[PATCH v4 0/8] i386: Make Intel PT configurable

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

 



Initial virtualization of Intel PT was added by making it as fixed
feature set of ICX's capabilities. However, it breaks the Intel PT exposure
on SPR machine because SPR has less PT capabilities of
CPUID(0x14,1):EBX[15:0].

This series aims to make Intel PT configurable that named CPU model can
define its own PT feature set and "-cpu host/max" can use host pass-through
feature set of Intel PT.

At the same time, it also ensures existing named CPU model to generate
the same PT CPUID set as before to not break live migration.

Changes in v4:
- rebase to 51bdb0b57a2d "Merge tag 'pull-tcg-20230530' of https://gitlab.com/rth7680/qemu into staging"
- cleanup Patch 6 by updating the commit message and remove unnecessary
  handlng;

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20221208062513.2589476-1-xiaoyao.li@xxxxxxxxx/
- rebase to v7.2.0-rc4
- Add bit 7 and 8 of FEAT_14_0_EBX in Patch 3

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20220808085834.3227541-1-xiaoyao.li@xxxxxxxxx/
Changes in v2:
- split out 3 patches (per Eduardo's comment)
- determine if the named cpu model uses default Intel PT capabilities (to
  be compatible with the old behavior) by condition that all PT feature
  leaves are all zero.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20210909144150.1728418-1-xiaoyao.li@xxxxxxxxx/
