6af8417415 conf: Introduce RDT monitor host capability
This patch is introducing cache monitor(CMT) to cache and
memory bandwidth monitor(MBM) for monitoring CPU memory
bandwidth.

The host capability of the two monitors is also introduced
in this patch.

For CMT, the host capability is shown like:
  <host>
  ...
    <cache>
      <bank id='0' level='3' type='both' size='15' unit='MiB' cpus='0-5'>
        <control granularity='768' min='1536' unit='KiB' type='both' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </bank>
      <monitor level='3' 'reuseThreshold'='270336' maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='llc_occupancy'/>
      </monitor>
    </cache>
    ...
  </host>

For MBM, the capability is shown like this:
  <host>
    ...
    <memory_bandwidth>
      <node id='1' cpus='6-11'>
        <control granularity='10' min ='10' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </node>
      <monitor maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/>
        <feature name='mbm_local_bytes'/>
      </monitor>
    </memory_bandwidth>
    ...
  </host>

5bdcef13d1 libxl: drop support for Xen < 4.6
Currently the libxl driver claims support for Xen >= 4.4, but
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported upstream. Let's increase
the minimum supported Xen version to 4.6 and change the defined
LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x040500, which is the API version defined
when Xen 4.6 was released.

Since Xen 4.6 contains a pkgconfig file, drop the now unused code
that falls back to using LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB in the absence of
pkgconfig file. In addition, bumping the LIBXL_API_VERSION
required adjusting the calls to libxl_set_vcpuaffinity to account
for the extra parameter in the 0x040500 version of the API.

cfdc0c771a Forget last daemon/ dir artefacts
The most important part is LIBVIRTD_PATH env var fix. It is used
in virFileFindResourceFull() from tests. The libvirtd no longer
lives under daemon/.

Then, libvirtd-fail test was still failing (as expected) but not
because of missing config file but because it was trying to
execute (nonexistent) top_builddir/daemon/libvirtd which
fulfilled expected outcome and thus test did not fail.

Thirdly, lcov was told to generate coverage for daemon/ dir too.

Fourthly, our compiling documentation was still suggesting to run
daemonn/libvirtd.

And finally, some comments in a systemtap file and a probes file
were still referring to daemon/libvirtd.

6c0d0210cb src: Make virStr*cpy*() functions return an int
Currently, the functions return a pointer to the
destination buffer on success or NULL on failure.

Not only does this kind of error handling look quite
alien in the context of libvirt, where most functions
return zero on success and a negative int on failure,
but it's also somewhat pointless because unless there's
been a failure the returned pointer will be the same
one passed in by the user, thus offering no additional
value.

Change the functions so that they return an int
instead.

d54e45b6ed conf: Introduce new <hostdev> attribute 'display'
QEMU 2.12 introduced a new type of display for mediated devices using
vfio-pci backend which allows a mediated device to be used as a VGA
compatible device as an alternative to an emulated video device. QEMU
exposes this feature via a vfio device property 'display' with supported
values 'on/off/auto' (libvirt will default to 'off').

This patch adds the necessary bits to domain config handling in order to
expose this feature. Since there's no convenient way for libvirt to come
up with usable defaults for the display setting, simply because libvirt
is not able to figure out which of the display implementations - dma-buf
which requires OpenGL support vs vfio regions which doesn't need OpenGL
(works with OpenGL enabled too) - the underlying mdev uses.

d8266ebe16 qemu: Introduce a new graphics display type 'headless'
Since 2.10 QEMU supports a new display type egl-headless which uses the
drm nodes for OpenGL rendering copying back the rendered bits back to
QEMU into a dma-buf which can be accessed by standard "display" apps
like VNC or SPICE. Although this display type can be used on its own,
for any practical use case it makes sense to pair it with either VNC or
SPICE display. The clear benefit of this display is that VNC gains
OpenGL support, which it natively doesn't have, and SPICE gains remote
OpenGL support (native OpenGL support only works locally through a UNIX
socket, i.e. listen type=socket/none).

