EAX should be KVM_CPUID_FEATURES (0x40000001) not 0.
Added hypervisor-vendor=kvm0 to get the older CPUID result. kvm1 selects the newer one.
Why not just make "hypervisor-vendor=kvm" control only the hypervisor
vendor string, and support something like "kvm-hypervisor-level=0" to
restore the old cpuid_hv_level=0 behavior?
-cpu host,hypervisor-vendor=kvm,hypervisor-level=0
Does this.
Good. :-)
This is similar to the kvmclock case: it would allow us to make
"hypervisor-vendor=kvm" use saner values as default, but letting old
machine-types to override it for compatibility if required.
Right now since I am using env->cpuid_hv_level == 0 as a flag. This
means that:
-cpu host,hypervisor-level=0,hypervisor-vendor=kvm
-cpu host,hypervisor-vendor=kvm,hypervisor-level=0
end up with different CPUID data (Which I do not like). I will fix this in the next round.
Right. This has to be fixed.
Did you want me to drop kvm0 and kvm1?
Yes, if level is already configurable using the hypervisor-level
property, I don't see the need for kvm0 and kvm1.
If you make kvm_arch_init_vcpu() actually use those fields, you will end
up implementing what's required to allow migration compatibility to be
kept (the only thing missing is to make the CPU class a child of
DeviceState, and add hypervisor-level=0 to the existing machine-types).
:-)
You mean like
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg03402.html
and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg03405.html
already change kvm_arch_init_vcpu().
Yes! Sorry, I hadn't reviewed all of your previous series yet. :-)
I did not know that I need to
make the CPU class a child of DeviceState.
You don't. But we plan to do that, eventually, so we can put
CPU compatibility properties into machine-types.
Nor that I needed to add hypervisor-vendor=kvm,hypervisor-level=0 to
the existing machine-types. Since without specifying
hypervisor-level=0 it defaults to 0 and kvm_arch_init_vcpu() will
default to setting hypervisor-vendor=kvm.
What I would like to do is: to change the default to 0x40000001 (that's
the correct value), but make the pc-1.1 and older machine-types keep the
hypervisor-level=0 default for compatibility.
(But to be able to do that, we need to first make the CPU class a child
of DeviceState, so that's something to be done later)
Now that ([PATCH v5 00/17] Allow changing...):
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg03810.html
is released, this contains all that is left of the patch set. So there
will not be a v3. This patch set is withdrawn.
