When changing one of the src/libvirt-*.c files to alter the docs, the
adjusted files weren't being built. Added them into APIBUILD_STAMP and
then added that to the html/index.html rule which is used for the
$(apihtml_generated) generated rule.
Also, for clean we can remove the html/*.html files
So far the NSS module looks up only hostnames as provided by
guests themselves. However, there are some cases where this is
not enough: e.g. when there's a fresh new guest being installed
(with some generic hostname) say from a live ISO image; or some
(older) systems don't advertise their hostname in DHCP
transactions at all.
In cases like that it would be helpful if we translate domain
name as seen by libvirt too so that users can:
# virsh start $dom && ssh $dom
In order to achieve that new libvirt-guest module is introduced,
while older libvirt module maintains its current behaviour (that
is translating guest provided names into IP addresses).

When support was added for the kvm hidden='on' attribute in commit
d07116, the version requirement was listed as "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)". However, this was added when libvirt was at version 1.2.8 - it
is *QEMU* that must be at version 2.1.0 or later.
This went unnoticed for a very long time (over 2 years). Then a week
or two ago a new Windows convert in the #virt channel on OFTC was told
he needed to use this feature (to prevent nvidia drivers in a guest
from refusing to work due to being run in a virtual machine). There
was some problem with it being recognized and "someone" (it may have
been me, or may have been someone else, I don't remember) pointed out
that the documentation at
http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html
says that it requires libvirt 2.1.0. The next several days were filled
with agony as a new convert to Linux first tried to upgrade a Linux
Mint host running their "LTS" version to something newer, then tried
to install a libvirt build built for Ubuntu onto this, and later back
to the old LTS Linux Mint. After this he tried building his own
libvirt from source (with all the expected problems), and finally
switched to Fedora. In the end it was hours and hours of everybody's
lives that they will never get back. To now learn that he didn't need
to do this (his original libvirt version was 1.3.3, so whatever his
problem was, it was elsewhere) makes the pain all that much worse.
To prevent this from happening again, this simple patch changes the
version requirement for the kvm hidden attribute from "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)" to "1.2.8 (QEMU 2.1.0)".
So far only guestfwd and virtio were supported. Add an additional
for Xen as libxl channels create a Xen console visible to the guest.

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.
Individual vCPU hotplug requires us to track the state of any vCPU. To
allow this add the following XML:
<domain>
...
<vcpu current='2'>3</vcpu>
<vcpus>
<vcpu id='0' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no' order='1'/>
<vcpu id='1' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='yes' order='2'/>
<vcpu id='1' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/>
</vcpus>
...
The 'enabled' attribute allows to control the state of the vcpu.
'hotpluggable' controls whether given vcpu can be hotplugged and 'order'
allows to specify the order to add the vcpus.
For some unknown reason the original implementation of the <forwarder>
element only took advantage of part of the functionality in the
dnsmasq feature it exposes - it allowed specifying the ip address of a
DNS server which *all* DNS requests would be forwarded to, like this:
<forwarder addr='192.168.123.25'/>
This is a frontend for dnsmasq's "server" option, which also allows
you to specify a domain that must be matched in order for a request to
be forwarded to a particular server. This patch adds support for
specifying the domain. For example:
<forwarder domain='example.com' addr='192.168.1.1'/>
<forwarder domain='www.example.com'/>
<forwarder domain='travesty.org' addr='10.0.0.1'/>
would forward requests for bob.example.com, ftp.example.com and
joe.corp.example.com all to the DNS server at 192.168.1.1, but would
forward requests for travesty.org and www.travesty.org to
10.0.0.1. And due to the second line, requests for www.example.com,
and odd.www.example.com would be resolved by the libvirt network's own
DNS server (i.e. thery wouldn't be immediately forwarded) even though
they also match 'example.com' - the match is given to the entry with
the longest matching domain. DNS requests not matching any of the
entries would be resolved by the libvirt network's own DNS server.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1331796
If you define a libvirt virtual network with one or more IP addresses,
it starts up an instance of dnsmasq. It's always been possible to
avoid dnsmasq's dhcp server (simply don't include a <dhcp> element),
but until now it wasn't possible to avoid having the DNS server
listening; even if the network has no <dns> element, it is started
using default settings.
This patch adds a new attribute to <dns>: enable='yes|no'. For
backward compatibility, it defaults to 'yes', but if you don't want a
DNS server created for the network, you can simply add:
<dns enable='no'/>
to the network configuration, and next time the network is started
there will be no dns server created (if there is dhcp configuration,
dnsmasq will be started with "port=0" which disables the DNS server;
if there is no dhcp configuration, dnsmasq won't be started at all).
The new forward mode 'open' is just like mode='route', except that no
firewall rules are added to assure that any traffic does or doesn't
pass. It is assumed that either they aren't necessary, or they will be
setup outside the scope of libvirt.