8f83af6823 storage: Disallow create/resize of qcow2 encrypted images
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526382

Since commit c4eedd793 disallowed qcow2 encrypted images to be
used for domains, it no longer makes sense to allow a qcow2
encrypted volume to be created or resized.

Add a test that will exhibit the failure of creation as well
as the xml2xml validation of the format still being correct.

Update the documentation to note the removal of the capability
to create and use qcow/default encrypted volumes.

To prevent the same error from reoccurring in the future, the

in fact we should always format the element to make clear that libvirt

e5791a0306 conf: Introduce launch-security element in domain
The launch-security element can be used to define the security
model to use when launching a domain. Currently we support 'sev'.

When 'sev' is used, the VM will be launched with AMD SEV feature enabled.
SEV feature supports running encrypted VM under the control of KVM.
Encrypted VMs have their pages (code and data) secured such that only the
guest itself has access to the unencrypted version. Each encrypted VM is
associated with a unique encryption key; if its data is accessed to a
different entity using a different key the encrypted guests data will be
incorrectly decrypted, leading to unintelligible data.

1bd5a08d38 conf, schema, docs: Add support for TSEG size setting
TSEG (Top of Memory Segment) is one of many regions that SMM (System Management
Mode) can occupy.  This one, however is special, because a) most of the SMM code
lives in TSEG nowadays and b) QEMU just (well, some time ago) added support for
so called 'extended' TSEG.  The difference to the TSEG implemented in real q35's
MCH (Memory Controller Hub) is that it can offer one extra size to the guest OS
apart from the standard TSEG's 1, 2, and 8 MiB and that size can be selected in
1 MiB increments.  Maximum may vary based on QEMU and is way too big, so we
don't need to check for the maximum here.  Similarly to the memory size we'll
leave it to the hypervisor to try satisfying that and giving us an error message
in case it is not possible.

b50efe97ad conf: Add VM Generation ID parse/format support
The VM Generation ID is a mechanism to provide a unique 128-bit,
cryptographically random, and integer value identifier known as
the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) to the guest OS. The value
is used to help notify the guest operating system when the virtual
machine is executed with a different configuration.

This patch adds support for a new "genid" XML element similar to
the "uuid" element. The "genid" element can have two forms "<genid/>"
or "<genid>$GUID</genid>". If the $GUID is not provided, libvirt
will generate one and save it in the XML.

Since adding support for a generated GUID (or UUID like) value to
be displayed modifying the xml2xml test to include virrandommock.so
is necessary since it will generate a "known" value.

<features><vmcoreinfo/> is a bare boolean XML property. We don't really

since it's required for modeling on/off/default. If for example future
qemu started enabling vmcoreinfo by default we wouldn't have any way
for the user to turn this off.

Convert it to tristate. For writing XML this is semanticly the same,
<vmcoreinfo/> is processed as <vmcoreinfo state='on'/>.

For apps reading guest XML this is technically an API change,
as they might misinterpret <vmcoreinfo state='off'/>, however this
has only been present in libvirt since 3.10.0 and I don't think any
apps are dependent on this yet

20ad55a8fd driver: introduce a driver method for probing default URIs
Currently the virDrvConnectOpen method is supposed to handle both
opening an explicit URI and auto-probing a driver if no URI is
given. Introduce a dedicated virDrvConnectURIProbe method to enable the
probing functionality to be split from the driver opening functionality.

It is still possible for NULL to be passed to the virDrvConnectOpen
method after this change, because the remote driver needs special
handling to enable probing of the URI against a remote libvirtd daemon.

is different from our practice with QEMU, UML, Parallels, Libxl, BHyve
and VirtualBox drivers, which all use a path of '/system' or '/session'
or both.

By making LXC allow '/system', we have fully standardized on the use of
either '/system' or '/session' for all the stateful drivers that run
inside libvirtd.

Support for lxc:/// is of course maintained for back-compat.

In 2074ef6cd4 and c56cdf259 (and friends) we've added two
attributes to virtio NICs: rx_queue_size and tx_queue_size.
However, sysadmins might want to set these on per-host basis but
don't necessarily have an access to domain XML (e.g. because they
are generated by some other app). So let's expose them under
qemu.conf (the settings from domain XML still take precedence as
they are more specific ones).

