Subject: [PULL 08/25] target/i386: Exclude 'hv-syndbg' from 'hv-passthrough'
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2024 16:16:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241015141711.528342-9-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241015141711.528342-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

Windows with Hyper-V role enabled doesn't boot with 'hv-passthrough' when
no debugger is configured, this significantly limits the usefulness of the
feature as there's no support for subtracting Hyper-V features from CPU
flags at this moment (e.g. "-cpu host,hv-passthrough,-hv-syndbg" does not
work). While this is also theoretically fixable, 'hv-syndbg' is likely
very special and unneeded in the default set. Genuine Hyper-V doesn't seem
to enable it either.

Introduce 'skip_passthrough' flag to 'kvm_hyperv_properties' and use it as
one-off to skip 'hv-syndbg' when enabling features in 'hv-passthrough'
mode. Note, "-cpu host,hv-passthrough,hv-syndbg" can still be used if
needed.

As both 'hv-passthrough' and 'hv-syndbg' are debug features, the change
should not have any effect on production environments.
