[Xen-users] BSOD "A clock interrupt was not recevied ona secondary processor within the allocated time interval"
Hi,
When dom0 is under heavy load any Vista or Windows 2008 HVM''s that are
running and have multiple cpu''s assigned often BSOD with code
0x00000101 "A clock interrupt was not recevied ona secondary
processor within the allocated time interval"
It only happens if the load in dom0 is high enough to make the mouse
pointer lagged, once the mouse fails to track in realtime the hvm''s
start to bsod within a few seconds.
I have tried several versions of Xen including 3.2, 3.3 and 3.3.1 rc4,
and various kernels including the 2.6.18 xensource and 2.6.27-xen.hg.
Here is a example config from one of my vista hvms, is there a
timer/rtc setting that I need to add to avoid this problem?
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 2048
name = "Vistax86"
uuid = "b7bd2f2f-169f-4789-8aee-eaa77c543c99"
vcpus=8
vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:7d:bc:b1'' ]
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vg_raptor/lv_vistax86,hda,w'',
'',hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
boot="d"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="127.0.0.1"
vncdisplay=11
vncpasswd=''vv8176a''
stdvga=0
serial=''pty''
usbdevice=''tablet''
cpuid=[''1:edx=xxx1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,ebx=xxxxxxxx00010000xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'',''4,0:eax=001111xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'']

This is very similar to the patch we have on top of the original Novell stuff. Steve Ofsthun was digging through the new viridian.c code at the end of the day yesterday to see if this bit was set.

I have a test setup where I can introduce an arbitrary delay in qemu-dm. It''s easy to trigger bug check 0x101 in Windows 2008 that way. Using viridian=1, with the relaxed timer bit set, I have been unable to crash Windows 2008. Looks like a good thing to commit. - Frank _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I''d like to try xen-unstable with viridian=1 but I want to be absolutely sure that the issue is fixed so if you have a patch for qemu-dm I''d appreciate it if you could post it, the BSOD 101 issue causes serious problems for me because I am using pci passthrough, I''ve found if the domain using passthru crashes, I issue "xm pci-detach", or "xm destroy" a domain that is using a passthru pci device, will cause the entire machine to lockup , I''ve tried Xen 3.2.1/2/3 and 3.3.0/1 with various different kernels but it always happens, so if my Vista or 2008 domains that are using pci passthru usb2 cards BSOD at all it takes down the entire box, usually resulting in data loss :( Perhaps that problem might be fixed in unstable too, I will try it tomorrow but it would really help to have a way to trigger a bsod 101.

In cpu_handle_ioreq, if send_vcpu != 0,, it checks for the presence of a file called /tmp/qemu_delay. If it exists, it opens it and reads a delay value from it. Then it sleeps for that duration (in microseconds). What I do is boot windows 2008, then open an editor to edit /tmp/qemu_delay. From the editor, I write various values to it. An easy way to trigger the issue is to write a large value (say, 8000000 for 8 seconds), wait a little while, and then write 0 to make the domain come back to life. It should bluescreen at this point. Sometimes the procedure has to be repeated a few times. If you want to do "echo $value > /tmp/qemu_delay", you''ll need to change the hack to re-open the file each time, probably. - Frank _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
