[pve-devel] [PATCH v4 qemu-server 10/12] Rework get_cpu_options and allow custom CPU models

Stefan Reiter s.reiter at proxmox.com
Mon Oct 7 14:47:29 CEST 2019


If a cputype is custom (check via prefix), try to load options from the
custom CPU model config, and set values accordingly.

While at it, extract currently hardcoded values into seperate sub and add
reasonings.

Since the new flag resolving outputs flags in sorted order for
consistency, adapt the test cases to not break. Only the order is
changed, not which flags are present.

v3 -> v4:
* use is_custom_model

v3: Since it's just a few lines, I included the test changes into this patch
directly. This way all patches in the series should be buildable without
problems.

v2: It was quite interesting to dig through old commit messages/mail archives to
find the actual reasons some of the hardcoded flags are included. I do feel like
the "reason" field is quite useful though, both for future developers and users.
