Bugzilla: 1049706
Brew scratch build: http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=6900764
Upstream status: not applicable (see notes below)
On RHEL-6 we already enabled x2apic by default on Conroe, Penryn,
Nehalem, Westmere, SandyBridge, Haswell, Opteron_G{1,2,3}.
To not introduce performance regressions, this patch changes the rhel7
machine-types to enable x2apic by default on all those models and also
on Opteron_G{4,5}.
Quoting the patch I sent upstream[1]:
> Normally we try to keep the CPU model definitions as close as the real
> CPUs as possible, but x2apic can be emulated by KVM without host CPU
> support for x2apic, and it improves performance by reducing APIC access
> overhead. x2apic emulation is available on KVM since 2009 (Linux
> 2.6.32-rc1), there's no reason for not enabling x2apic by default when
> running KVM.
Upstream status is "not applicable" because this patch touches only the
rhel7-specific PC code. I am doing this because my plan is to enable
x2apic by default even if upstream rejects my patch, and I want to get
this done as soon as possible to get more testing exposure.
[1] A patch was submitted to change cpu.c to add x2apic to those CPU models
upstream, and can be seen at:
Message-Id: <1390228618-21663-1-git-send-email-ehabkost@redhat.com>
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/251492
The upstream patch is a resend. A similar patch was sent in
September 2013, was ACKed by Gleb, but was ignored by all
maintainers.
Changes v2:
* Use the new pc_compat_rhel*() functions
* Disable x2apic explicitly on Opteron_G{4,5} on pc_compat_rhel650()
