Add an option 'iothreadpin' to the <cpuset> to allow for setting the
CPU affinity for each IOThread.
The iothreadspin will mimic the vcpupin with respect to being able to
assign each iothread to a specific CPU, although iothreads ids start
at 1 while vcpu ids start at 0. This matches the iothread naming scheme.
Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.

There's this <driver/> element under <interface/> which can have
several attributes. However, the driver element is currently formated
only if the driver's name or txmode has been specified. This makes
only a little sense as we parse even partial <driver/>, for instance:

Introduce a new structure to handle an iSCSI host device based on the
existing virDomainHostdevSubsysSCSI by adding a "protocol='iscsi'" to
the <source/> element. The existing scsi_host subsystem RNG was modified
to read an optional "protocol='adapter'", although it won't be written
out nor is it documented as an option (by choice).
The new hostdev structure mimics the existing <disk/> element for an
iSCSI device (network) device. New XML is:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.1992-01.com.example'>
<host name='example.org' port='3260'/>
<auth username='myname'>
<secret type='iscsi' usage='mycluster_myname'/>

as when 'lsi' and 'virtio-scsi' are used.
A future patch is going to wire up qemu active block commit jobs;
but as they have similar events and are canceled/pivoted in the
same way as block copy jobs, it is easiest to track all bookkeeping
for the commit job by reusing the <mirror> element. This patch
adds domain XML to track which job was responsible for creating a
mirroring situation, and adds a job='copy' attribute to all
existing uses of <mirror>. Along the way, it also massages the
qemu monitor backend to read the new field in order to generate
the correct type of libvirt job (even though it requires a
future patch to actually cause a qemu event that can be reported
as an active commit). It also prepares to update persistent XML
to match changes made to live XML when a copy completes.

In XML format, by definition, order of fields should not matter, so
order of parsing the elements doesn't affect the end result. When
specifying guest NUMA cells, we depend only on the order of the 'cell'
elements. With this patch all older domain XMLs are parsed as before,
but with the 'id' attribute they are parsed and formatted according to
that field. This will be useful when we have tuning settings for

Now that we track a disk mirror as a virStorageSource, we might
as well update the XML to theoretically allow any type of
mirroring destination (not just a local file). A later patch
will also be reusing <mirror> to track the block commit of the
top layer of a chain, which is another case where libvirt needs
to update the backing chain after the job is finally pivoted,
and since backing chains can have network backing files as the
destination to commit into, it makes more sense to display that
in the XML.
This patch changes output-only XML; it was already documented
that <mirror> does not affect a domain definition at this point
(because qemu doesn't provide persistent bitmaps yet). Any
application that was starting a block copy job with older libvirt
and then relying on the domain XML to determine if it was
complete will no longer be able to access the file= and format=
attributes of mirror that were previously used. However, this is
not going to be a problem in practice: the only time a block copy
job works is on a transient domain, and any app that is managing
a transient domain probably already does enough of its own
bookkeeping to know which file it is mirroring into without
having to re-read it from the libvirt XML. The one thing that
was likely to be used in a mirroring job was the ready=
attribute, which is unchanged. Meanwhile, I made sure the schema
and parser still accept the old format, even if we no longer
output it, so that upgrading from an older version of libvirt is
seamless.

In general, we try to make virt-xml-validate tolerant of input

Add a new <timer> for the HyperV reference time counter enlightenment
and the iTSC reference page for Windows guests.
This feature provides a paravirtual approach to track timer events for
the guest (similar to kvmclock) with the option to use real hardware
clock on systems with a iTSC with compensation across various hosts.
According to the documentation describing various tunables for domain
timers not all the fields are supported by all the driver types. Express
these in the RNG:
- rtc, platform: Only these support the "track" attribute.
- tsc: only one to support "frequency" and "mode" attributes
- hpet, pit: tickpolicy/catchup attribute/element
- kvmclock: no extra attributes are supported
Additionally the attributes of the <catchup> element for
tickpolicy='catchup' are optional according to the parsing code. Express
this in the XML and fix a spurious space added while formatting the
<catchup> element and add tests for it.
Any test suite which involves a virDomainDefPtr should
call virDomainDefCheckABIStability with itself just as
a basic sanity check that the identity-comparison always
succeeds. This would have caught the recent NULL pointer
access crash.
Make sure we cope with def->name being NULL since the
VMWare config parser produces NULL names.

