I finally got (temporary) hold of a EPYC 7713 which should work well for this.
Initial detection is the same on Focal and Hirsute <mode name='host-model' supported='yes'> <model fallback='forbid'>EPYC-Rome</model> <vendor>AMD</vendor> <feature policy='require' name='pcid'/> <feature policy='require' name='x2apic'/> <feature policy='require' name='tsc-deadline'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='require' name='tsc_adjust'/> <feature policy='require' name='erms'/> <feature policy='require' name='vaes'/> <feature policy='require' name='vpclmulqdq'/> <feature policy='require' name='spec-ctrl'/> <feature policy='require' name='stibp'/> <feature policy='require' name='arch-capabilities'/> <feature policy='require' name='ssbd'/> <feature policy='require' name='xsaves'/> <feature policy='require' name='cmp_legacy'/> <feature policy='require' name='invtsc'/> <feature policy='require' name='amd-ssbd'/> <feature policy='require' name='virt-ssbd'/> <feature policy='require' name='rdctl-no'/> <feature policy='require' name='skip-l1dfl-vmentry'/> <feature policy='require' name='mds-no'/> <feature policy='require' name='pschange-mc-no'/> </mode> # virsh domcapabilities | grep EPYC <model fallback='forbid'>EPYC-Rome</model> <model usable='yes'>EPYC-Rome</model> <model usable='yes'>EPYC-IBPB</model> <model usable='yes'>EPYC</model> # qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu ? | grep EPYC x86 EPYC (alias configured by machine type) x86 EPYC-IBPB (alias of EPYC-v2) x86 EPYC-Rome (alias configured by machine type) x86 EPYC-Rome-v1 AMD EPYC-Rome Processor x86 EPYC-v1 AMD EPYC Processor x86 EPYC-v2 AMD EPYC Processor (with IBPB) x86 EPYC-v3 AMD EPYC Processor So far all just confirming your reports :-) I tried all combinations of Focal/Hirsute as Host/Guest Using Host-passthrough, Host-model and the newest named type available at the time EPYC-Rome. With EPYC-Rome being just that <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'> <model fallback='forbid'>EPYC-Rome</model> </cpu> I can also confirm that focal works but Hirsute guests trigger the mentioned MSR error: $ uvt-kvm ssh h-on-f "sudo journalctl" | grep MSR Apr 15 10:31:01 h-on-h kernel: unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xda0 (tried to write 0x0000000000000000) at rIP: 0xffffffff9027fa44 (native_write_msr+0x4/0x30) Apr 15 10:31:01 h-on-h kernel: unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0xda0 at rIP: 0xffffffff9027f968 (native_read_msr+0x8/0x40) This behavior is the same on Focal&Hirsute. Note: This does not break/abort the guest, but it is bad still. Thanks for your awesome testing BTW - it seems all I can do is seconding your findings.
