The selectors are c001000-c001003, and the counters are c001004-c001007. I've verified that the MSRs are there and working by manually setting the MSRs with msr-tools to count cycles. + +The processor does not support the extended perfctr or the perfctr_nb. These are in cpuid leaf 8000_0001. Qemu also sees that these cpuid flags are not set, when I try launching with -cpu host,perfctr_core,check. However, this flag is only for the extended perfctr MSRs, which also happen to map the original four counters at c0010200. + +When I run a Guest OS, that OS is unable to use the perf counter registers from c001000-7. rdmsr and wrmsr complete, but the results are always 0. By contrast, a wrmsr to one of the c0010200 registers causes a general protection fault (as it should, since those aren't supported). + +Kernel: 3.14.0-gentoo +Qemu: 2.0.0 (gentoo) and also with 2.0.50 (commit 06b4f00d5) +Qemu command: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 8 -m 1024 -nographic -monitor /dev/pts/4 mnt/hdd.img +cat /proc/cpuinfo: +processor : 3 +vendor_id : AuthenticAMD +cpu family : 16 +model : 4 +model name : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor +stepping : 3 +cpu MHz : 800.000 +cache size : 512 KB +physical id : 0 +siblings : 4 +core id : 3 +cpu cores : 4 +apicid : 3 +initial apicid : 3 +fpu : yes +fpu_exception : yes +cpuid level : 5 +wp : yes +flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc rep_good nopl nonstop_tsc extd_apicid pni monitor cx16 popcnt lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt hw_pstate npt lbrv svm_lock nrip_save +bogomips : 6803.79 +TLB size : 1024 4K pages +clflush size : 64 +cache_alignment : 64 +address sizes : 48 bits physical, 48 bits virtual +power management: ts ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps hwpstate + +thanks. + +i don't understand this in detail, but since the last update of qemu i can't start my virtual win7 machine. i use gnome-boxes 3.24. qemu 2.8 works, 2.9 leads to this: +Preformatted text(gnome-boxes:4301): Boxes-WARNING **: machine.vala:611: Failed to start win7: Unable to start domain: the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide required features: monitor, rdtscp, svm + +i ask, because i also use an phenom 2 x4 and if this is the bug i don't need to opan a new one. + +Triaging old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this issue with the latest version of QEMU?
