691638 – x2apic is not exported to guest when boot guest with -cpu host

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.

Comment 2 Dor Laor 2011-03-29 09:03:07 UTC

Of course it is not supported, x2apix exists only for virtualization while -cpu host should expose the physical cpu capabilities.

Comment 3 Suqin Huang 2011-04-22 02:10:17 UTC

reopen this bug according to  bug 697053

Comment 5 Eduardo Habkost 2011-05-30 14:27:45 UTC

Moving to NEW, bugs assigned to virt-maint shouldn't be on ASSIGNED.

Comment 13 Eduardo Habkost 2012-10-25 13:35:48 UTC

Patches submitted upstream:
 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/99375
 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/177698

Comment 17 FuXiangChun 2012-11-05 02:35:03 UTC

verify this issue with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.334.el6 and kernel 2.6.32-338.el6.x86_64(because bug 869216,so kernel need to update 2.6.32-338).

verify to steps:
1.boot guest with -cpu host

2.check cpuinfo in guest
