AMD Bulldozer (or Opteron_G4 as called in QEMU) was added to the list
of cpu models, flags were taken from upstream qemu cpu specifications
and should be sorted by bit values (or first occurence in the feature
specification part of cpu_map.xml).
Based on QEMU upstream commit 885bb0369a4f0abe2c0185178f3cb347cb02cdf1.
We found few more AMD-specific features in cpu64-rhel* models that
made it impossible to start qemu guest on Intel host (with this
setting) even though qemu itself starts correctly with them.
This impacts one test, thus the fix in tests/cputestdata/.
In qemu there are 2 cpu models (cpu64-rhel5 and cpu64-rhel6) not
supported by libvirt. This patch adds the support with the flags
specifications from /usr/share/qemu-kvm/cpu-model/cpu-x86_64.conf
The only difference is that AMD-specific features are removed so
the processor type is not vendor-specific. Those features are either
emulated or ignored by qemu if host CPU doesn't support them.
Our HACKING discourages use of malloc and free, for at least
a couple of years now. But we weren't enforcing it, until now :)
For now, I've exempted python and tests, and will clean those up
in subsequent patches. Examples should be permanently exempt,
since anyone copying our examples won't have use of our
internal-only memory.h via libvirt_util.la.

Recently (or not so recently) QEMU added the kvm32 and kvm64
architectures, representing a least common denominator of all
hosts that can run KVM. Add them to the machine map.
Also, some features that TCG supports were added to qemu64.
Add them to the cpu_map.xml whenever KVM is guaranteed to support
those. We still have to leave some out, because they would not
be available to guests running on older hosts.

In preparation for the patch to include Murmurhash3, which
introduces a virhashcode.h and virhashcode.c files, rename
the existing hash.h and hash.c to virhash.h and virhash.c
respectively.
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag for virDomainGetXMLDesc may be used to
get updated custom mode guest CPU definition in case it depends on host
CPU. This patch implements the same behavior for host-model and
host-passthrough CPU modes.
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.
Add support for newly supported Intel cpu features. Newly supported
flags are: pclmuldq, dtes64, smx, fma, pdcm, movbe, xsave, osxsave and
avx. This adds support for Intel's Sandy Bridge platform.
To add support for running libvirt on PowerPC, a CPU driver for the
PowerPC platform must be added.
Most generic cpu driver routines such as CPU compare, decode, etc
are based on CPUID comparison and are not relevant for non-x86
platforms.
Here, we introduce stubs for relevant PowerPC routines invoked by libvirt.

Auto-indent makes life a bit easier; this patch also drops unused

instead, so that callers don't have to worry about how much spacing

Commit 498d783 cleans up some of virtual file names for parsing strings
in memory. This patch cleans up (hopefuly) the rest forgotten by the
first patch.
This patch also changes all of the previously modified "filenames" to
valid URI's replacing spaces for underscores.
Changes to v1:
- Replace all spaces for underscores, so that the strings form valid
URI's
- Replace spaces in places changed by commit 498d783
These VIR_XXXX0 APIs make us confused, use the non-0-suffix APIs instead.
How do these coversions works? The magic is using the gcc extension of ##.
When __VA_ARGS__ is empty, "##" will swallow the "," in "fmt," to
avoid compile error.
example: origin after CPP
high_level_api("%d", a_int) low_level_api("%d", a_int)
high_level_api("a string") low_level_api("a string")
About 400 conversions.
8 special conversions:
VIR_XXXX0("") -> VIR_XXXX("msg") (avoid empty format) 2 conversions
VIR_XXXX0(string_literal_with_%) -> VIR_XXXX(%->%%) 0 conversions
VIR_XXXX0(non_string_literal) -> VIR_XXXX("%s", non_string_literal)
(for security) 6 conversions

