+[Bug] QEMU TCG warnings after commit c6bd2dd63420 - HTT / CMP_LEG bits
+
+Hi Community,
+
+This email contains 3 bugs appear to share the same root cause.
+
+[1] We ran into the following warnings when running QEMU v10.0.0 in TCG mode:
+
+qemu-system-x86_64 \
+  -machine q35 \
+  -m 4G -smp 4 \
+  -kernel ./arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
+  -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd \
+  -drive file=~/kernel/rootfs.ext4,index=0,format=raw,media=disk \
+  -drive file=~/kernel/swap.img,index=1,format=raw,media=disk \
+  -nographic \
+  -append 'root=/dev/sda rw resume=/dev/sdb console=ttyS0 nokaslr'
+qemu-system-x86_64: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature:
+CPUID.01H:EDX.ht [bit 28]
+qemu-system-x86_64: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature:
+CPUID.80000001H:ECX.cmp-legacy [bit 1]
+(repeats 4 times, once per vCPU)
+Tracing the history shows that commit c6bd2dd63420 "i386/cpu: Set up CPUID_HT in
+x86_cpu_expand_features() instead of cpu_x86_cpuid()" is what introduced the
+warnings.
+Since that commit, TCG unconditionally advertises HTT (CPUID 1 EDX[28]) and
+CMP_LEG (CPUID 8000_0001 ECX[1]). Because TCG itself has no SMT support, these
+bits trigger the warnings above.
+[2] Also, Zhao pointed me to a similar report on GitLab:
+https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2894
+The symptoms there look identical to what we're seeing.
+By convention we file one issue per email, but these two appear to share the
+same root cause, so I'm describing them together here.
+[3] My colleague Alan noticed what appears to be a related problem: if we launch
+a guest with '-cpu <model>,-ht --enable-kvm', which means explicitly removing
+the ht flag, but the guest still reports HT(cat /proc/cpuinfo in linux guest)
+enabled. In other words, under KVM the ht bit seems to be forced on even when
+the user tries to disable it.

+I haven't found any other thread :-).
+
+By the way, just curious, in what cases do you need to disbale the HT
+flag? "-smp 4" means 4 cores with 1 thread per core, and is it not
+enough?
+
+As for the “-ht” behavior, I'm also unsure whether this should be fixed
+or not - one possible consideration is whether “-ht” would be useful.

+I wasn't trying to target any specific use case, using "-ht" was simply a way to