68eed56b2d conf: add support for setting OEM strings SMBIOS data fields
The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.

As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like

    <oemStrings>
      <entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
      <entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
    </oemStrings>

use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.

25ff8dd29e docs: update instructions for TLS cert generation
Currently we only describe setting the CN field for server certs. This leads
to inevitable pain for users who set it to the fully qualified hostname and
then use a unqualified hostname or IP address to connect in the URI. Describe
the usage of Subject Alt Name extensions, to provide multiple hostnames and
IP addresses. This will help users avoid the classic mistake and is important

21332bf658 conf: add VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_SERIAL_TARGET_TYPE_SCLP
Introduce specific a target types with two models for the console
devices (sclp and sclplm) used in s390 and s390x guests, so isa-serial
is no more used for them.

This makes <serial> usable on s390 and s390x guests, with at most only
a single sclpconsole and one sclplmconsole devices usable in a single
guest (due to limitations in QEMU, which will enforce already at
runtime).

7e4177a35b qemu: add vmcoreinfo support
Starting from qemu 2.11, the `-device vmcoreinfo` will create a fw_cfg
entry for a guest to store dump details, necessary to process kernel
dump with KASLR enabled and providing additional kernel details.

In essence, it is similar to -fw_cfg name=etc/vmcoreinfo,file=X but in
this case it is not backed by a file, but collected by QEMU itself.

Since the device is a singleton and shouldn't use additional hardware
resources, it is presented as a <feature> element in the libvirt
domain XML.

The device is arm/x86 only for now (targets that support fw_cfg+dma).

with old libvirt.so, b) there are both rust + go impls that are written

74119a03f1 numa: describe siblings distances within cells
Add support for describing NUMA distances in a domain's <numa> <cell>
XML description.

Below is an example of a 4 node setup:

  <cpu>
    <numa>
      <cell id='0' cpus='0-3' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='1' cpus='4-7' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='31'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='2' cpus='8-11' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      <cell id='3' cpus='12-15' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='10'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
    </numa>
  </cpu>

A <cell> defines a NUMA node. <distances> describes the NUMA distance
from the <cell> to the other NUMA nodes (the <sibling>s).  For example,
in above XML description, the distance between NUMA node0 <cell id='0'
...> and NUMA node2 <sibling id='2' ...> is 31.

Valid distance values are '10 <= value <= 255'.  A distance value of 10
represents the distance to the node itself.  A distance value of 20
represents the default value for remote nodes but other values are
possible depending on the physical topology of the system.

When distances are not fully described, any missing sibling distance
values will default to 10 for local nodes and 20 for remote nodes.

If distance is given for A -> B, then we default B -> A to the same
value instead of 20.

   Source{File|Dir|Block|Volume}
   SourceProtocol{RBD|ISCSI|NBD|Gluster|Simple|HTTP}

NB: Simple includes sheepdog, ftp, ftps, tftp

That way we can set up to allow the <encryption> element to be
formatted within the disk source, but we still need to be wary
from whence the element was read - see keep track and when it
comes to format the data, ensure it's written in the correct place.

Modify the qemuxml2argvtest to add a parse failure when there is an
<encryption> as a child of <disk> *and* an <encryption> as a child
of <source>.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a

Since we've allowed the <auth> to be a child of <disk>, we'll need
to keep track of how it was read so that when writing out we'll know
whether to format as child of <disk> or <source>. For the argv2xml
parsing, let's format under <source> as a preference. Do not allow
<auth> to be both a child of <disk> and <source>.

Modify the qemuxml2argvtest to add a parse failure when there is an
<auth> as a child of <disk> *and* an <auth> as a child of <source>.

Add tests to validate that if the <auth> was found in <source>, then
the resulting xml2xml and xml2arg works just fine.  The two new .args
file are exact copies of the non "-source" version of the file.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a
RNG viewpoint things are fine

Update the virstoragefile, virstoragetest, and args2xml file to show
the "preference" to place <auth> as a child of <source>.

