    qemu: Add capability for CFPC pSeries feature · a0a2c8ab
    Daniel Henrique Barboza 提交于
    CFPC (Cache Flush on Privilege Change) is one of the capabilities
    added to QEMU to mitigate Spectre vulnerabilities in Power chips.
    It was implemented in QEMU 2.12 by commit 6898aed77f46.
    
    This capability is still used today due to differences in how
    the host setup (hardware and firmware/kernel) can handle this
    mitigation. Its default value also varies with the pseries machine
    version of the time. There's also certain OSes, like AIX, that
    might not support the default value of the pseries machine the
    guest uses.
    
    Exposing this in the Libvirt XML as a feature will allow users to tune
    CFPC values in a cleaner way, instead of hacking parameters in
    <qemu:commandline> elements.
