If you want to work around a KVM bug by ignoring xcr0, it needs to be conditional on kvm_enabled(). But even if we you make this conditional on kvm_enabled(), I don't understand why QEMU would need a workaround for a KVM bug that was fixed more than 4 years ago. > --- > target/i386/cpu.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/target/i386/cpu.c b/target/i386/cpu.c > index ff65e11008..69562e21ed 100644 > --- a/target/i386/cpu.c > +++ b/target/i386/cpu.c > @@ -4416,7 +4416,7 @@ void cpu_x86_cpuid(CPUX86State *env, uint32_t index, uint32_t count, > *ecx = xsave_area_size(x86_cpu_xsave_components(cpu)); > *eax = env->features[FEAT_XSAVE_COMP_LO]; > *edx = env->features[FEAT_XSAVE_COMP_HI]; > - *ebx = xsave_area_size(env->xcr0); > + *ebx = *ecx; > } else if (count == 1) { > *eax = env->features[FEAT_XSAVE]; > } else if (count < ARRAY_SIZE(x86_ext_save_areas)) { > -- > 2.22.0 > >
Thanks for you reply, we have some hosts running with legacy kernel, difficult to upgrade, and i want to run the latest qemu.

It is CentOS 6.3 with kernel version 2.6.32-279.

We stopped supporting CentOS 6 in July 2016 (2 years after CentOS 7 was released). Be aware that even if we work around that specific bug, there are no guarantees that QEMU will still build on a CentOS 6 host in the future. That said, I probably wouldn't reject a patch that works around that CentOS 6 bug, if it's conditional on kvm_enabled() and has a comment explaining why the workaround exists. > > > > owen.si@ucloud.cn > > From: Eduardo Habkost > Date: 2019-08-21 19:19 > To: owen.si@ucloud.cn > CC: qemu-devel > Subject: Re: Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Revert "i386: correct cpu_x86_cpuid(0xd)" > On Wed, Aug 21, 2019 at 11:04:46AM +0800, owen.si@ucloud.cn wrote: > > Thanks for you reply, we have some hosts running with legacy kernel, difficult to upgrade, and i want to run the latest qemu. > > Does QEMU support running with legacy kernel(kvm) in design? > > For KVM, QEMU requires Linux 4.5 or newer.
