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.

Fixed In Version: libvirt-4.5.0-10.el7_6.4
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, it was not possible to migrate domains with a host-model guest CPU on systems with the arch-facilities CPU feature enabled, as the feature does not support migration. This update resolves the issue by marking the feature as non-migratable and verifying that libvirt does not use the feature when starting a domain with a host-model guest CPU. As a result, new domains with a host-model guest CPU migrate successfully, and existing domains migrate after they are stopped and restarted.

Comment 6 jiyan 2019-01-17 07:02:40 UTC 
Version:
libvirt-4.5.0-10.el7_6.4.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-160.el7_6.1.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Check the related cpu flags in physical host
# lscpu |grep arch
Flags:                 fpu vme de ... avx512_vnni spec_ctrl intel_stibp flush_l1d arch_capabilities

2. Prepare a shutdown VM with the following configuration
# virsh domstate rhel76
shut off

# virsh dumpxml rhel76 --inactive |grep "<cpu" -A3
  <cpu mode='host-model' check='partial'>
    <model fallback='allow'/>
  </cpu>

3. Start VM, check dumpxml file and qemu cmd line 
# virsh start rhel76
Domain rhel76 started

# virsh dumpxml rhel76 |grep "<cpu" -A30
  <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'>
    <model fallback='forbid'>Skylake-Server-IBRS</model>
    <vendor>Intel</vendor>
    <feature policy='disable' name='ds'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='acpi'/>
    <feature policy='require' name='ss'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='ht'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='tm'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='pbe'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='dtes64'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='monitor'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='ds_cpl'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='vmx'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='smx'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='est'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='tm2'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='xtpr'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='pdcm'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='dca'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='osxsave'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='tsc_adjust'/>
    <feature policy='require' name='clflushopt'/>
    <feature policy='require' name='pku'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='ospke'/>
    <feature policy='require' name='stibp'/>
    <feature policy='require' name='ssbd'/>
    <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='arat'/>
  </cpu>

# ps -ef |grep rhel76 
qemu     115044      1 99 01:52 ?        00:00:40 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name rhel76 -S -machine pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0,accel=kvm,usb=off,dump-guest-core=off 
-cpu Skylake-Server-IBRS,+ds,+acpi,+ss,+ht,+tm,+pbe,+dtes64,+monitor,+ds_cpl,+vmx,+smx,+est,+tm2,+xtpr,+pdcm,+dca,+osxsave,+tsc_adjust,+clflushopt,+pku,+ospke,+stibp,+ssbd ...

In step-2 and step-3, there is no 'arch-facilities' related info in dumpxml and qemu cmd line, which is expected.
Move this bug to be verified.
