[PATCH 0/3] target-i386: kvm: Use env->mcg_cap when setting up MCE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Instead of overwriting env->mcg_cap, make kvm_arch_init_vcpu(),
use the value already set at the CPU object when initializing
MCE.

Except for the new "unsupported MCG_CAPS bits" warning, this
patch doesn't change any of the existing QEMU behavior. The
previous code set env->mcg_cap to:
  (MCE_CAP_DEF & ioctl(KVM_X86_GET_MCE_CAP_SUPPORTED)) | MCE_BANKS_DEF
and the new code still keeps it exactly the same, as env->mcg_cap
is already initialized as MCE_CAP_DEF|MCE_BANKS_DEF at
mce_init().

This will allow us to change mce_init() in the future, to
implement different defaults depending on CPU model, machine-type
or command-line parameters.

  target-i386: kvm: Use env->mcg_cap when setting up MCE
  target-i386: kvm: Print warning when clearing mcg_cap bits
