If vm->def->cputune.nvcpupin is 0 in libxlDomainSetVcpuAffinities (as
seems to be the case on arm) then the VIR_FREE after cleanup: would be
operating on an uninitialised pointer in map.map.
Fix this by using libxl_bitmap_init and libxl_bitmap_dispose in the
appropriate places (like VIR_FREE, libxl_bitmap_dispose is also
idempotent, so there is no double free on exit from the loop).
libxl_bitmap_dispose is slightly preferable since it also sets
map.size back to 0, avoiding a potential source of confusion.
This fixes the crashes we've been seeing in the Xen automated tests on
ARM.
I had a glance at the handful of other users of libxl_bitmap and none
of them looked to have a similar issue.

By default, getaddrinfo() will return addresses for both
IPv4 and IPv6 if both protocols are enabled, and so the
RPC code will listen/connect to both protocols too. There
may be cases where it is desirable to restrict this to
just one of the two protocols, so add an 'int family'
parameter to all the TCP related APIs.

The vCPU pinning definition gets removed when the domain definition is
being freed later. If there is no next configuration it would remove the
configured pinning.
In the pre-NUMA ages pinning a vCPU to all pCPUs was eaqual to deleting
the pinning info. Now it does not entirely work that way. Pinning a vCPU
to all pCPUs might be a desired operation. Additionally removal of the
pinning will result into using the default pinning information at the
next boot which might be different from all vcpus.
This patch removes the false assumption that we should remove the
pinning after pinning to all vCPUs and tweaks the documentation for
virsh.
A later patch will implement a new flag for the virDomainPinVcpuFlags
API that will allow to remove the pinning in a sane way.
The libxl tries to check if it's running in dom0 by parsing
/proc/xen/capabilities and if that fails it doesn't load.
There's no procfs interface in Xen on FreeBSD, so this check always
fails.
In addition to checking procfs, check if /dev/xen/xenstored, that's enough to
check if we're running in dom0 in FreeBSD case.
For HVM domains, vfb info must be populated in the libxl_domain_build_info
struct. Currently this is done in the libxlMakeVfbList function, but IMO
it would be cleaner to populate the build_info vfb in a separate
libxlMakeBuildInfoVfb function. libxlMakeVfbList would then handle only
vfb devices, simiar to the other libxlMake<device>List functions.
A future patch will extend libxlMakeBuildInfoVfb to support SPICE.

For some reason a union (_virNodeDevCapData) that had only been
declared inside the toplevel struct virNodeDevCapsDef was being used
as an argument to functions all over the place. Since it was only a
union, the "type" attribute wasn't necessarily sent with it. While
this works, it just seems wrong.
This patch creates a toplevel typedef for virNodeDevCapData and
virNodeDevCapDataPtr, making it a struct that has the type attribute
as a member, along with an anonymous union of everything that used to
be in union _virNodeDevCapData. This way we only have to change the
following:
s/union _virNodeDevCapData */virNodeDevCapDataPtr /
and
s/caps->type/caps->data.type/
This will make me feel less guilty when adding functions that need a
pointer to one of these.
Currently, the libxl driver does not support any security drivers.
When the qemu driver has no security driver configued,
nodeGetSecurityModel succeeds but returns an empty virSecurityModel
object. Do the same in the libxl driver instead of reporting

