From fc4b84b1c68a0dc2905d379f0f6a5305e4ebe0b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2016 10:52:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qmp: details about CPU definitions in query-cpu-definitions It might be of interest for tooling whether a CPU definition can be safely used when migrating, or if e.g. CPU features might get lost during migration when migrationg from/to a different QEMU version or host, even if the same compatibility machine is used. Also, we want to know if a CPU definition is static and will never change. Beause these definitions can then be used independantly of a compatibility machine and will always have the same feature set, they can e.g. be used to indicate the "host" model in libvirt later on. Let's add two return values to query-cpu-definitions, stating for each returned CPU definition, if it is migration-safe and if it is static. While "migration-safe" is optional, "static" will be set to "false" automatically by all implementing architectures. If a model really was static all the time and will be in the future, this can simply be changed later.
