Up until a while ago, libvirt would automatically add a legacy
PCI controllers combo (dmi-to-pci-bridge + pci-bridge) to any
PCIe machine type (x86_64/q35 and aarch64/virt).
As a result, a number of input and output files in the test
suite ended up containing the legacy PCI controllers, even
though they are not needed or in any way relevant to the
feature being tested.
Get rid of most of the occurrences. Most of the time, this
just means removing the controllers from the input file and
regenerating the output files; in a few instances, some
minor tweaking is performed on the input file, most notably
removing the memory balloon: as memory balloon support was
not the scope of the test being changed, there is no loss
of test coverage from doing so.
Several occurrences of the legacy PCI controllers remain in
the test suite, both because removing their usage would have
required even more tweaking, and because we still want to
have coverage of this perfectly valid combination.
If one of QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL_VGA or QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL is set the
other one will always be set as well because both devices are tied
together in QEMU.
The change of args files is caused by the presence of capability
QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIDEO_PRIMARY which means it's safe to use
"-device qxl-vga" instead of "-vga qxl", see commit (e3f2686b) and
by the fact that if QEMU_CAPS_VGA_QXL is set QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL_VGA
and QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL would be set too (since we support only qemu
with "-device" option).

When support for dmi-to-pci-bridge was added, it was assumed that,
just as with the pci-root bus, slot 0 was reserved. This is not the
case - it can be used to connect a device just like any other slot, so
remove the restriction and update the test cases that auto-assign an
address on a dmi-to-pci-bridge.
Per-domain directories were introduced in order to be able to
completely separate security labels for each domain (commit
f1f68ca334). However when the domain
name is long (let's say a ridiculous 110 characters), we cannot
connect to the monitor socket because on length of UNIX socket address
is limited. In order to get around this, let's shorten it in similar
fashion and in order to avoid conflicts, throw in an ID there as well.
Also save that into the status XML and load the old status XMLs
properly (to clean up after older domains). That way we can change it
in the future.
The shortening can be seen in qemuxml2argv tests, for example in the
hugepages-pages2 case.

Use virDomainDefAddUSBController() to add an EHCI1+UHCI1+UHCI2+UHCI3
controller set to newly defined Q35 domains that don't have any USB
controllers defined.
Just recently, qemu forbade specifying format for sourceless
disks (qemu commit 39c4ae941ed992a3bb5). It kind of makes sense.
If there's no file to open, why specify its format. Anyway, I
have a domain like this:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
and obviously I am unable to start it. Therefore, a fix on our
side is needed too.

As of QEMU 0.10.0 the -drive format= parameter was added,
so the QEMU driver can assume it is always available.

tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

This uses the new subelement/attribute in two ways:
1) If a "pci-bridge" pci controller has no chassisNr attribute, it
will automatically be set to the controller's index as soon as the
controller's PCI address is known (during
qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses()).
2) when creating the commandline for a pci-bridge device, chassisNr
will be used to set qemu's chassis_nr option (rather than the previous
practice of hard-coding it to the controller's index).
QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

