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

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