We already have virAsprintf, so picking a similar name helps for
seeing a similar purpose. Furthermore, the prefix V before printf
generally implies 'va_list', even though this variant was '...', and
the old name got in the way of adding a new va_list version.
global rename performed with:
$ git grep -l virBufferVSprintf \
| xargs -L1 sed -i 's/virBufferVSprintf/virBufferAsprintf/g'
then revert the changes in ChangeLog-old.
So far, CPUID data were stored in two different data structures. First
of them was a structure allowing direct access for CPUID data according
to function number and the second was a plain array of struct
cpuX86cpuid. This was a silly design which resulted in converting data
from one type to the other and back again or implementing similar
functionality for both data structures.
The patch leaves only the direct access structure. This makes the code
both smaller and more maintainable since operations on different objects
can use common low-level operations.
All 57 tests for cpu subsystem still pass after this rewrite.
When only some host CPUs given to cpuBaseline contain <vendor> element,
baseline CPU should not contain it. Otherwise the result would not be
compatible with the host CPUs without vendor. CPU vendors are still
taken into account when computing baseline CPU, it's just removed from
the result.
Recent CPU models were specified using invalid vendor element
<vendor>NAME</vendor>, which was silently ignored due to a bug in the
code which was parsing it.
This enables support for nested SVM using the regular CPU
model/features block. If the CPU model or features include
'svm', then the '-enable-nesting' flag will be added to the
QEMU command line. Latest out of tree patches for nested
'vmx', no longer require the '-enable-nesting' flag. They
instead just look at the cpu features. Several of the models
already include svm support, but QEMU was just masking out
the svm bit silently. So this will enable SVM on such
models
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: flag for -enable-nesting
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Use -enable-nesting if VMX or SVM are in
the CPUID
* src/cpu/cpu.h, src/cpu/cpu.c: API to check for a named feature
* src/cpu/cpu_x86.c: x86 impl of feature check
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add cpuHasFeature
* src/qemuhelptest.c: Add nesting flag where required
Some features provided by the recently added CPU models were mentioned
twice for each model. This was a result of automatic generation of the
XML from qemu's CPU configuration file without noticing this redundancy.
This patch fixes a couple of complaints from valgrind when tickling libvirtd with SIGHUP.
The first two files contain fixes for memory leaks. The 3rd one initializes an uninitialized variable. The 4th one is another memory leak.
When comparing a CPU without <model> element, such as
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
libvirt would happily crash without warning.
When a CPU to be compared with host CPU describes a host CPU instead of
a guest CPU, the result is incorrect. This is because instead of
treating additional features in host CPU description as required, they
were treated as if they were mentioned with all possible policies at the
same time.
By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
All features in the baseline CPU definition were always created with
policy='require' even though an arch driver returned them with different
policy settings.
Adds ability to provide a preferred CPU model for CPUID data decoding.
Such model would be considered as the best possible model (if it's
supported by hypervisor) regardless on number of features which have to
be added or removed for describing required CPU.
So far, when CPUID data were converted into CPU model and features, the
features can only be added to the model. As a result, when a guest asked
for something like "qemu64,-svm" it would get a qemu32 plus a bunch of
additional features instead.
This patch adds support for removing feature from the base model.
Selection algorithm remains the same: the best CPU model is the model
which requires lowest number of features to be added/removed from it.
When comparing a CPU to host CPU, the result would be
VIR_CPU_COMPARE_SUPERSET (or even VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE if strict
match was required) even though the two CPUs were identical.
Useful mainly for migration. cpuUpdate changes guest CPU requirements in
the following way:
- match == "strict" || match == "exact"
- optional features which are supported by host CPU are changed into
required features
- optional features which are not supported by host CPU are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
- match == "minimum"
- match is changed into "exact"
- optional features and all features not mentioned in guest CPU
specification which are supported by host CPU become required
features
- other optional features are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
This ensures that no feature will suddenly disappear from the guest
after migration.

a NULL "models" pointer, or when passed a nonzero "nmodels" value
