While host is in load, (repoduced 100% while doing kernel compilation) if I try to run qemu with tcg mode it crashes consistently: ex: Set guest startup RAM size to X megs with: root@libvirt-debian-9:/home/qemu# gdb --args qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=tcg -m 1000000 (gdb) bt #0 tcg_out_opc (opc=opc@entry=85, r=r@entry=0, rm=<optimized out>, x=x@entry=0, s=<optimized out>) at ./tcg/i386/tcg-target.inc.c:460 #1 0x0000555555829ed4 in tcg_out_push (reg=<optimized out>, s=0x5555561c6440 <tcg_ctx>) at ./tcg/i386/tcg-target.inc.c:703 #2 tcg_target_qemu_prologue (s=0x5555561c6440 <tcg_ctx>) at ./tcg/i386/tcg-target.inc.c:2343 #3 tcg_prologue_init (s=s@entry=0x5555561c6440 <tcg_ctx>) at ./tcg/tcg.c:394 #4 0x000055555582052e in tcg_exec_init (tb_size=<optimized out>) at ./translate-all.c:831 #5 0x0000555555945c35 in tcg_init (ms=<optimized out>) at ./accel.c:42 #6 0x0000555555945d6e in accel_init_machine (ms=0x5555566df080, acc=0x5555566a82b0) at ./accel.c:70 #7 configure_accelerator (ms=0x5555566df080) at ./accel.c:109 #8 0x000055555580fda9 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, envp=<optimized out>) at ./vl.c:4359 When host is not in load there is not problem, it works as expected. root@libvirt-debian-9:/home/qemu# qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=tcg -m 1000000 qemu-system-x86_64: cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory I am using Debian 9. In debian-testing this is already fixed, so qemu version is the problem here. I didn't bisect the commit that fixed it, if anyone is interesting in backporting I can do that. Thanks, Katerina
