[PATCH 0/3] Add svm cpuid features to qemu-kvm

[PATCH 0/3] Add svm cpuid features to qemu-kvm

[Joerg Roedel]

Hi,

this patch-set adds the svm cpuid feature flags to qemu-kvm. With this
patch-set the npt feature-flag can be presented to the guest so that it will
use nested-paging when emulated by the host kvm. Please review, comment and/or
apply these patches :-)

Thanks,

	Joerg

[PATCH 1/3] qemu-kvm: Invert svm-flag setting logic

[Joerg Roedel]

This patch changes the setting logic for the svm bit in
qemu-kvm. The bit is now explicitly set on -enable-nesting
instead of masked out if the parameter is not supplied.

I think we should get rid of kvm_nested and -enable-nesting. Instead, we should enable the SVM bit in the "host" and "qemu64" cpu types, but not in "kvm64". This way users are safe to not use nested svm, but can choose to do so if they like.

Also, it should be possible to do something like -cpu kvm64,flags=+svm. Without having to mess with -enable-nesting.

I agree that its much nicer for mgmt tools if svm/vmx CPU flags can just be
toggled in the normal manner. Might we also want to have a enable/disable
nesting flag, so we can mirror the way real hardware lets you disable virt
in the BIOS even when the CPU(s) have the vmx/svm flags set ?

Daniel

I don't see how that's useful. We don't model anything like this in the kvm kernel module, so whatever we expose in user space would not be useful for detection testing. Also I'm fairly sure you either want nesting or you don't :). And if you want nesting, you probably want -cpu host too, since you lose migration anyways.

Why do you lost migration?

Is that part fixed already? Joerg worked so hard on so many things that I lost track of what works and what doesn't :).

When migrating inside l2 context, we're missing information. My idea back then was to force the l1 guest out of l2 context every time we want to migrate, but I'm not sure this has happened. Even then I'm not sure we're transferring the GIF.

I thought that was implemented, but not sure (though it isn't clean

Migration with nested-svm doesn't work reliably today. But that is on my

I agree, -enable-nesting is redundant with -cpu ,+svm.

This patchset makes -enable-nesting pratically a synonym for -cpu ,+svm.
So we can safely remove -enable-nesting in the future.

Why not just not introduce it? :) It's always hard to get rid of legacy.

Oh, because this is for qemu-kvm. Uh - how about a nice little patch that makes things work in qemu.git, leave out the -enable-nesting piece and just keep the -enable-nesting backwards compat patch in qemu-kvm.git - or maybe even remove it there.

I can do this. Is it better to merge all this stuff into qemu.git
instead of qemu-kvm.git? Then I target again for qemu.git.
