Description of problem: On s390x, host-passthrough cpu definition causes error. By manpage for hypervisor-cpu-compare: "The guest CPU definition is the <cpu> element and its contents from the domain XML definition" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-client-6.0.0-24.module+el8.3.0+7105+0cc49779.s390x How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define passthrough-cpu.xml as <cpu check="none" mode="host-passthrough" /> 2. # virsh hypervisor-cpu-compare /root/passthrough-cpu.xml Actual results: error: Failed to compare hypervisor CPU with /root/passthrough-cpu.xml error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'query-cpu-model-comparison': Invalid parameter type for 'modelb.name', expected: string Expected results: Similar to x86_64 The CPU provided by hypervisor on the host is a superset of CPU described in /root/passthrough-cpu.xml Additional info: Not sure if expected result on x86_64 makes sense; shouldn't it be identical? Maybe this is related to the parsing issue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1850614
------- Comment From Collin.Walling 2020-06-25 18:00 EDT------- I've proposed a single patch to the libvirt list to amend this. There may be some non-s390 specific things that need to be accounted for, but this should set things in the right direction. The patch can be found here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-June/msg01232.html

If I got the replies there right, the first approach was rejected? Did you ever send a v2? Anyway, it's getting late for RHEL 8.3, so I moved the Target Release to 8.4 now.
------- Comment From Collin.Walling 2020-09-15 10:06 EDT------- I posted a ping to the list last month, CC'ing the appropriate maintainer this time asking for guidance. Still no response. I'll spin up a v2 with the minor altercations that were discussed and see if it gets attention.
Hi! Seems like the patch is still not upstream? I'm moving this into the backlog for the time being, please let us know once the patch gets merged upstream.
Updated the patch proposed in #2 as https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-September/msg01177.html
Patch is upstream now: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/9c6996124f4ef1635fbfe47090dadaf5a12b42e9 ("qemu: substitute missing model name for host-passthrough") Tim, do you think it's still feasible to backport this patch for RHEL8.4? If so, I'd move it out of the backlog back into the release...
I can confirm that backporting is feasible and easy. I do not expect any adverse side effects.
