[libvirt] [PATCH v2 00/20] Fix regression caused by recent CPU driver changes
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1441662
when I was enhancing libvirt's guest CPU configuration code to be able
to really ensure stable guest CPU ABI, I added a new attribute
//cpu/@check which is nicely backward compatible... an old libvirt will
just ignore it. However, even if check='full' will be ignored, an old
libvirt will still see the updated CPU definition (features added or
removed by the hypervisor will be shown there). And because we need QEMU
2.9.0 to check what features are going to be added or removed before we
actually start the domain, migrating such domain to an older libvirt or
QEMU may fail if QEMU enables a feature which is not supported by the
host CPU. Known features causing problems are, e.g., x2apic, hypervisor,
and arat. To make things even worse, updating a CPU definition with the
automatically added/removed features can be done since QEMU 1.5.0.
Even save/restore or snapshot revert on a single host running new
libvirt and QEMU < 2.9.0 is now affected by this regression.
This series fixes the regression by storing the original guest CPU
definition in migratable XML and sending the updated CPU in a side
channel (a migration or save cookie).
