The CLDEMOTE instruction hints to hardware that the cache line that
contains the linear address should be moved("demoted") from
the cache(s) closest to the processor core to a level more distant
from the processor core. This may accelerate subsequent accesses
to the line by other cores in the same coherence domain,
especially if the line was written by the core that demotes the line.
Intel Snow Ridge has added new cpu feature, CLDEMOTE.
The new cpu feature needs to be exposed to guest VM.
The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 25] CLDEMOTE

Backports commit 0da0fb062841d0dcd8ba47e4a989d2e952cdf0ff from qemu
cpu_init(cpu_model) were replaced by cpu_create(cpu_type) so
no users are left, remove it.
Backports commit 3f71e724e283233753f1b5b3d6a30948d3084636 from qemu
define default CPU type in generic way in pc_machine_class_init()
and let common machine code to handle cpu_model parsing
Patch also introduces TARGET_DEFAULT_CPU_TYPE define for 2 purposes:
* make foo_machine_class_init() look uniform on every target
* use define in [bsd|linux]-user targets to pick default
cpu type
Backports commit 311ca98d16bbb6a2a38b38ba898baa4a4d4ab9a7 from qemu
Considering that features are converted to global properties and
global properties are automatically applied to every new instance
of created CPU (at object_new() time), there is no point in
parsing cpu_model string every time a CPU created. So move
parsing outside CPU creation loop and do it only once.
Parsing also should be done before any CPU is created so that
features would affect the first CPU a well.

Currently CPUClass->parse_features() is used to parse -cpu
features string and set properties on created CPU instances.
But considering that features specified by -cpu apply to every
created CPU instance, it doesn't make sense to parse the same
features string for every CPU created. It also makes every target
that cares about parsing features string explicitly call
CPUClass->parse_features() parser, which gets in a way if we
consider using generic device_add for CPU hotplug as device_add
has not a clue about CPU specific hooks.
Turns out we can use global properties mechanism to set
properties on every created CPU instance for a given type. That
way it's possible to convert CPU features into a set of global
properties for CPU type specified by -cpu cpu_model and common
Device.device_post_init() will apply them to CPU of given type
automatically regardless whether it's manually created CPU or CPU
created with help of device_add.

it will be used for providing to cpu name resolving class for
parsing cpu model for system and user emulation code.
Along with change add target to null-machine tests, so
that when switch to CPU_RESOLVING_TYPE happens,
it would ensure that null-machine usecase still works.

This function needs to be converted to QOM hook and virtualised for
multi-arch. This rename interferes, as cpu-qom will not have access
to the renaming causing name divergence. This rename doesn't really do
anything anyway so just delete it.
Backports commit 8642c1b81e0418df066a7960a7426d85a923a253 from qemu
Move vcpu's associated numa_node field out of generic CPUState
into inherited classes that actually care about cpu<->numa mapping,
i.e: ARMCPU, PowerPCCPU, X86CPU.

Add Intel Processor Trace related definition. It also add
corresponding part to kvm_get/set_msr and vmstate.
Backports commit b77146e9a129bcdb60edc23639211679ae846a92 from qemu
Expose Intel Processor Trace feature to guest.
To make Intel PT live migration safe and get same CPUID information
with same CPU model on diffrent host. CPUID[14] is constant in this
patch. Intel PT use EPT is first supported in IceLake, the CPUID[14]
get on this machine as default value. Intel PT would be disabled
if any machine don't support this minial feature list.
Backports commit e37a5c7fa459558b5020588994707fe3fdd6616e from qemu
Add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint, guest checks this feature bit
to determine if they run on dedicated vCPUs, allowing optimizations such
as usage of qspinlocks.
Backports commit be7773268d98176489483a315d3e2323cb0615b9 from qemu
This MSR returns the number of #SMIs that occurred on
CPU since boot.
KVM commit 52797bf9a875 ("KVM: x86: Add emulation of MSR_SMI_COUNT")
introduced support for emulating this MSR.
This commit adds support for QEMU to save/load this
MSR for migration purposes.

As cpu.h is another typically widely included file which doesn't need
full access to the softfloat API we can remove the includes from here
as well. Where they do need types it's typically for float_status and
the rounding modes so we move that to softfloat-types.h as well.
As a result of not having softfloat in every cpu.h call we now need to
add it to various helpers that do need the full softfloat.h
definitions.
Backports commit 24f91e81b65fcdd0552d1f0fcb0ea7cfe3829c19 from qemu
The MC68040 MMU provides the size of the access that
triggers the page fault.
This size is set in the Special Status Word which
is written in the stack frame of the access fault
exception.
So we need the size in m68k_cpu_unassigned_access() and
m68k_cpu_handle_mmu_fault().
To be able to do that, this patch modifies the prototype of
handle_mmu_fault handler, tlb_fill() and probe_write().
do_unassigned_access() already includes a size parameter.
This patch also updates handle_mmu_fault handlers and
tlb_fill() of all targets (only parameter, no code change).

