[PATCH v3 4/4] target/i386: Mask CMPLegacy bit in CPUID[0x80000001].ECX for Zhaoxin CPUs |
Date: |

Zhaoxin CPUs (including vendors "Shanghai" and "Centaurhauls") handle the
CMPLegacy bit similarly to Intel CPUs. Therefore, this commit masks the
CMPLegacy bit in CPUID[0x80000001].ECX for Zhaoxin CPUs, just as it is done
for Intel CPUs.
AMD uses the CMPLegacy bit (CPUID[0x80000001].ECX.bit1) along with other CPUID
information to enumerate platform topology (e.g., the number of logical
processors per package). However, for Intel and other CPUs that follow Intel's
behavior, CPUID[0x80000001].ECX.bit1 is reserved.
- Impact on Intel and similar CPUs:
This change has no effect on Intel and similar CPUs, as the goal is to
accurately emulate CPU CPUID information.
- Impact on Linux Guests running on Intel (and similar) vCPUs:
During boot, Linux checks if the CPU supports Hyper-Threading. If it detects
X86_FEATURE_CMP_LEGACY, it assumes Hyper-Threading is not supported. For Intel
and similar vCPUs, if the CMPLegacy bit is not masked in CPUID[0x80000001].ECX,
Linux will incorrectly assume that Hyper-Threading is not supported, even if
the vCPU does support it.
