If this reminds you of a commit message from around a year ago, it's
41c2aa729f and yes, we're dealing with
"the same thing" again. Or f309db1f4d and
it's similar.
There is a logic in place that if there is no real need for
memory-backend-file, qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() returns 0. However
that wasn't the case with hugepage backing. The reason for that was
that we abused the 'pagesize' variable for storing that information, but
we should rather have a separate one that specifies whether we really
need the new object for hugepage backing. And that variable should be
set only if this particular NUMA cell needs special treatment WRT
hugepages.

The x86 CPU driver translated each CPU definition from domain XML into
CPUID data and then back to CPU definition. This effectively sorted the
list of CPU features according to their CPUID values. Since this is
going to change, we need to reorder CPU features in a few test files to
make sure the generated QEMU command lines will not change.

Adding x86 CPU models into a list of supported CPUs for non-x86

to maintain its own list of supported CPU models.

Most of QEMU's PCI display device models, such as:
libvirt video/model/@type QEMU -device
------------------------- ------------
cirrus cirrus-vga
vga VGA
qxl qxl-vga
virtio virtio-vga
come with a linear framebuffer (sometimes called "VGA compatibility
framebuffer"). This linear framebuffer lives in one of the PCI device's
MMIO BARs, and allows guest code (primarily: firmware drivers, and
non-accelerated OS drivers) to display graphics with direct memory access.
Due to architectural reasons on aarch64/KVM hosts, this kind of
framebuffer doesn't / can't work in
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) -M virt
machines. Cache coherency issues guarantee a corrupted / unusable display.
The problem has been researched by several people, including kvm-arm
maintainers, and it's been decided that the best way (practically the only
way) to have boot time graphics for such guests is to consolidate on
QEMU's "virtio-gpu-pci" device.
>From <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195176>, libvirt
supports
<devices>
<video>
<model type='virtio'/>
</video>
</devices>
but libvirt unconditionally maps @type='virtio' to QEMU's "virtio-vga"
device model. (See the qemuBuildDeviceVideoStr() function and the
"qemuDeviceVideo" enum impl.)
According to the above, this is not right for the "virt" machine type; the
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) binaries don't even recognize the "virtio-vga"
device model (justifiedly). Whereas "virtio-gpu-pci", which is a pure
virtio device without a compatibility framebuffer, is available, and works
fine.
(The ArmVirtQemu ("AAVMF") platform of edk2 -- that is, the UEFI firmware
for "virt" -- supports "virtio-gpu-pci", as of upstream commit
3ef3209d3028. See
<https://tianocore.acgmultimedia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=66>.)
Override the default mapping of "virtio", from "virtio-vga" to
"virtio-gpu-pci", if qemuDomainMachineIsVirt() evaluates to true.

When building a chardev device string for tcp, add the necessary pieces to
access provide the TLS X.509 path to qemu. This includes generating the
'tls-creds-x509' object and then adding the 'tls-creds' parameter to the
VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_TCP command line.
Finally add the tests for the qemu command line. This test will make use
of the "new(ish)" /etc/pki/qemu setting for a TLS certificate environment
by *not* "resetting" the chardevTLSx509certdir prior to running the test.

Add a new TLS X.509 certificate type - "chardev". This will handle the
creation of a TLS certificate capability (and possibly repository) for
properly configured character device TCP backends.
Unlike the vnc and spice there is no "listen" or "passwd" associated. The
credentials eventually will be handled via a libvirt secret provided to
a specific backend.
Make use of the default verify option as well.

Add support for using the new approach to hotplug vcpus using device_add
during startup of qemu to allow sparse vcpu topologies.
There are a few limitations imposed by qemu on the supported
configuration:
- vcpu0 needs to be always present and not hotpluggable
- non-hotpluggable cpus need to be ordered at the beginning
- order of the vcpus needs to be unique for every single hotpluggable
entity
Qemu also doesn't really allow to query the information necessary to
start a VM with the vcpus directly on the commandline. Fortunately they
can be hotplugged during startup.
The new hotplug code uses the following approach:
- non-hotpluggable vcpus are counted and put to the -smp option
- qemu is started
- qemu is queried for the necessary information
- the configuration is checked
- the hotpluggable vcpus are hotplugged
- vcpus are started
This patch adds a lot of checking code and enables the support to
specify the individual vcpu element with qemu.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182074
Since libvirt still uses a legacy qemu arg format to add a disk, the
manner in which the 'password-secret' argument is passed to qemu needs
to change to prepend a 'file.' If in the future, usage of the more
modern disk format, then the prepended 'file.' can be removed.
Fix based on Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@suse.com> posting and subsequent
upstream list followups, see:

If any of the devices referenced a USB hub that does not exist,

More misunderstanding/mistaken assumptions on my part - I had thought
that a pci-expander-bus could be plugged into any legacy PCI slot, and
that pcie-expander-bus could be plugged into any PCIe slot. This isn't
correct - they can both be plugged ontly into their respective root
buses. This patch adds that restriction.

libvirt had allowed a dmi-to-pci-bridge to be plugged in anywhere a
normal PCIe endpoint can be connected, but this is wrong - it will
only work if it's plugged into pcie-root (the PCIe root complex) or a
pcie-expander-bus (the qemu device pxb-pcie). This patch adjusts the
connection flags accordingly.

