10# Virtual CPU model.
11#
12# A CPU model consists of the name of a CPU definition, to which
13# delta changes are applied (e.g. features added/removed). Most magic values
14# that an architecture might require should be hidden behind the name.
15# However, if required, architectures can expose relevant properties.
16#
17# @name: the name of the CPU definition the model is based on
18# @props: a dictionary of QOM properties to be applied

27# @CpuModelExpansionType:
28#
29# An enumeration of CPU model expansion types.
30#
31# @static: Expand to a static CPU model, a combination of a static base
32#          model name and property delta changes. As the static base model will
33#          never change, the expanded CPU model will be the same, independent of
34#          QEMU version, machine type, machine options, and accelerator options.
35#          Therefore, the resulting model can be used by tooling without having
36#          to specify a compatibility machine - e.g. when displaying the "host"
37#          model. The @static CPU models are migration-safe.
38
39# @full: Expand all properties. The produced model is not guaranteed to be
40#        migration-safe, but allows tooling to get an insight and work with
41#        model details.
42#
43# Note: When a non-migration-safe CPU model is expanded in static mode, some
44#       features enabled by the CPU model may be omitted, because they can't be
45#       implemented by a static CPU model definition (e.g. cache info passthrough and
46#       PMU passthrough in x86). If you need an accurate representation of the
47#       features enabled by a non-migration-safe CPU model, use @full. If you need a
48#       static representation that will keep ABI compatibility even when changing QEMU
49#       version or machine-type, use @static (but keep in mind that some features may
50#       be omitted).
