The new MSR IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR was introduced by a recent Intel
microcode updated and can be used by OSes to mitigate
CVE-2017-5715. Unfortunately we can't change the existing CPU
models without breaking existing setups, so users need to
explicitly update their VM configuration to use the new *-IBRS
CPU model if they want to expose IBRS to guests.
The new CPU models are simple copies of the existing CPU models,
with just CPUID_7_0_EDX_SPEC_CTRL added and model_id updated.
Backports commit 61efbbf869293f1deb9ee39d44bd4e635de59fa7 from qemu
Add the new feature word and the "ibpb" feature flag.
Based on a patch by Paolo Bonzini.
Backports commit 1ade973f5202404e772aae7b1acd331270d246dc from qemu
It is valid to have a 48-character model ID on CPUID, however the
definition of X86CPUDefinition::model_id is char[48], which can
make the compiler drop the null terminator from the string.
If a CPU model happens to have 48 bytes on model_id, "-cpu help"
will print garbage and the object_property_set_str() call at
x86_cpu_load_def() will read data outside the model_id array.
We could increase the array size to 49, but this would mean the
compiler would not issue a warning if a 49-char string is used by
mistake for model_id.
To make things simpler, simply change model_id to be const char*,
and validate the string length using an assert() on
x86_register_cpudef_type().
Backports commit 4b220d88ba76fb2623ce4b8ba1f1eea66b82144e from qemu

Backports commit 2e2efc7dbe2b0adc1200b5aa286cdbed729f6751 from qemu
Introduce Skylake-Server cpu mode which inherits the features from
Skylake-Client and supports some additional features that are: AVX512,
CLWB and PGPE1GB.
Backports commit 53f9a6f45fb214540cb40af45efc11ac40ac454c from qemu
Currently when running KVM, we expose "KVMKVMKVM\0\0\0" in
the 0x40000000 CPUID leaf. Other hypervisors (VMWare,
HyperV, Xen, BHyve) all do the same thing, which leaves
TCG as the odd one out.
The CPUID signature is used by software to detect which
virtual environment they are running in and (potentially)
change behaviour in certain ways. For example, systemd
supports a ConditionVirtualization= setting in unit files.
The virt-what command can also report the virt type it is
running on
Currently both these apps have to resort to custom hacks
like looking for 'fw-cfg' entry in the /proc/device-tree
file to identify TCG.
This change thus proposes a signature "TCGTCGTCGTCG" to be
reported when running under TCG.
To hide this, the -cpu option tcg-cpuid=off can be used.
Backports commits 4ed3d478c63dc65a02eba774c35116618ea5ff10 and 1ce36bfe6424243082d3d7c2330e1a0a4ff72a43 from qemu
This speeds up SMM switches. Later on it may remove the need to take
the BQL, and it may also allow to reuse code between TCG and KVM.
Backports commit f8c45c6550b9ff1e1f0b92709ff3213a79870879 from qemu
The existing code for "host" and "max" CPU models overrides every
single feature in the CPU object at realize time, even the ones
that were explicitly enabled or disabled by the user using
"feat=on" or "feat=off", while features set using +feat/-feat are
kept.
This means "-cpu host,+invtsc" works as expected, while
"-cpu host,invtsc=on" doesn't.
This was a known bug, already documented in a comment inside
x86_cpu_expand_features(). What makes this bug worse now is that
libvirt 3.0.0 and newer now use "feat=on|off" instead of
+feat/-feat when it detects a QEMU version that supports it (see
libvirt commit d47db7b16dd5422c7e487c8c8ee5b181a2f9cd66).
Change the feature property getter/setter to set a
env->user_features field, to keep track of features that were
explicitly changed using QOM properties. Then make the
max_features code not override user features when handling "-cpu
host" and "-cpu max".
This will also allow us to remove the plus_features/minus_features
hack in the future, but I plan to do that after 2.9.0 is
released.
Backports commit d4a606b38b5d4b3689b86cc1575908e82179ecfb from qemu
glibc blacklists TSX on Haswell CPUs with model==60 and
stepping < 4. To make the Haswell CPU model more useful, make
those guests actually use TSX by changing CPU stepping to 4.

Backports commit 20271d484069f154fb262507e63adc3a37e885d2 from qemu
CPU runnability checks and CPU model expansion have slightly
different requirements. Document the steps involved in loading a
CPU model and realizing a CPU, so their requirements and purpose
are clearly defined.
This patch doesn't change any implementation. It just add
comments, rename the x86_cpu_load_features() function for clarity
(so it won't be confused with x86_cpu_load_def()), and move
x86_cpu_filter_features() closer to it.
Backports commit b8d834a00fa3ed4dad7d371e1a00938a126a54a0 from qemu
This makes qemu_strtosz(), qemu_strtosz_mebi() and
qemu_strtosz_metric() similar to qemu_strtoi64(), except negative
values are rejected.
Backports commit f17fd4fdf0df3d2f3444399d04c38d22b9a3e1b7 from qemu
Change the qemu_strtosz() & friends to return -EINVAL when @endptr is
null and the conversion doesn't consume the string completely.
Matches how qemu_strtol() & friends work.
Only test_qemu_strtosz_simple() passes a null @endptr. No functional
change there, because its conversion consumes the string.
Simplify callers that use @endptr only to fail when it doesn't point
to '\0' to pass a null @endptr instead.
Backports commit 4fcdf65ae2c00ae69f7625f26ed41f37d77b403c from qemu
To parse numbers with metric suffixes, we use
qemu_strtosz_suffix_unit(nptr, &eptr, QEMU_STRTOSZ_DEFSUFFIX_B, 1000)
Capture this in a new function for legibility:
qemu_strtosz_metric(nptr, &eptr)
Replace test_qemu_strtosz_suffix_unit() by test_qemu_strtosz_metric().
Rename qemu_strtosz_suffix_unit() to do_strtosz() and give it internal
linkage.
Backports commit d2734d2629266006b0413433778474d5801c60be from qemu
When CPU vendor is set to AMD, the AMD feature alias bits on
CPUID[0x80000001].EDX are already automatically copied from CPUID[1].EDX
on x86_cpu_realizefn(). When CPU vendor is Intel, those bits are
reserved and should be zero. On either case, those bits shouldn't be set
in the CPU model table.
Commit 726a8ff68677d8d5fba17eb0ffb85076bfb598dc removed those
bits from most CPU models, but the Opteron_* entries still have
them. Remove the alias bits from Opteron_* too.
Add an assert() to x86_register_cpudef_type() to ensure we don't
make the same mistake again.

Backports commit f77543772dcd38fa438470d9b80bafbd3a3ebbd7 from qemu
We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
