I tried to mimic https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/5708609.
However, I don't see a way to download lava-guest.qcow2. So I just used
rootfs and kernel:

  /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -nographic -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:66:20 -net user -m 1024 -monitor none -kernel bzImage --append "root=/dev/sda  rootwait console=ttyS0,115200" -hda lkft-console-image-intel-corei7-64-20221019172733.rootfs.ext4 -m 4096 -smp 4 -nographic

And I ran perf test inside the guest, which ran fine.

Would it be possible for you to redo the experiment and see if you are able
to reproduce it consistently.

Thanks,
Ravi
