Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH qom-cpu 3/3] target-i386: set level=4 on Conroe/Penryn/Nehalem
Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 17:23:55 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369686235-11090-4-git-send-email-ehabkost@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1369686235-11090-1-git-send-email-ehabkost@redhat.com>

The CPUID level value on Conroe, Penryn, and Nehalem are too low. This
causes at least one known problem: the -smp "threads" option doesn't
work as expect if level is < 4, because thread count information is
provided to the guest on CPUID[EAX=4,ECX=2].EAX

Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>

Testing: those level values have been in use on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
since version 6.0 (released in 2010). The fix wasn't submitted to QEMU
earlier because we didn't have a good mechanism and clear procedure to
update CPUID values of existing CPU models in QEMU.
