QEMU supports setting vendor and product strings for disk since
1.2.0 (only scsi-disk, scsi-hd, scsi-cd support it), this patch
exposes it with new XML elements <vendor> and <product> of disk
device.
Several tests assume that VNC is always available and include it in
their configs and the expected command line. The tests have nothing to
do with graphics display so they shouldn't rely on VNC.
When both kvmclock and kvm_pv_eoi are configured (either disabled or
enabled) libvirt will generate invalid CPU specification due to the
fact that even though kvmclock causes the CPU to be specified, it
doesn't set have_cpu flag to true (and the new kvm_pv_eoi as well).
This patch fixes the issue and adds a test exactly for that to show
that it is fixed correctly (and also to keep it that way in the future
of course).
When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover
the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a
simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This
avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the
startup path.
As a nice benefit we can now remove all the nasty hacks from
the test suite which were done to avoid having to exec QEMU
on the test system. The building of the -cpu command line
can just rely on data we pre-populate in qemuCapsPtr.

This patch cleans up building the "-boot" parameter and while on that
fixes one inconsistency by modifying these things:
- I completed the unfinished virDomainBootMenu enum by specifying
LAST, declaring it and also declaring the TypeFromString and
TypeToString parameters.
- Previously mentioned TypeFromString and TypeToString are used when
parsing the XML.
- Last, but not least, visible change is that the "-boot" parameter
is built and parsed properly:
- The "order=" prefix is used only when additional parameters are
used (menu, etc.).
- It's rewritten in a way that other parameters can be added
easily in the future (used in following patch).
- The "order=" parameter is properly parsed regardless to where it
is placed in the string (e.g. "menu=on,order=nc").
- The "menu=" parameter (and others in the future) are created
when they should be (i.e. even when bootindex is supported and
used, but not when bootloader is selected).
All of ide-drive, ide-hd, ide-cd, scsi-disk, scsi-hd, and scsi-cd
supports wwn property. (NB, scsi-block doesn't support to set wwn).

This patch adds full support for EOI setting for domains. Because this
is CPU feature (flag), the model needs to be added even when it's not
specified. Fortunately this problem was already solved with kvmclock,
so this patch simply abuses that.
And due to the size of the patch (17 lines) I dared to include the tests.
After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit
element as it creates the impression it would be there to
limit (i.e. throttle) I/O instead of specifying immutable
characteristics of a block device.
This is also backed by the fact that the term I/O Limits has
vanished from newer storage admin documentation.

