    KVM: x86: Do not return host topology information from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID · 45e966fc
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    Passing the host topology to the guest is almost certainly wrong
    and will confuse the scheduler.  In addition, several fields of
    these CPUID leaves vary on each processor; it is simply impossible to
    return the right values from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID in such a way that
    they can be passed to KVM_SET_CPUID2.
    
    The values that will most likely prevent confusion are all zeroes.
    Userspace will have to override it anyway if it wishes to present a
    specific topology to the guest.
