Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Nova's libvirt driver now allows the specification of granular CPU feature flags when configuring CPU models. One benefit of this change is the alleviation of a performance degradation experienced on guests running with certain Intel-based virtual CPU models after application of the "Meltdown" CVE fixes. This guest performance impact is reduced by exposing the CPU feature flag 'PCID' ("Process-Context ID") to the *guest* CPU, assuming that the PCID flag is available in the physical hardware itself. For more details, refer to the documentation of ``[libvirt]/cpu_model_extra_flags`` in ``nova.conf`` for usage details.

    Handle libvirt/cpu_model_extra_flags option
    
    This allows for specifying granular CPU feature flags when specifying
    CPU models.
    It should be set only if 'cpu_mode' and 'cpu_model' attributes are set
    and cpu_mode attribute value is set to "custom".
