New CPU models mostly inherit features from ancestor Skylake, while addin new
features: UMIP, New Instructions ( PCONIFIG (server only), WBNOINVD,
AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, AVX512_VNNI, VPCLMULQDQ, VAES, AVX512_BITALG),
Intel PT and 5-level paging (Server only). As well as
IA32_PRED_CMD, SSBD support for speculative execution
side channel mitigations.
Note:
For 5-level paging, Guest physical address width can be configured, with
parameter "phys-bits". Unless explicitly specified, we still use its default
value, even for Icelake-Server cpu model.
At present, hold on expose IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES to guest, as 1) This MSR
actually presents more than 1 'feature', maintainers are considering expanding current
features presentation of only CPUIDs to MSR bits; 2) a reasonable default value
for MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES needs to settled first. These 2 are actully
beyond Icelake CPU model itself but fundamental. So split these work apart
and do it later.
