From 45e966fcca03ecdcccac7cb236e16eea38cc18af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini pbonzini@redhat.com Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2022 04:17:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Do not return host topology information from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
Passing the host topology to the guest is almost certainly wrong and will confuse the scheduler. In addition, several fields of these CPUID leaves vary on each processor; it is simply impossible to return the right values from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID in such a way that they can be passed to KVM_SET_CPUID2.
The values that will most likely prevent confusion are all zeroes. Userspace will have to override it anyway if it wishes to present a specific topology to the guest.
