[Qemu-devel] [PATCH qom-cpu 03/11] target-i386: kvm: -cpu host: Use GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID for SVM features

[Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>]

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).
