[Qemu-devel] [QEMU 1.2 PATCH] i386: kvm: have a predefined set of defaul


From: Eduardo Habkost
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [QEMU 1.2 PATCH] i386: kvm: have a predefined set of default KVM feature bits
Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:04:25 -0300

We can't simply expose the GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID results directly to the
guest, or the resulting guest-visible CPUID bits may change under the
guest's feet when we live-migrate.

We still have to implement proper per-machine-type migration
compatibility bits, but this at least is a workaround for cases where PV
EOI would be silently enabled after a host kernel upgrade.

We also have to implement proper check/warnings about unsupported bits
when using "-cpu check" or "-cpu enforce", because the default bits may
be silently disabled if the host kernel doesn't support them.