The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:
within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>
Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements. If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.
Some examples:
<interface type='hostdev'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
</vlan>
<mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>
...
</interface>
<network>
<name>vlan-net</name>
<vlan trunk='yes'>
<tag id='30'/>
</vlan>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
</network>
<interface type='network'/>
<source network='vlan-net'/>
...
</interface>
<network>
<name>trunk-vlan</name>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
<tag id='43'/>
</vlan>
...
</network>
<network>
<name>multi</name>
...
<portgroup name='production'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
</vlan>
</portgroup>
<portgroup name='test'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='666'/>
</vlan>
</portgroup>
</network>
<interface type='network'/>
<source network='multi' portgroup='test'/>
...
</interface>
IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)
Until now, all attributes in a <virtualport> parameter list that were
acceptable for a particular type, were also required. There were no
optional attributes.
One of the aims of supporting <virtualport> in libvirt's virtual
networks and portgroups is to allow specifying the group-wide
parameters in the network's virtualport, and merge that with the
interface's virtualport, which will have the instance-specific info
(i.e. the interfaceid or instanceid).
Additionally, the guest's interface XML shouldn't need to know what
type of network connection will be used prior to runtime - it could be
openvswitch, 802.1Qbh, 802.1Qbg, or none of the above - but should
still be able to specify instance-specific info just in case it turns
out to be applicable.
Finally, up to now, the parser for virtualport has always generated a
random instanceid/interfaceid when appropriate, making it impossible
to leave it blank (which is what's required for virtualports within a
network/portprofile definition).
This patch modifies the parser and formatter of the <virtualport>
element in the following ways:
* because most of the attributes in a virNetDevVPortProfile are fixed
size binary data with no reserved values, there is no way to embed a
"this value wasn't specified" sentinel into the existing data. To
solve this problem, the new *_specified fields in the
virNetDevVPortProfile object that were added in a previous patch of
this series are now set when the corresponding attribute is present
during the parse.
* allow parsing/formatting a <virtualport> that has no type set. In
this case, all fields are settable, but all are also optional.
* add a GENERATE_MISSING_DEFAULTS flag to the parser - if this flag is
set and an instanceid/interfaceid is expected but not provided, a
random one will be generated. This was previously the default
behavior, but is now done only for virtualports inside an
<interface> definition, not for those in <network> or <portgroup>.
* add a REQUIRE_ALL_ATTRIBUTES flag to the parser - if this flag is
set the parser will call the new
virNetDevVPortProfileCheckComplete() functions at the end of the
parser to check for any missing attributes (based on type), and
return failure if anything is missing. This used to be default
behavior. Now it is only used for the virtualport defined inside an
interface's <actual> element (by the time you've figured out the
contents of <actual>, you should have all the necessary data to fill
in the entire virtualport)
* add a REQUIRE_TYPE flag to the parser - if this flag is set, the
parser will return an error if the virtualport has no type
attribute. This also was previously the default behavior, but isn't
needed in the case of the virtualport for a type='network' interface
(i.e. the exact type isn't yet known), or the virtualport of a
portgroup (i.e. the portgroup just has modifiers for the network's
virtualport, which *does* require a type) - in those cases, the
check will be done at domain startup, once the final virtualport is
assembled (this is handled in the next patch).
This patch enables the "none" USB controller for qemu guests and adds
valdiation on hot-plugged devices if the guest has USB disabled.
This patch also adds a set of tests to check parsing of domain XMLs that
use the "none" controller and some forbidden situations concerning it.

Commit 5e6ce1 moved down detection of the ACPI feature in
qemuParseCommandLine. However, when ACPI is detected, it clears
all feature flags in def->features to only set ACPI. This used to
be fine because this was the first place were def->features was set,
but after the move this is no longer necessarily true because this
block comes before the ACPI check:
if (strstr(def->emulator, "kvm")) {
def->virtType = VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_KVM;
def->features |= (1 << VIR_DOMAIN_FEATURE_PAE);
}
Since def is allocated in qemuParseCommandLine using VIR_ALLOC, we
can always use |= when modifying def->features
I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.
It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0
The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".
If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.

Currently, monitoring QEMU virtual machines with standard Unix
sysadmin tools is harder than it has to be. The QEMU command line is
often miles long and mostly redundant, it's hard to tell which process
is which.
This patch reorders the QEMU -name argument to be the first, so it's
immediately visible in "ps x", htop and "atop -c" output.
The uhci1, uhci2, uhci3 companion controllers for ehci1 must
have a master start port set. Since this value is predictable
we should set it automatically if the app does not supply it
Currently each USB2 companion controller gets put on a separate
PCI slot. Not only is this wasteful of PCI slots, but it is not
in compliance with the spec for USB2 controllers. The master
echi1 and all companion controllers should be in the same slot,
with echi1 in function 7, and uhci1-3 in functions 0-2 respectively.

<vcpu> is not an optional node. The value for its 'placement'
actually always defaults to 'static' in the underlying codes.
(Even no 'cpuset' and 'placement' is specified, the domain
process will be pinned to all the available pCPUs).
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.
This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:
<numatune>
<memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.
If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".
The following XML can now fully drive numad:
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
<numatune>.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
</numatune>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
</numatume>
A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.
qemu's behavior in this case is to change the spice server behavior to

In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror. Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front. This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
<mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
...
</disk>
For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing). The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase. If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the
offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'.
Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset
behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward
compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
incorrect XML.

numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
