No description so people might not have realized the implications of this patch series.... This patch series is a pre-requisite for the future patches that address the Spectre vulnerability. Those QEMU patches will introduce various new CPU models. When the Intel microcode update is installed, we need to be sure that libvirt refreshes its cache of QEMU capabilities and so detects the new CPU feature bits the microcode added and refreshes its understanding of QEMU CPU models accordingly. See this series for the new CPU models: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-January/msg00282.html On Thu, Jan 04, 2018 at 03:58:07PM +0100, Jiri Denemark wrote: > Jiri Denemark (1): > cpu_x86: Rename virCPUx86MapInitialize > > Paolo Bonzini (4): > util: add virFileReadHeaderQuiet wrapper around virFileReadHeaderFD > util: introduce virHostCPUGetMicrocodeVersion > conf: include x86 microcode version in virsh capabilities > qemu: capabilities: force update if the microcode version does not > match > > src/conf/cpu_conf.c | 14 +++++++ > src/conf/cpu_conf.h | 1 + > src/cpu/cpu_x86.c | 17 +++++++-- > src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + > src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 40 +++++++++++++++++++- > src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 6 ++- > src/qemu/qemu_capspriv.h | 5 +++ > src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 9 ++++- > src/util/virfile.c | 19 ++++++++++ > src/util/virfile.h | 2 + > src/util/virhostcpu.c | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++ > src/util/virhostcpu.h | 2 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.2.2.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.3.1.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.4.2.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.5.3.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.6.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.7.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.1.1.x86_64.xml | 1 + > .../caps_2.10.0-gicv2.aarch64.xml | 1 + > .../caps_2.10.0-gicv3.aarch64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.10.0.ppc64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.10.0.s390x.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.10.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.4.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.5.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > .../caps_2.6.0-gicv2.aarch64.xml | 1 + > .../caps_2.6.0-gicv3.aarch64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.6.0.ppc64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.6.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.7.0.s390x.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.7.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.8.0.s390x.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.8.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.9.0.ppc64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.9.0.s390x.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.9.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + > tests/qemucapabilitiestest.c | 14 +++++-- > tests/qemucapsprobe.c | 2 +- > tests/testutilsqemu.c | 2 +- > 40 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) > > -- > 2.15.1 > > -- > libvir-list mailing list > libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
