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
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.
