Changes on v2: - Now both the kvm_mmu-disable and -cpu "enforce" changes are on the same series - Coding style fixes Git tree for reference: git://github.com/ehabkost/qemu-hacks.git cpu-enforce-all.v2 https://github.com/ehabkost/qemu-hacks/tree/cpu-enforce-all.v2 Patches 1-2 disable the "kvm_mmu" feature by default on pc-1.4. Host-side support for the kvm_mmu feature was removed from the kernel since v3.3 (released in March 2012), it was marked for removal since January 2011 and it's slower than shadow or hardware assisted paging (see kernel commit fb92045843). It doesn't make sense to keep it enabled by default. Also, keeping it enabled by default would cause unnecessary hassle when libvirt start using the "enforce" option. Patches 3-11 change the -cpu check/enforce code to work as it should: it will check every single CPUID bit to make sure it is supported by the host. The changes are a bit intrusive, but: - The longer we take to make "enforce" strict as it should (and make libvirt finally use it), more users will have VMs with migration-unsafe unpredictable guest ABIs. For this reason, I would like to get this into QEMU 1.4. - The changes in this series should affect only users that are already using the "enforce" flag, and I believe whoever is using the "enforce" flag really want the strict behavior introduced by this series.
