Hi Nguyen,

Pauls patch(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/kvm-ppc/list/?series=35017) yet to get merged in linux master as of now{f36b7534b833 (HEAD -> master, upstream/master) Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)}

Does ubuntu daily kernel include custom patches?

If it does not include custom patches and one reason why you do not hit the issue now, coz qemu disable cap-htm by default temporarily till the above kernel patches included, check if that is the case.

you can confirm the TM patches are included by explicitly start qemu-kvm command with cap-htm=on
