KVM: x86: Do not return host topology information from KVM_GET_SUPPOR…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…TED_CPUID

Passing the host topology to the guest is almost certainly wrong
and will confuse the scheduler.  In addition, several fields of
these CPUID leaves vary on each processor; it is simply impossible to
return the right values from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID in such a way that
they can be passed to KVM_SET_CPUID2.

The values that will most likely prevent confusion are all zeroes.
Userspace will have to override it anyway if it wishes to present a
specific topology to the guest.

CPU topology
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Several CPUID values include topology information for the host CPU:
0x0b and 0x1f for Intel systems, 0x8000001e for AMD systems. Different
versions of KVM return different values for this information and userspace
should not rely on it. Currently they return all zeroes.

If userspace wishes to set up a guest topology, it should be careful that
the values of these three leaves differ for each CPU. In particular,
the APIC ID is found in EDX for all subleaves of 0x0b and 0x1f, and in EAX
for 0x8000001e; the latter also encodes the core id and node id in bits
7:0 of EBX and ECX respectively.
