many tests fail on rhel6, but we do not backport fixes just because unit test fail. Closing the bug. If the bug cause real problems for real guest software please provide info and reopen.

In case we will want to fix it the upstream commit is  7460fb4a340033107530df19e7e125bd0969bfb2
