From a750b3d4e930a6c02f7fa8433b8fb730c5e075ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Message-Id: From: Pavel Hrdina Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2019 10:22:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] domcapabilities: remove recommended CPU features from security features MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit These features are only recommended to be enabled since they improve performance of the VMs if security features are enabled. pcid is a very useful perf feature, but missing in some silicon so not portable. pdpe1gb lets the guest use 1 GB pages which is good for perf but again not all silicon can do it. amd-ssbd is a security feature which fixes the same SSBD flaws as the virt-ssbd feature does. virt-ssbd is usable across all CPU models affected by SSBD, while amd-ssbd is only available in very new silicon. So virt-ssbd is the bette rchoice. amd-no-ssb just indicates that the CPU is not affected by SSBD, so not critical to expose. I expect a future named CPU model will include that where appropriate.
