bb142b6db1 testutilsqemu: Introduce 'testQemuInsertRealCaps' helper
'testQemuInsertRealCaps' looks up and inserts real capabilities into the
capability 'file cache' for testing purposes. Effectively this helper
replaces following steps:

1) testQemuGetRealCaps
2) virFileCacheClear
3) qemuTestCapsCacheInsert

This helper doesn't copy the capabilities that are borrowed from it's
internal cache thus they must not be modified afterwards in contrast to
the above steps.

The use of this helper is in simple tests which require some form of
capabilities to parse a definition but don't care about doctoring them
in any way.

4cac4867ad testQemuGetRealCaps: Extract caching of the caps into a new helper
Introduce testQemuGetRealCapsInternal that loads and caches the
capabilities. testQemuGetRealCaps just copies the cache entry and
returns it to the user.

The new helper will be used in a helper that doesn't modify the
capabilities and thus we don't need to copy it before use.

64dcb59756 domaincapstest: Use obviously fake firmware name in capabilities
The domain capabilities data feature a firmware section which is filled
by few entries. The entries used until now looked real and it was
suspicious that a x86_64 host was listing aarch64 firmware images which
should not happen.

Fill it by an obviously fake path as it's not actually interpreted in a

29f2222dd5 util: relax requirement for logind to be running
Historically we wanted to check if logind was actually running, not
merely activatable, because on systems where systemd is installed,
but the OS is booted into non-systemd init, we want to fallback to
pm-utils.

Requiring logind to be running, however, forces us to serialize libvirtd
startup on startup of logind which is undesirable. We can relax this
dependancy if we check whether systemd itself is running, which implies
that logind will activated when we need it.

38abf9c34d src: set max open file limit to match systemd >= 240 defaults
Since systemd 240, all services get an open file hard limit of
500k, and a soft limit of 1024. This limit means apps are safe
to use select() by default which is limited to 1024 FDs. Apps
which don't use select() are expected to simply set their soft
limit to match the hard limit during startup.

With our current unit file settings we've been effectively
reducing the max open files we have on most modern systems.

c41cc852f6 util: add helper for raising the max files limit
Historically the max files limit for processes has always been 1024,
because going beyond this is incompatible with the select() function.
None the less most apps these days will use poll() so should not be
limited in this way.

Since systemd >= 240, the hard limit will be 500k, while the soft
limit remains at 1k. Applications which don't use select() should
raise their soft limit to match the hard limit during their startup.

This function provides a convenient helper to do this limit raising.

7ba20863a7 meson: Annotate each test() with 'suite'
A test case can be part of a test suite (just like we already
have 'syntax-check'). This then allows developers to run only a
subset of tests. For instance - when using valgrind test setup
(`meson test -C _build/ --setup valgrind`) it makes zero sense to
run syntax-check tests or other script based tests (e.g.
check-augeas-*, check-remote_protocol, etc.). What does makes
sense is to run compiled binaries.

Strictly speaking, reaching that goal is as trivial as annotating
only those compiled tests (declared in tests/meson.build) and
running them selectively:

  meson test -C _build/ --setup valgrind --suite $TAG

But it may be also desirable to run test scripts separately.

Therefore, introduce two new tags: 'bin' for compiled tests, and
'script' for script based tests and annotate each test()
accordingly.

3cde509f1a storage: zfs: Use 'zfs list' to check pool status
The current virtStorageBackendZFSCheckPool checks for the existence of a
path under /dev/zvol/ to determine if the pool is active. ZFS does not
create a path under /dev/zvol/ if no ZFS volumes have been created under
a particular dataset, thus, empty ZFS storage pools are deactivated
whenever checkPool is called on them (as noted in referenced issue).

This commit changes virStorageBackendZFSCheckPool so that the 'zfs list'
command is used to explicitly check for the existence a dataset
specified by the pool's def->source.name.

we were using it to update transient mdevs. Refactor the function so
that we can use it to update both persistent and transient mdevs.

ecbce92371 qemu: Adapt to new way of specifying PC speaker
Historically, the way to set PC speaker for a guest was to pass:

  -soundhw pcspk

but as of QEMU commit v5.1.0-rc0~28^2~3 this is deprecated and we
should use:

  -machine pcspk-audiodev=$id

instead. The old way was then removed in commit v7.1.0-rc0~99^2~3.

Now, ideally we would have a capability selecting whether we talk
to a QEMU that understands the new way or not. But it's not that
simple - the machine attribute is just an alias to the .audiodev=
attribute of 'isa-pcspk' object and both are created in
pc_machine_initfn() function, i.e. not then the PC_MACHINE() class
is initialized, but when it's instantiated. IOW, it's not possible
for us to query whether we're dealing with older or newer QEMU.

But given that the newer version is supported since v5.1.0 and the
minimal version we require is v4.2.0 (i.e. there are two releases
which don't understand the newer cmd line) and how frequently this
feature is (un-)used (the issue was reported after ~1 year since it
stopped working), I believe we can live without any capability and
just use the newer cmd line unconditionally.

f6e88f6113 virsh: Make cmdVersion() work with split daemon
When virsh connects to a non-hypervisor daemon directly (e.g.
"nodedev:///system") and user executes 'version' they are met
with an error message. This is because cmdVersion() calls
virConnectGetVersion() which fails, hence the error.

The reason for virConnectGetVersion() fail is simple - it's
documented as:

  Get the version level of the Hypervisor running.

Well, there's no hypervisor in non-hypervisor daemons and thus it
doesn't make sense to provide an implementation in each driver's
virConnectDriver.hypervisorDriver table (just like we do for
other APIs, e.g. nodeConnectIsSecure()).

Given all of this, just make cmdVersion() deal with the error in
a non-fatal fashion.

14026db9b0 nodedev: update mdevs from the mdevctl thread
Rather than directly executing mdevctl from the udev event thread when
we determine that we need to re-query, schedule the mdevctl thread to
run. This also helps to coalesce multiple back-to-back updates into a
single one when there are multiple updates in a row or at startup when a
host has a very large number of mdevs.

9b7fadc5dc nodedev: refactor mdevctl thread functions
Factor out a new scheduleMdevctlUpdate() function so that we can re-use
it from other places. Now that other events can make it necessary to
re-query mdevctl for mdev updates, this function will be useful for
coalescing multiple updates in quick succession into a single mdevctl
query.

Also rename a couple functions. The names weren't very descriptive of
their behavior. For example, the old scheduleMdevctlHandler() function
didn't actually schedule anything, it just started a thread. So rename
it to free up the 'schedule' name for the above refactored function.
