Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: KVM: KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID now exposes TSC_DEADLINE
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 17:05:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250331150550.510320-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

TSC_DEADLINE is now advertised unconditionally by KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID,
since commit 9be4ec35d668 ("KVM: x86: Advertise TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER in
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID", 2024-12-18).  Adjust the documentation to
reflect the new behavior.

 The same is true for the ``KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT`` paravirtualized feature.
 
-CPU[EAX=1]:ECX[24] (TSC_DEADLINE) is not reported by ``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID``.
-It can be enabled if ``KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER`` is present and the kernel
-has enabled in-kernel emulation of the local APIC.
+On older versions of Linux, CPU[EAX=1]:ECX[24] (TSC_DEADLINE) is not reported by
+``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID``, but it can be enabled if ``KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER``

+On newer versions, ``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID`` does report the bit as available.
