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)

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.

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

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

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.

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.)

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

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.

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

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'.

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.

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.

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.

Hyper-V version numbers are not compatible with the encoding in

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.

In [1], changes were made to remove the existing auto-alignment
for pSeries NVDIMM devices. That design promotes strange situations
where the NVDIMM size reported in the domain XML is different
from what QEMU is actually using. We removed the auto-alignment
and relied on standard size validation.
However, this goes against Libvirt design philosophy of not
tampering with existing guest behavior, as pointed out by Daniel
in [2]. Since we can't know for sure whether there are guests that
are relying on the auto-alignment feature to work, the changes
made in [1] are a direct violation of this rule.

There was one attempt a year ago done by me to drop HAL [1] but it was
never resolved. There was another time when Dan suggested to drop HAL
driver [2] but it was decided to keep it around in case device
assignment will be implemented for FreeBSD and the fact that
virt-manager uses node device driver [3].
I checked git history and code and it doesn't look like bhyve supports
device assignment so from that POV it should not block removing HAL.
The argument about virt-manager is not strong as well because libvirt
installed from FreeBSD packages doesn't have HAL support so it will not
affect these users as well [4].
The only users affected by this change would be the ones compiling
libvirt from GIT on FreeBSD.
I looked into alternatives and there is libudev-devd package on FreeBSD
but unfortunately it doesn't work as it doesn't list any devices when
used with libvirt. It provides libudev APIs using devd.
I also looked into devd directly and it provides some APIs but there are
no APIs for device monitoring and events so that would have to be
somehow done by libvirt.
Main motivation for dropping HAL support is to replace libdbus with GLib
dbus implementation and it cannot be done with HAL driver present in
libvirt because HAL APIs heavily depends on symbols provided by libdbus.

This wires up support for using the new virt-ssh-helper binary with the ssh,
libssh and libssh2 protocols.
The new binary will be used preferentially if it is available in $PATH,
otherwise we fall back to traditional netcat.
The "proxy" URI parameter can be used to force use of netcat e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=netcat
or the disable fallback e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=native
With use of virt-ssh-helper, we can now support remote session URIs
qemu+ssh://host/session
and this will only use virt-ssh-helper, with no fallback. This also lets
the libvirtd process be auto-started, and connect directly to the
modular daemons, avoiding use of virtproxyd back-compat tunnelling.

Local socket connections were outright disabled because there was no "server"
part in the URI. However, given how requirements and usage scenarios are
evolving, some management apps might need the source libvirt daemon to connect
to the destination daemon over a UNIX socket for peer2peer migration. Since we
cannot know where the socket leads (whether the same daemon or not) let's decide
that based on whether the socket path is non-standard, or rather explicitly
specified in the URI. Checking non-standard path would require to ask the
daemon for configuration and the only misuse that it would prevent would be a
pretty weird one. And that's not worth it. The assumption is that whenever
someone uses explicit UNIX socket paths in the URI for migration they better
know what they are doing.

By default Xen only allows guests to write "known safe" values into PCI
configuration space, yet many devices require writes to other areas of
the configuration space in order to operate properly. To allow writing
any values Xen supports the 'permissive' setting, see xl.cfg(5) man page.
This change models Xen's permissive setting by adding a writeFiltering
attribute on the <source> element of a PCI hostdev. When writeFiltering
is set to 'no', the Xen permissive setting will be enabled and guests
will be able to write any values into the device's configuration space.
The permissive setting remains disabled in the absense of the
writeFiltering attribute, of if it is explicitly set to 'yes'.

For --current, existing documentation says:
"If *--current* is specified, affect the current guest state."
It's not entirely clear what states can "current" mean or imply. So
rephrase it in context of the other two related flags --live and
--config.
- While at it, I also took the liberty to replace the few occurrences
of "peristent domain[s]" with "persistent guest[s]"

The semantics of the backup operation don't strictly require that all
disks being backed up are part of the same incremental part (when a disk
was checkpointed/backed up separately or in a different VM), or even
they may not have a previous checkpoint at all (e.g. when the disk
was freshly hotplugged to the vm).
In such cases we can still create a common checkpoint for all of them
and backup differences according to configuration.
This patch adds a per-disk configuration of the checkpoint to do the
incremental backup from via the 'incremental' attribute and allows
perform full backups via the 'backupmode' attribute.
Note that no changes to the qemu driver are necessary to take advantage
of this as we already obey the per-disk 'incremental' field.

