Our HACKING discourages use of malloc and free, for at least
a couple of years now. But we weren't enforcing it, until now :)
For now, I've exempted python and tests, and will clean those up
in subsequent patches. Examples should be permanently exempt,
since anyone copying our examples won't have use of our
internal-only memory.h via libvirt_util.la.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_raw_allocation): New rule.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_raw_allocation): and
exemptions.
* src/cpu/cpu.c (cpuDataFree): Avoid false positive.
* src/conf/network_conf.c (virNetworkDNSSrvDefParseXML): Fix
offenders.
* src/libxl/libxl_conf.c (libxlMakeDomBuildInfo, libxlMakeVfb)
(libxlMakeDeviceModelInfo): Likewise.
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c (virNetMessageSaveError): Likewise.
* tools/virsh.c (_vshMalloc, _vshCalloc): Likewise.
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
To add support for running libvirt on PowerPC, a CPU driver for the
PowerPC platform must be added.
Most generic cpu driver routines such as CPU compare, decode, etc
are based on CPUID comparison and are not relevant for non-x86
platforms.
Here, we introduce stubs for relevant PowerPC routines invoked by libvirt.

Auto-indent makes life a bit easier; this patch also drops unused
arguments and replaces a misspelled flag name with two entry points
instead, so that callers don't have to worry about how much spacing
is present when embedding cpu elements.
* src/conf/cpu_conf.h (virCPUFormatFlags): Delete.
(virCPUDefFormat): Drop unused argument.
(virCPUDefFormatBuf): Alter signature.
(virCPUDefFormatBufFull): New prototype.
* src/conf/cpu_conf.c (virCPUDefFormatBuf): Split...
(virCPUDefFormatBufFull): ...into new function.

Commit 498d783 cleans up some of virtual file names for parsing strings
in memory. This patch cleans up (hopefuly) the rest forgotten by the
first patch.
This patch also changes all of the previously modified "filenames" to
valid URI's replacing spaces for underscores.
Changes to v1:
- Replace all spaces for underscores, so that the strings form valid
URI's
- Replace spaces in places changed by commit 498d783
This enables support for nested SVM using the regular CPU
model/features block. If the CPU model or features include
'svm', then the '-enable-nesting' flag will be added to the
QEMU command line. Latest out of tree patches for nested
'vmx', no longer require the '-enable-nesting' flag. They
instead just look at the cpu features. Several of the models
already include svm support, but QEMU was just masking out
the svm bit silently. So this will enable SVM on such
models
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: flag for -enable-nesting
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Use -enable-nesting if VMX or SVM are in
the CPUID
* src/cpu/cpu.h, src/cpu/cpu.c: API to check for a named feature
* src/cpu/cpu_x86.c: x86 impl of feature check
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add cpuHasFeature
* src/qemuhelptest.c: Add nesting flag where required
When comparing a CPU without <model> element, such as
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
libvirt would happily crash without warning.
By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
All features in the baseline CPU definition were always created with
policy='require' even though an arch driver returned them with different
policy settings.
Adds ability to provide a preferred CPU model for CPUID data decoding.
Such model would be considered as the best possible model (if it's
supported by hypervisor) regardless on number of features which have to
be added or removed for describing required CPU.
Useful mainly for migration. cpuUpdate changes guest CPU requirements in
the following way:
- match == "strict" || match == "exact"
- optional features which are supported by host CPU are changed into
required features
- optional features which are not supported by host CPU are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
- match == "minimum"
- match is changed into "exact"
- optional features and all features not mentioned in guest CPU
specification which are supported by host CPU become required
features
- other optional features are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
This ensures that no feature will suddenly disappear from the guest
after migration.
All other libvirt functions use array first and then number of elements
in that array. Let's make cpuDecode follow this rule.

The virConnectPtr is no longer required for error reporting since
that is recorded in a thread local. Remove use of virConnectPtr
from all APIs in cpu_conf.{h,c} and update all callers to
match
Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
&forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
&disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
to the hypervisor
Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
allowed model names:
cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor
