Backports commit 7616f1c2da1c0f336a474a56ad6d32e15ccd666e from qemu
Some software algorithms are based on the hardware's cache info, for example,
for x86 linux kernel, when cpu1 want to wakeup a task on cpu2, cpu1 will trigger
a resched IPI and told cpu2 to do the wakeup if they don't share low level
cache. Oppositely, cpu1 will access cpu2's runqueue directly if they share llc.
The relevant linux-kernel code as bellow:
static void ttwu_queue(struct task_struct *p, int cpu)
{
struct rq *rq = cpu_rq(cpu);
......
if (... && !cpus_share_cache(smp_processor_id(), cpu)) {
......
ttwu_queue_remote(p, cpu); /* will trigger RES IPI */
return;
}
......
ttwu_do_activate(rq, p, 0); /* access target's rq directly */
......
}
In real hardware, the cpus on the same socket share L3 cache, so one won't
trigger a resched IPIs when wakeup a task on others. But QEMU doesn't present a
virtual L3 cache info for VM, then the linux guest will trigger lots of RES IPIs
under some workloads even if the virtual cpus belongs to the same virtual socket.
For KVM, there will be lots of vmexit due to guest send IPIs.
The workload is a SAP HANA's testsuite, we run it one round(about 40 minuates)
and observe the (Suse11sp3)Guest's amounts of RES IPIs which triggering during
the period:

The VM's topology is "1*socket 8*cores 2*threads".
After present virtual L3 cache info for VM, the amounts of RES IPIs in guest
reduce 85%.
For KVM, vcpus send IPIs will cause vmexit which is expensive, so it can cause
severe performance degradation. We had tested the overall system performance if
vcpus actually run on sparate physical socket. With L3 cache, the performance
improves 7.2%~33.1%(avg:15.7%).

These are both stored in CPUID[EAX=7,EBX=0].ECX. KVM is going to
be able to emulate both (albeit with a performance loss in the case
of RDPID, which therefore will be in KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID rather
than KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID).
It's also possible to implement both in TCG, but this is for 2.8.

Backports commit d89c2b8b98e097b9cad5104b0f178bde1cfa011b from qemu
Add the host-phys-bits boolean property, if true, take phys-bits
from the hosts physical bits value, overriding either the default
or the user specified value.
We can also use the value we read from the host to check the users
explicitly set value and warn them if it doesn't match.
Note:
a) We only read the hosts value in KVM mode (because on non-x86
we get an abort if we try)
b) We don't warn about trying to use host-phys-bits in TCG mode,
we just fall back to the TCG default. This allows the machine
type to set the host-phys-bits flag if it wants and then to
work in both TCG and KVM.
Backports commit 11f6fee576680a2d482123535da920f8ceb33eb5 from qemu
Redo 9886e834 (target-i386: Require APIC ID to be explicitly set before
CPU realize) in another way that doesn't use int64_t to detect
if apic-id property has been set.
Use the fact that 0xFFFFFFFF is the broadcast
value that a CPU can't have and set default
uint32_t apic_id to it instead of using int64_t.
Later uint32_t apic_id will be used to drop custom
property setter/getter in favor of static property.

Backports commit fcc35e7ccaed771790940524f3b0eef7aebfc9b1 from qemu
Currently QEMU sets the x86 number of physical address bits to the
magic number 40. This is only correct on some small AMD systems;
Intel systems tend to have 36, 39, 46 bits, and large AMD systems
tend to have 48.
Having the value different from your actual hardware is detectable
by the guest and in principal can cause problems;
The current limit of 40 stops TB VMs being created by those lucky
enough to have that much.
This patch lets you set the physical bits by a cpu property but
defaults to the same 40bits which matches TCGs setup.
I've removed the ancient warning about the 42 bit limit in exec.c;
I can't find that limit in there and no one else seems to know where
it is.
We use a magic value of 0 as the property default so that we can
later distinguish between the default and a user set value.

