[PATCH] target/i386: add missing bits to CR4_RESERVED_MASK


From: Daniel P . Berrangé
Subject: [PATCH] target/i386: add missing bits to CR4_RESERVED_MASK
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2021 18:50:33 +0100

Booting Fedora kernels with -cpu max hangs very early in boot. Disabling
the la57 CPUID bit fixes the problem. git bisect traced the regression to

  commit 213ff024a2f92020290296cb9dc29c2af3d4a221 (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)

    target/i386: Added consistency checks for CR4

    All MBZ bits in CR4 must be zero. (APM2 15.5)
    Added reserved bitmask and added checks in both
    helper_vmrun and helper_write_crN.

In this commit CR4_RESERVED_MASK is missing CR4_LA57_MASK and
two others. Adding this lets Fedora kernels boot once again.

I don't know the implications of CR4_VMXE_MASK and CR4_SMXE_MASK
being missing in CR4_RESERVED_MASK. It didn't cause any ill effects
either way, but I added them on the assumption that CR4_RESERVED_MASK
was supposed to contain all define bits.
