Fail to freeze process

Hi kernel experts,

I am facing a suspend/resume issue with linux on top of jailhouse hypervisor on
ARM64 platform with 6.1 kernel.
Actually without enabling jailhouse hypervisor, the kernel suspend/resume well.
So it should be the jailhouse hypervisor introduce some interrupt/timer or else
bug cause this issue. But I have no idea for now what bug may introduce such
issue. So I wanna narrow and debug from linux side see why freeze time, then
move into jailhouse hypervisor to fix it.

I have try to enlarge freeze time to 90s, still has similar issue, process freeze
failure, the issue not happen every time, but after a few round suspend/resume,
it triggers. And the cpu running the process has a very large timer expiration value.
Even I use jtag to trigger the timer interrupt, the cpu runs into idle again.

I see the process has flag 0xa05, it has SIG Pending, but not sure why it could
not freeze.

Seems I have no idea to wakeup the cpu from idle and let it schedule.

Hope you have any ideas.
