Subject: [PATCH qemu-server v5 05/21] cpu flags: normalize CPU flags to QEMU's format
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 11:28:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515092839.238064-6-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515092839.238064-1-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com>
The QMP commands used in query_supported_cpu_flags() return some flags
multiple times in different formats, like for example 'sse4.2', 'sse4-2'
and 'sse4_2'.
In order to have a unified format, add the normalize_cpu_flag helper to
the CPUFlags module, which returns the alias QEMU has for a given flag
value. The list is sourced from x86_cpu_initfn() in
qemu/target/i386/cpu.c.

+Normalize a CPU flag to its QEMU form.
+
+QEMU defines aliases for some CPU flags (see C<x86_cpu_initfn()> in
+C<target/i386/cpu.c>). For example, C<sse4_2> and C<sse4-2> are both aliases for
+C<sse4.2>.
+
+If C<$flag> has a known alias, return that, otherwise return C<$flag> unchanged.
