9b49c2c6d3 docs: Fix dimm example
In the example for <memory model='dimm'/> we show how to
configure hugepages as backend. In the example we show 4MiB
hugepages which are non-standard and thus at the first glance may
mislead users thinking that a regular sized pages (4K) will be
used. Use 2MiB as the value instead.

4ffc807214 qemu: Honor 'restart' action for 'on_poweroff'
We simply terminate qemu instead of issuing a reset as the semantics of
the setting dictate.

Fix it by handling it identically to 'fake reboot'.

We need to forbid the combination of 'onReboot' -> 'destroy' and
'onPoweroff' -> reboot though as the handling would be hairy and it
honetly makes no sense.

2b81fbb22e qemu: Reject 'rename-restart' action for 'on_reboot'/'on_poweroff'/'on_crash'
The qemu driver didn't ever implement any meaningful handling for the
'rename-restart' action.

At this point the following handling would take place:

'on_reboot' set to 'rename-restart' is ignored on guest-initiated
reboots, the guest simply reboots.

For on_poweroff set to 'rename-restart' the following happens:

guest initiated shutdown -> 'destroy'
libvirt initiated shutdown -> 'reboot'

In addition when 'on_reboot' is 'destroy' in addition to 'on_poweroff'
being 'rename-restart' the guest is able to execute instructions after
issuing a reset before libvirt terminates it. This will be addressed
separately later.

Forbid the flag in the qemu def validator and update the documentation
to be factual.

0cc6f8931f capabilities: Expose NUMA interconnects
Links between NUMA nodes can have different latencies and
bandwidths. This info is newly defined in ACPI 6.2 under
Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) table. Linux kernel
learned how to report these values under sysfs and thus we can
expose them in our capabilities XML. The sysfs interface is
documented in kernel's Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst.

Long story short, two nodes can be in initiator-target
relationship. A node can be initiator if it has a CPU or a device
that's capable of initiating memory transfer. Therefore a node
that has just memory can only be target. An initiator-target link
can then have any combination of {bandwidth, latency} - {access,
read, write} attribute (6 in total). However, the standard says
access is applicable iff read and write values are the same.
Therefore, we really have just four combinations of attributes:
bandwidth-read, bandwidth-write, latency-read, latency-write.

This is the combination that kernel reports anyway.

Then, under /sys/system/devices/node/nodeX/acccessN/initiators we
find values for those 4 attributes and also symlinks named
"nodeN" which then represent initiators to nodeX. For instance:

  /sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/node0 -> ../../node0
  /sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/read_bandwidth
  /sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/read_latency
  /sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/write_bandwidth
  /sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/write_latency

This means that node0 is initiator and node1 is target and values
of the interconnect can be read.

In theory, there can be separate links to memory side caches too
(e.g. one link from node X to node Y's main memory, another from
node X to node Y's L1 cache, another one to L2 cache and so on).
But sysfs does not express this relationship just yet.

The "accessN" means either "access0" or "access1". The difference
is that while the former expresses the best interconnect between
two nodes including CPUS and I/O devices (such as GPUs and NICs),
the latter includes only CPUs and thus is what we need.

5c359377a0 capabilities: Expose NUMA memory side cache
Memory on a NUMA node can have a side caches. Configuring these
for a domain was implemented in v6.6.0-rc1~249 and friends.
However, up until now mgmt applications did not really know what
values to pass because we were not exposing caches of the host.
With recent enough kernel these are exposed under sysfs and with
a bit of parsing we can extend our capabilities XML. The sysfs
structure is documented in kernel's
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst and basically maps in
1:1 fashion to our virNumaCache structure.

1832c0a02b docs: introduce stubs for new libvirt Go packages
Currently we expose libvirt Go packages at

  libvirt.org/libvirt-go
  libvirt.org/libvirt-go-xml

These packages have not supported Go modules historically and when we
tried to introduce modules, we hit the problem that we're not using
semver for versioning.