If there's the following snippet in the domain XML, the domain will be
lost upon the daemon restart (if the domain is started prior restart):
<seclabel type='dynamic' relabel='yes'/>
The problem is, the 'label', 'imagelabel' and 'baselabel' are parsed
whenever the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE is *not* present or the label is
static. The latter is not our case, obviously. So, when libvirtd starts
up, it finds domain state xml and parse it. During parsing, many XML
flags are enabled but VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE. Hence, our parser tries
to extract 'label', 'imagelabel' and 'baselabel' from the XML which
fails for model='none'. Err, this model - even though not specified in
XML - can be taken from qemu wide config file: /etc/libvirtd/qemu.conf.
However, in order to know we are dealing with model='none' the code in
question must be moved forward a bit. Then a new check must be
introduced. This is what the first two chunks are doing.
But this alone is not sufficient. The domain state XML won't contain the
model attribute without slight modification. The model should be
inserted into the XML even if equal to 'none' and the state XML is being
generated - what if the origin (the @security_driver variable in
qemu.conf) changes during libvirtd restarts?
At the end, a test to catch this scenario is introduced.

Commit 904e05a2 (v0.9.9) added a per-<disk> seclabel element with
an attribute relabel='no' in order to try and minimize the
impact of shutdown delays when an NFS server disappears. The idea
was that if a disk is on NFS and can't be labeled in the first
place, there is no need to attempt the (no-op) relabel on domain
shutdown. Unfortunately, the way this was implemented was by
modifying the domain XML so that the optimization would survive
libvirtd restart, but in a way that is indistinguishable from an
explicit user setting. Furthermore, once the setting is turned
on, libvirt avoids attempts at labeling, even for operations like
snapshot or blockcopy where the chain is being extended or pivoted
onto non-NFS, where SELinux labeling is once again possible. As
a result, it was impossible to do a blockcopy to pivot from an
NFS image file onto a local file.
The solution is to separate the semantics of a chain that must
not be labeled (which the user can set even on persistent domains)
vs. the optimization of not attempting a relabel on cleanup (a
live-only annotation), and using only the user's explicit notation
rather than the optimization as the decision on whether to skip
a label attempt in the first place. When upgrading an older
libvirtd to a newer, an NFS volume will still attempt the relabel;
but as the avoidance of a relabel was only an optimization, this
shouldn't cause any problems.
In the ideal future, libvirt will eventually have XML describing
EVERY file in the backing chain, with each file having a separate
<seclabel> element. At that point, libvirt will be able to track
more closely which files need a relabel attempt at shutdown. But
until we reach that point, the single <seclabel> for the entire
<disk> chain is treated as a hint - when a chain has only one
file, then we know it is accurate; but if the chain has more than
one file, we have to attempt relabel in spite of the attribute,
in case part of the chain is local and SELinux mattered for that
portion of the chain.

