Added

  • Added support for custom CPU templates allowing users to adjust vCPU features
    exposed to the guest via CPUID, MSRs and ARM registers.
  • Introduced V1N1 static CPU template for ARM to represent Neoverse V1 CPU
    as Neoverse N1.
  • Added support for the virtio-rng entropy device. The device is optional. A
    single device can be enabled per VM using the /entropy endpoint.
  • Added a cpu-template-helper tool for assisting with creating and managing
    custom CPU templates.

Changed

  • Set FDP_EXCPTN_ONLY bit (CPUID.7h.0:EBX[6]) and ZERO_FCS_FDS bit
    (CPUID.7h.0:EBX[13]) in Intel's CPUID normalization process.

Fixed

  • Fixed feature flags in T2S CPU template on Intel Ice Lake.
  • Fixed CPUID leaf 0xb to be exposed to guests running on AMD host.
  • Fixed a performance regression in the jailer logic for closing open file
    descriptors. Related to:
    #3542.
  • A race condition that has been identified between the API thread and the VMM
    thread due to a misconfiguration of the api_event_fd.
  • Fixed CPUID leaf 0x1 to disable perfmon and debug feature on x86 host.
  • Fixed passing through cache information from host in CPUID leaf 0x80000006.
  • Fixed the T2S CPU template to set the RRSBA bit of the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES
    MSR to 1 in accordance with an Intel microcode update.
  • Fixed the T2CL CPU template to pass through the RSBA and RRSBA bits of the
    IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR from the host in accordance with an Intel microcode
    update.
  • Fixed passing through cache information from host in CPUID leaf 0x80000005.
  • Fixed the T2A CPU template to disable SVM (nested virtualization).
  • Fixed the T2A CPU template to set EferLmsleUnsupported bit
    (CPUID.80000008h:EBX[20]), which indicates that EFER[LMSLE] is not supported.
