[Xen-devel] CMCI support in Xen - what OS has been tested with it?

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

I've been tracking an bug with Solaris where all of them stopped working
with Xen 4.3 and later. I narrowed it down to this commit
975b5bdf27031adef6587bb5c92b7a5800e051f1 ("x86: vMCE emulation") which
now toggles the MCE to advertise the CMCI support.

If I do:
diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/cpu/mcheck/vmce.c b/xen/arch/x86/cpu/mcheck/vmce.c
index ed00f7c..a91bcb7 100644

 #define INTEL_GUEST_MCG_CAP (MCG_SER_P |       \

-                             MCG_CMCI_P |      \
                              GUEST_MC_BANK_NUM)
 
 #define AMD_GUEST_MCG_CAP GUEST_MC_BANK_NUM

or:

cpuid=['1:edx=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx0xxxxxx0xxxxxxx']
(mask MCE and MCA cpuid flags)

then they boot nicely, but that is of course not the long-term
solution.

The guest stops booting - and I am tracking down what it is that it
expects - but in meantime I was wondering what type of guests have been
tested for CMCI support? Aka, which ones are suppose to work with this?

Thanks!
