[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Fixes for -cpu host KVM/SVM feature initialization

[Eduardo Habkost]

This series has two very similar fixes for feature initizliation for "-cpu
host". This should allow us to make the check/enforce code check for host
support of KVM and SVM features, later.

Eduardo Habkost (2):
  target-i386: kvm: -cpu host: use GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID for SVM features
  target-i386: kvm: enable all supported KVM features for -cpu host

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] target-i386: kvm: -cpu host: use GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID for SVM features

[Eduardo Habkost]

The existing -cpu host code simply set every bit inside svm_features
(initializing it to -1), and that makes it impossible to make the
enforce/check options work properly when the user asks for SVM features
explicitly in the command-line.

So, instead of initializing svm_features to -1, use GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
to fill only the bits that are supported by the host (just like we do
for all other CPUID feature words inside kvm_cpu_fill_host()).

This will keep the existing behavior (as filter_features_for_kvm()
already uses GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to filter svm_features), but will allow
us to properly check for KVM features inside
kvm_check_features_against_host() later.

For example, we will be able to make this:

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu ...,+pfthreshold,enforce

refuse to start if the SVM "pfthreshold" feature is not supported by the
host (after we fix kvm_check_features_against_host() to check SVM flags
as well).

Is there no #define for this, similar to KVM_CPUID_FEATURES in 2/2?
FWIW indentation looks odd.

I believve KVM_CPUID_FEATURES is the exception, all other leaves have
their own numbers hardcoded in the code.

(The way I plan to fix this is to introduce the feature-array and a
CPUID leaf/register table for the feature-array, so kvm_cpu_fill_host(),
filter_features_for_kvm(), kvm_check_features_against_host() & similar
functions would always handle exactly the same set of CPUID leaves, by
simply looking at the table).


> FWIW indentation looks odd.

Oops, I intended to follow the existing style used for ext2_features and
ext3_features and use 8 spaces instead of 12. I will resubmit.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] target-i386: kvm: enable all supported KVM features for -cpu host

[Eduardo Habkost]

When using -cpu host, we don't need to use the kvm_default_features
variable, as the user is explicitly asking QEMU to enable all feature
supported by the host.

This changes the kvm_cpu_fill_host() code to use GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to
initialize the kvm_features field, so we get all host KVM features
enabled.

This will also allow use to properly check/enforce KVM features inside
kvm_check_features_against_host() later. For example, we will be able to
make this:

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu ...,+kvm_pv_eoi,enforce

refuse to start if kvm_pv_eoi is not supported by the host (after we fix
kvm_check_features_against_host() to check KVM flags as well).

1_2 and 1_3 compat machines diff on pv_eoi flag, with this patch 1_2 might
have it set.
Is it ok from compat machines pov?

It would be nice to have kvm_check_features_against_host() patch in this
series to verify that this patch and previous patch works as expected.

-cpu host is completely dependent on host hardware and kernel version,
there are no compatibility expectations.

The kvm_check_features_against_host() change would be a user-visible
behavior change, and I wanted to keep the changes minimal by now. (the
main reason I submitted this earlier is to make it easier to clean up
the init code for CPU subclasses)

I was planning to introduce those behavior changes only after
introducing the feature-word array, so the kvm_check_features_against_host()
code can become simpler and easier to review (instead of adding 4
additional items to the messy struct model_features_t array). But if you
think we can introduce those changes now, I will be happy to send a
series that changes that code as well.

It's still kind of unpleasant surprise if on the same host
"qemu-1.3 -cpu host -machine pc-1.2" and "qemu-1.3+ -cpu host -machine pc-1.2"
would give different pv_eoi feature default, where pv-eoi should be
available after -machine pc-1.2 by default.

It would be better if it and simplifying kvm_check_features_against_host()
were in here together.

Just like you may end up getting new features enabled by -cpu host after
upgrading the kernel, you may end up getting new features enabled by
-cpu host after upgrading qemu. If you don't like surprises, don't use
-cpu host.  ;-)

I don't think machine-types exist to avoid user surprise, they exist to
keep compatibility (which is not expected to happen when using -cpu
host). Keeping compatibility is hard enough in the cases where we really
need it, I don't think it is worth the extra work and complexity for an
use case where compatibility is not expected.

The best way I see to simplify kvm_check_features_against_host()
requires the feature words array patch, that touches _lots_ of code. I
wanted to avoid adding such an intrusive patch as a dependency.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Fixes for -cpu host KVM/SVM feature initialization

I am out of my field here to verify whether this is semantically correct
and whether any fallback code may be needed. However, this will conflict
with X86CPU subclasses, so I'd be interested in taking this through my
qom-cpu queue if there are acks from the KVM folks.

Andreas
