[libvirt] [PATCH] Enable support for nested SVM

Daniel P. Berrange berrange at redhat.com
Tue Oct 12 10:46:31 UTC 2010


This enables support for nested SVM using the regular CPU
model/features block. If the CPU model or features include
'svm', then the '-enable-nesting' flag will be added to the
QEMU command line. Latest out of tree patches for nested
'vmx', no longer require the '-enable-nesting' flag. They
instead just look at the cpu features. Several of the models
already include svm support, but QEMU was just masking out
the svm bit silently. So this will enable SVM on such
models

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: flag for -enable-nesting
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Use -enable-nesting if VMX or SVM are in
  the CPUID
* src/cpu/cpu.h, src/cpu/cpu.c: API to check for a named feature
* src/cpu/cpu_x86.c: x86 impl of feature check
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add cpuHasFeature
* src/qemuhelptest.c: Add nesting flag where required
