[Qemu-devel] [PATCH qemu v2] qemu-options: Add documentation about PPC64


From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH qemu v2] qemu-options: Add documentation about PPC64's "-cpu compat" option
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 19:33:21 +1000

Since 8dfa3a5e "target-ppc: Add "compat" CPU option" (which was a part of
client-architecture-support patchset) there is a "compat" option
of "-cpu". However it was not documented at all and this is what this
patch is trying to do.

After the patch:

address@hidden ~]$ ./qemu-system-ppc64 --help | grep -a2 -- "-cpu cpu"
-cpu cpu[,compat=power6|power7|power8]
                select CPU ('-cpu help' for list)
                compat= processor compatibility mode


ka1:/scratch/alexey/p/qemu-build/x86_x86_64$ 
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -help | grep -a2 -- "-cpu cpu"
-cpu cpu        select CPU ('-cpu help' for list)
-smp [cpus=]n[,maxcpus=cpus][,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets]
                set the number of CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

qemu-doc.html:

-cpu model[,compat=mode]
    Select CPU model (-cpu help for list and additional feature selection)

    compat=power6|power7|power8
        Enables POWER architecture compatibility mode. ‘power6’ enables 
PowerISA 2.05-compatibility mode, ‘power7’ - 2.06, ‘power8’ - 2.07. ‘mode’ is 
only supported by a PPC64-pseries machine.
