KVM With Linux 6.12 Will Advertise AVX10.1 Support To Guest VMs
The KVM x86/x86_64 changes were merged today as we are nearly done with the Linux 6.12 merge window.
One of the KVM x86 changes worth mentioning this cycle is Intel now has AVX10.1 support advertised to user-space for guest virtual machines (VMs). With AVX10.1 on Granite Rapids there isn't new functionality but just the new CPUID enumeration and that's what the changes are in place for now with Linux 6.12 KVM. This common enumeration code will help there for getting those upcoming Advanced Vector Extensions revisions exposed to guest VMs.