5d7659027f docs,rng: Adjust storage pool name grammar checks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1475250

It's possible to define and start a pool with a '.' in the
name; however, when trying to add a volume to a domain using
the storage pool source with a '.' in the storage pool name,
the domain RNG validation fails because RNG uses 'genericName'
which does not allow a '.' in the name.

Domain XML def parsing has a virXMLValidateAgainstSchema which
generates the error. The Storage Pool XML def parsing has no
call to virXMLValidateAgainstSchema. The only Storage Pool name
validation occurs in virStoragePoolDefParseXML to ensure the
name doesn't have a '/' in it and in storagePoolDefineXML to
call virXMLCheckIllegalChars using the same parameter "\n" as
qemuDomainDefineXMLFlags would check after the RNG check
could be succesful.

In order to resolve this, create a poolName definition in
storagecommon.rng that will mimic the domain name regex that
disallows a newline character, but add the "/" in the exclude
list. Then modify the pool and volume source name definitions
to key off that poolName.

f170548502 util: Add TLS attributes to virStorageSource
Add an optional virTristateBool haveTLS to virStorageSource to
manage whether a storage source will be using TLS.

Sample XML for a VxHS disk:

<disk type='network' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
  <source protocol='vxhs' name='eb90327c-8302-4725-9e1b-4e85ed4dc251' tls='yes'>
    <host name='192.168.0.1' port='9999'/>
  </source>
  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>

Additionally add a tlsFromConfig boolean to control whether the TLS
setting was due to domain configuration or qemu.conf global setting
in order to decide whether to Format the haveTLS setting for either
a live or saved domain configuration file.

Update the qemuxml2xmltest in order to add a test to show the proper
parsing.

Also update the docs to describe the tls attribute.

the headers from kernel 4.11 are required by the libvirt code.

Remove the reference from the news entry, since it could be

8708ca01c0 nodedev: add switchdev to NIC capabilities
Adding functionality to libvirt that will allow querying the interface
for the availability of switchdev Offloading NIC capabilities.

The switchdev mode was introduced in kernel 4.8, the iproute2-devlink
command to retrieve the switchdev NIC feature with command example:

    devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:03:00.0

This feature is needed for Openstack so we can do a scheduling decision
if the NIC is in Hardware Offload (switchdev) or regular SR-IOV (legacy) mode.
And select the appropriate hypervisors with the requested capability see [1].

4775ca27e9 docs: Remove unnecessary <auth> example for iscsi disk type='volume'
Alter the example to remove the <auth> from:

  <disk type='volume' device='disk'>

    <source pool='iscsi-pool' volume='unit:0:0:1' mode='host'/>

    <auth username='myuser'>
      <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
    </auth>
    <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

The reality is, it's not even used. For a <source pool> the authdef
from the storage source pool will supercede whatever is in the <disk>
definition during virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool processing. In fact,
if the pool doesn't have/need authentication, then the authdef would
be removed anyway as the storage pool would be handling things.

The "proof" for this is in the adjustment to the test to add an
<auth> for a disk. The resulting .args file won't add what normally
would be added "myname:encodedpassword@" prior to the hostname in
the IQN (e.g. iscsi://myname:encodedpassword@iscsi.example.org:3260/...

Disallow providing the wwnn/wwpn of the HBA in the adapter XML:

  <adapter type='fc_host' [parent='scsi_hostN'] wwnn='HBA_wwnn'
    wwpn='HBA_wwpn'/>

This should be considered a configuration error since a vHBA
would not be created. In order to use the HBA as the backing the
following XML should be used:

  <adapter type='scsi_host' name='scsi_hostN'/>

So add a check prior to the checkParent call to validate that
the provided wwnn/wwpn resolves to a vHBA and not an HBA.

099a5ef8f0 docs: Span cells if there's not doc text for enum val
When generating HTML documentation we put enum values into a
table so that we can display the value's name, numerical value
and description (if it has one). Now the last part is problem. If
the value doesn't have description the table row has just two
cells and if it has one the row counts three cells. This makes
HTML engines render the description into very little space - for
instance see:

  html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainMemoryStatTags

We can avoid this problem if we let the cell that corresponds to
numerical value span over two cells if there's no description.

