The new command can be used to generate test data for virCPUUpdateLive.
When "cpu-cpuid.py diff x86-cpuid-Something.json" is run, it reads raw
CPUID data stored in x86-cpuid-Something.xml and CPUID data from QEMU
stored in x86-cpuid-Something.json to produce two more CPUID files:
x86-cpuid-Something-enabled.xml and x86-cpuid-Something-disabled.xml.
- x86-cpuid-Something-enabled.xml will contain CPUID bits present in
x86-cpuid-Something.json (i.e., enabled by QEMU for the "host" CPU)
- x86-cpuid-Something-disabled.xml will contain all CPUID bits from
x86-cpuid-Something.xml which are not present in
x86-cpuid-Something.json (i.e., CPUID bits which the host CPU
supports, but QEMU does not enable them for the "host" CPU)

cpuBaseline is responsible for computing a baseline CPU while feature
expansion is done by virCPUExpandFeatures. The cpuBaselineXML wrapper
(used by hypervisor drivers to implement virConnectBaselineCPU API)
calls cpuBaseline followed by virCPUExpandFeatures if requested by
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES flag.
The features in the three changed test files had to be sorted using
"sort -k 3" because virCPUExpandFeatures returns a sorted list of

Instantiating "host" CPU and querying it using qom-get has been the only
way of probing host CPU via QEMU until 2.9.0 implemented
query-cpu-model-expansion for x86_64. Even though libvirt never really
used the old way its result can be easily converted into the one
produced by query-cpu-model-expansion. Thus we can reuse the original
test data and possible get new data from hosts where QEMU does not
support the new QMP command.

Guest CPU definitions with mode='custom' and missing <vendor> are
expected to run on a host CPU from any vendor as long as the required
CPU model can be used as a guest CPU on the host. But even though no CPU
vendor was explicitly requested we would sometimes force it due to a bug
in virCPUUpdate and virCPUTranslate.
The bug would effectively forbid cross vendor migrations even if they
were previously working just fine.

The API is no longer used anywhere else since it was replaced by a much
saner work flow utilizing new APIs that work on virCPUDefPtr directly:
virCPUCompare, virCPUUpdate, and virCPUTranslate.
Not testing the new work flow caused some bugs to be hidden. This patch
reveals them, but doesn't attempt to fix them. To make sure all test
still pass after this patch, all affected test results are modified to
pretend the tests succeeded. All of the bugs will be fixed in the
following commits and the artificial modifications will be reverted.
The following is the list of bugs in the new CPU model work flow:
- a guest CPU with mode='custom' and missing <vendor/> gets the vendor
copied from host's CPU (the vendor should only be copied to host-model
CPUs):
DO_TEST_UPDATE("x86", "host", "min", VIR_CPU_COMPARE_IDENTICAL)
DO_TEST_UPDATE("x86", "host", "pentium3", VIR_CPU_COMPARE_IDENTICAL)
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host-better", "pentium3", NULL, 0)
- when a guest CPU with mode='custom' needs to be translated into
another model because the original model is not supported by a
hypervisor, the result will have its vendor set to the vendor of the
original CPU model as specified in cpu_map.xml even if the original
guest CPU XML didn't contain <vendor/>:
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host", "guest", model486, 0)
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host", "guest", models, 0)
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host-Haswell-noTSX", "Haswell-noTSX",
haswell, 0)
- legacy POWERx_v* model names are not recognized:
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("ppc64", "host", "guest-legacy", ppc_models, 0)

Some Intel processor families (e.g. the Intel Xeon processor E5 v3
family) introduced some PQos (Platform Qos) features, including CMT
(Cache Monitoring technology) and MBM (Memory Bandwidth Monitoring),
to monitor or control shared resource. This patch add them into x86
part of cpu_map.xml to be used for applications based on libvirt to

Our current detection code uses just the number of CPU features which
need to be added/removed from the CPU model to fully describe the CPUID
data. The smallest number wins. But this may sometimes generate wrong
results as one can see from the fixed test cases. This patch modifies
the algorithm to prefer the CPU model with matching signature even if
this model results in a longer list of additional features.

So far we only test CPUID -> CPU def conversion on artificial CPUID data
computed from another CPU def. This patch adds the infrastructure to
test this conversion on real data gathered from a host CPU and two
helper scripts for adding new test data:
- cpu-gather.sh runs cpuid tool and qemu-system-x86_64 to get CPUID data
from the host CPU; this is what users can be asked to run if they run
into an issue with host CPU detection in libvirt
- cpu-parse.sh takes the data generated by cpu-gather.sh and creates
data files for CPU detection tests
The CPUID data queried from QEMU will eventually switch to the format
used by query-host-cpu QMP command once QEMU implements it. Until then
we just spawn QEMU with -cpu host and query the guest CPU in QOM. They
should both provide the same CPUID results, but query-host-cpu does not
require any guest CPU to be created by QEMU.

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.

When all source CPU XMLs contain just a single CPU model (with a
possibly varying set of additional feature elements),
virConnectBaselineCPU will try to use this CPU model in the computed
guest CPU. Thus, when used on just a single CPU (useful with
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES), the result will not use a
different CPU model.
If the computed CPU uses the source model, set fallback mode to 'forbid'
to make sure the guest CPU will always be as close as possible to the
source CPUs.
Currently the virConnectBaselineCPU API does not expose the CPU features
that are part of the CPU's model. This patch adds a new flag,
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES, that causes the API to explicitly
list all features that are part of that model.

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.
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/.
Recently (or not so recently) QEMU added the kvm32 and kvm64
architectures, representing a least common denominator of all
hosts that can run KVM. Add them to the machine map.
Also, some features that TCG supports were added to qemu64.
Add them to the cpu_map.xml whenever KVM is guaranteed to support
those. We still have to leave some out, because they would not
be available to guests running on older hosts.

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.