In qemu, enabling this feature boils down to adding the following
onto the command line:
-global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on
However, there are some constraints resulting from the
implementation. For instance, System Management Mode (SMM) is
required to be enabled, the machine type must be q35-2.4 or
later, and the guest should be x86_64. While technically it is
possible to have 32 bit guests with secure boot, some non-trivial
CPU flags tuning is required (for instance lm and nx flags must
be prohibited). Given complexity of our CPU driver, this is not
trivial. Therefore I've chosen to forbid 32 bit guests for now.
If there's ever need, we can refine the check later.

This element will control secure boot implemented by some
firmwares. If the firmware used in <loader/> does support the
feature we must tell it to the underlying hypervisor. However, we
can't know whether loader does support it or not just by looking
at the file. Therefore we have to have an attribute to the
element where users can tell us whether the firmware is secure
boot enabled or not.

Since its release of 2.4.0 qemu is able to enable System
Management Module in the firmware, or disable it. We should
expose this capability in the XML. Unfortunately, there's no good
way to determine whether the binary we are talking to supports
it. I mean, if qemu's run with real machine type, the smm
attribute can be seen in 'qom-list /machine' output. But it's not
there when qemu's run with -M none. Therefore we're stuck with

Add the definitions to allow for viewing/setting cgroup period and quota
limits for IOThreads.
This is similar to the work done for emulator quota and period by
commit ids 'b65dafa' and 'e051c482'.
Being able to view/set the IOThread specific values is related to more
recent changes adding global period (commmit id '4d92d58f') and global
quota (commit id '55ecdae') definitions and qemu support (commit id
'4e17ff79' and 'fbcbd1b2'). With a global setting though, if somehow
the IOThread value in the cgroup hierarchy was set "outside of libvirt"
to a value that is incompatible with the global value.
Allowing control over IOThread specific values provides the capability
to alter the IOThread values as necessary.
The current LUKS support has a "luks" volume type which has
a "luks" encryption format.
This partially makes sense if you consider the QEMU shorthand
syntax only requires you to specify a format=luks, and it'll
automagically uses "raw" as the next level driver. QEMU will
however let you override the "raw" with any other driver it
supports (vmdk, qcow, rbd, iscsi, etc, etc)
IOW the intention though is that the "luks" encryption format
is applied to all disk formats (whether raw, qcow2, rbd, gluster
or whatever). As such it doesn't make much sense for libvirt
to say the volume type is "luks" - we should be saying that it
is a "raw" file, but with "luks" encryption applied.
IOW, when creating a storage volume we should use this XML
<volume>
<name>demo.raw</name>
<capacity>5368709120</capacity>
<target>
<format type='raw'/>
<encryption format='luks'>
<secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
</encryption>
</target>
</volume>
and when configuring a guest disk we should use
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.raw'/>
<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
<encryption format='luks'>
<secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
</encryption>
</disk>
This commit thus removes the "luks" storage volume type added

util: Add 'luks' to the FileTypeInfo
The storage file probing code is modified so that it can probe
the actual encryption formats explicitly, rather than merely
probing existance of encryption and letting the storage driver
guess the format.
The rest of the code is then adapted to deal with
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW w/ VIR_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_FORMAT_LUKS
instead of just VIR_STORAGE_FILE_LUKS.
The commit mentioned above was included in libvirt v2.0.0.
So when querying volume XML this will be a change in behaviour
vs the 2.0.0 release - it'll report 'raw' instead of 'luks'
for the volume format, but still report 'luks' for encryption
format. I think this change is OK because the storage driver
did not include any support for creating volumes, nor starting
guets with luks volumes in v2.0.0 - that only since then.
Clearly if we change this we must do it before v2.1.0 though.

We were requiring a USB port path in the schema, but not enforcing it.
Omitting the USB port would lead to libvirt formatting it as (null).
Such domain cannot be started and will disappear after libvirtd restart
(since it cannot parse back the XML).
Only format the port if it has been specified and mark it as optional
in the XML schema.
Commit id's '9bbf0d7e6' and '2552fec24' added some XML parsing tests
for a LUKS volume to use a 'passphrase' secret format. After commit,
this was deemed to be incorrect, so covert the various tests to use
the volume usage format where the 'usage' is the path to the volume
rather than a user defined name string.
Also, removed the qemuxml2argv-luks-disk-cipher.xml since it was
just a duplicate of qemuxml2argv-luks-disks.xml.

For type='ethernet' interfaces only.
(This patch had been pushed earlier in
commit 0b4645a7e0, but was reverted in
commit 84d47a3cce because it had been
accidentally pushed during the freeze for release 2.0.0)
In order to use more common code and set up for a future type, modify the
encryption secret to allow the "usage" attribute or the "uuid" attribute
to define the secret. The "usage" in the case of a volume secret would be
the path to the volume as dictated by the backwards compatibility brought
on by virStorageGenerateQcowEncryption where it set up the usage field as
the vol->target.path and didn't allow someone to provide it. This carries
into virSecretObjListFindByUsageLocked which takes the secret usage attribute
value from from the domain disk definition and compares it against the
usage type from the secret definition. Since none of the code dealing
with qcow/qcow2 encryption secrets uses usage for lookup, it's a mostly
cosmetic change. The real usage comes in a future path where the encryption
is expanded to be a luks volume and the secret will allow definition of
the usage field.
This code will make use of the virSecretLookup{Parse|Format}Secret common code.
