Subject: [PATCH-for-9.0 v2] hw/i386/pc: Deprecate 64-bit CPUs on ISA-only PC machine
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 17:54:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240327165456.34716-1-philmd@linaro.org> (raw)
Per Daniel suggestion [*]:
> isapc could arguably be restricted to just 32-bit CPU models,
> because we should not need it to support any feature that didn't
> exist prior to circa 1995. eg refuse to start with isapc, if 'lm'
> is present in the CPU model for example.
Display a warning when such CPU is used:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -S -M isapc -cpu Westmere
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Use of 64-bit CPU 'Westmere' is deprecated on the ISA-only PC machine
QEMU 8.2.91 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) q
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -S -M isapc -cpu athlon
QEMU 8.2.91 monitor - type 'help' for more information
