Thanks for Gamal's and Kevin's reply. Here i'd like to provide more information: - My VM is running under KVM (KMOD 3.6); - qmp returns: virsh # qemu-monitor-command hrg_sles11_sp3_64_2U_ide --pretty '{"execute":"query-kvm"}' { "return": { "enabled": true, "present": true }, "id": "libvirt-18099" } - kmod ftrace returns: <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684996: kvm_emulate_insn: f0000:9:ff ff (real) <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684996: … [View More]kvm_inj_exception: #UD (0x0) <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684996: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684997: kvm_exit: reason EXCEPTION_NMI rip 0x9 info 0 80000306 <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684997: kvm_emulate_insn: f0000:9:ff ff (real) <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684997: kvm_inj_exception: #UD (0x0) <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684998: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 <...>-113789 [014] 858323.684998: kvm_exit: reason EXCEPTION_NMI rip 0x9 info 0 80000306 So, it seems at some points, guest executes an invalid opcode triggering kmod injects exception UD and seabios handle this exception through handle_hwpic1.

My test script is very easy: #!/bin/bash vmname=$1 while [ 1 ] do virsh reset $vmname & virsh reset $vmname & sleep 5 done 1. This problem seems have relations with PIC irq0 and host CPU feature: On one of my host, this problem never happens while on another, it's very easy to happen (both of hosts have the same kmod,qemu,libvirt and SeaBIOS, SeaVGABIOS, except for the CPU feature). 2.