Recent testing on large memory systems revealed a bug in the Xen xl
tool's freemem() function. When autoballooning is enabled, freemem()
is used to ensure enough memory is available to start a domain,
ballooning dom0 if necessary. When ballooning large amounts of memory
from dom0, freemem() would exceed its self-imposed wait time and
return an error. Meanwhile, dom0 continued to balloon. Starting the
domain later, after sufficient memory was ballooned from dom0, would
succeed. The libvirt implementation in libxlDomainFreeMem() suffers
the same bug since it is modeled after freemem().
In the end, the best place to fix the bug on the Xen side was to
slightly change the behavior of libxl_wait_for_memory_target().
Instead of failing after caller-provided wait_sec, the function now
blocks as long as dom0 memory ballooning is progressing. It will return
failure only when more memory is needed to reach the target and wait_sec
have expired with no progress being made. See xen.git commit fd3aa246.
There was a dicussion on how this would affect other libxl apps like
libvirt
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-03/msg00739.html
If libvirt containing this patch was build against a Xen containing
the old libxl_wait_for_memory_target() behavior, libxlDomainFreeMem()
will fail after 30 sec and domain creation will be terminated.
Without this patch and with old libxl_wait_for_memory_target() behavior,
libxlDomainFreeMem() does not succeed after 30 sec, but returns success
anyway. Domain creation continues resulting in all sorts of fun stuff
like cpu soft lockups in the guest OS. It was decided to properly fix
libxl_wait_for_memory_target(), and if anything improve the default
behavior of apps using the freemem reference impl in xl.
xl was patched to accommodate the change in libxl_wait_for_memory_target()
with xen.git commit 883b30a0. This patch does the same in the libxl
driver. While at it, I changed the logic to essentially match
freemem() in $xensrc/tools/libxl/xl_cmdimpl.c. It was a bit cleaner
IMO and will make it easier to spot future, potentially interesting
divergences.
Although needed in the Xen 4.1 libxl days, there is no longer any
benefit to having per-domain libxl_ctx. On the contrary, their use
makes the code unecessarily complicated and prone to deadlocks under
load. As suggested by the libxl maintainers, use a single libxl_ctx
as a handle to libxl instead of per-domain ctx's.
One downside to using a single libxl_ctx is there are no longer
per-domain log files for log messages emitted by libxl. Messages
for all domains will be sent to /var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log.

Long ago I incorrectly associated libxl fd and timer registrations
with per-domain libxl_ctx objects. When creating a libxlDomainObjPrivate,
a libxl_ctx is allocated, and libxl_osevent_register_hooks is called
passing a pointer to the libxlDomainObjPrivate. When an fd or timer
registration occurred, the registration callback received the
libxlDomainObjPrivate, containing the per-domain libxl_ctx. This
libxl_ctx was then used when informing libxl about fd events or
timer expirations.
The problem with this approach is that fd and timer registrations do not
share the same lifespan as libxlDomainObjPrivate, and hence the per-domain
libxl_ctx ojects. The result is races between per-domain libxl_ctx's being
destoryed and events firing on associated fds/timers, typically manifesting
as an assert in libxl
libxl_internal.h:2788: libxl__ctx_unlock: Assertion `!r' failed
There is no need to associate libxlDomainObjPrivate objects with libxl's
desire to use libvirt's event loop. Instead, the driver-wide libxl_ctx can
be used for the fd and timer registrations.
This patch moves the fd and timer handling code away from the
domain-specific code in libxl_domain.c into libxl_driver.c. While at it,
function names were changed a bit to better describe their purpose.
The unnecessary locking was also removed since the code simply provides a
wrapper over the event loop interface. Indeed the locks may have been
causing some deadlocks when repeatedly creating/destroying muliple domains.
There have also been rumors about such deadlocks during parallel OpenStack
Tempest runs.

This patch adds code that parses and formats configuration for memory
devices.
A simple configuration would be:
<memory model='dimm'>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
</memory>
A complete configuration of a memory device:
<memory model='dimm'>
<source>
<pagesize unit='KiB'>4096</pagesize>
<nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
<node>1</node>
</target>
</memory>
This patch preemptively forbids use of the <memory> device in individual
drivers so the users are warned right away that the device is not
supported.
Add a XML element that will allow to specify maximum supportable memory
and the count of memory slots to use with memory hotplug.
To avoid possible confusion and misuse of the new element this patch
also explicitly forbids the use of the maxMemory setting in individual
drivers's post parse callbacks. This limitation will be lifted when the
support is implemented.
With the current control flow the post parse callback returned success
right away for fully virtualized VMs. To allow adding additional checks
into the post parse callback tweak the conditions so that the function
doesn't return early except for error cases.
To clarify the original piece of code borrow the wording from the commit
message for the patch that introduced the code.
xen.git commit babeca32 added a pkgconfig file for libxenlight,
allowing libxl apps to determine the location of Xen binaries
such as firmware blobs, device emulator, etc.
This patch adds support for xenlight.pc in the libxl driver, falling
back to the previous configure logic if not found. It introduces
LIBXL_FIRMWARE_DIR and LIBXL_EXECBIN_DIR to define the firmware and
libexec_bin locations. If xenlight.pc does not exist, the defines
are set to the current hardcoded paths. The capabilities'
<emulator> and <loader> elements are updated to use the paths.
