Useful mainly for migration. cpuUpdate changes guest CPU requirements in
the following way:
- match == "strict" || match == "exact"
- optional features which are supported by host CPU are changed into
required features
- optional features which are not supported by host CPU are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
- match == "minimum"
- match is changed into "exact"
- optional features and all features not mentioned in guest CPU
specification which are supported by host CPU become required
features
- other optional features are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
This ensures that no feature will suddenly disappear from the guest
after migration.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
