Bug description:
[Impact]
Add the following feature bits for EPYC-Milan model and bump the version.
vaes : Vector VAES(ENC|DEC), VAES(ENC|DEC)LAST instruction
support
vpclmulqdq : Vector VPCLMULQDQ instruction support
stibp-always-on : Single Thread Indirect Branch Prediction Mode has
enhanced
performance and may be left Always on
amd-psfd : Predictive Store Forward Disable
no-nested-data-bp : Processor ignores nested data breakpoints
lfence-always-serializing : LFENCE instruction is always serializing
null-sel-clr-base : Null Selector Clears Base. When this bit is
set, a null segment load clears the segment
base
[Test Plan]
* First of all we'll (and have in advance) run general regression
tests
* Qemu shall show to be aware of the new types
# qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu ? | grep EPYC-Milan
x86 EPYC-Milan (alias configured by machine type)
x86 EPYC-Milan-v1 AMD EPYC-Milan Processor
x86 EPYC-Milan-v2 AMD EPYC-Milan Processor
[Where problems could occur]
* There are two areas to look at
a) compat behavior on old systems - e.g. libvirt would now detect IBRS
on such AMD chips and one might wonder about the change.
E.g. compatibility would exist between old-code/new-code/old->new
code; but any action (e.g. suspend resume) from new to old code
might run into trouble (not supported that way but worth to mention
for awareness)
b) Migrations between systems - this should be covered by chip
versioning but still is worth to mention. Versioning will recognize
a formerly started system as v1 and continue to handle it that way.
Only new started guests would become v2 and behave the new and
improved way.
