KVM CPUID bits

=====================================================
|
|
|
|
A guest running on a kvm host, can check some of its features using
|
|
cpuid. This is not always guaranteed to work, since userspace can
|
|
mask-out some, or even all KVM-related cpuid features before launching
|
|
a guest.
|
|
|
|
KVM cpuid functions are:
|
|
|
|
function: KVM_CPUID_SIGNATURE (0x40000000)
|
|
returns : eax = 0,
|
|
ebx = 0x4b4d564b,
|
|
ecx = 0x564b4d56,
|
|
edx = 0x4d.
|
|
Note that this value in ebx, ecx and edx corresponds to the string "KVMKVMKVM".
|
|
This function queries the presence of KVM cpuid leafs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
function: define KVM_CPUID_FEATURES (0x40000001)
|
|
returns : ebx, ecx, edx = 0
|
|
eax = and OR'ed group of (1 << flag), where each flags is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
flag || value || meaning
