[PATCH RFC v2 00/19] i386: KVM: expand Hyper-V features early


From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 00/19] i386: KVM: expand Hyper-V features early
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 15:40:08 +0200

Changes since RFCv1:
- Took a slightly differenet approach, instead of adding all missing
 Hyper-V feature leaves to feature_word_info[] remove the existing ones
 from there. The logic for handling them is very different and some of
 these leaves are not actually 'feature leaves'. See "i386: drop
 FEAT_HYPERV feature leaves" for details.
- x86_cpu_hyperv_realize introduced [Eduardo].
- Rebased to the latest master.

This pairs with
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20200929150944.1235688-1-vkuznets@redhat.com/T/#t
and as KVM part is not yet fully accepted, sending this as RFC.

Upper layer tools like libvirt want to figure out which Hyper-V features are
supported by the underlying stack (QEMU/KVM) but currently they are unable to
do so. We have a nice 'hv_passthrough' CPU flag supported by QEMU but it has
no effect on e.g. QMP's 

query-cpu-model-expansion type=full 
model={"name":"host","props":{"hv-passthrough":true}}

command as we parse Hyper-V features after creating KVM vCPUs and not at
feature expansion time. To support the use-case we first need to make 
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl a system-wide ioctl as the existing
vCPU version can't be used that early. This is what KVM part does. With
that done, we can make early Hyper-V feature expansion (this series).

Vitaly Kuznetsov (19):
  WIP: update linux/headers
  i386: fill in FEAT_HYPERV_EDX from edx instead of eax
  i386: drop x86_cpu_get_supported_feature_word() forward declaration
  i386: move hyperv_vendor_id initialization to x86_cpu_realizefn()
  i386: move hyperv_interface_id initialization to x86_cpu_realizefn()
  i386: move hyperv_version_id initialization to x86_cpu_realizefn()
  i386: move hyperv_limits initialization to x86_cpu_realizefn()
  i386: keep hyperv_vendor string up-to-date
  i386: invert hyperv_spinlock_attempts setting logic with
    hv_passthrough
  i386: always fill Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves from X86CPU data
  i386: introduce hv_cpuid_cache
  i386: drop FEAT_HYPERV feature leaves
  i386: split hyperv_handle_properties() into
    hyperv_expand_features()/hyperv_fill_cpuids()
  i386: move eVMCS enablement to hyperv_init_vcpu()
  i386: switch hyperv_expand_features() to using error_setg()
  i386: adjust the expected KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID array size
  i386: prefer system KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl over vCPU's one
  i386: use global kvm_state in hyperv_enabled() check
  i386: expand Hyper-V features during CPU feature expansion time
