Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] build: include Hyper-V enlightenments in CPUID flags list
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 09:07:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603070857.184709-2-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603070857.184709-1-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com>
... by sourcing CPU flags from qom-list-properties.
The recognized-CPUID-flags-x86_64 list was generated from QEMU's '-cpu
help' output, which does not advertise Hyper-V enlightenments. Source
the flags from the qom-list-properties QMP command instead to include
them.
The properties are queried from the max-x86_64-cpu CPU type, which is
also available on aarch64 (as opposed to host-x86_64-cpu). The CPU
typename is passed to the script as a CLI argument to allow easily
extending it to query flags for other architectures.
The following unwanted properties are filtered out:
* Non-boolean properties, since the custom CPU models config only
supports enable/disable.
* Properties exposed by qom-list-properties that are neither CPUID
flags nor Hyper-V enlightenments.
* The 'hv-syndbg' Hyper-V enlightenment, which depends on whether KVM
is available at build time and would therefore lead to inconsistent
results. [0]
