Resending it as my mail client wrapped all the lines, sorry..


(qemu) info kvm
kvm support: enabled

KVM related messages on the host server:

~ # dmesg |grep kvm
[ 3649.058945] loaded kvm module (kvm-kmod-2.6.32)
[ 3683.736737] kvm: emulating exchange as write (It's interesting, what does it mean?)

On the guest side:

~ # dmesg | grep kvm
[    0.000000] kvm-clock: cpu 0, msr 0:64a3e1, boot clock
[    0.000000] kvm-clock: cpu 0, msr 0:20103e1, primary cpu clock
[    0.065075] kvm-clock: cpu 1, msr 0:20203e1, secondary cpu clock

First of all if there are some specific outputs that will reveal the
IO/CPU boundness of the workload, I'd like to give them too. I'm not
much familiar with diagnostic/analysis tools..

Guest is idle:

load average reached 0.91 at the end of the configuration.

SMP view of top command shows that only Cpu2 and Cpu9 are involved,
other ones are zeroed (maybe coherent with -smp 2, don't have much idea):

Cpu2  : 28.4%us, 31.4%sy,  0.0%ni, 40.2%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si, 0.0%st

I also checked iotop on host and qemu-kvm appears occasionally with disk

Resending it as my mail client wrapped all the lines, sorry..

KVM related messages on the host server:

~ # dmesg |grep kvm
[ 3649.058945] loaded kvm module (kvm-kmod-2.6.32)
[ 3683.736737] kvm: emulating exchange as write (It's interesting, what does it mean?)

On the guest side:

~ # dmesg | grep kvm
[    0.000000] kvm-clock: cpu 0, msr 0:64a3e1, boot clock
[    0.000000] kvm-clock: cpu 0, msr 0:20103e1, primary cpu clock

First of all if there are some specific outputs that will reveal the
IO/CPU boundness of the workload, I'd like to give them too. I'm not
much familiar with diagnostic/analysis tools..

From host's POV:
----------------

Guest is idle:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
26117 root      20   0 2153m 175m 1356 S    5  0.5   0:33.57 qemu-kvm

Guest is configuring CUPS:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
26117 root      20   0 2129m 180m 1356 S  143  0.6   0:44.34 qemu-kvm (peak at 140,150~ %CPU)

load average reached 0.91 at the end of the configuration.

SMP view of top command shows that only Cpu2 and Cpu9 are involved,
other ones are zeroed (maybe coherent with -smp 2, don't have much idea):

Cpu2  : 28.4%us, 31.4%sy,  0.0%ni, 40.2%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si, 0.0%st
Cpu9  : 27.7%us, 26.7%sy,  0.0%ni, 45.5%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si, 0.0%st
