Hi, Paolo, Sorry for mistaken expression.
Without this patch, HAXM v7.8.0 will break support for QEMU and the HAXM versions older than 7.8.0 still can support QEMU with this patch. It will work on any version besides HAXM v7.8.0.

The reason why the variable xcr0 must be added to the header file of QEMU is because HAXM needs QEMU to allocate memory from user space and pass it to the kernel. This patch is only used to expand the buffer size of the structure, and HAXM will use and maintain this variable. Without this patch, HAXM v7.8.0 will break support for QEMU and the HAXM versions older than 7.8.0 cannot support QEMU with this patch, either. It will work on any version since HAXM v7.8.0. I know QEMU treats the structure as a black box, but HAXM never supported xcr0 before and the structure size is not enough if it has been supported. We have verified the patched QEMU and it can launch all guest OSes. Thanks.

Currently, the implementation of HAXM is simple, we did not synchronize the vCPU register for xcr0 from QEMU. HAXM will handle the xcr0 state within the kernel space, including initialization, update, etc. This patch adds the xcr0 variable for allocating extra 8-byte buffer occupation, which will be passed between QEMU and HAXM when hax_sync_vcpu_state() is invoked. We have verified the patched QEMU and it can launch all guest OSes. Thanks for your comments. I don't understand the patch very well, and I am on the phone so it's hard to check QEMU's HAXM support sources right now. Did HAXM 7.8.0 break support for QEMU without this patch, and likewise will QEMU with this patch will HAXM versions older than 7.8.0? Or does this work on any version because QEMU treats the struct as a black box?

It is missing the register use in hax_sync_vcpu_register()... Regards, Phil.
