Hi,
Now that you added the final F_* macro, let's list all of them:
#define F(name) \
/* Scattered Flag - For features that are scattered by cpufeatures.h. */
#define SF(name) \
/* Features that KVM supports only on 64-bit kernels. */
#define X86_64_F(name) \
/*
* Raw Feature - For features that KVM supports based purely on raw host CPUID,
* i.e. that KVM virtualizes even if the host kernel doesn't use the feature.
* Simply force set the feature in KVM's capabilities, raw CPUID support will
* be factored in by __kvm_cpu_cap_mask().
*/
#define RAW_F(name) \
/*
* Emulated Feature - For features that KVM emulates in software irrespective
* of host CPU/kernel support.
*/
#define EMUL_F(name) \
/*
* Synthesized Feature - For features that are synthesized into boot_cpu_data,
* i.e. may not be present in the raw CPUID, but can still be advertised to
* userspace. Primarily used for mitigation related feature flags.
*/
#define SYN_F(name) \
/*
* Aliased Features - For features in 0x8000_0001.EDX that are duplicates of
* identical 0x1.EDX features, and thus are aliased from 0x1 to 0x8000_0001.
*/
#define AF(name) \
/*
* VMM Features - For features that KVM "supports" in some capacity, i.e. that
* KVM may query, but that are never advertised to userspace. E.g. KVM allows
* userspace to enumerate MONITOR+MWAIT support to the guest, but the MWAIT
* feature flag is never advertised to userspace because MONITOR+MWAIT aren't
* virtualized by hardware, can't be faithfully emulated in software (KVM
* emulates them as NOPs), and allowing the guest to execute them natively
* requires enabling a per-VM capability.
*/
#define VMM_F(name) \
Honestly, I already somewhat lost in what each of those macros means even when reading
the comments, which might indicate that a future reader might also have a
hard time understanding those.
I now support even more the case of setting each feature bit in a separate statement
as I explained in an earlier patch.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
