Subject: [PATCH] Expose tsc deadline timer cpuid to guest

Depend on several factors:
1. Considering live migration, user enable/disable tsc deadline timer;
2. If guest use kvm apic and kvm emulate tsc deadline timer, expose it;
3. If in the future qemu support tsc deadline timer emulation,
   and guest use qemu apic, add cpuid exposing case then.

Please split linux-header update from functional changes (then the
former should just be the outcome of a update-linux-headers.sh run).

Hmm, I would really prefer to stop adding switches like this. They won't
make it upstream anyway.

Can't this control be attached to legacy qemu machine models, ie. here
anything <= pc-1.0? See how we handle kvmclock.

Please mind the coding style.

OK, I will try to write a patch w/ better user control cpuid method, i.e. by plus_features and minus_features.

You mean, by adding input para like pc_init1(..., kvmclock_enabled, tscdeadline_enabled)?
I think that's not a good way. With more and more cpuid features (N) controlled in this way, machine models would be 2^N.

Thanks,

Yep, that would be better.

I think it is mandatory as older qemu versions won't expose tscdeadline
to the guest, thus newer versions must not do this when emulating older
machines.

We likely need a better way to express this via code, I agree. Likely
something declarative as for compat_props.

Thanks, patch updated according to above idea, and sent out.

Hmm, if an old qemu machine runs at a new host platform (say, -cpu host), it would expose many *new* cpuid features to guest.

IMO, qemu machine is a *virt* platform for guest,
tsc deadline timer is a cpuid features, not much necessary to be bound to some qemu machine version.
whether tsc deadline timer cpuid expose to guest can only decided by:
1. user authorize enable (default yes)
2. kvm_irqchip_in_kernel
3. KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER
If yes, it can be exposed to guest, and would not break anything no matter what qemu machine version is.


Thanks,