This resolves one of the issues listed in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003983
00:1E.0 is the location of this controller on at least some actual Q35
hardware, so we try to replicate the placement. The bridge should work
just as well in any other location though, so if 00:1E.0 isn't
available, just allow it to be auto-assigned anywhere appropriate.
This resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008903
The Q35 machinetype has an implicit SATA controller at 00:1F.2 which
isn't given the "expected" id of ahci0 by qemu when it's created. The
original suggested solution to this problem was to not specify any
controller for the disks that use the default controller and just
specify "unit=n" instead; qemu should then use the first IDE or SATA
controller for the disk.
Unfortunately, this "solution" is ignorant of the fact that in the
case of SATA disks, the "unit" attribute in the disk XML is actually
*not* being used for the unit, but is instead used to specify the
"bus" number; each SATA controller has 6 buses, and each bus only
allows a single unit. This makes it nonsensical to specify unit='n'
where n is anything other than 0. It also means that the only way to
connect more than a single device to the implicit SATA controller is
to explicitly give the bus names, which happen to be "ide.$n", where
$n can be replaced by the disk's "unit" number.
On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
q35 machines have an implicit ahci (sata) controller at 00:1F.2 which
has no "id" associated with it. For this reason, we can't refer to it
as "ahci0". Instead, we don't give an id on the commandline, which
qemu interprets as "use the first ahci controller". We then need to
specify the unit with "unit=%d" rather than adding it onto the bus
arg.
We had been setting the device alias in the devinceinfo for pci
controllers to "pci%u", but then hardcoding "pci.%u" when creating the
device address for other devices using that pci bus. This all worked
just fine until we encountered the built-in "pcie.0" bus (the PCIe
root complex) in Q35 machines.
In order to create the correct commandline for this one case, this
patch:
1) sets the alias for PCI controllers correctly, to "pci.%u" (or
"pcie.%u" for the pcie-root controller)
2) eliminates the hardcoded "pci.%u" for pci controllers when
generatuing device address strings, and instead uses the controller's
alias.
3) plumbs a pointer to the virDomainDef all the way down to
qemuBuildDeviceAddressStr. This was necessary in order to make the
aliase of the controller *used by a device* available (previously
qemuBuildDeviceAddressStr only had the deviceinfo of the device
itself, *not* of the controller it was connecting to). This made for a
larger than desired diff, but at least in the future we won't have to
do it again, since all the information we could possibly ever need for
future enhancements is in the virDomainDef. (right?)
This should be done for *all* controllers, but for now we just do it
in the case of PCI controllers, to reduce the likelyhood of
regression.
This patch adds in special handling for a few devices that need to be
treated differently for q35 domains:
usb - there is no implicit/default usb controller for the q35
machinetype. This is done because normally the default usb controller
is added to a domain by just adding "-usb" to the qemu commandline,
and it's assumed that this will add a single piix3 usb1 controller at
slot 1 function 2. That's not what happens when the machinetype is
q35, though. Instead, adding -usb to the commandline adds 3 usb
(version 2) controllers to the domain at slot 0x1D.{1,2,7}. Rather
than having
<controller type='usb' index='0'/>
translate into 3 separate devices on the PCI bus, it's cleaner to not
automatically add a default usb device; one can always be added
explicitly if desired. Or we may decide that on q35 machines, 3 usb
controllers will be automatically added when none is given. But for
this initial commit, at least we aren't locking ourselves into
something we later won't want.
video - qemu always initializes the primary video device immediately
after any integrated devices for the machinetype. Unless instructed
otherwise (by using "-device vga..." instead of "-vga" which libvirt
uses in many cases to work around deficiencies and bugs in various
qemu versions) qemu will always pick the first unused slot. In the
case of the "pc" machinetype and its derivatives, this is always slot
2, but on q35 machinetypes, the first free slot is slot 1 (since the
q35's integrated peripheral devices are placed in other slots,
e.g. slot 0x1f). In order to make the PCI address of the video device
predictable, that slot (1 or 2, depending on machinetype) is reserved
even when no video device has been specified.
sata - a q35 machine always has a sata controller implicitly added at
slot 0x1F, function 2. There is no way to avoid this controller, so we
always add it. Note that the xml2xml tests for the pcie-root and q35
cases were changed to use DO_TEST_DIFFERENT() so that we can check for
the sata controller being automatically added. This is especially
important because we can't check for it in the xml2argv output (it has
no effect on that output since it's an implicit device).
ide - q35 has no ide controllers.
isa and smbus controllers - these two are always present in a q35 (at
slot 0x1F functions 0 and 3) but we have no way of modelling them in
our config. We do need to reserve those functions so that the user
doesn't attempt to put anything else there though. (note that the "pc"
machine type also has an ISA controller, which we also ignore).
This PCI controller, named "dmi-to-pci-bridge" in the libvirt config,
and implemented with qemu's "i82801b11-bridge" device, connects to a
PCI Express slot (e.g. one of the slots provided by the pcie-root
controller, aka "pcie.0" on the qemu commandline), and provides 31
*non-hot-pluggable* PCI (*not* PCIe) slots, numbered 1-31.
Any time a machine is defined which has a pcie-root controller
(i.e. any q35-based machinetype), libvirt will automatically add a
dmi-to-pci-bridge controller if one doesn't exist, and also add a
pci-bridge controller. The reasoning here is that any useful domain
will have either an immediate (startup time) or eventual (subsequent
hot-plug) need for a standard PCI slot; since the pcie-root controller
only provides PCIe slots, we need to connect a dmi-to-pci-bridge
controller to it in order to get a non-hot-plug PCI slot that we can
then use to connect a pci-bridge - the slots provided by the
pci-bridge will be both standard PCI and hot-pluggable.
Since pci-bridge devices themselves can not be hot-plugged into a
running system (although you can hot-plug other devices into a
pci-bridge's slots), any new pci-bridge controller that is added can
(and will) be plugged into the dmi-to-pci-bridge as long as it has
empty slots available.
This patch is also changing the qemuxml2xml-pcie test from a "DO_TEST"
to a "DO_DIFFERENT_TEST". This is so that the "before" xml can omit
the automatically added dmi-to-pci-bridge and pci-bridge devices, and
the "after" xml can include it - this way we are testing if libvirt is
properly adding these devices.
