The reworked API is now called virCPUUpdate and it should change the
provided CPU definition into a one which can be consumed by the QEMU
command line builder:
- host-passthrough remains unchanged
- host-model is turned into custom CPU with a model and features
copied from host
- custom CPU with minimum match is converted similarly to host-model
- optional features are updated according to host's CPU

The domain capabilities XML is capable of showing whether each guest CPU
mode is supported or not with a possibility to provide additional
details. This patch enhances host-model capability to advertise the
exact CPU model which will be used as a host-model:
<cpu>
...
<mode name='host-model' supported='yes'>
<model fallback='allow'>Broadwell</model>
<vendor>Intel</vendor>
<feature policy='disable' name='aes'/>
<feature policy='require' name='vmx'/>
</mode>
...

Host capabilities provide libvirt's view of the host CPU, but for a
useful support for host-model CPUs we really need a hypervisor's view of
the CPU. And since the view can be differ with emulator, qemu
capabilities is the best place to store the host CPU model.
This patch just copies the CPU model from host capabilities, but this
will change in the future.

In case a hypervisor is able to tell us a list of supported CPU models
and whether each CPU models can be used on the current host, we can
propagate this to domain capabilities. This is a better alternative
to calling virConnectCompareCPU for each supported CPU model.

The x86 CPU driver translated each CPU definition from domain XML into
CPUID data and then back to CPU definition. This effectively sorted the
list of CPU features according to their CPUID values. Since this is
going to change, we need to reorder CPU features in a few test files to
make sure the generated QEMU command lines will not change.

Changing a host architecture or a CPU is not as easy as assigning a new

between the CPU and host architecture (we don't really want to test

Commit 8563560026 switched from
hardcoded use of strcontent to hardcoded use of fixedcontent
(fixedcontent is *sometimes* a copy of strcontent with a \n
appended). This was a problem because sometimes fixedcontent is *not*
a copy of strcontent, but is instead NULL, leading to the regenerated
test case output being a 0 length file.
This patch creates a new const char *cmpcontent initialized to
strcontent, but changed to fixedcontent if/when fixedcontent is
created, then always uses cmpcontent instead of (str|fixed)content.
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.

Advantage is that this code can be tested by unit tests.

The virsh-self-test script compared the test's return code with 1 and only if
the return code matched this value then the test was marked as failed. Problem
is that SIGSEGV returns 139 (or 11 to be precise, since shell reserves the MSB
for abnormal exit signaling) which passes the check just fine and test then
appears as successful which it most certainly wasn't.
Therefore, flip the logic to compare against 0 instead and every other result
will be treated as a failed test case.

Add a new secret usage type known as "tls" - it will handle adding the
secret objects for various TLS objects that need to provide some sort
of passphrase in order to access the credentials.
The format is:
<secret ephemeral='no' private='no'>
<description>Sample TLS secret</description>
<usage type='tls'>
<name>mumblyfratz</name>
</usage>
</secret>
Once defined and a passphrase set, future patches will allow the UUID
to be set in the qemu.conf file and thus used as a secret for various
TLS options such as a chardev serial TCP connection, a NBD client/server
connection, and migration.

When building a chardev device string for tcp, add the necessary pieces to
access provide the TLS X.509 path to qemu. This includes generating the
'tls-creds-x509' object and then adding the 'tls-creds' parameter to the
VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_TCP command line.
Finally add the tests for the qemu command line. This test will make use
of the "new(ish)" /etc/pki/qemu setting for a TLS certificate environment
by *not* "resetting" the chardevTLSx509certdir prior to running the test.
Also use the default "verify" option (which is "no").

Add a new TLS X.509 certificate type - "chardev". This will handle the
creation of a TLS certificate capability (and possibly repository) for
properly configured character device TCP backends.
Unlike the vnc and spice there is no "listen" or "passwd" associated. The
credentials eventually will be handled via a libvirt secret provided to
a specific backend.
Make use of the default verify option as well.

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.
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.
Power 8 platform's basic hotpluggable unit is a core rather than a
thread for x86_64 family. This introduces most of the complexity of the
matching code and thus needs to be tested.
The test data contain data captured from in-order cpu hotplug and
unplug operations.
During review it was reported that adding at least 11 vcpus creates a
collision of prefixes in the monitor matching algorithm. Add a test case
to verify that the problem won't happen.