On UNIX like systems there are no constraints on what characters
can be in file/dir names (except for NULL, obviously). Moreover,
some values that we think of as paths (e.g. disk source) are not
necessarily paths at all. For instance, some hypervisors take
that as an arbitrary identifier and corresponding file is then
looked up by hypervisor in its table. Instead of trying to fix
our regular expressions (and forgetting to include yet another
character there), lets drop the validation completely.

This element will control secure boot implemented by some
firmwares. If the firmware used in <loader/> does support the
feature we must tell it to the underlying hypervisor. However, we
can't know whether loader does support it or not just by looking

Since its release of 2.4.0 qemu is able to enable System
Management Module in the firmware, or disable it. We should
expose this capability in the XML. Unfortunately, there's no good
way to determine whether the binary we are talking to supports
it. I mean, if qemu's run with real machine type, the smm
attribute can be seen in 'qom-list /machine' output. But it's not
there when qemu's run with -M none. Therefore we're stuck with

Add the definitions to allow for viewing/setting cgroup period and quota
limits for IOThreads.
This is similar to the work done for emulator quota and period by
commit ids 'b65dafa' and 'e051c482'.
Being able to view/set the IOThread specific values is related to more
recent changes adding global period (commmit id '4d92d58f') and global
quota (commit id '55ecdae') definitions and qemu support (commit id
'4e17ff79' and 'fbcbd1b2'). With a global setting though, if somehow
the IOThread value in the cgroup hierarchy was set "outside of libvirt"
to a value that is incompatible with the global value.
Allowing control over IOThread specific values provides the capability
to alter the IOThread values as necessary.
According to libxl implementation, it supports pvusb
controller of version 1.1 and version 2.0, and it
supports two types of backend, 'pvusb' (dom0 backend)
and 'qusb' (qemu backend). But currently pvusb backend
is not checked in yet.
To match libxl support, extend usb controller schema
to support two more models: qusb1 (qusb, version 1.1)
and 'qusb2' (qusb version 2.0).

This patch reflects cases when <interface> element and its <source>
subelement for network type are formated based on actual type resolved
from referenced network instead of original one. networkAllocateActualDevice
and virDomainActualNetDefContentsFormat are taken as reference.
The current LUKS support has a "luks" volume type which has
a "luks" encryption format.
This partially makes sense if you consider the QEMU shorthand
syntax only requires you to specify a format=luks, and it'll
automagically uses "raw" as the next level driver. QEMU will
however let you override the "raw" with any other driver it
supports (vmdk, qcow, rbd, iscsi, etc, etc)
IOW the intention though is that the "luks" encryption format
is applied to all disk formats (whether raw, qcow2, rbd, gluster
or whatever). As such it doesn't make much sense for libvirt
to say the volume type is "luks" - we should be saying that it
is a "raw" file, but with "luks" encryption applied.
IOW, when creating a storage volume we should use this XML
<volume>
<name>demo.raw</name>
<capacity>5368709120</capacity>
<target>
<format type='raw'/>
<encryption format='luks'>
<secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
</encryption>
</target>
</volume>
and when configuring a guest disk we should use
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.raw'/>
<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
<encryption format='luks'>
<secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
</encryption>
</disk>

util: Add 'luks' to the FileTypeInfo
The storage file probing code is modified so that it can probe
the actual encryption formats explicitly, rather than merely
probing existance of encryption and letting the storage driver
guess the format.
The rest of the code is then adapted to deal with
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW w/ VIR_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_FORMAT_LUKS
instead of just VIR_STORAGE_FILE_LUKS.
The commit mentioned above was included in libvirt v2.0.0.
So when querying volume XML this will be a change in behaviour
vs the 2.0.0 release - it'll report 'raw' instead of 'luks'
for the volume format, but still report 'luks' for encryption
format. I think this change is OK because the storage driver
did not include any support for creating volumes, nor starting
guets with luks volumes in v2.0.0 - that only since then.
Clearly if we change this we must do it before v2.1.0 though.

Most of the lines we look at are not going to match one of the
driver types contained in $groups_regex.
Move on to the next line if it does not contain any of them early.
This speeds up the script execution by 50%, since this simple regex
does not have any capture groups.
The %groups hash contains all the driver types (e.g.
virHypervisorDriver or virSecretDriver).
When searching for all the APIs that are implemented by a driver
of that specific driver type, we keep iterating over the %groups
hash on every line we look at, then matching against the driver type.
This is inefficient because it prevents perl from caching the regex
and it executes the regex once for every driver type, even though
one regex matching excludes all the others, since all the driver types
are different.
Construct the regex containing all the driver types upfront to save
about 6.4s (~98%) of the script execution time.
When generating the hvsupport.html.in file, we parse the -api.xml
files generated by apibuild.py to know in which HTML file the API
function is.
Doing an XPath query for every single 'function' element in the
file is inefficient.
Since the XML file is generated by another of our build scripts
(apibuild.py, using Python's standard 'output.write' XML library),
just find the function name->file mapping by a regex upfront.
Also add a note about this next to the line that generates it
in apibuild.py and do not check if XML::XPath is installed in
bootstrap since we no longer use it.
We were requiring a USB port path in the schema, but not enforcing it.
Omitting the USB port would lead to libvirt formatting it as (null).
Such domain cannot be started and will disappear after libvirtd restart
(since it cannot parse back the XML).
Only format the port if it has been specified and mark it as optional
in the XML schema.
Commit id's 'c8438010', '9bbf0d7e', and '2552fec24' altered the documentation

usage model should be used, so adjust the various documents in order rephrase
descriptions in order to follow the correct usage model.

In order to use more common code and set up for a future type, modify the
encryption secret to allow the "usage" attribute or the "uuid" attribute
to define the secret. The "usage" in the case of a volume secret would be
the path to the volume as dictated by the backwards compatibility brought
on by virStorageGenerateQcowEncryption where it set up the usage field as
the vol->target.path and didn't allow someone to provide it. This carries
into virSecretObjListFindByUsageLocked which takes the secret usage attribute
value from from the domain disk definition and compares it against the
usage type from the secret definition. Since none of the code dealing
with qcow/qcow2 encryption secrets uses usage for lookup, it's a mostly
cosmetic change. The real usage comes in a future path where the encryption
is expanded to be a luks volume and the secret will allow definition of
the usage field.
This code will make use of the virSecretLookup{Parse|Format}Secret common code.

a.k.a. <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='net'>.
This replaces the existing nips, ips, nroutes, and routes with a
single virNetDevIPInfo, and simplifies the code by calling that
object's parse/format/clear functions instead of open coding.
There are currently two places in the domain where this combination is
used, and there is about to be another. This patch puts them together
for brevity and uniformity.
As with the newly-renamed virNetDevIPAddr and virNetDevIPRoute
objects, the new virNetDevIPInfo object will need to be accessed by a
utility function that calls low level Netlink functions (so we don't
want it to be in the conf directory) and will be called from multiple
hypervisor drivers (so it can't be in any hypervisor directory); the
most appropriate place is thus once again the util directory.
The parse and format functions are in conf/domain_conf.c because only
the domain XML (i.e. *not* the network XML) has this exact combination
of IP addresses plus routes. Note that virDomainNetIPInfoFormat() will
end up being the only caller to virDomainNetRoutesFormat() and
virDomainNetIPsFormat(), so it will just subsume those functions in a
later patch, but we can't do that until they are no longer called.
(It would have been nice to include the interface name within the
virNetDevIPInfo object (with a slight name change), but that can't
be done cleanly, because in each case the interface name is provided
in a different place in the XML relative to the routes and IP
addresses, so putting it in this object would actually make the code
more confused rather than simpler).
When support for <interface type='ethernet'> was added in commit
9a4b705f back in 2010, it erroneously looked at <source dev='blah'/>
for a user-specified guest-side interface name. This was never
documented though. (that attribute already existed at the time in the
data.ethernet union member of virDomainNetDef, but apparently had no
practical use - it was only used as a storage place for a NetDef's
bridge name during qemuDomainXMLToNative(), but even then that was
never used for anything).
When support for similar guest-side device naming was added to the lxc
driver several years later, it was put in a new subelement <guest
dev='blah'/>.
In the intervening years, since there was no validation that
ethernet.dev was NULL in the other drivers that didn't actually use
it, innocent souls who were adding other features assuming they needed
to account for non-NULL ethernet.dev when really they didn't, so
little bits of the usual pointless cargo-cult code showed up.
This patch not only switches the openvz driver to use the documented
<guest dev='blah'/> notation for naming the guest-side device (just in
case anyone is still using the openvz driver), and logs an error if
anyone tries to set <source dev='blah'/> for a type='ethernet'
interface, it also removes the cargo-cult uses of ethernet.dev and
<source dev='blah'/>, and eliminates if from the RNG and from
virDomainNetDef.
NB: I decided on this course of action after mentioning the
inconsistency here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-May/msg02038.html
and getting encouragement do eliminate it in a later IRC discussion
with danpb.

