Bug #13304
bhyve ioport handling bungled on reinit
100%
Description
despair reports via IRC:
02:02 <despair> bhyve zones fail to reboot
02:02 <despair> { "time": "2020-11-11T08:01:43.985434000Z", "v": 0, "hostname": "sun-srv2", "name": "zoneadmd","pid": 13922, "level": 30, "msg":"Assertion failed: err == 0, file pm.c, line 453, function pmtmr_init\n", "stream":"stderr" }
02:03 <despair> am on latest release
02:04 <despair> to reproduce: install any operating system into a bhyve zone (bsd, illumos, linux, windows, etc)
02:04 <despair> after first boot, reboot vm
02:04 <despair> expected: system reboots
02:04 <despair> got: system reboots then halts immediately on that assertion
This is a symptom of the ioport handlers not being setup correctly when the VM is reinitialized on a reboot condition.

Without bhyve zones in my illumos test environment, I had missed this behavior in my OS smoke tests. After rewiring my run scripts to exercise the reinit path, I observed the assert(), just as despair was.

Running a platform with the proposed fix in place, I was able to take all my test guests through the reinit (reboot) path without seeing the issue. This was done on a DEBUG kernel, and after rebooting then halting the guests, I dumped the host to confirm that ::findleaks was clean.

To clarify, this wasn't a question of bhyve-zones vs bhyve-not-in-a-zone. Rather it was a question of re-execing bhyve in order to reinitialize the guest as if it had rebooted. bhyve-branded zones do that automatically (re-exec bhyve when it exits with EXIT_SUCCESS). The rudimentary scripts I was using to run bhyve in the global zone (because bhyve zones aren't part of vanilla illlumos) did not exercise this path.
