conf: Remove some firmware validation checks libvirt 8.6.0 introduced these checks and very clearly delineated two possible firmware selection scenarios: manual firmware selection, where the user is responsible for providing all information, and firmware autoselection, where a list of desired features is provided and everything else is handled by libvirt. In the interest of maintaining the clear separation between these two scenarios, setting most attributes when firmware autoselection is active will result in the configuration being rejected. This works fine, but is unnecessarily restrictive: in most cases, the additional information that the user has provided matches the information that libvirt would have discovered on its own by looking at firmware descriptors, and asking the user to scrub it from the XML only result in pointless friction. Remove these checks entirely. Unsurprisingly, this results in a few test cases that were rejected until now to suddenly start working and producing sensible results. The firmware-auto-efi-loader-path-nonstandard test case is notable: while we can now enable the xml2xml part of the test, the xml2argv part is still failing, although in a slightly different way. This is expected: since the firmware binary is a non-standard one, libvirt is unable to figure out the missing information from a firmware descriptor, and the configuration is still ultimately an invalid one. However, if we were to find such a configuration on disk at daemon startup, we would not ignore it completely and instead would offer the user a chance to fix it.

qemu: Don't drop firmware type/features information Now that we no longer reject configurations that include both this information and explicit firmware details, as long of course as everything is internally consistent, and that we've ensured that we produce maximally compatible XML on migration, we can stop stripping this information at the end of the firmware selection process. There are several advantages to keeping this information around: * if the user wants to change the firmware configuration for an existing VM, they can simply drop the <loader> and <nvram> elements, tweak the firmware autoselection parameters and let libvirt pick a firmware that matches on the new requirements; * management applications can inspect the XML and easily figure out firmware-related information without having to reverse-engineer them based on some opaque paths. Overall, this change makes things more transparent and easier to understand. The improvement is so significant that, in a follow-up commit, we're going to ensure that this information is available in even more cases.

qemu: Automatically add firmware type/features information Even when the user is not taking advantage of firmware autoselection and instead manually providing all the necessary information, in most cases they're still going to use firmware builds that are provided by the OS vendor, are installed in standard paths and come with a corresponding firmware descriptor. Similarly, even when the user is not guiding the autoselection process by specifying the desired status of certain features and instead is relying on the system-level descriptor priority being set up correctly, libvirt will still ultimately decide to use a specific descriptor, which includes information about the firmware's features. In both these cases, take the additional information that were obtained from the firmware descriptor and reflect them back into the domain XML, where they can be conveniently inspected by the user and management applications alike.

conf: Always format firmware image format The code historically skipped the 'format' field for 'raw' images as we didn't output it when no format support was present. Stop misleading and output the format also for 'raw' images.

conf: domain: Output 'format' attribute of '<nvram>' also for' raw images As the 'format' field is meant to carry the format of the nvram image we should output it even when the image is 'raw'. Currently this is not a problem but later patches will allow mismatch between the nvram format and loader format (as nothing really technically requires them to be the same and this then could become problem). Modify the condition and update tests. Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com>