Add the new feature word and the "ibpb" feature flag.
Based on a patch by Paolo Bonzini.
Backports commit 1ade973f5202404e772aae7b1acd331270d246dc from qemu
Starting with Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, if
CPUID.40000005.EAX contains a value of -1, Windows assumes specific
limit to the number of VPs. In this case, Windows Server 2012
guest VMs may use more than 64 VPs, up to the maximum supported
number of processors applicable to the specific Windows
version being used.

For compatibility, Let's introduce a new property for X86CPU,
named "x-hv-max-vps" as Eduardo's suggestion, and set it
to 0x40 before machine 2.10.
(The "x-" prefix indicates that the property is not supposed to
be a stable user interface.)

Currently when running KVM, we expose "KVMKVMKVM\0\0\0" in
the 0x40000000 CPUID leaf. Other hypervisors (VMWare,
HyperV, Xen, BHyve) all do the same thing, which leaves
TCG as the odd one out.
The CPUID signature is used by software to detect which
virtual environment they are running in and (potentially)
change behaviour in certain ways. For example, systemd
supports a ConditionVirtualization= setting in unit files.
The virt-what command can also report the virt type it is
running on
Currently both these apps have to resort to custom hacks
like looking for 'fw-cfg' entry in the /proc/device-tree
file to identify TCG.
This change thus proposes a signature "TCGTCGTCGTCG" to be
reported when running under TCG.
To hide this, the -cpu option tcg-cpuid=off can be used.
Backports commits 4ed3d478c63dc65a02eba774c35116618ea5ff10 and 1ce36bfe6424243082d3d7c2330e1a0a4ff72a43 from qemu
Move cpu_get_fp80()/cpu_set_fp80() from fpu_helper.c to
machine.c because fpu_helper.c will be disabled if tcg is
disabled in the build.
Backports commit db573d2cf7ae6b5a4fc324be6f55e078fc218464 from qemu.
In unicorn's case, they can be moved into unicorn.c
This speeds up SMM switches. Later on it may remove the need to take
the BQL, and it may also allow to reuse code between TCG and KVM.
Backports commit f8c45c6550b9ff1e1f0b92709ff3213a79870879 from qemu
The existing code for "host" and "max" CPU models overrides every
single feature in the CPU object at realize time, even the ones
that were explicitly enabled or disabled by the user using
"feat=on" or "feat=off", while features set using +feat/-feat are
kept.
This means "-cpu host,+invtsc" works as expected, while
"-cpu host,invtsc=on" doesn't.
This was a known bug, already documented in a comment inside
x86_cpu_expand_features(). What makes this bug worse now is that
libvirt 3.0.0 and newer now use "feat=on|off" instead of
+feat/-feat when it detects a QEMU version that supports it (see
libvirt commit d47db7b16dd5422c7e487c8c8ee5b181a2f9cd66).
Change the feature property getter/setter to set a
env->user_features field, to keep track of features that were
explicitly changed using QOM properties. Then make the
max_features code not override user features when handling "-cpu
host" and "-cpu max".
This will also allow us to remove the plus_features/minus_features
hack in the future, but I plan to do that after 2.9.0 is
released.
Backports commit d4a606b38b5d4b3689b86cc1575908e82179ecfb from qemu
Helper function for code that needs to check the host CPU
vendor/family/model/stepping values.
Backports commit 20271d484069f154fb262507e63adc3a37e885d2 from qemu
Paths through the softmmu code during code generation now need to be audited
to check for double locking of tb_lock. In particular, VMEXIT can take tb_lock
through cpu_vmexit -> cpu_x86_update_cr4 -> tlb_flush.
To avoid this, split VMEXIT delivery in two parts, similar to what is done with
exceptions. cpu_vmexit only records the VMEXIT exit code and information, and
cc->do_interrupt can then deliver it when it is safe to take the lock.
Backports commit 10cde894b63146139f981857e4eedf756fa53dcb from qemu
This suppresses the incorrect warning when forcing MTTCG for x86
guests on x86 hosts. A future patch will still warn when
TARGET_SUPPORT_MTTCG hasn't been defined for the guest (which is still
pending for x86).

AVX512_VPOPCNTDQ: Vector POPCNT instructions for word and qwords.
variable precision.
Backports commit f77543772dcd38fa438470d9b80bafbd3a3ebbd7 from qemu
We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
