commit fa200c95f7f99ce14b8af25ea0be478c722d3cec
Author: Greg Kurz <groug>
Date:   Fri Mar 22 19:03:46 2019 +0100

    target/ppc: Enable "decrement and test CTR" version of bcctr
    
    Even if all ISAs up to v3 indeed mention:
    
        If the "decrement and test CTR" option is specified (BO2=0), the
        instruction form is invalid.
    
    The UMs of all existing 64-bit server class processors say:
    
        If BO[2] = 0, the contents of CTR (before any update) are used as the
        target address and for the test of the contents of CTR to resolve the
        branch. The contents of the CTR are then decremented and written back
        to the CTR.
    
    The linux kernel has spectre v2 mitigation code that relies on a
    BO[2] = 0 variant of bcctr, which is now activated by default on
    spapr, even with TCG. This causes linux guests to panic with
    the default machine type under TCG.
    
    Since any CPU model can provide its own behaviour for invalid forms,
    we could possibly introduce a new instruction flag to handle this.
    In practice, since the behaviour is shared by all 64-bit server
    processors starting with 970 up to POWER9, let's reuse the
    PPC_SEGMENT_64B flag. Caveat: this may have to be fixed later if
    POWER10 introduces a different behaviour.
    
    The existing behaviour of throwing a program interrupt is kept for
    all other CPU models.

You can check it's actually this problem by trying one of these workarounds:

 ... -M cap-cfpc=broken,cap-sbbc=broken,cap-ibs=broken ...

or with

  ... -M pseries-3.1.0 ...

Thanks,
Laurent
Comment 6 Laurent Vivier 2019-07-02 16:22:55 UTC 
This problem can happen only in TCG mode.
Comment 7 Laurent Vivier 2019-07-02 16:32:00 UTC 
(In reply to Laurent Vivier from comment #5)
...
> or with
>

> 

On RHEL, it will be more like:

  ... -M pseries-rhel7.6.0 ...

The goal is to disable the following warnings:

  qemu-kvm: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature, cap-cfpc=workaround
  qemu-kvm: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature, cap-sbbc=workaround
  qemu-kvm: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature, cap-ibs=workaround

That have been introduced in qemu-kvm-3.1.0-26.module+el8.0.1+3210+5c219ce1 by:

  f21757edc554 target/ppc/spapr: Enable mitigations by default for pseries-4.0 machine type
Comment 9 David Gibson 2019-07-03 00:54:02 UTC 
This problem only occurs under TCG, which AFAIK we don't actually support, so I don't think there's any cause for a z-stream backport.

The fix is already in qemu-4.0 upstream, so we'll get it via rebase for RHEL AV 8.1.
Comment 10 Min Deng 2019-07-03 07:05:16 UTC 
QE reproduced the similar problem with the following steps,

Build information,
qemu-kvm-4.0.0-4.module+el8.1.0+3523+b348b848.ppc64le
kernel-4.18.0-109.el8.ppc64le

1. tar -xvf libguestfs-1.40.1.tar.gz
2. cd libguestfs-1.40.1
3. ./configure
(Require a lot of dependencies)
4. make
rm po-docs/podfiles; make -C po-docs update-po
make
make quickcheck LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg \
     LIBGUESTFS_HV=/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm

I used qemu-kvm-4.0.0-4.module+el8.1.0+3523+b348b848.ppc64le,it is still reproducible.

Could you describe?
The problem is the kernel crash, not the qemu-kvm warnings.

Hi Laurent,
   Well received,I will double confirm it.
   And even if I use qemu4.0,the warning will still be there.Thanks

I upload completed log of "qemu-kvm-4.0.0-4.module+el8.1.0+3523+b348b848.ppc64le" ,warnings are there but the whole test suite can finish finally,I didn't see crash problem.
Besides that,I will also upload the log of the problem build as soon as possible since I don't have relevant host at this moment.Thanks a lot.

QE tried the issue on the build qemu-kvm-4.1.0-1.module+el8.1.0+3966+4a23dca1.ppc64le
,found out there's still problem as the following so could you please have a look on them ? 

The same issue will not be reproduced on build 
Build information,

The test could finish correctly.

It's another bug: it fails because of the "-no-reboot" parameter.

Since bd94bc06479a "spapr: change default interrupt mode to 'dual'", QEMU resets the machine to select the appropriate interrupt controller. And -no-reboot prevents that.

Hello Laurent,
  QE will file a bug for new issue,by the way,is it proper for QE to verify this bug since new issue affected this verification ? Could you please give some ideas for it ? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Min
Comment 22 Min Deng 2019-08-20 05:23:59 UTC 
New issues,
Bug 1743477 - Since bd94bc06479a "spapr: change default interrupt mode to 'dual'", QEMU resets the machine to select the appropriate interrupt controller. And -no-reboot prevents that.
Comment 23 Laurent Vivier 2019-08-20 08:25:13 UTC 
The way to workaround the problem is to not use the the "dual" mode for the interrupt controller.

You can either use something like "-M accel=tcg,ic-mode=xics" or "-M accel=tcg,ic-mode=xive".

But as it doesn't seem we can provide these parameters to the test environment of libguestfs you must reproduce the problem directly and remove the -no-reboot parameter:

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M accel=tcg -nodefaults -serial mon:stdio -kernel vmlinuz -nographic

It'd be nice if the qemu command would just DTRT rather than requiring odd, ever-
changing per-architecture hacks.
Comment 25 Min Deng 2019-08-20 09:46:18 UTC 
As there's a new issue Bug 1743477,which will affect bug's verification if QE insist on the original steps.QE made use of the steps from comment23.Thanks for Laurent's big help.
The problem can be reproduced on qemu-kvm-15:3.1.0-26.module+el8.0.1+3210+5c219ce1.ppc64le by the following steps

The problem can be **verified** on qemu-kvm-4.1.0-4.module+el8.1.0+4020+16089f93.ppc64le by the following steps

curl -O http://download-ipv4.eng.brq.redhat.com/rhel-8/rel-eng/RHEL-8/latest-RHEL-8.1.0/compose/BaseOS/ppc64le/os/ppc/ppc64/vmlinuz
curl -O http://download-ipv4.eng.brq.redhat.com/rhel-8/rel-eng/RHEL-8/latest-RHEL-8.1.0/compose/BaseOS/ppc64le/os/ppc/ppc64/initrd.img
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M accel=tcg -nodefaults -serial mon:stdio -kernel vmlinuz -nographic -m 2G -initrd initrd.img

There's no kernel panic problem any more,so the original issue has been fixed and move this bug to be verified.Thanks.

Yes, this situation sucks.  Unfortunately, it's going to take me a little while to figure out how to fix it, and there are a bunch of other high priority bugs I have to look at as well.

We're tracking this in bug 1743477.