This patch adds in special handling for a few devices that need to be
treated differently for q35 domains:
usb - there is no implicit/default usb controller for the q35
machinetype. This is done because normally the default usb controller
is added to a domain by just adding "-usb" to the qemu commandline,
and it's assumed that this will add a single piix3 usb1 controller at
slot 1 function 2. That's not what happens when the machinetype is
q35, though. Instead, adding -usb to the commandline adds 3 usb
(version 2) controllers to the domain at slot 0x1D.{1,2,7}. Rather
than having
<controller type='usb' index='0'/>
translate into 3 separate devices on the PCI bus, it's cleaner to not
automatically add a default usb device; one can always be added
explicitly if desired. Or we may decide that on q35 machines, 3 usb
controllers will be automatically added when none is given. But for
this initial commit, at least we aren't locking ourselves into
something we later won't want.
video - qemu always initializes the primary video device immediately
after any integrated devices for the machinetype. Unless instructed
otherwise (by using "-device vga..." instead of "-vga" which libvirt
uses in many cases to work around deficiencies and bugs in various
qemu versions) qemu will always pick the first unused slot. In the
case of the "pc" machinetype and its derivatives, this is always slot
2, but on q35 machinetypes, the first free slot is slot 1 (since the
q35's integrated peripheral devices are placed in other slots,
e.g. slot 0x1f). In order to make the PCI address of the video device
predictable, that slot (1 or 2, depending on machinetype) is reserved
even when no video device has been specified.
sata - a q35 machine always has a sata controller implicitly added at
slot 0x1F, function 2. There is no way to avoid this controller, so we
always add it. Note that the xml2xml tests for the pcie-root and q35
cases were changed to use DO_TEST_DIFFERENT() so that we can check for
the sata controller being automatically added. This is especially
important because we can't check for it in the xml2argv output (it has
no effect on that output since it's an implicit device).
ide - q35 has no ide controllers.
isa and smbus controllers - these two are always present in a q35 (at
slot 0x1F functions 0 and 3) but we have no way of modelling them in
our config. We do need to reserve those functions so that the user
doesn't attempt to put anything else there though. (note that the "pc"
machine type also has an ISA controller, which we also ignore).
This PCI controller, named "dmi-to-pci-bridge" in the libvirt config,
and implemented with qemu's "i82801b11-bridge" device, connects to a
PCI Express slot (e.g. one of the slots provided by the pcie-root
controller, aka "pcie.0" on the qemu commandline), and provides 31
*non-hot-pluggable* PCI (*not* PCIe) slots, numbered 1-31.
Any time a machine is defined which has a pcie-root controller
(i.e. any q35-based machinetype), libvirt will automatically add a
dmi-to-pci-bridge controller if one doesn't exist, and also add a
pci-bridge controller. The reasoning here is that any useful domain
will have either an immediate (startup time) or eventual (subsequent
hot-plug) need for a standard PCI slot; since the pcie-root controller
only provides PCIe slots, we need to connect a dmi-to-pci-bridge
controller to it in order to get a non-hot-plug PCI slot that we can
then use to connect a pci-bridge - the slots provided by the
pci-bridge will be both standard PCI and hot-pluggable.
Since pci-bridge devices themselves can not be hot-plugged into a
running system (although you can hot-plug other devices into a
pci-bridge's slots), any new pci-bridge controller that is added can
(and will) be plugged into the dmi-to-pci-bridge as long as it has
empty slots available.
This patch is also changing the qemuxml2xml-pcie test from a "DO_TEST"
to a "DO_DIFFERENT_TEST". This is so that the "before" xml can omit
the automatically added dmi-to-pci-bridge and pci-bridge devices, and
the "after" xml can include it - this way we are testing if libvirt is
properly adding these devices.
This controller is implicit on q35 machinetypes. It provides 31 PCIe
(*not* PCI) slots as controller 0.
Currently there are no devices that can connect to pcie-root, and no
implicit pci controller on a q35 machine, so q35 is still
unusable. For a usable q35 system, we need to add a
"dmi-to-pci-bridge" pci controller, which can connect to pcie-root,
and provides standard pci slots that can be used to connect other
devices.
Since PCI bridges, PCIe bridges, PCIe switches, and PCIe root ports
all share the same namespace, they are all defined as controllers of
type='pci' in libvirt (but with a differing model attribute). Each of
these controllers has a certain connection type upstream, allows
certain connection types downstream, and each can either allow a
single downstream connection at slot 0, or connections from slot 1 -
31.
Right now, we only support the pci-root and pci-bridge devices, both
of which only allow PCI devices to connect, and both which have usable
slots 1 - 31. In preparation for adding other types of controllers
that have different capabilities, this patch 1) adds info to the
qemuDomainPCIAddressBus object to indicate the capabilities, 2) sets
those capabilities appropriately for pci-root and pci-bridge devices,
and 3) validates that the controller being connected to is the proper
type when allocating slots or validating that a user-selected slot is
appropriate for a device..
Having this infrastructure in place will make it much easier to add
support for the other PCI controller types.
While it would be possible to do all the necessary checking by just
storing the controller model in the qemyuDomainPCIAddressBus, it
greatly simplifies all the validation code to also keep a "flags",
"minSlot" and "maxSlot" for each - that way we can just check those
attributes rather than requiring a nearly identical switch statement
everywhere we need to validate compatibility.
You may notice many places where the flags are seemingly hard-coded to
QEMU_PCI_CONNECT_HOTPLUGGABLE | QEMU_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCI
This is currently the correct value for all PCI devices, and in the
future will be the default, with small bits of code added to change to
the flags for the few devices which are the exceptions to this rule.
Finally, there are a few places with "FIXME" comments. Note that these
aren't indicating places that are broken according to the currently
supported devices, they are places that will need fixing when support
for new PCI controller models is added.
To assure that there was no regression in the auto-allocation of PCI
addresses or auto-creation of integrated pci-root, ide, and usb
controllers, a new test case (pci-bridge-many-disks) has been added to
both the qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml tests. This new test defines a
domain with several dozen virtio disks but no pci-root or
pci-bridges. The .args file of the new test case was created using
libvirt sources from before this patch, and the test still passes
after this patch has been applied.
