For now, we set the migration URI via command line '--migrate_uri' or
construct the URI by looking up the dest host's hostname which could be
solved by DNS automatically.
But in cases the dest host have two or more NICs to reach, we may need to
send the migration data over a specific NIC which is different from the
automatically resolved one for some reason like performance, security, etc.
Thus we must explicitly specify the migrateuri in command line everytime,
but it is too troublesome if there are many such hosts (and don't forget
virt-manager).
This patch adds a configuration file option on dest host to save the
default value set which can be specified to a migration hostname or
one of this host's addresses used for transferring data, thus user doesn't
have to specify it in command line everytime.

QEMU commit 5e2ac51 added a boolean '-msg timestamp=[on|off]'
option, which can enable timestamps on errors:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -msg timestamp=on zghhdorf
2014-04-09T13:25:46.779484Z qemu-system-x86_64: -msg timestamp=on: could
not open disk image zghhdorf: Could not open 'zghhdorf': No such file or
directory
Enable this timestamp if the QEMU binary supports it.
Add a 'log_timestamp' option to qemu.conf for disabling this behavior.
When I played with virtlockd I was stunned by lacking

Moreover, from pure libvirt-pride I'm changing commented

implementation after all.

On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
Adding a VNC WebSocket support for QEMU driver. This functionality is
in upstream qemu from commit described as v1.3.0-982-g7536ee4, so the
capability is being recognized based on QEMU version for now.
PCIO device assignment using VFIO requires read/write access by the
qemu process to /dev/vfio/vfio, and /dev/vfio/nn, where "nn" is the
VFIO group number that the assigned device belongs to (and can be
found with the function virPCIDeviceGetVFIOGroupDev)
/dev/vfio/vfio can be accessible to any guest without danger
(according to vfio developers), so it is added to the static ACL.
The group device must be dynamically added to the cgroup ACL for each
vfio hostdev in two places:
1) for any devices in the persistent config when the domain is started
(done during qemuSetupCgroup())
2) at device attach time for any hotplug devices (done in
qemuDomainAttachHostDevice)
The group device must be removed from the ACL when a device it
"hot-unplugged" (in qemuDomainDetachHostDevice())
Note that USB devices are already doing their own cgroup setup and
teardown in the hostdev-usb specific function. I chose to make the new
functions generic and call them in a common location though. We can
then move the USB-specific code (which is duplicated in two locations)
to this single location. I'll be posting a followup patch to do that.
As a side effect of changes in the functions virGetUserID and
virGetGroupID, the user and group configurations for DAC in qemu.conf
are now able to accept both names and IDs, supporting a leading plus
sign to ensure that a numeric value will not be interpreted as a name.
This patch updates the comments in qemu.conf, including a description of
this new behavior.
Commit d0c0e79ac6 left behind some dead
code (hasDAC can't be efectively set to true, because
virSecurityManagerNew fails to load the "dac" driver).
This patch also enhances the condition for adding the default
auto-detected security manager if the manager array is allocated but
empty.
Also the configuration file for qemu driver still contains reference to
the DAC driver that can't be enabled manualy.
The defines QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MIN and QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MAX were used to
find free port when starting domains. As this was hard-coded to the
same ports as default VNC servers, there were races with these other
programs. This patch includes the possibility to change the default
starting port as well as the maximum port (mostly for completeness) in
qemu config file.
Support for two new config options in qemu.conf is added:
- remote_port_min (defaults to QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MIN and
must be >= than this value)
- remote_port_max (defaults to QEMU_REMOTE_PORT_MAX and
must be <= than this value)
This patch updates the key "security_driver" in QEMU config to suport
both a sigle default driver or a list of default drivers. This ensures
that it will remain compatible with older versions of the config file.

Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.
With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.
This patch introduces two new security label types
- default: the host configuration decides whether to run the
guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
- none: the guest will run unconfined by security policy
The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement
security_default_confined = 1|0 (default == 1)
security_require_confined = 1|0 (default == 0)

This patch adds max_files option to qemu.conf which can be used to
override system default limit on number of opened files that are
allowed for qemu user.
This prepares for subsequent patches which introduce dependence
on cgroup cpuset. Enable cgroup cpuset by default so users don't
have to modify configuration file before encountering a cpuset
error.
This patch creates an optional BeginJob queue size limit. When
active, all other attempts above level will fail. To set this
feature assign desired value to max_queued variable in qemu.conf.
Setting it to 0 turns it off.
The error in getCompressionType will never be reported, change
the errors codes into warning (VIR_WARN("%s", _(foo)); doesn't break
syntax-check rule), and also improve the docs in qemu.conf to tell
user the truth.

The QEMU integrates with the lock manager instructure in a number
of key places
* During startup, a lock is acquired in between the fork & exec
* During startup, the libvirtd process acquires a lock before
setting file labelling
* During shutdown, the libvirtd process acquires a lock
before restoring file labelling
* During hotplug, unplug & media change the libvirtd process
holds a lock while setting/restoring labels
The main content lock is only ever held by the QEMU child process,
or libvirtd during VM shutdown. The rest of the operations only
require libvirtd to hold the metadata locks, relying on the active
QEMU still holding the content lock.

src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug, src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug:

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Add calls to the lock manager
This patch adds max_processes option to qemu.conf which can be used to
override system default limit on number of processes that are allowed to
be running for qemu user.
Since libvirt always passes /dev/net/tun to qemu via fd, we should
never trigger the cases where qemu tries to directly open the
device. Therefore, it is safer to deny the cgroup device ACL.
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c (defaultDeviceACL): Remove /dev/net/tun.
* src/qemu/qemu.conf (cgroup_device_acl): Reflect this change.
If vnc_auto_unix_socket is enabled, any VNC devices without a hardcoded

Add dump_image_format[] to qemu.conf and support compressed dump
at virsh dump. coredump compression is important for saving disk space
in an environment where multiple guests run.
In general, "disk space for dump" is specially allocated and will be
a dead space in the system. It's used only at emergency. So, it's better
to have both of save_image_format and dump_image_format. "save" is done
in scheduled manner with enough calculated disk space for it.
This code reuses some of save_image_format[] and supports the same format.

- modified libvirtd_qemu.aug
- modified test_libvirtd_qemu.aug