The only way around this is to introduce new packages under a different
namespace, that will have the exact same code, but be tagged with a
different version numbering scheme.

This change proposes:

  libvirt.org/go/libvirt
  libvirt.org/go/libvirtxml

Note the hyphen is removed so that the import basename matches the
Go package name.

56fbabf1a1 Add basic driver for the Cloud-Hypervisor
Cloud-Hypervisor is a KVM virtualization using hypervisor. It
functions similarly to qemu and the libvirt Cloud-Hypervisor driver
uses a very similar structure to the libvirt driver.

The biggest difference from the libvirt perspective is that the
"monitor" socket is seperated into two sockets one that commands are
issued to and one that events are notified from. The current
implementation only uses the command socket (running over a REST API
with json encoded data) with future changes to add support for the
event socket (to better handle shutdowns from inside the VM).

This patch adds support for the following initial VM actions using the
Cloud-Hypervsior API:
 * vm.create
 * vm.delete
 * vm.boot
 * vm.shutdown
 * vm.reboot
 * vm.pause
 * vm.resume

To use the Cloud-Hypervisor driver, the v15.0 release of
Cloud-Hypervisor is required to be installed.

Some additional notes:
 * The curl handle is persistent but not useful to detect ch process
 shutdown/crash (a future patch will address this shortcoming)
 * On a 64-bit host Cloud-Hypervisor needs to support PVH and so can
 emulate 32-bit mode but it isn't fully tested (a 64-bit kernel and
 32-bit userspace is fine, a 32-bit kernel isn't validated)

70f53b1c04 nodedev: Revert auto-start property for mdevs
We supported autostart of node devices via an xml element, but this
is not consistent with other libvirt objects which use an explicit API
for setting autostart status. So revert this and implement it as an
official API in a future commit.

The initial support was refactored after merging, so this commit reverts
both of those previous commits.

Revert "virNodeDevCapMdevParseXML: Use virXMLPropEnum() for ./start/@type"

4b3dc045b9 conf: Deduplicate NUMA distance code
After previous patches we have two structures:
virCapsHostNUMACellDistance and virNumaDistance which express the
same thing. And have the exact same members (modulo their names).
Drop the former in favor of the latter.

This change means that distances with value of 0 are no longer
printed out into capabilities XML, because domain XML code allows
partial distance specification and thus threats value of 0 as
unspecified by user (see virDomainNumaGetNodeDistance() which
returns the default LOCAL/REMOTE distance for value of 0).

Also, from ACPI 6.1 specification, section 5.2.17 System Locality
Distance Information Table (SLIT):

  Distance values of 0-9 are reserved and have no meaning.

Thus we shouldn't be ever reporting 0 in neither domain nor
capabilities XML.

3e1d2c93a3 storage: add support for QCOW2 cluster_size option
The default value hard-coded in QEMU (64KiB) is not always the ideal.
Having a possibility to set the cluster_size by user may in specific
use-cases improve performance for QCOW2 images.

QEMU internally has some limits, the value has to be between 512B and
2048KiB and must by power of two, except when the image has Extended L2
Entries the minimal value has to be 16KiB.

Since qemu-img ensures the value is correct and the limit is not always
the same libvirt will not duplicate any of these checks as the error
message from qemu-img is good enough:

    Cluster size must be a power of two between 512 and 2048k

f1c9fed2ca virsh: snapshot: Don't validate schema of XML generated by 'virsh snapshot-create-as'
Commit 95f8e3237e which introduced XML schema validation
for snapshot XMLs always asserted the validation for the XML generated
by 'virsh snapshot-create-as' on the basis that it's libvirt-generated,
thus valid.

This unfortunately isn't true as users can influence certain bits of the
XML such as the disk image path which must be a full path. Thus if a
user tries to invoke virsh as:

 $ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
 error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /path/to/domainsnapshot.rng
 Extra element disks in interleave
 Element domainsnapshot failed to validate content

They get a rather useless error from the libxml2 RNG validator.

