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	Flags
[RHEL-6.5 qemu-kvm PATCH] Do not quit QEMU if cpu-set is called in non ACPI mode	none

Description Peter Krempa 2013-07-30 15:53:04 UTC

Description of problem:
When attempting to start a new cpu on a machine without ACPI qemu-kvm exits instead of reporting an error to the monitor and forbidding the hotplug that is not possible without ACPI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.382.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start qemu-kvm with free cpu sockets and -no-acpi
2. try to hotplug a cpu
3. qemu exits

Actual results:
qemu-kvm exits with:

Unknown cpu model: <84><8B>^?
Unable to support requested x86 CPU definition

(note the binary characters, probably another issue)

Expected results:
qemu-kvm forbids hotplug of the cpus via a monitor message

Comment 6 Markus Armbruster 2013-08-14 11:08:19 UTC

Alternate reproducer that crashes rather than terminates QEMU:

$ qemu-kvm -nodefaults -vnc :0 -monitor stdio -S -smp 2 -no-acpi
QEMU 0.12.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) cpu_set 1 offline
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Comment 10 zhonglinzhang 2013-09-09 08:41:04 UTC

Reproduce with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.356.el6.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a guest with following command line:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc -nodefaults  -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 4G -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -no-acpi  .........................

2. Check cpu in qemu monitor:
(qemu) info cpus
* CPU #0: pc=0xffffffff8103eccb (halted) thread_id=15109 
  CPU #1: pc=0x00000000000f58a7 (halted) thread_id=15110 
  CPU #2: pc=0x00000000000f58a7 (halted) thread_id=15111 
  CPU #3: pc=0x00000000000f58a7 (halted) thread_id=15112

3. (qemu) cpu_set 1 offline

Actual Results:
qemu-kvm core dump
(gdb) bt

#11 main (argc=37, argv=<value optimized out>, envp=<value optimized out>)
    at /usr/src/debug/qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2/vl.c:6525



Verify with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.400.el6.x86_64
steps as above
Actual Results: 
qemu-kvm no core dump
(qemu) cpu_set 1 offline
CPU hot add is disabled by -no-acpi option


Based on above information, so this issue has been fixed.
