When VCPU #0 exits (e.g. due to KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT), it sends
SIGKVMEXIT to all other VCPUs, waits for them to exit, then tears down
any remaining context. The signalling of SIGKVMEXIT is critical to
forcing VCPUs to shut down in response to a system event (e.g. PSCI
SYSTEM_OFF).

VCPUs other that VCPU #0 simply exit in kvm_cpu_thread without forcing
other CPUs to shut down. Thus if a system event is taken on a VCPU other
than VCPU #0, the remaining CPUs are left online. This results in KVM
tool not exiting as expected when a system event is taken on a VCPU
other than VCPU #0 (as may happen if the guest panics).

Fix this by signalling SIGKVMEXIT to VCPU #0 when a system event is
taken on other CPUs, so that it may tear things down as usual.

Could we use kvm_cpu__reboot() instead ?

That sends SIGKVMEXIT to all the VCPUs, and is used by the other
paths which trigger a reboot/shutdown.

Sure; I'll spin a v2 with that and an updated comment.

Thanks,
