Subject: [PATCH] qemu: avoid launching non-x86 guests with APIC-EOI setting
a41c76
a41c76
The "<apic/>" feature, although it's available only for x86 guests,
a41c76
can be declared in the domain XML of other archs without errors.
a41c76
But setting its 'eoi' attribute will break QEMU. For "<apic eoi='on'/>",
a41c76
in a ppc64 guest:
a41c76
a41c76
qemu-kvm: Expected key=value format, found +kvm_pv_eoi
a41c76
a41c76
A similar error happens with eoi='off'.
a41c76
a41c76
One can argue that it's better to simply forbid launching non-x86
a41c76
guests with "<apic/>" declared in the XML - it is a feature that
a41c76
the architecture doesn't support and this would make it clearer
a41c76
about it. This is sensible, but there are non-x86 guests that are
a41c76
running with "<apic/>" declared in the domain (and A LOT of guests
a41c76
running with "<acpi/>" for that matter, probably reminiscent of x86
a41c76
templates that were reused for other archs) that will stop working if we
a41c76
go this route.
a41c76
a41c76
A more subtle approach is to detect if the 'eoi' element is being set
a41c76
for non-x86 guests and warn the user about it with a better error
a41c76
message than the one QEMU provides. This is the new error message
a41c76
when any value is set for the 'eoi' element in a ppc64 XML:
a41c76
a41c76
error: unsupported configuration: The 'eoi' attribute of the 'apic'
a41c76
feature is not supported for architecture 'ppc64' or machine type
a41c76
'pseries'.
