QEMU allows for TSC frequency to be explicitly set to enable migration
with invtsc (migration fails if the destination QEMU cannot set the
exact same frequency used when starting the domain on the source host).
Libvirt already supports setting the TSC frequency in the XML using
<clock>
<timer name='tsc' frequency='1234567890'/>
</clock>
which will be transformed into
-cpu Model,tsc-frequency=1234567890
QEMU command line.

The frequency is documented and formatted as an attribute of the <timer>
element rather than a nested <frequency> element expected by the parser.
Luckily enough, timer frequency has not been used by any driver so far.
And users were not able to set it in the XML either.

The test takes
x86-cpuid-Something-guest.xml CPU (the CPU libvirt would use for
host-model on a CPU described by x86_64-cpuid-Something.xml without
talking to QEMU about what it supports on the host)
and updates it according to CPUID data from QEMU:
x86_64-cpuid-Something-enabled.xml (reported as "feature-words"
property of the CPU device)
and
x86_64-cpuid-Something-disabled.xml (reported as "filtered-features"
property of the CPU device).
The result is compared to
x86_64-cpuid-Something-json.xml (the CPU libvirt would use as
host-model based on the reply from query-cpu-model-expansion).
The comparison is a bit tricky because the *-json.xml CPU contains fewer
disabled features. Only the features which are included in the base CPU
model, but listed as disabled in *.json will be disabled in *-json.xml.
The CPU computed by virCPUUpdateLive from the test data will list all
features present in the host's CPUID data and not enabled in *.json as
disabled. The cpuTestUpdateLiveCompare function checks that the computed
and expected sets of enabled features match.

stored in x86-cpuid-Something.json to produce two more CPUID files:
x86-cpuid-Something-enabled.xml and x86-cpuid-Something-disabled.xml.
- x86-cpuid-Something-enabled.xml will contain CPUID bits present in
x86-cpuid-Something.json (i.e., enabled by QEMU for the "host" CPU)
- x86-cpuid-Something-disabled.xml will contain all CPUID bits from

cpuBaseline is responsible for computing a baseline CPU while feature

Having to use cpuBaseline with VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES

Calling virCPUUpdateLive on a domain with no guest CPU configuration
does not make sense. Especially when doing so would crash libvirtd.
Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com>
When starting a domain with custom guest CPU specification QEMU may add
or remove some CPU features. There are several reasons for this, e.g.,
QEMU/KVM does not support some requested features or the definition of
the requested CPU model in libvirt's cpu_map.xml differs from the one
QEMU is using. We can't really avoid this because CPU models are allowed
to change with machine types and libvirt doesn't know (and probably
doesn't even want to know) about such changes.
Thus when we want to make sure guest ABI doesn't change when a domain
gets migrated to another host, we need to update our live CPU definition
according to the CPU QEMU created. Once updated, we will change CPU
checking to VIR_CPU_CHECK_FULL to make sure the virtual CPU created
after migration exactly matches the one on the source.

One of the main reasons for introducing host-model CPU definition in a
domain capabilities XML was the inability to express disabled features
in a host capabilities XML. That is, when a host CPU is, e.g., Haswell
without x2apic support, host capabilities XML will have to report it as
Westmere + a bunch of additional features., but we really want to use
Haswell - x2apic when creating a host-model CPU.
Unfortunately, I somehow forgot to do the last step and the code would
just copy the CPU definition found in the host capabilities XML. This
changed recently for new QEMU versions which allow us to query host CPU,
but any slightly older QEMU will not benefit from any change I did. This
patch makes sure the right CPU model is filled in the domain
capabilities even with old QEMU.

Instantiating "host" CPU and querying it using qom-get has been the only
way of probing host CPU via QEMU until 2.9.0 implemented
query-cpu-model-expansion for x86_64. Even though libvirt never really
used the old way its result can be easily converted into the one
produced by query-cpu-model-expansion. Thus we can reuse the original
test data and possible get new data from hosts where QEMU does not
support the new QMP command.

The static CPU model expansion is designed to return only canonical
names of all CPU properties. To maintain backwards compatibility libvirt
is stuck with different spelling of some of the features, but we need to
use the full expansion to get the additional spellings. In addition to
returning all spelling variants for all properties the full expansion
will contain properties which are not guaranteed to be migration
compatible. Thus, we need to combine both expansions. First we need to
call the static expansion to limit the result to migratable properties.
Then we can use the result of the static expansion as an input to the
full expansion to get both canonical names and their aliases.
