Hi Paolo,

After thinking more, I found way to satisfy all cases in a easy way.
How about things like this?

@@ -507,12 +510,26 @@ static inline int __do_cpuid_ent(struct kvm_cpuid_entry2 *entry, u32 fu
* if the host doesn't support it.

entry->edx |= F(ARCH_CAPABILITIES);
+ } else if (index == 1) {
+ entry->eax &= kvm_cpuid_7_1_eax_x86_features;
+ entry->ebx = 0;
+ entry->ecx = 0;
+ entry->edx = 0;
} else {
+ entry->eax = 0;
entry->ebx = 0;
entry->ecx = 0;
entry->edx = 0;
}
- entry->eax = 0;
+
+ if (index == 0 && entry->eax >= 1) {
+ entry[1].eax &= kvm_cpuid_7_1_eax_x86_features;
+ entry[1].ebx = 0;
+ entry[1].ecx = 0;
+ entry[1].edx = 0;
+ entry[1].flags |= KVM_CPUID_FLAG_SIGNIFCANT_INDEX;
+ ++*nent;
+ }
break;
}


Or you prefer that I update this into another version later?

Thanks!
Jing

This woud be wrong for i > 1, so instead make this

ÂÂÂÂif (entry->eax >= 1)


I am confused about the @index parameter. @index seems not used for
every case except 0x07. Since the caller function only has @index=0, so
all other cases except 0x07 put cpuid info from subleaf=0 to max subleaf.

What do you think about @index in current function? Does it mean, we
need put cpuid from index to max subleaf to @entry[i]? If so, the logic
seems as follows,

if (index == 0) {
ÂÂÂ // Put subleaf 0 into @entry
ÂÂÂ // Put subleaf 1 into @entry[1]
} else if (index < entry->eax) {
ÂÂÂ // Put subleaf 1 into @entry
} else {
ÂÂÂ // Put all zero into @entry
}

But this seems not identical with other cases, for current caller
function. Or we can simply ignore @index in 0x07 and just put all possible
subleaf info back?

and define F(AVX512_BF16) as a new constant kvm_cpuid_7_1_eax_features.

Got it.


Thanks,
Jing
