Michael reported a qemu-kvm SIGSEGV at shutdown:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x411d0940 (LWP 14446)]

Problem is kvm_main_loop_wait(env, 0) can process the stop request
(signalling iothread that vcpu is stopped, so its OK to exit) and
continue to kvm_cpu_exec.

Make sure cpu is not stopped before proceeding to kvm_cpu_exec.

I wonder if calling kvm_cpu_exec() after kvm_main_loop_wait() will fix
the problem?

Yeah, that would also do it.

Reorder kvm_main_loop_wait and kvm_cpu_exec, as suggested by Gleb.

This will miss an event at the very beginning of the loop (powerdown 
requested before we had a chance to spin up?).  I think it should be 
fine since there will be a pending signal which will break us out of 
kvm_cpu_exec() before it has a chance to do anything (i.e. spin in the 
guest).

So, I think it's fine, but please double check the above.

That can happen but only with the unpatched version, where
kvm_main_loop_wait eats the signal, sets env->stopped = 1, 
and proceeds to kvm_cpu_exec.
With the patch, this is not the case.

As before, the signal sender will send an IPI with smp_send_reschedule
(and vcpu_enter_guest checks sigpending after disabling interrupts).

Fair enough, double bugfix; applied, thanks.
