|
When using `query-cpu-definitions` using `-machine none`,
|
|
QEMU is resolving all CPU models to their latest versions. The
|
|
actual CPU model version being used by another machine type (e.g.
|
|
`pc-q35-4.0`) might be different.
|
|
|
|
In theory, this was OK because the correct CPU model
|
|
version is returned when using the correct `-machine` argument.
|
|
|
|
Except that in practice, this breaks libvirt expectations:
|
|
libvirt always use `-machine none` when checking if a CPU model
|
|
is runnable, because runnability is not expected to be affected
|
|
when the machine type is changed.
|
|
|
|
For example, when running on a Haswell host without TSX,
|
|
Haswell-v4 is runnable, but Haswell-v1 is not. On those hosts,
|
|
`query-cpu-definitions` says Haswell is runnable if using
|
|
`-machine none`, but Haswell is actually not runnable using any
|
|
of the `pc-*` machine types (because they resolve Haswell to
|
|
Haswell-v1). In other words, we're breaking the "runnability
|
|
guarantee" we promised to not break for a few releases (see
|
|
qemu-deprecated.texi).
|
|
|
|
To address this issue, change the default CPU model version to v1
|
|
on all machine types, so we make `query-cpu-definitions` output
|
|
when using `-machine none` match the results when using `pc-*`.
|
|
This will change in the future (the plan is to always return the
|
|
latest CPU model version if using `-machine none`), but only
|
|
after giving libvirt the opportunity to adapt.
