The new paging more is extension of IA32e mode with more additional page
table level.
It brings support of 57-bit vitrual address space (128PB) and 52-bit
physical address space (4PB).
The structure of new page table level is identical to pml4.
The feature is enumerated with CPUID.(EAX=07H, ECX=0):ECX[bit 16].
CR4.LA57[bit 12] need to be set when pageing enables to activate 5-level
paging mode.

Backports commit 95ea69fb46266aaa46d0c8b7f0ba8c4903dbe4e3 from qemu
When explicitly enabling unmigratable flags using "-cpu host"
(e.g. "-cpu host,+invtsc"), the requested feature won't be
enabled because cpu->migratable is true by default.
This is inconsistent with all other CPU models, which don't have
the "migratable" option, making "+invtsc" work without the need
for extra options.
This happens because x86_cpu_filter_features() uses
cpu->migratable as an argument for
x86_cpu_get_supported_feature_word(). This is not useful
because:
2) on "-cpu host" it only makes QEMU disable features that were
explicitly enabled in the command-line;
1) on all the other CPU models, cpu->migratable is already false.
The fix is to just use 'false' as an argument to
x86_cpu_get_supported_feature_word() in
x86_cpu_filter_features().
Note that:
* This won't change anything for people using using
"-cpu host" or "-cpu host,migratable=<on|off>" (with no extra
features) because the x86_cpu_get_supported_feature_word() call
on the cpu->host_features check uses cpu->migratable as
argument.
* This won't change anything for any CPU model except "host"
because they all have cpu->migratable == false (and only "host"
has the "migratable" property that allows it to be changed).
* This will only change things for people using "-cpu host,+<feature>",
where <feature> is a non-migratable feature. The only existing
named non-migratable feature is "invtsc".
In other words, this change will only affect people using
"-cpu host,+invtsc" (that will now get what they asked for: the
invtsc flag will be enabled). All other use cases are unaffected.

When probing for CPU model information, we need to reuse the code

Backports commit 16d2fcaa509b1ca56eb2fcd8fe877279cf65cccc from qemu
Instead of translating the feature name entries when adding
property names, store the actual property names in the feature
name array.
For reference, here is the full list of functions that use
FeatureWordInfo::feat_names:
* x86_cpu_get_migratable_flags(): not affected, as it just
check for non-NULL values.
* report_unavailable_features(): informative only. It will
start printing feature names with hyphens.
* x86_cpu_list(): informative only. It will start printing
feature names with hyphens
* x86_cpu_register_feature_bit_props(): not affected, as it
was already calling feat2prop(). Now we can remove the
feat2prop() calls safely.
So, the only user-visible effect of this patch are the new names
being used in help and error messages for users.
Backports commit fc7dfd205f3287893c436d932a167bffa30579c8 from qemu
VME is already disabled automatically when using TCG. So, instead
of pretending it is there when reporting CPU model data on
query-cpu-* QMP commands (making every CPU model to be reported
as not runnable), we can disable it by default on all CPU models
when using TCG.
Do that by adding a tcg_default_props array that will work like
kvm_default_props.
Backports commit 04d99c3c61f4bdc0450dbeb6512b6dd743baca65 from qemu
Current CPU definition for AMD Opteron third generation includes
features like SSE4a and LAHF_LM support in emulated CPUID. These
features are present in K8 rev.E or K10 CPUs and later. However,
current G3 family and model describe 2nd generation K8 cores instead.
This is incorrect but was considered harmless until our tests found a
problem with linux kernels >= 3.10 (and maybe earlier) which specifically
check for Opteron K8 model when parsing CPUID leaf 0x80000001:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c?v=3.16#L552
This code will disable LAHF_LM feature in /proc/cpuinfo if model number
is inconsistent.
This change sets Opteron_G3 family/model/stepping to 16/2/3 which is
a proper Opteron 3rd generation 2350 CPU.
Backports commit 339892d758efb2d0954160d41736a0eac9875d67 from qemu
A regression was introduced by commit 96193c22a "target-i386:
Move xsave component mask to features array": all
CPUID[EAX=0xD,ECX=0]:EAX bits were being reported as unmigratable
because they don't have feature names defined. This broke
"-cpu host" because it enables only migratable features by
default.
This adds a new field to FeatureWordInfo: migratable_flags, which
will make those features be reported as migratable even if they
don't have a property name defined.

Backports commit 8057c621b1b17cbcb35fe67d1a09ada9055873a9 from qemu
Instead of checking both env->features and ena_mask at two
different places in the CPUID code, initialize ena_mask based on
the features that are enabled for the CPU, and then clear
unsupported bits based on kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid().
The results should be exactly the same, but it will make it
easier to move the mask calculation elsewhare, and reuse
x86_cpu_filter_features() for the kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid()
check.
Backports commit 4928cd6de6b4211a79f98c8dc39115be1e815c2b from qemu
The code that calculates the set of supported XSAVE components on
CPUID looks at ext_save_areas to find out which components should
be enabled. However, if there are zeroed entries in the
ext_save_areas array, the
((env->features[esa->feature] & esa->bits) == esa->bits)
check will always succeed and QEMU will unconditionally try to
enable the component.
Luckily this never caused any problems because the only missing
entry in ext_save_areas is the PT State component (bit 8), and
KVM currently doesn't support it (so it was cleared on ena_mask).
But the code was still incorrect and would break if KVM starts
returning CPUID[EAX=0xD,ECX=0].EAX[bit 8] as supported on
GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
Fix the problem by changing the code to not enable a XSAVE
component if ExtSaveArea::bits is zero.

Instead of requiring users and management software to be aware of

automatically increase those values when features need them.
This was already done for CPUID[7].EBX, and is now made generic

don't break ABI on older machine-types and don't mess with the
CPUID level values if they are explicitly set by the user.

Backports commit 3f32bd21df655e62eb271182a5c63280d631c7b3 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

than KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID).
It's also possible to implement both in TCG, but this is for 2.8.

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.

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 d9c84f196970f78d4b55ab87e03cbcad7c65f86f 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.
