Houston, we have May 15, 1953 (says guest when host uses cpufreq, and dies)

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

Is using cpufreq (i.e. with ondemand governor) on KVM host safe for guests?

I enabled cpufreq on the host, it scaled down the host CPU (Dual-Core 
AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2212) to 1 GHz from 2 GHz.

Guest (using 1 CPU) was still showing that it has a 2 GHz CPU in 
/proc/cpuinfo (I guess this value is read only once, when booting).

After about 2 hours I started "date" on the guest - it showed that it's 
year *1953*, after which I couldn't start any other command (the guest 
was technically alive - SSH connection to it didn't die - but I couldn't 
do anything).

Is it expected behaviour? Is it correct behaviour?

Not with your processor.  Intel processors should be fine and any AMD 
processor that's Barcelona/Phenom or newer.

Looks I'm a bad, bad, anti-environment CO2 contributor then.

 From a technical perspective, what are the problems with my CPU that it 
scales down on the host just fine, but makes the guests "return to the 
past"?

What kvm version are you using?  kvm-84 should fix this.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.

I still have kvm-83.

Thanks for the hint, I'll see how it works.

Whats the output of /proc/cpuinfo on the host? Does it contain the
constant_tsc flag?

Whats the output of
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
on the guest?

It doesn't contain this flag.
/proc/cpuinfo output - below.

It's OK as long as it will work.

- will Windows guests work?

- what CPU frequency will the guests show? Current host frequency? Host 
frequency from the moment the guest booted (i.e. right now the guest 
will show 1GHz even if the host is running at 2GHz, or the way around)?

They should. If they don't, please report.

Host frequency from the moment the guest booted, since the guest does
not receive frequency change notifications.

Is it possible (or is it planned) to pass frequency to the guest (the 
one which is displayed in /proc/cpuinfo)?

Someone may feel disappointed to see his/her brand new virtual guest has 
a CPU with so few MHz advertised in /proc/cpuinfo.

Possible, not planned AFAIK.

Thats a point.

Possible, right now? How?

Write a paravirt notification scheme.

Are you suggesting that one should use cpufreq on a CPU without a 
constant tsc?  Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Depends on the (guest) clock source ;)

tsc isn't going to do well obviously.

kvmclock is designed to handle tsc frequency changes just fine.
And with the kvm-84 kernel module it actually works correctly.

HTH,

So with Linux virtio guests I may have luck, but not so with Windows, 
which can't (yet?) use kvm-clock. Correct?
(it may be some time before I'm able to upgrade and check how it really 
works).

tsc isn't the only clocksource, there are also hpet and acpi (pm timer),
they shouldn't have trouble with tsc freq changes.  Dunno what windows
uses by default.

That's a bit low level.

I was thinking of a parameter to kvm (binary) which would pass the value 
to the guest.

It is not stable for me (although I did go through exactly the same routine with kvm-83) - I got an oops. 
I'm not sure if the problem is kvm or cpufreq.

This is what I did:
- stopped all kvm-83 guests, removed all kvm-83 modules
- inserted kvm-83 modules, started 9 guests with kvm-84 binary
- inserted cpufreq modules and set the governor to ondemand
- cat /proc/cpuinfo revealed that CPUs are still running at full speed, so I did:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_governor

but it didn't return and cat was in "D" state.

- I stopped all guests, removed kvm-84 modules, and got this oops:
