The target-x86_64.conf sysconfig file has been empty and essentially ignored
now for several years. This change removes the unused file to enable moving
towards a stateless configuration.

This file is not needed anymore, as QEMU won't ship any config-based
cpudefs out of the box, relying only on the builtin CPU models.

Those models are maintained by QEMU and may require compatibility code
to be added when making some changes. Keeping the data in the C source
code should make it simpler to handle those details.

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.

This patches add the definition of a SandyBridge CPU model.
Summary of differences:
Flags present on actual hardware, but not on the added model definition:
- pbe, tm, ht, ss, acpi, vme, xTPR, tm2, eist, smx: host-specific
features, not exposed to guest.
- ds, ds-cpl, dtes64, pdcm: emulation not supported by KVM (although it
may be added in the future if implementing PMU virtualization)
- pcid, vmx, monitor: not emulated by Qemu/KVM right now.
- osxsave: set by the guest OS, not by Qemu.
Flags added, that were not present on Westmere model:
- xsave: already supported by Qemu
- avx, pclmulqdq: all new state the new instructions could use is
handled by xsave state loading/saving code.
- tsc-deadline, x2apic, rdtscp: already supported by Qemu/KVM.
Below there's a comparison of the features on the current Westmere CPU
model, and the SandyBridge CPU model.
- 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 SandyBridge model.
- The "new" line shows the flags that were not on the Westmere model,
but are on SandyBridge.

This version doesn't have the duplicate feature bits on extfeature_edx, though,
as they are being removed from the Intel models (as they are reserved bits on
Intel CPUs).
Version 1 patch description:
This patch adds Westmere as a qemu cpu model. The only
additional guest visible feature of a Westmere relative
to Nehalem is the inclusion of AES instructions. However
as other non-ABI visible modifications exist along with
fabrication changes, the CPUID data of the corresponding
deployed silicon was altered slightly to reflect this.
We've seen isolated cases where apparently unrelated yet
slightly incoherent CPUID data has caused problems, most
notably during guest boot. Providing Westmere as a
model separate fro Nehalem allows us to more easily address
such quirks.

This patch removes the replicated feature flags from cpuid 8000_0001:edx
(extfeature_edx) from Intel models, as the duplicated feature flags are present
only on AMD CPUs. On Intel models, only the i64, syscall, and xd flags are kept
on extfeature_edx.
This is based on a previous patch from John Cooper where this was introduced
with many other changes at the same time. Original John's patch submission is
at Message-ID: <4DDAD5E7.2020002@redhat.com>, <http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=130618871926030>.
Original John's patch description was:
cpu model bug fixes and definition corrections
This patch was intended to address the replicated feature
flags in cpuid 8000_0001:edx from cpuid 0000_0001:edx.
This is due to AMD's definition where these flags are
mostly cloned in the 8000_0001:edx cpuid function.
qemu64 attempted to glue together the respective Intel
and AMD nearly disjoint features and this propagated to
the new Intel models as doing so was believed conservative
at the time. However after further soak and test lugging
around this cruft doesn't provide any value, could
conceivably confuse a guest, and has confused users trying
to maintain/add cpu definitions. This also caused issues
for libvirt attempting to track this mis-encoding.
So we've here tossed out the AMD replicated definitions
from the Intel models, added a few replications into AMD
definitions which were missing according to AMD's latest
CPUID document, and reordered the config file flags to
follow intuitive sequential bit ordering. Also two flag
name aliases were added for clarity to Intel models. The
end result being the models definitions now conform to
their respective cpuid specifications sans x2apic which is
emulated by kvm.
This was tested with the following combinations:
[Conroe, Penryn, Nehalem] x [F12-64, win64, win32] -- Intel host
[Opteron_G1, Opteron_G2, Opteron_G3] x [F12-64, win64, win32] -- AMD host
Yielding successful boots in all cases.

Use 'i64' instead of 'lm' and 'xd' instead of 'nx' on Intel models.

This will make it easier to review and change the flag list in the future.
No behaviour change should be introduced by this, as it is just changing
the flag order on the config file.
To make sure the flag sets are really not changed by this patch, I have
used the following stupid script to compare the flag values in the
config files:

This is a reimplementation of prior versions which adds
the ability to define cpu models for contemporary processors.
The added models are likewise selected via -cpu <name>,
and are intended to displace the existing convention
of "-cpu qemu64" augmented with a series of feature flags.
A primary motivation was determination of a least common
denominator within a given processor class to simplify guest
migration. It is still possible to modify an arbitrary model
via additional feature flags however the goal here was to
make doing so unnecessary in typical usage. The other
consideration was providing models names reflective of
current processors. Both AMD and Intel have reviewed the
models in terms of balancing generality of migration vs.
excessive feature downgrade relative to released silicon.
This version of the patch replaces the prior hard wired
definitions with a configuration file approach for new
models. Existing models are thus far left as-is but may
easily be transitioned to (or may be overridden by) the
configuration file representation.
Proposed new model definitions are provided here for current
AMD and Intel processors. Each model consists of a name
used to select it on the command line (-cpu <name>), and a
model_id which corresponds to a least common denominator
commercial instance of the processor class.
A table of names/model_ids may be queried via "-cpu ?model":
:
x86 Opteron_G3 AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron)
x86 Opteron_G2 AMD Opteron 22xx (Gen 2 Class Opteron)
x86 Opteron_G1 AMD Opteron 240 (Gen 1 Class Opteron)
x86 Nehalem Intel Core i7 9xx (Nehalem Class Core i7)
x86 Penryn Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx (Penryn Class Core 2)
x86 Conroe Intel Celeron_4x0 (Conroe/Merom Class Core 2)
:
Also added is "-cpu ?dump" which exhaustively outputs all config
data for all defined models, and "-cpu ?cpuid" which enumerates
all qemu recognized CPUID feature flags.
The pseudo cpuid flag 'check' when added to the feature flag list
will warn when feature flags (either implicit in a cpu model or
explicit on the command line) would have otherwise been quietly
unavailable to a guest:
# qemu-system-x86_64 ... -cpu Nehalem,check
warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'sse4.2|sse4_2' [0x00100000]
warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'popcnt' [0x00800000]
A similar 'enforce' pseudo flag exists which in addition
to the above causes qemu to error exit if requested flags are
unavailable.
Configuration data for a cpu model resides in the target config
file which by default will be installed as:
/usr/local/etc/qemu/target-<arch>.conf
The format of this file should be self explanatory given the
definitions for the above six models and essentially mimics
the structure of the static x86_def_t x86_defs.
Encoding of cpuid flags names now allows aliases for both the
configuration file and the command line which reconciles some
Intel/AMD/Linux/Qemu naming differences.
This patch was tested relative to qemu.git.
