Userspace can use the information returned by this ioctl to construct +cpuid information presented to guests consuming Hyper-V enlightenments (e.g. +Windows or Hyper-V guests). + +CPUID feature leaves returned by this ioctl are defined by Hyper-V Top Level +Functional Specification (TLFS). These leaves can't be obtained with +KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID ioctl because some of them intersect with KVM feature +leaves (0x40000000, 0x40000001). + +Currently, the following list of CPUID leaves are returned: + HYPERV_CPUID_VENDOR_AND_MAX_FUNCTIONS + HYPERV_CPUID_INTERFACE + HYPERV_CPUID_VERSION + HYPERV_CPUID_FEATURES + HYPERV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO + HYPERV_CPUID_IMPLEMENT_LIMITS + HYPERV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES + +HYPERV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES leaf is only exposed when Enlightened VMCS was +enabled on the corresponding vCPU (KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS). + +Userspace invokes KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID by passing a kvm_cpuid2 structure +with the 'nent' field indicating the number of entries in the variable-size +array 'entries'. If the number of entries is too low to describe all Hyper-V +feature leaves, an error (E2BIG) is returned. If the number is more or equal +to the number of Hyper-V feature leaves, the 'nent' field is adjusted to the +number of valid entries in the 'entries' array, which is then filled. + +'index' and 'flags' fields in 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry2' are currently reserved, +userspace should not expect to get any particular value there. 5.
