Igor Mammedov Dec. 20, 2012, 12:16 a.m. UTC
commit 8935499831312 makes cpuid return to guest host's vendor value
instead of built-in one by default if kvm_enabled() == true and allows
to override this behavior if 'vendor' is specified on -cpu command line.

But every time guest calls cpuid to get 'vendor' value, host's value is
read again and again in default case.

It complicates semantic of vendor property and makes it harder to use,
due to split brain syndrome, lets simplify it.

Instead of reading 'vendor' value from host every time cpuid[vendor] is
called, override 'vendor' value only once in cpu_x86_find_by_name(), when
built-in CPU model is found and if(kvm_enabled() == true).

It provides the same default semantic
 if (kvm_enabled() == true)  vendor = host's vendor
 else vendor = built-in vendor

and then later:
 if (custom vendor) vendor = custom vendor

'vendor' value is overridden when user provides it on -cpu command line,
and there isn't need in vendor_override field anymore, remove it.

It's funny how x86_def_t _never_ has vendor_override set to true. The
field was completely pointless.

Could you keep the old comment explaining the reason for the KVM
behavior, here?

/* sysenter isn't supported on compatibility mode on AMD, syscall
 * isn't supported in compatibility mode on Intel.
 * Normally we advertise the actual cpu vendor, but you can override
 * this if you want to use KVM's sysenter/syscall emulation
 * in compatibility mode and when doing cross vendor migration
 */

(I suggest replacing "you can override this" with "you can override this
using the 'vendor' property").

The rest of the patch looks good to me.

I like the fact that you are doing this as early as possible (even
before cpudef_2_x86_cpu() is called), making it easy to move the logic
to class_init.
