1dcbef8a0f qemuBuildHostNetStr: Explicitly enumerate net types
We tend to prevent using 'default' in switches. And it is for a
good reason - control may end up in paths we wouldn't want for
new values. In this specific case, if qemuBuildHostNetStr is
called over VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_VHOSTUSER it would produce
meaningless output. Fortunately, there no such call yet.

4a74ccdb92 qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine: Move vhostuser handling a bit further
The idea is to have function that does some checking of the

the interface types it supports. Each one of them generating the
corresponding part of the command line.

05af6784b1 qemu_capabilities: mark QEMU_CAPS_VGA_QXL capability as deprecated
If QEMU in question supports QMP, this capability is set if
QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL was set based on existence of "-device qxl". If
libvirt needs to parse *help*, because there is no QMP support, it
checks for existence of "-vga qxl", but it also parses output of
"-device ?" and sets QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL too.

Now that libvirt supports only QEMU that has "-device" implemented it's
safe to drop this capability and stop using it.

34a4447bd4 qemu_capabilities: join capabilities for qxl and qxl-vga devices
This patch simplifies QEMU capabilities for QXL video device.  QEMU
exposes this device as *qxl-vga* and *qxl* and they are both the same
device with the same set of parameters, the only difference is that
*qxl-vga* includes VGA compatibility.

Based on QEMU code they are tied together so it's safe to check only for
presence of only one of them.

This patch also removes an invalid test case "video-qxl-sec-nodevice"
where there is only *qxl-vga* device and *qxl* device is not present.

    Use the standard '-device intel-iommu' to create the IOMMU device.
    The legacy '-machine,iommu=on' can still be used.

The libvirt capability check & command line formatting code
is thus broken for all QEMU versions 2.2.0 -> 2.6.0 inclusive.

This fixes it to use iommu=on instead.

a1417d5305 qemu: Convert from shorthand to longer throttling names
We're about to add 6 new options and it appears (from testing) one cannot
utilize both the shorthand (alias) and (much) longer names for the arguments.
So modify the command builder to use the longer name and of course alter the
test output .args to have the similarly innocuous long name.

Also utilize a macro to build that name makes it so much more visually
appealing and saves a few characters or potential cut-n-paste issues.

ff3112f3dc qemu: Only use memory-backend-file with NUMA if needed
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.

Storing the updated CPU definition in the live domain definition saves
us from having to update it over and over when we need it. Not to
mention that we will soon further update the CPU definition according to

A highly wanted side effect of this patch, libvirt will pass all CPU
features explicitly specified in domain XML to QEMU, even those that are
already included in the host model.

706b5b6277 qemu: map "virtio" video model to "virt" machtype correctly (arm/aarch64)
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.

90e178f8bf qemu: allow turning off QEMU guest RAM dump globally
We already have the ability to turn off dumping of guest
RAM via the domain XML. This is not particularly useful
though, as it is under control of the management application.
What is needed is a way for the sysadmin to turn off guest
RAM defaults globally, regardless of whether the mgmt app
provides its own way to set this in the domain XML.

So this adds a 'dump_guest_core' option in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
which defaults to false. ie guest RAM will never be included in
the QEMU core dumps by default. This default is different from
historical practice, but is considered to be more suitable as
a default because

 a) guest RAM can be huge and so inflicts a DOS on the host
    I/O subsystem when dumping core for QEMU crashes

 b) guest RAM can contain alot of sensitive data belonging
    to the VM owner. This should not generally be copied
    around inside QEMU core dumps submitted to vendors for
    debugging

 c) guest RAM contents are rarely useful in diagnosing
    QEMU crashes

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.

8807f28b85 qemu: command: Add helper to convert vcpu definition to JSON props
For use on the monitor we need to format certain parts of the vcpu
private definition into a JSON object. Add a helper.

d53d465083 qemu: Fix the command line generation for rbd auth using aes secrets
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:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-August/msg00777.html

for details. Introduced by commit id 'a1344f70'.

ef11e770da qemu_command: don't modify heads for graphics device
Setting heads to 0 in case that *max_outputs* is not supported while building
command line doesn't have any real effect.  It only removes *heads* attribute
from live XML, but after restarting libvirt the default value is restored.

f257a4adf1 qemu: command: Simplify USB controller model selection
Since we now pick the default USB controller model when parsing
the guest XML, we can get rid of some duplicated code so that
the default model selection happens in one place only.

Add some comments as well.

9c1524a01c qemu: Enable secure boot
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.
