This is really, really, *really* for maintainers of the code parsing -cpu to review. Code parsing -cpu:
* parse_cpu_option() in cpu.c Eduardo Habkost <edua...@habkost.net> (supporter:Machine core) Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel.apfelb...@gmail.com> (supporter:Machine core) "Philippe Mathieu-Daudé" <phi...@linaro.org> (reviewer:Machine core) Yanan Wang <wangyana...@huawei.com> (reviewer:Machine core) * cpu_common_parse_features() in hw/core/cpu-common.c No maintainers *boggle* * x86_cpu_parse_featurestr() in qemu/target/i386/cpu.c No maintainers *BOGGLE* * sparc_cpu_parse_features() in target/sparc/cpu.c Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayl...@ilande.co.uk> (maintainer:SPARC TCG CPUs) Artyom Tarasenko <atar4q...@gmail.com> (maintainer:SPARC TCG CPUs) Paolo, Richard, Eduardo, care to get these covered in MAINTAINERS? Since the patch has been waiting for review for so long, I'll give it a try, even though I'm only passingly familiar with -cpu parsing. Paolo, I have a question for you further down.

Is CpuModelInfo the appropriate source? Could we get properties straight from QOM instead, like we do for "-device TYPE,help" and "-object TYPE,help"?

The syntax they parse is superficially similar to QemuOpts (parts separated with comma), but it's not the same. If it was, we'd use QemuOpts and ditch the bespoke parsers. If qemu_opts_parse_noisily() rejects @optarg here, it reports an error, and we continue anyway. If parse_cpu_option() also rejects @optarg later on, the error is reported twice. Bad. If it doesn't, the error qemu_opts_parse_noisily() reported is bogus. If both succeed, they may well yield different parse results. I can try to dig up examples if necessary. As far as I can see, you use the result of qemu_opts_parse_noisily() only with cpu_help_func(). Can we slot the help feature into the bespoke parser instead? Let's have a look. When the argument of -cpu is "help", qemu_process_help_options() shows help and exits before we call parse_cpu_option(). parse_cpu_option() splits the argument of -cpu at the first comma into CPU class name and features. If you factor the splitting out of parse_cpu_option(), you can call it from qemu_process_help_options(), then check whether the features are "help". > cpu_option = optarg; > break; > case QEMU_OPTION_hda:
