*** Bug 2066823 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Unfortunately, even though we can drop five CPU types, keeping only three total, because we still keep at least one TCG CPU type, we don't save anything with respect to code size. I tried to remove files that appeared to provide TCG support for 32-bit CPU types, but the TCG code is too intertwined. I was able to remove target/arm/cpu_tcg.c from the build, but it was mostly commented out for RHEL already and its functions are only initializers with almost no logic anyway. So, the question is, do we still want to remove unsupported CPU types just to make sure nobody uses them?

We've decided, yes, we want to enforce our decision to not support certain CPU types by removing them.

Luiz, Drew, is it possible to set the DTM for this so that QE can plan the testing accordingly? Thanks The fix will be merged through bug 2060839 and MR-94. What we need to do is test it after MR-94 gets merged. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2060839 https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/qemu-kvm/-/merge_requests/94 MR-94 for bug 2060839 is merged to qemu-kvm-7.0.0-8.el9. Move this to ON_QA. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (Moderate: qemu-kvm security, bug fix, and enhancement update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below.
