[PATCH 0/2] x86/xen: cpuid() cleanup

[Juergen Gross]

Reduce special casing of xen_cpuid() and disable DCA feature for pv
domains as it isn't supported under Xen.

Juergen Gross (2):
  x86/xen: don't indicate DCA support in pv domains
  x86/xen: use capabilities instead of fake cpuid values

[PATCH 1/2] x86/xen: don't indicate DCA support in pv domains

[Juergen Gross]

Xen doesn't support DCA (direct cache access) for pv domains. Clear
the corresponding capability indicator.

[PATCH 2/2] x86/xen: use capabilities instead of fake cpuid values

[Juergen Gross]

When running as pv domain xen_cpuid() is being used instead of
native_cpuid(). In xen_cpuid() the aperf/mperf feature is indicated
as not being present by special casing the related cpuid leaf.

Instead of delivering fake cpuid values clear the cpu capability bit
for aperf/mperf instead.

But now APERF/MPERF will be reported as supported by CPUID, won't it?

I think both of those can go to xen_set_cpu_features().

Yes. But this shouldn't be a problem as the kernel is always testing
X86_FEATURE_APERFMPERF for testing the support.

Okay. I'll move them.

I think we can convert some of the remaining cpuid bit modifications to
cpu capabilities as well.

But X86_FEATURE_APERFMPERF cap is set based on CPUID query.

Right. And setup_clear_cpu_cap() will result in removing the feature
from the capabilities (removes it from boot cpu capabilities at once
and is setting it in the mask which is negated and anded into the
capabilities after issuing the cpuid queries).
