Illegal instruction when I want to numactl --cpubind=0 --membind=1 to CXL Memory Description of problem: I ran QEMU for simulating CXL DRAM and when I tried to run `numactl --cpubind=0 --membind=1 ls` , I got `Illegal instruction` The numa node 1 was the CXL DRAM simulated by QEMU. > root@8003:~# numactl -H > available: 2 nodes (0-1) > node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 > node 0 size: 32090 MB > node 0 free: 31325 MB > node 1 cpus: > node 1 size: 32768 MB > node 1 free: 32768 MB > node distances: > node 0 1 > 0: 10 20 > 1: 20 10 When I ran on numa node 1, no failed > root@8003:~# numactl --membind=0 ls > ndctl When I ran on numa node 1(CXL DRAM),it failed. > root@8003:~# numactl --membind=1 ls > [ 913.975032] traps: ls[667] trap invalid opcode ip:7fdec255d180 sp:7ffd3c507288 error:0 in ld-linux-x86-64.so.2[7fdec2546000+2a000] > **Illegal instruction** Steps to reproduce: 1. start the guest 2. cxl list (we could see the simulated CXL DRAM) > root@8003:~# cxl list > [ > { > "memdev":"mem0", > "ram_size":34359738368, > "serial":0, > "host":"0000:0d:00.0" > } > ] 3. cxl create-region -t ram -d decoder0.0 -m mem0 4. daxctl reconfigure-device dax0.0 --mode=system-ram 5. numactl -H > root@8003:~# numactl -H > available: 2 nodes (0-1) > node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 > node 0 size: 32090 MB > node 0 fr > ee: 31254 MB > node 1 cpus: > node 1 size: 32768 MB > node 1 free: 32768 MB > node distances: > node 0 1 > 0: 10 20 > 1: 20 10 6. numactl --membind=1 ls > root@8003:~# numactl --membind=1 ls > [38441.892140] **traps: ls[861] trap invalid opcode ip:7f15db6ac180 sp:7ffc648755c8 **error:0 in ld-linux-x86-64.so.2[7f15db695000+2a000] > **Illegal instruction** Additional information: When I run dmesg, I found an error. > root@8003:~# dmesg|grep error > [ 2.321130] platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2 Since my CPU is a Xeon III, not a Xeon IV with CXL support, **I'm wondering if it's because the CPU doesn't support CXL instructions, or if the Xeon III can emulate it, just because my settings don't make sense**. If this is my settings problem, could you help me to deal this? Or it just caused by my Xeon III,I will update it to Xeon IV.