With this fix applied, we get to the XML parser in libvirtd which has a
more reasonable error:

 $ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
 error: XML error: disk snapshot image path 'relative.qcow2' must be absolute

Instead users can force validation of the XML generated by 'virsh
snapshot-create-as' by passing the '--validate' flag.

c8238579fb lib: Drop internal virXXXPtr typedefs
Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:

But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.

There were a number of occurrences where we used nested inline markup

There is a possible workaround involving substitution definitions like

  .. |virConnectPtr| replace:: ``virConnectPtr``
  .. _virConnectPtr: /html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectPtr

Substitutions cannot be made generic, hence we cannot create a template
for substitution and use a single template everywhere, so we'd end up
with a lot of clutter and convolution. Therefore, we can make an
exception and just link the data type without further style markup.

4719ec15e9 qemu: add per-vcpu delay stats
This patch adds delay time (steal time inside guest) to libvirt
domain per-vcpu stats. Delay time is an important performance metric.
It is a consequence of the overloaded CPU. Knowledge of the delay
time of a virtual machine helps to understand if it is affected and
estimate the impact.

As a result, it is possible to react exactly when needed and
rebalance the load between hosts. This is used by cloud providers
to provide quality of service, especially when the CPU is
oversubscribed.

It's more convenient to work with this metric in a context of a
libvirt domain. Any monitoring software may use this information.

db64acfbda conf: parse/format <teaming> element in plain <hostdev>
The <teaming> element in <interface> allows pairing two interfaces
together as a simple "failover bond" network device in a guest. One of
the devices is the "transient" interface - it will be preferred for
all network traffic when it is present, but may be removed when
necessary, in particular during migration, when traffic will instead
go through the other interface of the pair - the "persistent"
interface. As it happens, in the QEMU implementation of this teaming
pair (called "virtio failover" in QEMU) the transient interface is
always a host network device assigned to the guest using VFIO (aka
"hostdev"); the persistent interface is always an emulated virtio NIC.

When support was initially added for <teaming>, it was written to
require that the transient/hostdev device be defined using <interface
type='hostdev'>; this was done because the virtio failover
implementation in QEMU and the virtio guest driver demands that the
two interfaces in the pair have matching MAC addresses, and the only
way libvirt can guarantee the MAC address of a hostdev network device
is to use <interface type='hostdev'>, whose main purpose is to
configure the device's MAC address before handing the device to
QEMU. (note that <interface type='hostdev'> in turn requires that the
network device be an SRIOV VF (Virtual Function), as that is the only
type of network device whose MAC address we can set in a way that will
survive the device's driver init in the guest).

It has recently come up that some users are unable to use <teaming>
because they are running in a container environment where libvirt
doesn't have the necessary privileges or resources to set the VF's MAC
address (because setting the VF MAC is done via the same device's PF
(Physical Function), and the PF is not exposed to libvirt's container).

At the same time, these users *are* able to set the VF's MAC address
themselves in advance of staring up libvirt in the container. So they
could theoretically use the <teaming> feature if libvirt just skipped
the "setting the MAC address" part.

Fortunately, that is *exactly* the difference between <interface
type='hostdev'> (which must be a "hostdev VF") and <hostdev> (a "plain
hostdev" - it could be *any* PCI device; libvirt doesn't know what type
of PCI device it is, and doesn't care).

But what is still needed is for libvirt to provide a small bit of
information on the QEMU commandline argument for the hostdev, telling
QEMU that this device will be part of a team ("failover pair"), and
the id of the other device in the pair.

To make both of those goals simultaneously possible, this patch adds
support for the <teaming> element to plain <hostdev> - libvirt doesn't
try to set any MAC addresses, and QEMU gets the extra commandline
argument it needs)

(actually, this patch adds only the parsing/formatting of the
<teaming> element in <hostdev>. The next patch will actually wire that
into the qemu driver.)

