How to set cpu args?

[avoidik]

Hello all,

How can I set additional cpu args? In addition to qemu64 I would like to enable extra features such as +sse4.2,+sse4.1,+sse,+sse2,+avx,+avx2. This way I want to achieve at least x86-64-v2 level. Please suggest.

I was able to find only a workaround, but is there a better way to do this?

export QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_64="qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu qemu64,+sse4.2,+sse4.1,+sse,+sse2,+avx,+avx2"

In your lima.yaml file you should be able to write:

cpuType:
  x86_64: qemu64,+sse4.2,+sse4.1,+sse,+sse2,+avx,+avx2
