[libvirt] [PATCH for-2.9 00/17] target-i386: Implement query-cpu-model-expansion
This series implements query-cpu-model-expansion on target-i386.
QAPI / interface changes
------------------------
When implementing this, I have noticed that the "host" CPU model
in i386 includes some migration-unsafe features that can't be
translated to any migration-safe representation: "pmu", and
"host-cache-info".
To be able to handle the migration-unsafe features, I have
extended the query-cpu-model-expansion definition to be clear
about what happens to those features when the CPU model is
expanded (in short: static expansion removes them, full expansion
keeps them).
I also added "static" and "migration-safe" fields to the return
value of query-cpu-model-expansion, so callers can know if the
the expanded representation is static and migration-safe.
Test code
---------
I have added a Python test script for the feature, that will try
multiple combinations of the expansion operation, and see if the
returned data keeps matches some constratins.
The test script works with the s390x query-cpu-model-expansion
command, except that: 1) I couldn't test it with KVM; 2) qtest.py
error handling when QEMU refuses to run is unreliable (so the
script needs runnability information to be availble in TCG mode,
too, to skip not-runnable CPU models and avoid problems).
Future versions of the test script could run a arch-specific
CPUID-dump guest binary, and validate data seen by the guest
directly. While we don't do that, the script validates all QOM
properties on the CPU objects looking for unexpected changes. At
least in the case of x86, the QOM properties will include lots of
the CPUID data seen by the guest, giving us decent coverage.
Patches from other series
-------------------------
This series includes patches from other series, just to help on
the implementation of the test code:
* "qmp: Report QOM type name on query-cpu-definitions", that
was already submitted for 2.9
* qemu.py, qtest.py, and tests/Makefile.include changes
