Alright. I had in mind that (for bionic/cosmic) but we definitely have
to mention what you said (for started guests). About the migration, will
cause the issue and report back after cosmic/disco backport.
About needed CPU features. I could get the following... these are the
needed cpuflags to have a good mitigation status (and opt out from some
heavy workarounds/mitigations inside guest):
arch_capabilities=on
ssbd=on
md-clear=on,
wbnoinvd=off
bpb=off
virt-ssbd=off
rdctl-no=yes
ibrs-all=yes
rsba=yes
skip-l1dfl-vmentry=yes
ssb-no=yes
As we've discussed, I backported EOAN's libvirt 5.4.0-0ubuntu2 to Bionic
and checked support...
This is the difference when starting CPU as passthrough and CPU as CascadeLake:
$ diff -y one two | grep -E "(>|<)"
arch_capabilities <
arch_perfmon <
ept <
flexpriority <
ibrs_enhanced <
md_clear <
> pti
ss <
tpr_shadow <
tsc_adjust <
umip <
vmx <
vnmi <
vpid <
xsaves <
xtopology <
As you can see we have to enable the CPU features in order to fully
inform guest about HW mitigations and such. Going a bit deeper:
INTEL:
arch-capabilities
invpcid
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'>
<model fallback='allow'>Cascadelake-Server</model>
<feature policy='require' name='arch-capabilities'/>
<feature policy='require' name='invpcid'/>
</cpu>
AMD ONLY:
wbnoinvd
ibpb
virt-ssbd
saw support in libvirt XML files.
COULD NOT FIND specific support for the following CPU features:
ssbd
md-clear
bpb
ibrs-all
rdctl-no
rsba
skip-l1dfl-vmentry
I guess that we will have to backport this support in libvirt, in order
to allow QEMU to pick specific CPU mitigation flags.

This is the difference from executing QEMU with passthrough versus
specifying the Cascadelake Server WITHOUT picking up specific flags (as
they are unsupported):

Bug description:
[Impact]
* QEMU does not support IceLake and CascadeLake CPUs specific features.
* Most important feature to be supported is: IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR.
* With IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES, QEMU is able to advertise HW mitigations:
- Rogue Data Cache Load
- Enhanced IBRS
- RSB Alternate
- L1D flush need on VMENTRY
- speculative Store Bypass
to guests, as described in document:
Intel 336996-Speculative-Execution-Side-Channel-Mitigations.pdf
[Test Case]
* From Original Description:
"""
1. Boot up guest using: -cpu Cascadelake-Server

2. To check CPU ID related to features[FEAT_7_0_EDX]
：CPUID_7_0_EDX_ARCH_CAPABILITIES
Expected Result: Both host and guest's CPUID.07H EDX bit 29 should be
1.
Actual Result:
Host's cpuid: 0x00000007 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0xd39ffffb
ecx=0x00000818 edx=0xbc000000 (EDX bit 29=1)

ecx=0x00000818 edx=0x84000000 (EDX bit 29=0)

Target Release: 19.10

[Regression Potential]
* Most changes are related to CPU type definitions and its supported
features. They are all based in upstream changes but, for obvious
reasons, backporting and/or cherry-picking those could bring issues.
Biggest concern is breaking something that currently works. Right now,
the parts being changed that could affect other CPU types would be
related to a small refactoring of how the features are organized, and
that would be seen right away when trying to start a new VM after the
package is installed.
* Other tests, related to the features being backported, are being
done by our KVM regression tests, including migration combinations, to
reduce chances that a regression is introduced.
