From 2544e9e4aa2bcef8ac069057a681a5ff37a23e49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Daniel=20P=2E=20Berrang=C3=A9?= Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2018 17:01:03 +0100 Subject: docs: add guidance on configuring CPU models for x86 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit With the recent set of CPU hardware vulnerabilities on x86, it is increasingly difficult to understand which CPU configurations are good to use and what flaws they might be vulnerable to. This doc attempts to help management applications and administrators in picking sensible CPU configuration on x86 hosts. It outlines which of the named CPU models are good choices, and describes which extra CPU flags should be enabled to allow the guest to mitigate hardware flaws. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