Many moons ago, commit id '8d7800a55' adjusted the format of the output
to add a space on the HEADER and the DATA... the docs weren't updated to
reflect that... This makes that adjustment.
In the case of chassisNr (used to set chassis_nr of a pci-bridge
controller), 0 is reserved for / used by the pci[e]-root bus. In the
base of busNr, a value of 0 would mean that the root bus had no places
available to plug in new buses, including the pxb itself (the
documentation I wrote for pxb even noted the limit of busNr as 1.254).
NB: oddly, the "chassis" attribute, which is used for pcie-root-port
and pcie-switch-downstream-port *can* be set to 0, since it's the
combination of {chassis, slot} that needs to be unique, not chassis by
itself (and slot 0 of pcie-root is reserved, while pcie-*-port can use
*only* slot 0).

have to match, if only one of them is provided we need to be able to parse that

The apibuild script is a terrifying beast that parses some source
files of ours and produces an XML representation of them. When it
comes to parsing enums we have in some header files, it tries to
be clever and detect a value that an enum member has (or if it is
an alias for a different member). Whilst doing that it has to
deal with values we give to the members in many formats. At some
places we just pass the value in decimal:
VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_PULL = 1,
in other places, we use the aliasing:
VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ACTIVE = VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE,
and in other places bitwise shifts are used:
VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS = 1 << 31, /* enforce requested stats */
The script tries to parse all of these resulting in the following
tokens: "1", "VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE", "1<<31"; Then, the
script tries to turn these into integers using python's eval()
function. This function succeeds on the first and the last
tokens. But, if we were to modify the last example so that it's
of the following form:
VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS = 1U << 31, /* enforce requested stats */
the token representing enum's member value will then be "1U<<31".
So our parsing is good. Unfortunately, python is not aware of the
difference between signed and unsigned C types, therefore eval()
fails over this token and the parser falls back thinking it's an
alias to another enum member. Well it's not.
The solution is to transform [0-9]U into [0-9] as for our
purposes here it's the same thing.

Hand-entering indexes for 20 PCI controllers is not as tedious as
manually determining and entering their PCI addresses, but it's still
annoying, and the algorithm for determining the proper index is
incredibly simple (in all cases except one) - just pick the lowest
unused index.
The one exception is USB2 controllers because multiple controllers in
the same group have the same index. For these we look to see if 1) the
most recently added USB controller is also a USB2 controller, and 2)
the group *that* controller belongs to doesn't yet have a controller
of the exact model we're just now adding - if both are true, the new
controller gets the same index, but in all other cases we just assign
the lowest unused index.
With this patch in place and combined with the automatic PCI address
assignment, we can define a PCIe switch with several ports like this:
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-upstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
...
These will each get a unique index, and PCI addresses that connect
them together appropriately with no pesky numbers required.

Prior to this, <address type='pci'/> wasn't allowed when parsing
(domain+bus+slot+function needed to be a "valid" PCI address, meaning
that at least one of domain/bus/slot had to be non-0), the RNG
required bus to be specified, and if type was set to PCI when
formatting, domain+bus+slot+function would always be output.
This makes all the address attributes optional during parse and RNG
validation, and suppresses domain+bus+slot+function if domain+bus+slot
are all 0 (NB: if d+b+s are all 0, any value for function is
nonsensical as that will never happen in the real world, and after
the next patch we will always assign a real working address to any
empty PCI address before it is ever output to anywhere).
Note that explicitly setting all attributes to 0 is equivalent to
setting none of them, which is okay, since 0000:00:00 is reserved in
any PCI bus setup, and can't be used anyway.
We support omitting listen attribute of graphics element so we should
also support omitting address attribute of listen element. This patch

Commit id '020135dc' didn't quite get the algorithm correct when a
device mapper source ended with a non numeric value (e.g. ends with
an alphabet value).
This patch modifies the 'part_separator' logic to add the "p" separator
to the attempted target path name only when specified as part_separator='yes'.
For a source name that already ends with a number, the logic doesn't change
as the part separator would need to be there.
For a source name that ends with something other than a number, this allows
the possibility that a "p" separator can be added. The default for one of
these source devices is to not add the separator.
The key for device mapper and the need for a partition separator "p" is
the presence of a number in the last character of the device name link
in /dev/mapper. A name such as "/dev/mapper/mpatha1" would generate
a "/dev/mapper/mpatha1p1" partition, while "/dev/mapper/mpatha" would
generate partition "/dev/mapper/mpatha1". Similarly for a device
mapper entry not using friendly names or an alias, a device such as
"/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93" would generate a
paritition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93p1", while
a device such as "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f" would
generate a partition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f1".
The long number is the WWID of the device. It's also possible to assign
an alias for a device mapper entry, that alias follows the same rules
with respect to ending with a number or not when adding a "p" to create
the target device path.
SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the
SRIOV card's transparent vlan tagging. All the code was there to set
the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.
This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.
