# @CpuModelInfo:
#
# Virtual CPU model.
#
# A CPU model consists of the name of a CPU definition, to which
# delta changes are applied (e.g. features added/removed). Most magic values
# that an architecture might require should be hidden behind the name.
# However, if required, architectures can expose relevant properties.
#
# @name: the name of the CPU definition the model is based on
# @props: a dictionary of QOM properties to be applied
#
# Since: 2.8.0

# @CpuModelExpansionType:
#
# An enumeration of CPU model expansion types.
#
# @static: Expand to a static CPU model, a combination of a static base
#          model name and property delta changes. As the static base model will
#          never change, the expanded CPU model will be the same, independent of
#          QEMU version, machine type, machine options, and accelerator options.
#          Therefore, the resulting model can be used by tooling without having
#          to specify a compatibility machine - e.g. when displaying the "host"
#          model. The @static CPU models are migration-safe.

# @full: Expand all properties. The produced model is not guaranteed to be
#        migration-safe, but allows tooling to get an insight and work with
#        model details.
#
# Note: When a non-migration-safe CPU model is expanded in static mode, some
# features enabled by the CPU model may be omitted, because they can't be
# implemented by a static CPU model definition (e.g. cache info passthrough and
# PMU passthrough in x86). If you need an accurate representation of the
# features enabled by a non-migration-safe CPU model, use @full. If you need a
# static representation that will keep ABI compatibility even when changing QEMU
# version or machine-type, use @static (but keep in mind that some features may
# be omitted).

# @query-cpu-model-comparison:
#
# Compares two CPU models, returning how they compare in a specific
# configuration. The results indicates how both models compare regarding
# runnability. This result can be used by tooling to make decisions if a
# certain CPU model will run in a certain configuration or if a compatible
# CPU model has to be created by baselining.
#
# Usually, a CPU model is compared against the maximum possible CPU model
# of a certain configuration (e.g. the "host" model for KVM). If that CPU
# model is identical or a subset, it will run in that configuration.
#
# The result returned by this command may be affected by:
#
# * QEMU version: CPU models may look different depending on the QEMU version.
#   (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
# * machine-type: CPU model may look different depending on the machine-type.
#   (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
# * machine options (including accelerator): in some architectures, CPU models
#   may look different depending on machine and accelerator options. (Except for
#   CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
# * "-cpu" arguments and global properties: arguments to the -cpu option and
#   global properties may affect expansion of CPU models. Using
#   query-cpu-model-expansion while using these is not advised.
#
# Some architectures may not support comparing CPU models. s390x supports
# comparing CPU models.
#
# Returns: a CpuModelBaselineInfo. Returns an error if comparing CPU models is
#          not supported, if a model cannot be used, if a model contains
#          an unknown cpu definition name, unknown properties or properties

# @CpuDefinitionInfo:
#
# Virtual CPU definition.
#

# @migration-safe: whether a CPU definition can be safely used for

#                  when migrating between different QEMU versions and between
#                  hosts with different sets of (hardware or software)
#                  capabilities. If not provided, information is not available
#                  and callers should not assume the CPU definition to be
#                  migration-safe. (since 2.8)
#
# @static: whether a CPU definition is static and will not change depending on
#          QEMU version, machine type, machine options and accelerator options.
#          A static model is always migration-safe. (since 2.8)
#
# @unavailable-features: List of properties that prevent
#                        the CPU model from running in the current
#                        host. (since 2.8)
# @typename: Type name that can be used as argument to @device-list-properties,
#            to introspect properties configurable using -cpu or -global.
#            (since 2.9)
#
# @alias-of: Name of CPU model this model is an alias for.  The target of the
#            CPU model alias may change depending on the machine type.
#            Management software is supposed to translate CPU model aliases
#            in the VM configuration, because aliases may stop being
#            migration-safe in the future (since 4.1)
#
# @unavailable-features is a list of QOM property names that
# represent CPU model attributes that prevent the CPU from running.
# If the QOM property is read-only, that means there's no known
# way to make the CPU model run in the current host. Implementations
# that choose not to provide specific information return the
# property name "type".
# If the property is read-write, it means that it MAY be possible
# to run the CPU model in the current host if that property is
# changed. Management software can use it as hints to suggest or
# choose an alternative for the user, or just to generate meaningful
# error messages explaining why the CPU model can't be used.
# If @unavailable-features is an empty list, the CPU model is
# runnable using the current host and machine-type.
# If @unavailable-features is not present, runnability
# information for the CPU is not available.