6efdd94dbc apibuild.py: Handle enum comments properly
After f4cb85c6af we only have two options for placing enum
values descriptions. It's either:

    typedef enum {
        /* Some long description. Therefore it's placed before
         * the value. */
        VIR_ENUM_A_VAL = 1,
    } virEnumA;

or:

    typedef enum {
        VIR_ENUM_B_VAL = 1, /* Some short description */
    } virEnumB;

However, our apibuild.py script is not able to deal with the
former one. It messes up comments. To fix this couple of things
needs to be done:

a) DO NOT reset self.comment in parseEnumBlock(). This is a
result from our tokenizer. Upon calling token() if it finds a
comment block it stores it in self.comment and returns the next
token (which is not comment). Therefore, if we reset self.comment
we might lose the first comment in the enum block.

b) we need a variable to track if the current enum block uses
value descriptions before or after values. That is if it's type
virEnumA or virEnumB. Depending on that, it we're dealing with
virEnumA type and the current token is a comma ',' we can add the
value into the list as we already have everything needed:
comment, name and value.

e5a0579996 qemu: Enable NUMA node tag in pci-root for PPC64
This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.

PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.

For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.

So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.

The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.

b494e09d05 docs: schema: make disk driver name attribute optional
/domain/devices/disk/driver/@name is not a required or mandatory
attribute according to formatdomain, and indeed it was agreed on
IRC that the attribute is "optional for input, recommended (but
not required) for output". Currently the schema requires the
attribute, causing virt-xml-validate to fail on disk config where
the driver name is not explicitly specified. E.g.

# cat test.xml | grep -A 5 cdrom
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver type='raw'/>
      <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/>
    </disk>

# virt-xml-validate test.xml
Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
test.xml:21: element devices: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate content
test.xml fails to validate

Relaxing the name attribute to be optional fixes the validation

# virt-xml-validate test.xml
test.xml validates

88ef73e13c nodedev: Introduce mdev capability for mediated devices
Start discovering the mediated devices on the host system and format the
attributes for the mediated device into the XML. Compared to the parent
device which reports generic information about the abstract mediated
devices types, a child device only reports the type name it has been
instantiated from and the IOMMU group number, since that's device
specific compared to the rest of the info that can be gathered about
mediated devices at the moment.
This patch introduces both the formatting and parsing routines, updates
nodedev.rng schema, adding a testcase as well.

The resulting mdev child device XML:
<device>
  <name>mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/.../4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01</path>
  <parent>pci_0000_06_00_0</parent>
  <driver>
    <name>vfio_mdev</name>
  </driver>
  <capability type='mdev'>
    <type id='vendor_supplied_type_id'/>

500cbc066a nodedev: Introduce the mdev capability to a PCI parent device
The parent device needs to report the generic stuff about the supported
mediated devices types, like device API, available instances, type name,
etc. Therefore this patch introduces a new nested capability element of
type 'mdev_types' with the resulting XML of the following format:

<device>
  ...
  <capability type='pci'>
    ...
    <capability type='mdev_types'>
      <type id='vendor_supplied_id'>
        <name>optional_vendor_supplied_codename</name>
        <deviceAPI>vfio-pci</deviceAPI>
        <availableInstances>NUM</availableInstances>
      </type>
        ...
      <type>
        ...

9cb891141c conf: don't ignore <target dev='blah'/> for macvtap interfaces
The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

However, we do not have to add every single code change to the news

subject needs changes like this one, I'm rather tempted to say that
such changes should not be in the news file at all.  So that would be

80af11d3dd conf: Introduce @access to <memory/>
Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.

Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

b4e8a49f8d Introduce NVDIMM memory model
NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.

At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:

    <memory model='nvdimm'>
      <source>
        <path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
      </source>
      <target>
        <size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
        <node>0</node>
      </target>
      <address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
    </memory>

So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.
