RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Guo, Zhiyi 2016-08-30 15:58:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
Flags ht arat xsaveopt xsavec xgetbv1 are missing on qemu-kvm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm:qemu-kvm-1.5.3-121.el7.x86_64
rhel 7.3 host & guest kernel:3.10.0-495.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot guest with cli:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name rhel7.3 -m 2048 \
        -cpu Skylake-Client,check\
        -smp 1,threads=2,cores=1,sockets=3,maxcpus=6 \
         -vga qxl\
        -spice port=3003,disable-ticketing \
        -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,debug=0,name=vdagent \
        -serial unix:/tmp/m,server,nowait \
        -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \
        -drive file=ss1rhel73.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi-disk0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-scsi-disk0,bus=scsi0.0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,id=scsi-disk0,bootindex=1 \
        -monitor stdio \
        -usb -device usb-kbd,id=input0 \
        -netdev tap,id=idinWyYp,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,mac=42:ce:a9:d2:4d:d7,id=idlbq7eA,netdev=idinWyYp \
        -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server,nowait \
2. get flags by cat /proc/cpuinfo inside guest
3.

Comment 2 Eduardo Habkost 2016-09-06 20:38:12 UTC 
ARAT:

ARAT is not supported by qemu-kvm-1.5.3, and it is never included in any machine-type + CPU combination in machine-types <= rhel7.2.0 (PC_RHEL7_2_COMPAT in qemu-kvm-rhev has arat=off).


HT:

HT is missing because the following command-line option:
 -smp 1,threads=2,cores=1,sockets=3,maxcpus=6 
conflicts with the semantics of "sockets" in qemu-kvm-1.5.3. "sockets" is only useful is to help calculate the nr_threads and nr_cores value, and it is calculated based on the number of online CPUs (1), not maxcpus (6), and nr_cores and nr_threads end up set to 1.

Recommendations:
* I recommend opening a separate BZ for that bug.
* While the bug is not fixed, I recommend using just "threads=2,cores=1" and _not_ add a "sockets" argument.


XSAVEOPT, XSAVEC, XGETBV1:

This is unexpected. I can reproduce it (I see CPUID[EAX=0xD,ECX=1].EAX = 0 in my testing). I am investigating the cause.
Comment 3 Eduardo Habkost 2016-09-06 20:46:02 UTC 
Found the bug, it is a regression. All XSAVE flags are being cleared because of a bug in the backport of patch "target-i386: add feature flags for CPUID[EAX=0xd, ECX=1]".
Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2016-09-09 09:25:41 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-123.el7
Comment 8 Guo, Zhiyi 2016-09-13 08:55:31 UTC 
Verify against package qemu-kvm-tools-1.5.3-123.el7.x86_64:

Move to verified per comment 8, ht issue is tracked by Bug 1375507 - ht flag is missing when there is sockets option in smp
