This started as an investigation into an issue where libvirt (using the
libxl driver) and the Xen host, like an old couple, could not agree on
who is responsible for selecting the VNC port to use.
Things usually (and a bit surprisingly) did work because, just like that
old couple, they had the same idea on what to do by default. However it
was possible that this ended up in a big argument.
The problem is that display information exists in two different places:
in the vfbs list and in the build info. And for launching the device model,
only the latter is used. But that never gets initialized from libvirt. So
Xen allows the device model to select a default port while libvirt thinks
it has told Xen that this is done by libvirt (though the vfbs config).
While fixing that, I made a stab at actually evaluating the configuration
of the video device. So that it is now possible to at least decide between
a Cirrus or standard VGA emulation and to modify the VRAM within certain
limits using libvirt.

This patch introduces a function to detect whether the specified
emulator is QEMU_XEN or QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL. Detection is based on the
string "Options specific to the Xen version:" in '$qemu -help' output.
AFAIK, the only qemu containing that string in help output is the
old Xen fork (aka qemu-dm).
Note:
QEMU_XEN means a qemu that contains support for Xen.
QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL means Xen's old forked qemu 0.10.2

Commit b55cc5f4e did a shallow copy of libxl_{sdl,vnc}_info from the
domain config to the build info, which resulted in double-freeing
strings contained in the structures during cleanup, which later
resulted in a libvirtd crash. Fix by performing a deep copy of the
structure, VIR_STRDUP'ing embedded strings instead of simply copying
their pointers.

This patch adds support for the QEMU vhost-user feature to libvirt.
vhost-user enables the communication between a QEMU virtual machine
and other userspace process using the Virtio transport protocol.
It uses a char dev (e.g. Unix socket) for the control plane,
while the data plane based on shared memory.

The libxl driver currently sets the disk backend to
LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_TAP when <driver name='file'> is specified
in the <disk> config. qdisk should be prefered with this
configuration, otherwise existing configuration such as the
following, which worked with the old Xen driver, will not work
with the libxl driver
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='file'/>
<source file='/path/to/some/iso'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
In addition, tap performs poorly compared to qdisk.
Generally, <interface> ... <script> is only supported for
type='ethernet'. Due to the long and pervasive use of
<interface type='bridge'>
...
<script path='foo'/>
</interface>
in Xen domain configuration, it was agreed to allow the use
of <script> with type='bridge' for backwards compatibility. See
the following discussion thread
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-April/msg00755.html
This patch limits the use of <script> to interface types ethernet
and bridge, raising an unsupported config error if <script> is
specified for all other interface types.
While at it, use VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED instead of
VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR when reporting unsupported interface types.
There are two places where you'll find info on page sizes. The first
one is under <cpu/> element, where all supported pages sizes are

reported. So the capabilities XML looks something like this:

libxl uses the libxl_vnc_info and libxl_sdl_info fields from the
hvm union in libxl_domain_build_info struct when generating QEMU
args for VNC or SDL. These fields were left unset by the libxl
driver, causing libxl to ignore any user settings. E.g. with
<graphics type='vnc' port='5950'/>
port would be ignored and QEMU would instead be invoked with
-vnc 127.0.0.1:0,to=99
Unlike the libxl_domain_config struct, the libxl_domain_build_info
contains only a single libxl_vnc_info and libxl_sdl_info, so
populate these fields from the first vfb in
libxl_domain_config->vfbs.

This basically reverts commit ba64b97134
"libxl: Allow libxl to set NIC devid". However assigning devid's
before calling libxlMakeNic does not work as that is calling
libxl_device_nic_init which sets it back to -1.
Right now auto-assignment only works in the hotplug case. But even if
that would be fixed at some point (if that is possible at all), this
would add a weird dependency between Xen and libvirt versions.
The change here should accept any auto-assignment that makes it into
libxl_device_nic_init. My understanding is that a caller always is
allowed to make the devid choice itself. And assuming libxlMakeNicList
is only used on domain creation, a sequential numbering should be ok.

As pointed out by the Xen folks [1], HVM nics should always be set
to type LIBXL_NIC_TYPE_VIF_IOEMU unless the user explicity requests
LIBXL_NIC_TYPE_VIF via model='netfront'. The current logic in
libxlMakeNic() only sets the nictype to LIBXL_NIC_TYPE_VIF_IOEMU if
a model is specified that is not 'netfront', which breaks PXE booting
configurations where no model is specified (i.e. use the hypervisor
default).

Report the error in virPortAllocatorAcquire instead
of doing it in every caller.
The error contains the port range name instead of the intended
use for the port, e.g.:
Unable to find an unused port in range 'display' (65534-65535)
instead of:
Unable to find an unused port for SPICE
This also adds error reporting when the QEMU driver could not
find an unused port for VNC, VNC WebSockets or NBD migration.
Currently we were storing domain feature flags in a bit field as the
they were either enabled or disabled. New features such as paravirtual
spinlocks however can be tri-state as the default option may depend on
hypervisor version.
To allow storing tri-state feature state in the same place instead of
having to declare dedicated variables for each feature this patch
refactors the bit field to an array.
The regular expression used to determine guest capabilities
was compiled in libxlCapsInitHost() but used in libxlCapsInitGuests().
Move compilation to libxlCapsInitGuests() where it is used, and free
the compiled regex after use. Ensure not to free the regex if
compilation fails.
Now that most fields of libxlDriverPrivate struct are immutable
or self-locking, there is no need to acquire the driver lock in
much of the libxl driver.
The libxlDriverPrivate struct contains an variety of data with
varying access needs. Similar to the QEMU and LXC drivers,
move all the static config data into a dedicated libxlDriverConfig
object. The only locking requirement is to hold the driver lock
while obtaining an instance of libxlDriverConfig. Once a reference
is held on the config object, it can be used completely lockless
since it is immutable.
libxlMakeDomCreateInfo() uses the driver-wide libxl ctx when
it would be more appropriate to use the per-domain ctx
associated with the domain. Switch to using the per-domain
libxl ctx.
libxl version info is static data as far as the libxl driver
is concerned, so retrieve this info when the driver is initialized
and stash it in the libxlDriverPrivate object. Subsequently use
the stashed info instead of repeatedly calling libxl_get_version_info().
Create libxl_domain.[ch] and move all functions operating on
libxlDomainObjPrivate to these files. This will be useful for
future patches that e.g. add job support for libxlDomainObjPrivate.

Starting from Xen 4.2, libxl has all the bits and pieces in place
for retrieving an adequate amount of information about the host
NUMA topology. It is therefore possible, after a bit of shuffling,
to arrange those information in the way libvirt wants to present
them to the outside world.
Therefore, with this patch, the <topology> section of the host
capabilities is properly populated, when running on Xen, so that
we can figure out whether or not we're running on a NUMA host,
and what its characteristics are.

Cleanup the libxl capabilities code to be a bit more extensible,
