[PATCH v3 08/13] libs/guest: make a cpu policy compatible with older Xen versions
Posted by Roger Pau Monne 4 years, 9 months ago
Older Xen versions used to expose some CPUID bits which are no longer
exposed by default. In order to keep a compatible behavior with
guests migrated from versions of Xen that don't encode the CPUID data
on the migration stream introduce a function that sets the same bits
as older Xen versions.

This is pulled out from xc_cpuid_apply_policy which already has this
logic present.

No functional change intended.

I'm concerned of the naming, and in particular the two very different
meanings of "compatible" for xc_cpu_policy_calc_compatible() and this
new one. I'm afraid I don't have a good suggestion though, short of
making the name even longer and inserting "backwards".

Would xc_cpu_policy_make_compat_412 be acceptable?

That's the more concise one I can think of.

Thanks, Roger.

Hmm, maybe (perhaps with an underscore inserted between 4 and 12). Yet
(sorry) a comment in the function says "since Xen 4.13", which includes
changes that have happened later. Therefore it's not really clear to me
whether the function really _only_ deals with the 4.12 / 4.13 boundary.