184245f53b vircgroup: introduce nested cgroup to properly work with systemd
When running on host with systemd we register VMs with machined.
In this case systemd creates the root VM cgroup for us. This has some
implications where one of them is that systemd owns all files inside
the root VM cgroup and we should not touch them.

We already use DBus calls for some of the APIs but for the remaining
ones we will continue accessing the files directly. Systemd doesn't
support threaded cgroups so we need to do this.

The reason why we don't use DBus for most of the APIs is that we already
have a code that works with files and we would have to check if systemd
supports each API.

This change introduces new topology on systemd hosts:

$ROOT
  |
  +- machine.slice
     |
     +- machine-qemu\x2d1\x2dvm1.scope
        |
        +- libvirt
           |
           +- emulator
           +- vcpu0
           +- vcpu0

compared to the previous topology:

$ROOT
  |
  +- machine.slice
     |
     +- machine-qemu\x2d1\x2dvm1.scope
        |

d153c101d2 conf: define a new "maximum" CPU mode
For hardware virtualization this is functionally identical to the
existing host-passthrough mode so the same caveats apply.

For emulated guest this exposes the maximum featureset supported by
the emulator. Note that despite being emulated this is not guaranteed
to be migration safe, especially if different emulator software versions
are used on each host.

173733b7a8 conf: Introduce virtio-pmem <memory/> model
The virtio-pmem is a virtio variant of NVDIMM and just like
NVDIMM virtio-pmem also allows accessing host pages bypassing
guest page cache. The difference is that if a regular file is
used to back guest's NVDIMM (model='nvdimm') the persistence of
guest writes might not be guaranteed while with virtio-pmem it
is.

To express this new model at domain XML level, I've chosen the
following:

  <memory model='virtio-pmem' access='shared'>
    <source>
      <path>/tmp/virtio_pmem</path>
    </source>
    <target>
      <size unit='KiB'>524288</size>
    </target>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
  </memory>

Another difference between NVDIMM and virtio-pmem is that while
the former supports NUMA node locality the latter doesn't. And
also, the latter goes onto PCI bus and not into a DIMM module.

abf12f071b conf: checkpoint: Don't require <domain> when redefining checkpoints
The domain definition stored with a checkpoint isn't used currently
apart from matching disks when creating a new checkpoints.

As some users of the incremental backup API want to provide backups in
offline mode under their control (obviously while compying with our
documentation on how the on-disk state should be handled) and then want
to define the checkpoint for live use, supplying a <domain> sub-element
is overly complex and not actually needed by the code.

Relax the restriction when re-defining a checkpoint so that <domain> is
not necessary and add (alibistic) documentation saying that future
actions may not work if it's missing.

3fc4412c6f qemu: support kvm-poll-control performance hint
QEMU version 4.2 introduced a performance feature under commit
d645e13287 ("kvm: i386: halt poll control MSR support").

This patch adds a new KVM feature 'poll-control' to set this performance
hint for KVM guests. The feature is off by default.

To enable this hint and have libvirt add "-cpu host,kvm-poll-control=on"
to the QEMU command line, the following XML code needs to be added to the
guest's domain description:

  <features>
    <kvm>
      <poll-control state='on'/>

9fd2e78b96 docs: xsl: Unify stylability of main container element
page.xsl was adding '<div id="content">' wrapper for the content picked
up from the <body> element from the original input file. Optionally
class="$DOCNAME" was added for some documents taken from <body>.

Since docs generated from RST by docutils have a '<div class='document'
id='$DOCNAME>' we actually don't need an extra wrapper for them.

Additionally if we standardize on one of them we can use the same styles
for both. I've picked the latter because it makes more sense to use the
document name as 'id'.

This patch:
1) Modifies the XSL trasformation to add the wrapper only if it's not
   present.

2) Modifies the XSL transformation to use 'id' for document name and
   class='document' for the wrapper element.

3) Changes docs.html/index.html/hvsupport.html to use 'id' instead of
   'class' for document name.

