While the check is appropriate for eg. the x86 and generic drivers,
there are some valid ppc64 guest configurations where the CPU
model is supposed to be NULL.
Moving this check from the generic code to the drivers makes it
possible to accomodate both use cases.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251927
Not all combinations of host CPU models and compatibility modes
are valid, so we need to make sure we don't try to do something
that QEMU will reject.
Moreover, we need to apply a different logic to guests using
host-model and host-passthrough modes when testing them for host
compatibility.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251927
If a guest CPU is defined using
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
the <model> sub-element will contain the compatibility mode to use.
That means we can't just copy the host CPU model on cpuUpdate(),
otherwise we'll overwrite that information and migration of such
guests will fail.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251927
Unlike what happens on x86, on ppc64 you can't mix and match CPU
features to obtain the guest CPU you want regardless of the host
CPU, so the concept of model fallback doesn't apply.
Make sure CPU definitions emitted by the driver, eg. as output of
the cpuBaseline() and cpuUpdate() calls, reflect this fact.
All previously recognized CPU models (POWER7_v2.1, POWER7_v2.3,
POWER7+_v2.1 and POWER8_v1.0) are internally converted to the
corrisponding generation name so that existing guests don't stop
working.
Use multiple PVRs per CPU model to reduce the number of models we
need to keep track of.
Remove specific CPU models (eg. POWER7+_v2.1): the corresponding
generic CPU model (eg. POWER7) should be used instead to ensure
the guest can be booted on any compatible host.
Get rid of all the entries that did not match any of the CPU
models supported by QEMU, like power8 and power8e.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250977
This will allow us to perform PVR matching more broadly, eg. consider
both POWER8 and POWER8E CPUs to be the same even though they have
different PVR values.
This ensures comparison of two CPU definitions will be consistent
regardless of the fact that it is performed using cpuCompare() or
cpuGuestData(). The x86 driver uses the same exact code.
Limitations of the POWER architecture mean that you can't run
eg. a POWER7 guest on a POWER8 host when using KVM. This applies
to all guests, not just those using VIR_CPU_MATCH_STRICT in the
CPU definition; in fact, exact and strict CPU matching are
basically the same on ppc64.
This means, of course, that hosts using different CPUs have to be
considered incompatible as well.
Change ppc64Compute(), called by cpuGuestData(), to reflect this
fact and update test cases accordingly.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250977
ppc64Compute(), called by cpuNodeData(), is used not only to retrieve
the driver-specific data associated to a guest CPU definition, but
also to check whether said guest CPU is compatible with the host CPU.
If the user is not interested in the CPU data, it's perfectly fine
to pass a NULL pointer instead of a return location, and the
compatibility data returned should not be affected by this. One of
the checks, specifically the one on CPU model name, was however
only performed if the return location was non-NULL.
Use briefer checks, eg. (!model) instead of (model == NULL), and
avoid initializing to NULL a pointer that would be assigned in
the first line of the function anyway.
Also remove a pointless NULL assignment.
No functional changes.
Use the ppc64Driver prefix for all functions that are used to
fill in the cpuDriverPPC64 structure, ie. those that are going
to be called by the generic CPU code.
This makes it clear which functions are exported and which are
implementation details; it also gets rid of the ambiguity that
affected the ppc64DataFree() function which, despite what the
name suggested, was not related to ppc64DataCopy() and could
not be used to release the memory allocated for a
virCPUppc64Data* instance.
No functional changes.
Only the symbols exported by the driver have been updated;
the driver implementation itself still uses the old names
internally.
No functional changes.
The driver only supports VIR_ARCH_PPC64 and VIR_ARCH_PPC64LE.

For Intel and PowerPC the implementation is calling a cpu driver

The correct behavior is to use libvirt API functionality to perform such
a inter-driver call.
This patch introduces a new cpu driver API function getModels() to
retrieve the cpu models. The currect implementation to process the
cpu_map XML content is transferred to the INTEL and PowerPC cpu driver
specific API functions.
Additionally processing the cpu_map XML file is not safe due to the fact
that the cpu map does not exist for all architectures. Therefore it is
better to encapsulate the processing in the architecture specific cpu
drivers.