QEMU 4.1.0 introduced a new device type called TPM Proxy, currently
implemented by PPC64 guests via a new virtual device called
'spapr-tpm-proxy' (see QEMU 0fb6bd073230 for more info).
The TPM Proxy device interacts with a TPM Resource Manager, a host
device capable of multiplexing the host TPM with multiple processes.
This allows multiple guests to access some TPM features at the
same time. Note that this mode of operation does not provide
full TPM features to be available for the guest - for that case
the guest still needs to assign a vTPM device (tpm-spapr for
PPC64 guests). Although redundant, there is currently no technical
limitation for a guest to assign both a vTPM and a TPM Proxy at the
same time.
This patch adds documentation and schema for a new TPM model
type called 'spapr-tpm-proxy' that creates this new TPM Proxy
device. This model is valid only for the 'passthrough' backend.
An example of a TPM Proxy device connected to a TPM Resource Manager
'/dev/tpmrm0' will look like this:
<tpm model='spapr-tpm-proxy'>
<backend type='passthrough'>
<device path='/dev/tpmrm0'/>
</backend>

On Linux, changing the nodeset on 'numatune' does not imply that
the guest memory will be migrated on the spot to the new nodeset.
The memory migration is tied on guest usage of the memory pages,
and an idle guest will take longer to have its memory migrated
to the new nodeset.
This is a behavior explained in detail in the Linux kernel
documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst.
The user doesn't need this level of detail though - just needs
his/her expectations under check. Running 'numastat' and hoping
for instant memory migration from the previous nodeset to the new
one is not viable.
There's also parts of the memory that are locked by QEMU in the
same place, e.g. when VFIO devices are present. Let's also
mention it as another factor that impacts the results the
user might expect from NUMA memory migration with numatune.

passthrough element also supports a 'mode' attribute with values
restricted to snyc_pt and share_pt, similar to xl.cfg(5) 'passthrough'
setting .

e820_host is a Xen-specific option, only available for PV domains, that
provides the domain a virtual e820 memory map based on the host one. It
is enabled with a new Xen hypervisor feature, e.g.
<features>
<xen>
<e820_host state='on'/>
</xen>
</features>
e820_host is required when using PCI passthrough and is generally
considered safe for any PV kernel. e820_host is silently ignored if set
in HVM domain configuration. See xl.cfg(5) man page in the Xen
documentation for more details.

We previously added a hack to symlink CSS files from the source dir into
the build dir, to allow the website to be browsed locally. We should
have also done this for any images.
This change merges several variables into one "$(assets)" so that we
treat all static files in the root dir the same way.

The idea behind this document is to show, with actual examples,
that users should not expect PCI addresses in the domain XML and
in the guest OS to match.
The first zPCI example already serves this purpose perfectly, so
in the interest of keeping the page as brief and easy to digest
as possible the second one is removed.

The section about VFIO devices is kept separate from the rest
because it's less about domain XML and guest OS disagreeing on the
PCI address of a device, and more about which of the two PCI
addresses in the domain XML is even relevant to the guest OS.
The section on zPCI addresses, on the other hand, falls squarely
in the "more complex cases" category, so it should live in the
corresponding section.

We've adopted reStructuredText as the primary markup language for

a <controller type='pci'...> element can now have a "hotplug"
attribute in the <target> subelement. This is intended to control
whether or not the slot(s) of the controller support
hotplugging/unplugging a device:
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
The default value of hotplug is "on".
Since support for configuring such an option is hypervisor-dependent
(and will vary among different types of PCI controllers even on a
single hypervisor), no validation is done in this patch - that
validation will be done in the patch that wires support for the
setting into the hypervisor.

In a guest with only one vcpu, when pinning the emulator in say CPU184
and the vcpu0 in CPU0 of the host, the user might expect that only
CPU0 and CPU184 of the host will be used by the guest.
The reality is that Libvirt takes some time to honor the emulator
and vcpu pinning, taking care of NUMA constraints first. This will
result in other CPUs of the host being potentially used by the
QEMU thread until the emulator/vcpu pinning is done. The user
then might be confused by the output of 'virsh cpu-stats' in this
scenario, showing around 200 microseconds of cycles being spent
in other CPUs.
Let's document this behavior, which is explained in detail in
Libvirt commit v5.0.0-199-gf136b83139, in the cputune section
of formatdomain.html.in.

Event channels are like PV interrupts and in conjuction with grant frames
form a data transfer mechanism for PV drivers. They are also used for
inter-processor interrupts. Guests with a large number of vcpus and/or
many PV devices many need to increase the maximum default value of 1023.
For this reason the native Xen config format supports the
'max_event_channels' setting. See xl.cfg(5) man page for more details.
Similar to the existing maxGrantFrames option, add a new xenbus controller
option 'maxEventChannels', allowing to adjust the maximum value via libvirt.
