Also known as Paravirtualization CPUIDs. This is primarily done so that the guest will think it is running under vmware when hypervisor-vendor=vmware is specified as a property of a cpu. This depends on: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg01400.html As far as I know it is #4. It depends on (1) and (2) and (3). This change is based on: Microsoft Hypervisor CPUID Leaves: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542428%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Linux kernel change starts with: http://fixunix.com/kernel/538707-use-cpuid-communicate-hypervisor.html Also: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1205.0/00100.html VMware documention on CPUIDs (Mechanisms to determine if software is running in a VMware virtual machine): http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1009458 Changes from v3 to v4: Added CPUID_HV_LEVEL_HYPERV, CPUID_HV_LEVEL_KVM. Added CPUID_HV_VENDOR_HYPERV. Added hyperv as known hypservisor-vendor. Allow hypervisor-level to be 0. Changes from v2 to v3: Clean post to qemu-devel. Changes from v1 to v2: 1) Added 1/4 from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-08/msg05153.html Because Fred is changing jobs and so will not be pushing to get this in. It needed to be rebased, And I needed it to complete the testing of this change. 2) Added 2/4 because of the re-work I needed a way to clear all KVM bits, 3) The rework of v1. Make it fit into the object model re-work of cpu.c for x86. 4) Added 3/4 -- The split out of the code that is not needed for accel=kvm. Changes from v2 to v3: Marcelo Tosatti: Its one big patch, better split in logically correlated patches (with better changelog). This would help reviewers. So split 3 and 4 into 3 to 17. More info in change log. No code change.
