I expect GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to return WBNOINVD, because it indicates to userspace what is supported by KVM. Are there any expectations that GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID will also dictate what is enabled by default in some cases? In either case, your question applies to QEMU: why do we want WBNOINVD to be enabled by "-cpu host" by default and be part of QEMU's Icelake-* CPU model definitions? -- Eduardo
