Can you at the very least share:

Thanks for your patience! I've attached a zip file with the info you
need. Additionally I've included the dmidecode of guest
(dmidecode_guest), host machine (dmidecode_host) and the domain info
of guest (libvirt.xml) in case they may be helpful. If you need further
info or any experiment I need to do, feel free to let me know! Now I
have access to the host machine so I can respond much faster.

- the boot log of the guest on its first kernel

Please check file boot_log_1st_kernel

Old kernel. It would have been better to use a vanilla v6.16, so that
we know exactly what you are running. I have zero interest in finding
out what 6.15.9-201.fc42.aarch64 corresponds to in real life.

- the boot log of the guest running kdump

boot_log_2nd_kernel

Same thing.

- the content of /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/$PID-xx/vgic*state* when
running both kernels

vgic-state_{1st,2nd}_kernel

What is the host running? It also looks like a pre-6.16 kernel, which
lacks important information.

- the QEMU command-line to get to run the whole thing

qemu_cmdline

I'm sorry, but that doesn't look like a command line as I know it. I
certainly cannot feed this to QEMU and reproduce your findings.

Now, there is *one* thing that is interesting:

The second vgic_state dump indicates that LPI 8225 is routed to
vcpu-3. Given that your guest boots into the second kernel on vcpu-0,
and that this is the only online vcpu at this stage, the LPI will
never be presented to the CPU (and the vgic has it as pending, which
is what I'd expect).

I'd suggest you instrument the second kernel to try and see why this
affinity is not changed.

Thanks,