4) Modifies the main stylesheet to keep styling the elements properly

53aec799fa Include vdpa devices in node device list
The current udev node device driver ignores all events related to vdpa
devices. Since libvirt now supports vDPA network devices, include these
devices in the device list.

Example output:

virsh # nodedev-list
[...ommitted long list of nodedevs...]
vdpa_vdpa0

virsh # nodedev-dumpxml vdpa_vdpa0
<device>
  <name>vdpa_vdpa0</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/vdpa0</path>
  <parent>computer</parent>
  <driver>
    <name>vhost_vdpa</name>
  </driver>
  <capability type='vdpa'>
    <chardev>/dev/vhost-vdpa-0</chardev>
  </capability>
</device>

NOTE: normally the 'parent' would be a PCI device instead of 'computer',
but this example output is from the vdpa_sim kernel module, so it
doesn't have a normal parent device.

08f8fd8413 conf: Add support for vDPA network devices
This patch adds new schema and adds support for parsing and formatting
domain configurations that include vdpa devices.

vDPA network devices allow high-performance networking in a virtual
machine by providing a wire-speed data path. These devices require a
vendor-specific host driver but the data path follows the virtio
specification.

When a device on the host is bound to an appropriate vendor-specific
driver, it will create a chardev on the host at e.g.  /dev/vhost-vdpa-0.
That chardev path can then be used to define a new interface with
type='vdpa'.

4ced77a309 docs: meson.build: Prepare for use of identical code for XSLT processing of htmls
Meson unfortunately doesn't give us any means to share the code using
xsltproc to output HTMLs processed by our template. This means we will
have to resort to copy&paste engineering.

To make things simpler, let's use the same block of code in
docs/meson.build but also any of the subdirs which generate htmls.

This will be achieved by making it configurable and wrapping it in a
comment that instructs anybody editing it to keep it identical.

We need to be able to configure the template file used and installation
directory. The rest of the processing is same as we do in
docs/meson.build.

This code will then be copied to subdirs to refactor the current
approach used there.

fa84e3c46a docs: meson.build: Generate HTML files directly by meson
Since we no longer reformat the XSLT-transformed files, there's no need
to use an external script any more.

Unfortunately this hid errors from 'xsltproc' as return value was not
checked and the stderr was piped into xmllints stdin. The result was
that any invalid input file would result into an empty output file.

Since the script's only purpose was to prevent additional temporary
files at the time we were reformatting the output in a pipeline we no
longer need this.

Moving the generation directly into the meson definition makes it more
obvious what's happening and saves readers from having to parse what's
going on. A free bonus is that errors are now properly caught and
reported.

This patch converts the main docs/ directory for now with cleanup of
other comming later.

2508d10f67 conf: domain: sev: Make 'cbitpos' & 'reducedPhysBits' attrs optional
These XML attributes have been mandatory since the introduction of SEV
support to libvirt. This design decision was based on QEMU's
requirement for these to be mandatory for migration purposes, as
differences in these values across platforms must result in the
pre-migration checks failing (not that migration with SEV works at the
time of this patch).

Expecting the user to specify these is cumbersome and the same XML
cannot be re-used across different revisions of SEV. Since
we have SEV platform information saved in QEMU capabilities, we can
make the attributes optional and should fill them in automatically
in the QEMU driver right before starting it.

c0939b4e56 hyperv: implement connectGetVersion
Hyper-V version numbers are not compatible with the encoding in
virParseVersionString():
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/util/virutil.c#L246

For example, the Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V version is 10.0.14393: its
micro is over 14 times larger than the encoding allows.

This commit repacks the Hyper-V version number in order to preserve all
of the digits. The major and minor are concatenated (with minor zero-
padded to two digits) to form the repacked major value. This works
because Microsoft's major and minor versions numbers are unlikely to
exceed 99. The repacked minor value is derived from the digits in the
thousands, ten-thousands, and hundred-thousands places of Hyper-V's
micro. The repacked micro is derived from the digits in the ones, tens,
and hundreds places of Hyper-V's micro.
