add Opteron_G4 CPU model (v2)
This patch addes a Bulldozer-based Opteron_G4 CPU model.
This version has the ffxsr bit actually disabled, to match what was
documented below. Thanks to Andre Przywara for spotting the bug.
I am trying to be conservative with the new model, so I am enabling only
features known to be useful to guests, and not enabling anything that
was not tested or found to be useful to a guest.
List of missing flags in comparison to real hardware:
- vme: host-specific feature.
- osxsave: it is not set here because it is set by the guest OS, not by KVM
- monitor: this is filtered out by the KVM module, so no point in
enabling it.
- mmxext: untested, so not enabled.
- Perf*, Topology*, lwp, ibs: not emulated by KVM.
- wdt, skinit, osvw, altmovcr8, extapicspace, cmplegacy: untested,
so not enabled.
List of new flags, in comparison to the Opteron_G3 model:
- xsave: xsave feature, already implemented by Qemu
- avx, aes, sse4.x, ssse3, pclmulqdq: all new state the new instructions
could use is handled by the xsave state loading/saving code on Qemu.
- pdpe1gb: 1GB pages, supported by the KVM kernel module.
- ffxsr: untested, so not enabled
- fma4, xop: all new state the new instructions could use is handled by
the xsave loading/saving code on Qemu.
- 3dnowprefetch: safe to pass through, though the flag is not used by
Linux guests, at least.
Below is the comparison between the current Opteron_G3 model
and the new model being added.
- The "full" line contains the flags found on actual hardware.
- The "missing" line shows the flags that are present on actual
hardware, but not on the added Opteron_G4 model.
- The "new" line shows the flags that were not on the Opteron_G3 model
but are on Opteron_G4.
