Hyper-V .feat_names are, unlike hardware features, commented out and it is
not obvious why we do that. Document the current status quo.
Backports commit abd5fc4c862d033a989552914149f01c9476bb16 from qemu
It was found that QMP users of QEMU (e.g. libvirt) may need
HV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EAX/HV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES.EAX information. In
particular, 'hv_tlbflush' and 'hv_evmcs' enlightenments are only exposed in
HV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EAX.
HV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES.EAX is exposed for two reasons: convenience
(we don't need to export it from hyperv_handle_properties() and as
future-proof for Enlightened MSR-Bitmap, PV EPT invalidation and
direct virtual flush features.
Backports commit a2b107dbbd342ff2077aa5af705efaf68c375459 from qemu
MPX support is being phased out by Intel; GCC has dropped it, Linux
is also going to do that. Even though KVM will have special code
to support MPX after the kernel proper stops enabling it in XCR0,
we probably also want to deprecate that in a few years. As a start,
do not enable it by default for any named CPU model starting with
the 4.0 machine types; this include Skylake, Icelake and Cascadelake.
Backports commit ecb85fe48cacb2f8740186e81f2f38a2e02bd963 from qemu
The missing functionality was added ~3 years ago with the Linux commit
46896c73c1a4 ("KVM: svm: add support for RDTSCP")
so reenable RDTSCP support on those CPU models.
Opteron_G2 - being family 15, model 6, doesn't have RDTSCP support
(the real hardware doesn't have it. K8 got RDTSCP support with the NPT
models, i.e., models >= 0x40).
Document the host's minimum required kernel version, while at it.
Backports commit 483c6ad426dbab72d912fe4793d7d558671aa727 from qemu
The STIBP flag may be supported by the host KVM module, so QEMU
can allow it to be configured manually, and it can be exposed to
guests when using "-cpu host".
No additional migration code is required because the whole
contents of spec_ctrl is already migrated in the "cpu/spec_ctrl"
section.

MOVDIR64B moves 64-bytes as direct-store with 64-bytes write atomicity.
Direct store is implemented by using write combining (WC) for writing
data directly into memory without caching the data.

Fix the SYSCALL instruction in 64-bit (long mode). The RF flag
should be cleared in R11 as well as in the RFLAGS. Intel

PKU is supported in Skylake Server (Only Server) and later, and
on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor Scalable Family. So PKU is supposed
to be in Skylake-Server CPU model. And PKU's CPUID has been
exposed to QEMU. But PKU can't be find in Skylake-Server CPU
model in the code. So this patch will fix this issue in
Skylake-Server CPU model.
Backports commit 09b9ee643f90ef95e30e594df2a3c83ccaf75b1f from qemu
New CPU models mostly inherit features from ancestor Skylake-Server,
while addin new features: AVX512_VNNI, Intel PT.
SSBD support for speculative execution
side channel mitigations.
Note:
On Cascadelake, some capabilities (RDCL_NO, IBRS_ALL, RSBA,
SKIP_L1DFL_VMENTRY and SSB_NO) are enumerated by MSR.
These features rely on MSR based feature support patch.
Will be added later after that patch's in.

This patch fixes the checking of boundary crossing instructions.
In icount mode only first instruction of the block may cross
the page boundary to keep the translation deterministic.
These conditions already existed, but compared the wrong variable.
Backports commit 41d54dc09f1f327dedc79d5ba0b1b437ab7b0e94 from qemu

is already used in KVM, adopt it in QEMU as well.
Backports commit f8dc4c645ec2956a6cd97e0ca0fdd4753181f735 from qemu
Interrupt handling depends on various flags in env->hflags or env->hflags2,
and the exact detail were not exactly replicated between x86_cpu_has_work
and x86_cpu_exec_interrupt. Create a new function that extracts the
highest-priority non-masked interrupt, and use it in both functions.
Backports commit 92d5f1a4147c3722b5e9a8bcfb7dc261b7a8b855 from qemu
This was intentionally broken to make updating qemu as quick as possible
when it was woefully out of date, particularly because the interface of
qemu's TCG changed quite a bit, so this code would have needed to be
changed anyways.
Now that qemu is up to date for this variant of Unicorn, we can repair
this functionality and also--and I put massive emphasis on this, since
this wasn't done in the original Unicorn repo--*actually document what
the heck we're doing in this case*, so it's not a pain to change in the
future if we actually need to do that. It makes it much, much, simpler
for people not involved with qemu to understand what is going on in this
case.
These used to be necessary, as the relevant variables used to be void*,
thus making the casts necessary. Given they were changed to concrete
types over the course of backporting, these are unnecessary.
Adds SYSENTER to the whitelist of supported hookable instructions in unicorn
as well as fixes up the existing sysenter_hook_x86 regression test which was
previously failing

Backports commit 0f14c473445661a633ca5bda3a91ba1a87c35c64 from unicorn
The current implementation has three bugs,
* segment limits are not enforced in protected mode if the L bit is set
in the target segment descriptor
* segment limits are not enforced in compatibility mode (ljmp to 32-bit
code segment in long mode)
* #GP(new_cs) is generated rather than #GP(0)
Now the segment limits are enforced if we're not in long mode OR the
target code segment doesn't have the L bit set.
Backports commit db7196db5d5d932f388643baae6835f8dcda6921 from qemu
Currently call gates are always treated as 32-bit gates. In IA-32e mode
(either compatibility or 64-bit submode), system segment descriptors are
always 64-bit. Treating them as 32-bit has the expected unfortunate
effect: only the lower 32 bits of the offset are loaded, the stack
pointer is truncated, a bad new stack pointer is loaded from the TSS (if
switching privilege levels), etc.
This change adds support for 64-bit call gate to the lcall and ljmp
instructions. Additionally, there should be a check for non-canonical
stack pointers, but I've omitted that since there doesn't seem to be
checks for non-canonical addresses in this code elsewhere.
I've left the raise_exception_err_ra lines unwapped at 80 columns to
match the style in the rest of the file.
Backports commit 0aca060526d3ff9632aaed66e8611814580c13de from qemu
Enabling TOPOEXT is always allowed, but it can't be enabled
blindly by "-cpu host" because it may make guests crash if the
rest of the cache topology information isn't provided or isn't
consistent.

Backports commit 7210a02c58572b2686a3a8d610c6628f87864aed from qemu
New CPU models mostly inherit features from ancestor Skylake, while addin new
features: UMIP, New Instructions ( PCONIFIG (server only), WBNOINVD,
AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, AVX512_VNNI, VPCLMULQDQ, VAES, AVX512_BITALG),
Intel PT and 5-level paging (Server only). As well as
IA32_PRED_CMD, SSBD support for speculative execution
side channel mitigations.
Note:
For 5-level paging, Guest physical address width can be configured, with
parameter "phys-bits". Unless explicitly specified, we still use its default
value, even for Icelake-Server cpu model.
At present, hold on expose IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES to guest, as 1) This MSR
actually presents more than 1 'feature', maintainers are considering expanding current
features presentation of only CPUIDs to MSR bits; 2) a reasonable default value
for MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES needs to settled first. These 2 are actully
beyond Icelake CPU model itself but fundamental. So split these work apart
and do it later.
