25d3a2e01f Implement sysinfo on PowerPC.
Libvirt on x86 parses 'dmidecode' to gather characteristics of host
system. On PowerPC, this is now implemented by reading /proc/cpuinfo
NOTE: memory-DIMM information is not presently implemented.

25fb4c65a5 build: drop a painfully long gnulib test
On machines with massive amounts of CPUs, the gnulib 'test-lock'

situation.

1fdc53c385 qemu: Avoid dangling migration-out job when client dies
When a client which started non-p2p migration dies in a bad time, the
source libvirtd never clears the migration job and almost nothing can be
done with the domain without restarting the daemon. This patch makes use
of connection close callbacks and ensures that migration job is properly
discarded when the client disconnects.

4f061ea641 qemu: Avoid dangling migration-in job on shutoff domains
Destination daemon should not rely on the client or source daemon
(depending on the type of migration) to call Finish when migration
fails, because the client may crash before it can do so. The domain
prepared for incoming migration is set to be destroyed (and migration
job cleaned up) when connection with the client closes but this is not
enough. If the associated qemu process crashes after Prepare step and
the domain is cleaned up before the connection gets closed, autodestroy
is not called for the domain and migration jobs remains set. In case the
domain is defined on destination host (i.e., it is not completely
removed once destroyed) we keep the job set for ever. To fix this, we
register a cleanup callback which is responsible to clean migration-in
job when a domain dies anywhere between Prepare and Finish steps. Note
that we can't blindly clean any job when spotting EOF on monitor since
normally an API is running at that time.

9f71368d06 qemu: Use unlimited speed when migrating to file
This reverts commit 61f2b6ba5f and most of
commit d8916dc8e2, which effectively
brings back commit ef1065cf5a written by
Jim Fehlig:

The qemu migration speed default is 32MiB/s as defined in migration.c

/* Migration speed throttling */
static int64_t max_throttle = (32 << 20);

There's no need to throttle migration when targeting a file, so set
migration speed to unlimited prior to migration, and restore to libvirt
default value after migration.

Default units is MB for migrate_set_speed monitor command, so
(INT64_MAX / (1024 * 1024)) is used for unlimited migration speed.

This was reverted because migration to file could not be canceled and
even monitored since qemu was not processing any monitor commands until
the migration finished. This is now different as we make sure the
file descriptor we pass to qemu is able to properly report EAGAIN.
Recent qemu changes might have helped as well.

I tested managedsave with this patch in and indeed, it is 10x faster
while I can still monitor its progress.

0007237301 conf: forbid use of multicast mac addresses
A few times libvirt users manually setting mac addresses have
complained of a networking failure that ends up being due to a multicast
mac address being used for a guest interface. This patch prevents that
by logging an error and failing if a multicast mac address is
encountered in each of the three following cases:

1) domain xml <interface> mac address.
2) network xml bridge mac address.
3) network xml dhcp/host mac address.

There are several other places where a mac address can be input that
aren't controlled in this manner because failure to do so has no
consequences (e.g., if the address will be used to search through
existing interfaces for a match).

The RNG has been updated to add multiMacAddr and uniMacAddr along with
the existing macAddr, and macAddr was switched to uniMacAddr where
appropriate.

5d57104538 util: fail attempts to use same mac address for guest and tap
This patch is in response to:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798467

If a guest's tap device is created using the same MAC address the
guest uses for its own network card (which connects to the tap
device), the Linux kernel will log the following message and traffic
will not pass:

 kernel: vnet9: received packet with own address as source address

This patch disallows MAC addresses with a first byte of 0xFE, but only in
the case that the MAC address is used for a guest interface that's
connected by way of a standard tap device. (In other words, the
validation is done at runtime at the same place the MAC address is
modified for the tap device, rather than when mac address is parsed,
the idea being that it is then we know for sure the address will be
problematic.)

7c736bab06 snapshot: make quiesce a bit safer
If a guest is paused, we were silently ignoring the quiesce flag,
which results in unclean snapshots, contrary to the intent of the
flag.  Since we can't quiesce without guest agent support, we should
instead fail if the guest is not running.

Meanwhile, if we attempt a quiesce command, but the guest agent
doesn't respond, and we time out, we may have left the command
pending on the guest's queue, and when the guest resumes parsing
commands, it will freeze even though our command is no longer
around to issue a thaw.  To be safe, we must _always_ pair every
quiesce call with a counterpart thaw, even if the quiesce call
failed due to a timeout, so that if a guest wakes up and starts
processing a command backlog, it will not get stuck in a frozen
state.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive):
Always issue thaw after a quiesce, even if quiesce failed.

f987d17511 Fix handling of blkio deviceWeight empty string
A common coding pattern for changing blkio parameters is

  1. virDomainGetBlkioParameters

  2. change one or more params

  3. virDomainSetBlkioParameters

For this to work, it must be possible to roundtrip through
the methods without error. Unfortunately virDomainGetBlkioParameters
will return "" for the deviceWeight parameter for guests by default,
which virDomainSetBlkioParameters will then reject as invalid.

This fixes the handling of "" to be a no-op, and also improves the
error message to tell you what was invalid

This changes it so that

 - Look for LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI env var
 - Look for 'uri_default' in $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf
 - Probe for drivers

6227a220cc virsh: A bit smarter attach-disk
Detects the file type of source path if no "--sourcetype" and
"driver" is specified, instead of always set the disk type as
"block".

0f8e7ae33a qemu: Support numad
numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.

More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad

"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.

This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.

  <vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
  <vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
  <vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
  numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024

The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).

If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.

Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.

See docs update in patch for more details.
