From 4901314d0dd9904225b7567fc282793c039f2efa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Denemark Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 15:04:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cpu_map: Remove intel-pt from x86 CPU models As explained in QEMU commit 4c257911dcc7c4189768e9651755c849ce9db4e8 intel-pt features should never be included in the CPU models as it was not supported by KVM back then and even once it started to be supported, users have to enable it by passing pt_mode=1 parameter to kvm_intel module. The Icelake-* CPU models with intel-pt included were added to QEMU 3.1.0 and removed right in the following 4.0.0 release (and even in 3.1.1 maintenance release). In libvirt 6.10.0 I introduced 'removed' attribute for features included in our CPU model definitions which we can use to drop intel-pt from Icelake-* CPU models. Back then I explained we can safely do so only for features which could never be enabled, which is not the case of intel-pt. Theoretically, it could be possible to create an environment in which QEMU would enable intel-pt without asking for it explicitly: it would need to use a new enough kernel (not available at the time of QEMU 3.1.0) and pt_mode KVM parameter in combination with QEMU 3.1.0 running a domain with q35 machine type and all that on a CPU which didn't really exist at that time. Migrating such domain to a host with newer SW stack including libvirt with this patch applied would result in incompatible guest ABI (the virtual CPU would lose intel-pt). However, QEMU changed its CPU models unconditionally and thus migration would not work even without this patch. That said, it is safe to follow QEMU and remove the feature from Icelake-* CPU models in our cpu_map. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1853972 Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark Reviewed-by: Tim Wiederhake --- src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client-noTSX.xml | 2 +- src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client.xml | 2 +- src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server-noTSX.xml | 2 +- src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server.xml | 2 +- tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-guest.xml | 1 + tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-host.xml | 1 + .../cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-3.1.0.args | 2 +- .../cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-latest.args | 2 +- 8 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client-noTSX.xml b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client-noTSX.xml index 65e648ae21..217adba4f2 100644 --- a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client-noTSX.xml +++ b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client-noTSX.xml @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ - + diff --git a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client.xml b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client.xml index 5cf32e91fa..b725227f46 100644 --- a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client.xml +++ b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Client.xml @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ - + diff --git a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server-noTSX.xml b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server-noTSX.xml index 34a0f7c18c..7c9c32c977 100644 --- a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server-noTSX.xml +++ b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server-noTSX.xml @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ - + diff --git a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server.xml b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server.xml index 1ee4ea9cd4..b4685bead0 100644 --- a/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server.xml +++ b/src/cpu_map/x86_Icelake-Server.xml @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ - + diff --git a/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-guest.xml b/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-guest.xml index 3a71b28cfb..7fcd20d26d 100644 --- a/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-guest.xml +++ b/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-guest.xml @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ + diff --git a/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-host.xml b/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-host.xml index 1582de0422..07e8f8bc24 100644 --- a/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-host.xml +++ b/tests/cputestdata/x86_64-cpuid-Ice-Lake-Server-host.xml @@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ + diff --git a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-3.1.0.args b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-3.1.0.args index 96d4306238..b69bfe0f0f 100644 --- a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-3.1.0.args +++ b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-3.1.0.args @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none \ -object secret,id=masterKey0,format=raw,\ file=/tmp/lib/domain--1-test/master-key.aes \ -machine pc-i440fx-3.1,accel=kvm,usb=off,dump-guest-core=off \ --cpu Icelake-Server,pconfig=off \ +-cpu Icelake-Server,pconfig=off,intel-pt=off \ -m 214 \ -overcommit mem-lock=off \ -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 \ diff --git a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-latest.args b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-latest.args index a512623af6..64f223bee3 100644 --- a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-latest.args +++ b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/cpu-Icelake-Server-pconfig.x86_64-latest.args @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none \ -object secret,id=masterKey0,format=raw,\ file=/tmp/lib/domain--1-test/master-key.aes \ -machine pc,accel=kvm,usb=off,dump-guest-core=off,memory-backend=pc.ram \ --cpu Icelake-Server \ +-cpu Icelake-Server,intel-pt=off \ -m 214 \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=pc.ram,size=224395264 \ -overcommit mem-lock=off \
