John / Peter
I'm running an application in a Linux guest under bhyve that is core
dumping because of an Illegal instruction. Running a simplified case in gdb
shows:
$ gdb -q rdtscp
Reading symbols from rdtscp...done.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/tuffli/rdtscp
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffeae8) at rdtscp.c:12
12 time1 = __builtin_ia32_rdtscp(&dummy);
(gdb) l
7 main(int argc, char *argv[])
8 {
9 uint64_t time1, time2;
10 uint32_t dummy;
11
12 time1 = __builtin_ia32_rdtscp(&dummy);
13 usleep(1000);
14 time2 = __builtin_ia32_rdtscp(&dummy);
15
16 printf("time delta %lu\n", time2 - time1);
17
18 return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
19 }
This same program works on the FreeBSD 12-stable machine hosting the VM as
well as another bare-metal Linux host. Poking around in the vmm code, I
found
/*
* Hide rdtscp/ia32_tsc_aux until we know how
* to deal with them.
*/
regs[3] &= ~AMDID_RDTSCP;
break;
in sys/amd64/vmm/x86.c which I _think_ is relevant because lscpu doesn't
show the rdtscp flag. If this is the root cause, what would need to be done
to implement this?