IBM Power processors differ uniquely across generations (such as power6,
power7, power8). Each generation signifies a new PowerISA version
that exhibits features unique to that generation.
The higher 16 bits of PVR for IBM Power processors encode the CPU
generation, while the CPU chip (sub)version is encoded in lower 16 bits.
For all practical purposes of launching a VM, we care about the
generation which the vCPU will belong to, and not specifically the chip
version. This patch updates the libvirt PVR check to reflect this
relationship. It allows libvirt to select the right CPU generation
in case the exact match for a a specific CPU is not found.
Hence, there will no longer be a need to add each PowerPC CPU model to
cpu_map.xml; just adding entry for the matching ISA generation will
suffice.
It also contains changes to cpu_map.xml since processor generations
as understood by QEMU compat mode go as "power6", "power7" or "power8"

did not work if the resulting guest CPU would disable some features
present in its base model. This patch makes sure we won't try to add
such features twice.
This patch allows libvirt user to specify 'host-passthrough'
cpu mode while using qemu/kvm backend on aarch64.
It uses 'host' as a CPU model name instead of some other stub
(correct CPU detection is not implemented yet) to allow libvirt
user to specify 'host-model' cpu mode as well.

(crobinso: fix some indentation)
Some of the emulator features are presented in the <features> element in
the domain XML although they are virtual CPUID feature bits when
presented to the guest. To avoid confusing the users with these
features, as they are not configurable via the <cpu> element, this patch
adds an internal array where those can be stored privately instead of
exposing them in the XML.
Additionaly KVM feature bits are added as example usage of this code.
The CPUID functions were stored in multiple arrays according to a
specified prefix of those. This made it very hard to add another prefix
to store KVM CPUID features (0x40000000). Instead of hardcoding a third
array this patch changes the approach used:
The code is refactored to use a single array where the CPUID functions
are stored ordered by the cpuid function so that they don't depend on
the specific prefix and don't waste memory. The code is also less
complex using this approach. A trateoff to this is the change from O(N)
complexity to O(N^2) in x86DataAdd and x86DataSubtract. The rest of the
functions were already using O(N^2) algorithms.
Until now the map was loaded from the XML definition file every time a
operation on the flags was requested. With the introduciton of one shot
initializers we can store the definition forever (as it will never
change) instead of parsing it over and over again.
This makes virCPUx86DataAddCPUID, virCPUx86DataFree, and
virCPUx86MakeData available for direct usage outside of cpu driver in
tests and the new qemu monitor that will request the actual CPU
definition from a running qemu instance.
This patch adds cpuDataFormat and cpuDataParse APIs to be used in unit
tests for testing APIs that deal with virCPUData. In the x86 world, this
means we can now store/load arbitrary CPUID data in the test suite to
check correctness of CPU related APIs that could not be tested before.

'const fooPtr' is the same as 'foo * const' (the pointer won't
change, but it's contents can). But in general, if an interface
is trying to be const-correct, it should be using 'const foo *'

Until now CPU features inherited from a specified CPU model could only
be overridden with 'disable' policy. With this patch, any explicitly
specified feature always overrides the same feature inherited from a CPU
model regardless on the specified policy.
The CPU in x86-exact-force-Haswell.xml would previously be incompatible
with x86-host-SandyBridge.xml CPU even though x86-host-SandyBridge.xml
provides all features required by x86-exact-force-Haswell.xml.

Until now, the "host-model" cpu mode couldn't be influenced. This patch

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
The cpu_map.xml file is there to separate CPU model definitions from the
code. Having the only interesting data for PowerPC models only in the
source code. This patch moves this data to the XML file and removes the
hardcoded list completely.
PowerPC CPUs are either identical or incompatible and thus we just need
to look up the right model for given PVR without pretending we have
several candidates which we may choose from.
The function is also renamed as ppcDecode to match other functions in
PowerPC CPU driver.
Baseline API is supposed to return guest CPU definition that can be used
on any of the provided host CPUs. Since PowerPC CPUs are either
identical or incompatible, the API just needs to check that all provided
CPUs are identical. Previous implementation was completely bogus.
The function is also renamed as ppcBaseline to match other functions in
PowerPC CPU driver.
When ppcVendorLoad fails to parse the vendor element for whatever
reason, it is supposed to ignore it and return 0 rather than -1. The
patch also removes PowerPC vendor string from the XML as it is not
actually used for anything.
Make getting node CPU data for PowerPC unsupported on other
architectures. The function is also renamed as ppcNodeData to match

This makes code easier to read, by avoiding lines longer than

Qemu has added some new feature flags. This patch adds them to libvirt.
The new features are for the cpuid function 0x7 that takes an argument
in the ecx register. Currently only 0x0 is used as the argument so I was
lazy and I just clear the registers to 0 before calling cpuid. In future
when there maybe will be some other possible arguments, we will need to

-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
Then checked for nonsense.
The whole command looks like this:

