Hi Sean,

Thanks for your reviewing.
I agreed with your patch you posted below. See my comments inline.

The kvm_cpuid_param structure is designed for getting cpu level, with ECX input

Just remove the field and use 0 directly.

Also, the parameter in function is_centaur_cpu() is also useless.

At this point would it make sense to drop @idx from do_cpuid_ent() and
its children?
I agree.

__do_cpuid_ent() in particular basically assumes @idx is
zero, e.g. I've had this patch laying around for over a year:

Subject: [PATCH] kvm: x86: add WARN_ON_ONCE(index!=0) in __do_cpuid_ent

Except for one outlier, function 7, all cases in __do_cpuid_ent and
its children assume that the index passed in is zero.  Furthermore,
the index is fully under KVM's control and all callers pass an index
of zero.  In other words, a non-zero index would indicate either a
bug in the caller or a new case that is expected to be handled.

So far, the @idx of do_cpuid_ent is really useless. It doesn't stand for
subleaf, if we see e.g. function 0x14, it is obvious. I even wonder why we need this @idx... It is confusing. For function 7, I agree that don't use @index, but newly defining @times as a local
variable, to stand for a subleaf that doesn't support, as spec says. I
post the codes as follows inline your patch.


 WARN
and return an error on a non-zero index and remove the now unreachable
code in function 7 for handling a non-zero index.
