To paraphrase:
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2021/01/05/building-red-hat-enterprise-linux-9-for-the-x86-64-v2-microarchitecture-level/
In 2020, AMD, Intel, Red Hat, and SUSE worked together to define
three microarchitecture levels on top of the historical x86-64
baseline:
* x86-64: original x86_64 baseline instruction set
* x86-64-v2: vector instructions up to Streaming SIMD
Extensions 4.2 (SSE4.2) and Supplemental
Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3), the
POPCNT instruction, and CMPXCHG16B
* x86-64-v3: vector instructions up to AVX2, MOVBE,
and additional bit-manipulation instructions.
* x86-64-v4: vector instructions from some of the
AVX-512 variants.
This list of features is defined in the doc at:
https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/
QEMU has historically defaulted to the "qemu64" CPU model on
x86_64 targets, which is approximately the x86-64 baseline
ABI, with 'SVM' added.
It is thought it might be desirable if QEMU could provide CPU models
that closely correspond to the ABI levels, while offering portability
across the maximum number of physical CPUs.
Historically we've found that defining CPU models with an arbitrary
combination of CPU features can be problematic, as some guest OS
will not check all features they use, and instead assume that if
they see feature "XX", then "YY" will always exist. This is reasonable
in bare metal, but subject to breakage in virtualization.
Thus in defining the CPU models for the ABI levels, this patch attempted
to base them off an existing CPU model.
While each x86-64-abiNNN has a designated vendor, they are designed
to be vendor agnostic models. ie they are capable of running on any
physical x86_64 CPU model that satisfies the ABI level. eg although
the x86-64-abi2 model is based on Nehalem, it should be able to run
guests on an Opteron_G4/G5/EPYC host, since those CPUs support the
features required by the x86-64 v2 ABI.
More precisely the models were defined as:
* x86-64-abi1: close match for Opteron_G1, minus
vme
* x86-64-abi2: perfect match for Nehalem
* x86-64-abi3: close match of Haswell-noTSX, minus
aes pcid erms invpcid tsc-deadline
x2apic pclmulqdq
* x86-64-abi4: close match of Skylake-Server-noTSX-IBRS, minus
spec-ctrl
None of the CPU models declare any VMX/SVM capability features.
IOW, even if a "vmx"/"svm" flag is added, it will still be unsafe
to attempt to live migrate the L1 guest if there are any L2
guests running with hardware virtualization.
Given their vendor agnostic design, these CPU models are primarily
thought tobe useful as the default CPU model for machine types.
QEMU upstream is quite conservative in mandating new hardware features,
but a downstream vendor may choose to mandate a newer x86-64 ABI level
for downstream only machine types.
Note that TCG is not capable of supporting the 2 newest ABI levels
currently due to missing features:
* x86-64-abi3:
CPUID.01H:ECX.fma [bit 12]
CPUID.01H:ECX.avx [bit 28]
CPUID.01H:ECX.f16c [bit 29]
CPUID.07H:EBX.avx2 [bit 5]
* x86-64-abi4:
CPUID.01H:ECX.pcid [bit 17]
CPUID.01H:ECX.x2apic [bit 21]
CPUID.01H:ECX.tsc-deadline [bit 24]
CPUID.07H:EBX.invpcid [bit 10]
CPUID.07H:EBX.avx512f [bit 16]
CPUID.07H:EBX.avx512dq [bit 17]
CPUID.07H:EBX.rdseed [bit 18]
CPUID.07H:EBX.avx512cd [bit 28]
CPUID.07H:EBX.avx512bw [bit 30]
CPUID.07H:EBX.avx512vl [bit 31]
CPUID.80000001H:ECX.3dnowprefetch [bit 8]
CPUID.0DH:EAX.xsavec [bit 1]