Using inheritance, this patch cleans up the cpu_map.xml file and also
sorts all CPU features according to the feature and registry
values. Model features are sorted the same way as foeatures in the
specification.
Also few models that are related were organized together and parts of
the XML are marked with comments
AMD Bulldozer (or Opteron_G4 as called in QEMU) was added to the list
of cpu models, flags were taken from upstream qemu cpu specifications
and should be sorted by bit values (or first occurence in the feature
specification part of cpu_map.xml).
Based on QEMU upstream commit 885bb0369a4f0abe2c0185178f3cb347cb02cdf1.
We found few more AMD-specific features in cpu64-rhel* models that
made it impossible to start qemu guest on Intel host (with this
setting) even though qemu itself starts correctly with them.
This impacts one test, thus the fix in tests/cputestdata/.
In qemu there are 2 cpu models (cpu64-rhel5 and cpu64-rhel6) not
supported by libvirt. This patch adds the support with the flags
specifications from /usr/share/qemu-kvm/cpu-model/cpu-x86_64.conf
The only difference is that AMD-specific features are removed so
the processor type is not vendor-specific. Those features are either
emulated or ignored by qemu if host CPU doesn't support them.

respectively.
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag for virDomainGetXMLDesc may be used to
get updated custom mode guest CPU definition in case it depends on host
CPU. This patch implements the same behavior for host-model and
host-passthrough CPU modes.
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.
Add support for newly supported Intel cpu features. Newly supported
flags are: pclmuldq, dtes64, smx, fma, pdcm, movbe, xsave, osxsave and
avx. This adds support for Intel's Sandy Bridge platform.
To add support for running libvirt on PowerPC, a CPU driver for the
PowerPC platform must be added.
Most generic cpu driver routines such as CPU compare, decode, etc
are based on CPUID comparison and are not relevant for non-x86
platforms.
Here, we introduce stubs for relevant PowerPC routines invoked by libvirt.

We already have virAsprintf, so picking a similar name helps for

So far, CPUID data were stored in two different data structures. First
of them was a structure allowing direct access for CPUID data according
to function number and the second was a plain array of struct
cpuX86cpuid. This was a silly design which resulted in converting data
from one type to the other and back again or implementing similar
functionality for both data structures.
The patch leaves only the direct access structure. This makes the code
both smaller and more maintainable since operations on different objects
can use common low-level operations.
All 57 tests for cpu subsystem still pass after this rewrite.
When only some host CPUs given to cpuBaseline contain <vendor> element,
baseline CPU should not contain it. Otherwise the result would not be
compatible with the host CPUs without vendor. CPU vendors are still
taken into account when computing baseline CPU, it's just removed from
the result.
Recent CPU models were specified using invalid vendor element
<vendor>NAME</vendor>, which was silently ignored due to a bug in the
code which was parsing it.
This enables support for nested SVM using the regular CPU
model/features block. If the CPU model or features include
'svm', then the '-enable-nesting' flag will be added to the
QEMU command line. Latest out of tree patches for nested
'vmx', no longer require the '-enable-nesting' flag. They
instead just look at the cpu features. Several of the models
already include svm support, but QEMU was just masking out
the svm bit silently. So this will enable SVM on such
models
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: flag for -enable-nesting
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Use -enable-nesting if VMX or SVM are in
the CPUID
* src/cpu/cpu.h, src/cpu/cpu.c: API to check for a named feature
* src/cpu/cpu_x86.c: x86 impl of feature check
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add cpuHasFeature
* src/qemuhelptest.c: Add nesting flag where required
Some features provided by the recently added CPU models were mentioned
twice for each model. This was a result of automatic generation of the
XML from qemu's CPU configuration file without noticing this redundancy.
This patch fixes a couple of complaints from valgrind when tickling libvirtd with SIGHUP.
The first two files contain fixes for memory leaks. The 3rd one initializes an uninitialized variable. The 4th one is another memory leak.
When comparing a CPU without <model> element, such as
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
libvirt would happily crash without warning.
When a CPU to be compared with host CPU describes a host CPU instead of
a guest CPU, the result is incorrect. This is because instead of
treating additional features in host CPU description as required, they
were treated as if they were mentioned with all possible policies at the
same time.
By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
All features in the baseline CPU definition were always created with
policy='require' even though an arch driver returned them with different
policy settings.
Adds ability to provide a preferred CPU model for CPUID data decoding.
Such model would be considered as the best possible model (if it's
supported by hypervisor) regardless on number of features which have to
be added or removed for describing required CPU.
So far, when CPUID data were converted into CPU model and features, the
features can only be added to the model. As a result, when a guest asked
for something like "qemu64,-svm" it would get a qemu32 plus a bunch of
additional features instead.
This patch adds support for removing feature from the base model.
Selection algorithm remains the same: the best CPU model is the model
which requires lowest number of features to be added/removed from it.
When comparing a CPU to host CPU, the result would be
VIR_CPU_COMPARE_SUPERSET (or even VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE if strict
match was required) even though the two CPUs were identical.
