[libvirt] [PATCH v2 10/10] cpu_x86: Use signature in CPU detection code

Jiri Denemark jdenemar at redhat.com
Thu Jun 9 09:56:17 UTC 2016


Our current detection code uses just the number of CPU features which
need to be added/removed from the CPU model to fully describe the CPUID
data. The smallest number wins. But this may sometimes generate wrong
results as one can see from the fixed test cases. This patch modifies
the algorithm to prefer the CPU model with matching signature even if
this model results in a longer list of additional features.
