NB: the enum that uses the string vnet-host (now changed to vhost-net)
is used in XML, but fortunately that hasn't been in an official
release yet, so it can still be fixed.
This was discussed in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-May/msg01370.html
The capabilities code only sets the flag to allow use of vhost-net if
kvm is detected (set if the help string contains "(qemu-kvm-" or
"(kvm-"), but actually vhost-net is available in some qemu builds that
don't have kvm in their name, so just checking for ",vhost=" is enough.
These VIR_XXXX0 APIs make us confused, use the non-0-suffix APIs instead.
How do these coversions works? The magic is using the gcc extension of ##.
When __VA_ARGS__ is empty, "##" will swallow the "," in "fmt," to
avoid compile error.
example: origin after CPP
high_level_api("%d", a_int) low_level_api("%d", a_int)
high_level_api("a string") low_level_api("a string")
About 400 conversions.
8 special conversions:
VIR_XXXX0("") -> VIR_XXXX("msg") (avoid empty format) 2 conversions
VIR_XXXX0(string_literal_with_%) -> VIR_XXXX(%->%%) 0 conversions
VIR_XXXX0(non_string_literal) -> VIR_XXXX("%s", non_string_literal)
(for security) 6 conversions

To cope with the QEMU binary being changed while a VM is running,
it is neccessary to persist the original qemu capabilities at the
time the VM is booted.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c, src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h: Add
an enum for a string rep of every capability
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Support for
storing capabilities in the domain status XML
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Populate & free QEMU capabilities at
domain startup
When initializing qemu guest capabilities, we should ignore qemu
binaries that we are not able to extract version/help info from since
they will be unusable for creating domains anyway. Ignoring them is also
much better than letting initialization of qemu driver fail.
This simplifies several callers that were repeating checks already
guaranteed by util.c, and makes other callers more robust to now
reject directories. remote_driver.c was over-strict - access(,R_OK)
is only needed to execute a script file; a binary only needs
access(,X_OK) (besides, it's unusual to see a file with x but not
r permissions, whether script or binary).
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_access_xok): New syntax-check rule.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_access_xok): Exempt one use.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c (networkStartRadvd): Fix offenders.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsProbeMachineTypes)
(qemuCapsInitGuest, qemuCapsInit, qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo):

For qemu names the primary vga as "qxl-vga":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE,...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device, (use the default
set by global):
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
For qemu names all qxl devices as "qxl":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE ...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
"-global" is the only way to define vram_size for the primary qxl
device, regardless of how qemu names it, (It's not good a good
way, as original idea of "-global" is to set a global default for
a driver property, but to specify vram for first qxl device, we
have to use it).
For other qxl devices, as they are represented by "-device", could
specify it directly and seperately for each, and it overrides the
default set by "-global" if specified.
v1 - v2:
* modify "virDomainVideoDefaultRAM" so that it returns 16M as the
default vram_size for qxl device.
* vram_size * 1024 (qemu accepts bytes for vram_size).
* apply default vram_size for qxl device for which vram_size is
not specified.
* modify "graphics-spice" tests (more sensiable vram_size)
* Add an argument of virDomainDefPtr type for qemuBuildVideoDevStr,
to use virDomainVideoDefaultRAM in qemuBuildVideoDevStr).
v2 - v3:
* Modify default video memory size for qxl device from 16M to 24M
* Update codes to be consistent with changes on qemu_capabilities.*
This is done for two reasons:
- we are getting very close to 64 flags which is the maximum we can use
with unsigned long long
- by using LL constants in enum we already violates C99 constraint that
enum values have to fit into int

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662
Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS should be set in the function
qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo()
The flag QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS is used in the function
qemuBuildDeviceAddressStr(). All callers get qemuCmdFlags
by the function qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() except that
testCompareXMLToArgvFiles() in qemuxml2argvtest.c.
So we should set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS in the function
qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() instead of qemuBuildCommandLine()
because the function qemuBuildCommandLine() does not be called
when we attach a pci device.
tests: set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS in testCompareXMLToArgvFiles()
set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS before calling qemuBuildCommandLine()
as the flags is not set by qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo().

When probing machine types if the QEMU binary does not exist
we get a hard to diagnose error, due to the execve() in the
child failing
error: internal error Child process exited with status 1.
Add an explicit check so that we get

qemu 0.13.0 (at least as built for Fedora 14, and also backported to
RHEL 6.0 qemu) supported an older syntax for a spicevmc channel; it's
not as flexible (it has an implicit name and hides the chardev
aspect), but now that we support spicevmc, we might as well target
both variants.

In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available
v5:
Comment spelling fixes
Fixes regression introduced in commit 2211518, where all qemu 0.12.x
fails to start, as does qemu 0.13.x lacking the pci-assign device.
Prior to 2211518, the code was just ignoring a non-zero exit status
from the qemu child, but the virCommand code checked this to avoid
masking any other issues, which means the real bug of provoking
non-zero exit status has been latent for a longer time.