Most of them use guard symbols like CPU_$target_H, but we also have
__MIPS_CPU_H__ and __TRICORE_CPU_H__. They all upset
scripts/clean-header-guards.pl.
The script dislikes CPU_$target_H because they don't match their file
name (they should, to make guard collisions less likely). The others
are reserved identifiers.
Clean them all up: use guard symbol $target_CPU_H for
target-$target/cpu.h.

It's a prerequisite that certain bits of MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL should
be set before some features (e.g. VMX and LMCE) can be used, which is
usually done by the firmware. This patch adds a fw_cfg file
"etc/msr_feature_control" which contains the advised value of
MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL and can be used by guest firmware (e.g. SeaBIOS).

This patch adds the support to inject SRAR and SRAO as LMCE, i.e. they
are injected to only one VCPU rather than broadcast to all VCPUs. As KVM
reports LMCE support on Intel platforms, this features is only available
on Intel platforms.
LMCE is disabled by default and can be enabled/disabled by cpu option
'lmce=on/off'.

This change adds hyperv feature words report through qom rpc.
When VM is configured with hyperv features enabled
libvirt will check that required feature words are set
in cpuid leaf 40000003 through qom request.
Currently qemu does not report hyperv feature words
which prevents windows guests from starting with libvirt.
To avoid conflicting with current hyperv properties all added feature
words cannot be set directly with -cpu +feature yet.

Making x86_cpu_parse_featurestr() a pure convertor

into CPUState, to set/unset +-feats, from parser to
CPU's realize method.

I looked at a dozen Intel CPU that have this CPUID and all of them
always had Core offset as 1 (a wasted bit when hyperthreading is
disabled) and Package offset at least 4 (wasted bits at <= 4 cores).
QEMU uses more compact IDs and it doesn't make much sense to change it
now. I keep the SMT and Core sub-leaves even if there is just one
thread/core; it makes the code simpler and there should be no harm.

We are inconsistent with the type of tb->flags: usage varies loosely
between int and uint64_t. Settle to uint32_t everywhere, which is
superior to both: at least one target (aarch64) uses the most significant
bit in the u32, and uint64_t is wasteful.
Compile-tested for all targets.

Backports commit cfc3b074de4b4ccee2540edbf8cfdb026dc19943 from qemu
This patch enables migrating vcpu's TSC rate. If KVM on the
destination machine supports TSC scaling, guest programs will
observe a consistent TSC rate across the migration.
If TSC scaling is not supported on the destination machine, the
migration will not be aborted and QEMU on the destination will
not set vcpu's TSC rate to the migrated value.
If vcpu's TSC rate specified by CPU option 'tsc-freq' on the
destination machine is inconsistent with the migrated TSC rate,
the migration will be aborted.
For backwards compatibility, the migration of vcpu's TSC rate is
disabled on pc-*-2.5 and older machine types.

The TARGET_HAS_ICE #define is intended to indicate whether a target-*

all our guest CPUs have that support (the only two which do not
define TARGET_HAS_ICE are unicore32 and openrisc, and in both those
cases the bp support is present and the lack of the #define is just
a bug). So remove the #define entirely: all new guest CPU support
should include breakpoint handling as part of the basic implementation.

When doing a re-initialization of a CPU core, the default state is to _not_
have 64-bit long mode enabled. This means the LME (long mode enable) and LMA
(long mode active) bits in the EFER model-specific register should be cleared.
However, the EFER state is part of the CPU environment which is
preserved by do_cpu_init(), so if EFER.LME and EFER.LMA were set at the
time an INIT IPI was received, they will remain set after the init completes.
This is contrary to what the Intel architecture manual describes and what
happens on real hardware, and it leaves the CPU in a weird state that the
guest can't clear.
To fix this, the 'efer' member of the CPUX86State structure has been moved
to an area outside the region preserved by do_cpu_init(), so that it can
be properly re-initialized by x86_cpu_reset().
