search for: cpuids

Specifically, what values are or aren''t accepted as CPU identifier, and how the values get interpreted should be consistent across sub-commands (intended behavior now: non-negative values are okay, and along with omitting the argument, specifying "all" will also be accepted). For error handling, error messages should get consistently issued to stderr, and the tool should now

Hi, xl is currently ignoring the cpuid= variable in the config file. As I don''t like the current interface xm exposes (basically because it is complicated, unintuitive and very error prone), I implemented a new scheme for specifying CPUID flags policy, combining QEMU''s and Xen''s approach: cpuid = "<base>,<feature_name>=[01xks]*,... The patch includes a

I'm not sure what you mean by "this mechanism?" Are you suggesting that each hypervisor put "CrossHVPara\0" somewhere in the 0x40000000 - 0x400fffff CPUID range, and an OS has to do a full scan of this CPUID range on boot to find it? That seems pretty inefficient. An OS will take 1000's of hypervisor intercepts on every boot just to search this CPUID range. I

This is a bug fixing. So it needs go into 4.1. x86: add volatile prefix for cpuid asm clauses cpuid results are possible to be changed now. For example, changing CR4.OSXSAVE bit or setting MSR XCR_XFEATURE_ENABLED_MASK may change XSAVE related cpuid leave return values. The volatile prefix is required to avoid the second cpuid calls following some possible changing operations being optimized in

Hi Keir, For HVM guests, all cpuid Fn''s going through domain_cpuid() iterate over the loop and then return 0 for all four registers. Guests OS''s and cpuid tools in HVM which query for cpuid Fn 0000.0000 %eax and 8000.0000 %eax, see the value 0 and think, Xen emulates oldish 386/486 CPUs. This leads to strange boot failures, "your CPU does not support long mode" or

Hi, Please find below the proposal for the generic use of cpuid space allotted for hypervisors. Apart from this cpuid space another thing worth noting would be that, Intel & AMD reserve the MSRs from 0x40000000 - 0x400000FF for software use. Though the proposal doesn't talk about MSR's right now, we should be aware of these reservations as we may want to extend the way we use CPUID to

The following makes 'x86info -r' dump hypervisor leaf cpu ids (for kvm this is signature+features) when running in a vm. On the guest we see the signature and the features: eax in: 0x40000000, eax = 00000000 ebx = 4b4d564b ecx = 564b4d56 edx = 0000004d eax in: 0x40000001, eax = 0100007b ebx = 00000000 ecx = 00000000 edx = 00000000 Hypervisor flag is checked to avoid output changes when
