Introducing new QMP command 'query-x86-cpuid'. This command can be used to
get virtualized cpu model info generated by QEMU during VM initialization in
the form of cpuid representation.
Diving into more details about virtual CPU generation: QEMU first parses '-cpu'
command line option. From there it takes the name of the model as the basis for
feature set of the new virtual CPU. After that it uses trailing '-cpu' options,
that state if additional cpu features should be present on the virtual CPU or
excluded from it (tokens '+'/'-' or '=on'/'=off').
After that QEMU checks if the host's cpu can actually support the derived
feature set and applies host limitations to it.
After this initialization procedure, virtual CPU has it's model and
vendor names, and a working feature set and is ready for identification
instructions such as CPUID.
To learn exactly how virtual CPU is presented to the guest machine via CPUID
instruction, new QMP command can be used. By calling 'query-x86-cpuid'
command, one can get a full listing of all CPUID leaves with subleaves which are
supported by the initialized virtual CPU.
Other than debug, the command is useful in cases when we would like to
utilize QEMU's virtual CPU initialization routines and put the retrieved
values into kernel CPUID overriding mechanics for more precise control
over how various processes perceive its underlying hardware with
container processes as a good example.
The command is specific to x86. It is currenly only implemented for KVM acceleator.
Output format:
The output is a plain list of leaf/subleaf argument combinations, that
return 4 words in registers EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX.
Use example:
qmp_request: {
"execute": "query-x86-cpuid"
}
qmp_response: {
"return": [
{
"eax": 1073741825,
"edx": 77,
"in-eax": 1073741824,
"ecx": 1447775574,
"ebx": 1263359563
},
{
"eax": 16777339,
"edx": 0,
"in-eax": 1073741825,

},
{

"edx": 1231384169,
"in-eax": 0,

"ebx": 1970169159
},
{
"eax": 198354,
"edx": 126614527,
"in-eax": 1,
"ecx": 2176328193,
"ebx": 2048
},
....
{
"eax": 12328,
"edx": 0,
"in-eax": 2147483656,
"ecx": 0,
"ebx": 0
}
]
}

This patch is next version (v12) of a patch with a changed subject
Previous subject: [PATCH v11] qapi: introduce 'query-kvm-cpuid' QMP command
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20210617122723.8670-1-valeriy.vdovin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Supersedes: 20210617122723.8670-1-valeriy.vdovin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
v2: - Removed leaf/subleaf iterators.
- Modified cpu_x86_cpuid to return false in cases when count is
greater than supported subleaves.
v3: - Fixed structure name coding style.
- Added more comments
- Ensured buildability for non-x86 targets.
v4: - Fixed cpu_x86_cpuid return value logic and handling of 0xA leaf.
- Fixed comments.
- Removed target check in qmp_query_cpu_model_cpuid.
v5: - Added error handling code in qmp_query_cpu_model_cpuid
v6: - Fixed error handling code. Added method to query_error_class
v7: - Changed implementation in favor of cached cpuid_data for
KVM_SET_CPUID2
v8: - Renamed qmp method to query-kvm-cpuid and some fields in response.
- Modified documentation to qmp method
- Removed helper struct declaration
v9: - Renamed 'in_eax' / 'in_ecx' fields to 'in-eax' / 'in-ecx'
- Pasted more complete response to commit message.
v10:
- Subject changed
- Fixes in commit message
- Small fixes in QMP command docs
v11:
- Added explanation about CONFIG_KVM to the commit message.
v12:
- Changed title from query-kvm-cpuid to query-x86-cpuid
- Removed CONFIG_KVM ifdefs
- Added detailed error messages for some stub/unimplemented cases.
