48e5fe7af4 tests: Rename firmware-auto-efi-format-loader-qcow2-nvram-path
Now that, after the recent changes, the test passes, its old
name is no longer accurate.

While at it, enable the xml2xml part for it as well.

10a8997cbb conf: Don't default to raw format for loader/NVRAM
Due to the way the information is stored by the XML parser, we've
had this quirk where specifying any information about the loader
or NVRAM would implicitly set its format to raw. That is,

  <nvram>/path/to/guest_VARS.fd</nvram>

would effectively be interpreted as

  <nvram format='raw'>/path/to/guest_VARS.fd</nvram>

forcing the use of raw format firmware even when qcow2 format
would normally be preferred based on the ordering of firmware
descriptors. This behavior can be worked around in a number of
ways, but it's fairly unintuitive.

In order to remove this quirk, move the selection of the default
firmware format from the parser down to the individual drivers.

Most drivers only support raw firmware images, so they can
unconditionally set the format early and be done with it; the
QEMU driver, however, supports multiple formats and so in that
case we want this default to be applied as late as possible,
when we have already ruled out the possibility of using qcow2
formatted firmware images.

ccbb987707 qemu: Generate NVRAM path in more cases
Right now, we only generate it after finding a matching entry
either among firmware descriptors or in the legacy firmware
list.

Even if the domain is configured to use a custom firmware build
that we know nothing about, however, we should still automatically
generate the NVRAM path instead of requiring the user to provide
it manually.

a97c56888c tests: Update firmware descriptor files
These are imported from Fedora 38's edk2 package.

The files that are being replaced date back to RHEL 7 and no
longer represent what libvirt is likely to encounter on an
actual production system.

Notably, the paths have all changed, with both x86_64 and
aarch64 builds now living under /usr/share/edk2 and the AAVMF
name being having been phased out.

Additionally, the 4MB qcow2 format builds have been introduced
on x86_64 and given high priority, effectively making qcow2
the default format across architectures.

The impact of these changes on the test suite is, predictably,
quite severe.

For the cases where paths to firmware files were explicitly
provided as part of the input, they have been adjusted so that
the modern paths are used instead of the legacy ones. Other
than that, input files have been left untouched.

The following expected changes can be seen in output files:

  * where qcow2 firmware was used on x86_64, Secure Boot
    support is now enabled;

  * all ABI_UPDATE test cases for x86_64 now use qcow2
    formatted firmware;

  * test cases where legacy paths were manually provided
    no longer get additional information about the firmware
    added to the output XML.

Some of the changes described above highlight why, in order
to guarantee a stable guest ABI over time and regardless of
changes to the host's configuration, it was necessary to move
firmware selection from VM startup time to VM creation time.

In a few cases, updating the firmware descriptors changes the
behavior in a way that's undesired and uncovers latent bugs
in libvirt:

  * firmware-manual-efi-secboot-legacy-paths ends up with
    Secure Boot disabled, despite the input XML specifically
    requesting it to be enabled;

  * firmware-manual-efi-rw-modern-paths loses the
    loader.readonly=no part of the configuration and starts
    using an NVRAM file;

  * firmware-manual-efi-nvram-template-nonstandard starts
    failing altogether with a fairly obscure error message.

We're going to address all these issues with upcoming changes.

e930f62a02 tests: Add more tests for firmware selection
Most of these are just additional coverage, but a few demonstrate
bugs in libvirt:

  * firmware-manual-efi-nvram-template-nonstandard sees the NVRAM
    template path, which was explicitly provided in the XML,
    being overridden by the firmware selection machinery;

  * firmware-auto-efi-rw* and firmware-manual-efi-rw-legacy-paths
    lose the loader.readonly=no setting and thus behave
    differently than requested;

  * firmware-manual-efi-loader-path-nonstandard fails because an
    NVRAM path doesn't get generated.

We're going to address all these issues with upcoming changes.

Note that the firmware-auto-efi-nvram-template-nonstandard
failure is expected: firmware autoselection has been enabled, but
the NVRAM template points to a custom path that's not mentioned
in any of the firmware descriptors and so it can't succeed.

8abc979bb0 qemu: Move channelTargetDir into stateDir
For historical reasons (i.e. unknown reason) we put channel
sockets into a path derived from cfg->libDir which is a path that
survives host reboots (e.g. /var/lib/libvirt/...). This is not
necessary and in fact for session daemon creates a longer prefix:

  XDG_CONFIG_HOME -> /home/user/.config
  XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -> /run/user/1000

Worse, if host is rebooted suddenly (e.g. due to power loss) then
we leave files behind and nobody will ever remove them.

Therefore, place the channel target dir into state dir.

d3759d3674 qemu: Generate shorter channel target paths
A <channel/> device is basically an UNIX socket into guest.
Whatever is sent from the host, appears in the guest and vice
versa. But because of that, the length of the path to the socket
is important (underscored by fact that we derive the path from
domain short name). But there are still cases where we might not
fit into UNIX_PATH_MAX limit (usually 108 characters), because
the path is derived also from other variables, e.g.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME for session domains.

There are two components though, that are needless: "/target/"
and "domain-" prefix. Drop them. This is safe to do, because
running domains have their path saved in status XML and even
though paths are dropped on migration, they are not part of guest
ABI and thus we are free to change them.

When this option is enabled (default=false), then it will no longer
unreference clusters when guest does a discard, but it will just free
the blocks (useful for incremental backups for example) and pass the
discard to the lower layer.

This was implemented to avoid fragmentation within the qcow2 image.

are available on the system and have higher priority.

New domains will keep picking whatever firmware is considered
the preferred one according to the order of descriptors, as
evidenced by the fact that the recently introduced
firmware-auto-efi-abi-update-aarch64 test case is unaffected.

6bafa74d62 tests: Add firmware-auto-efi-abi-update-aarch64 test case
The input is identical to that of the existing
firmware-auto-efi-aarch64 test, but in this case we want to
cover the scenario in which that input is used to define a new
domain rather than loading the definition of an existing domain
from disk.

24ad99d76d qemu: Automatically add firmware type/features information
Even when the user is not taking advantage of firmware
autoselection and instead manually providing all the necessary
information, in most cases they're still going to use firmware
builds that are provided by the OS vendor, are installed in
standard paths and come with a corresponding firmware
descriptor.

Similarly, even when the user is not guiding the autoselection
process by specifying the desired status of certain features
and instead is relying on the system-level descriptor priority
being set up correctly, libvirt will still ultimately decide to
use a specific descriptor, which includes information about the
firmware's features.

In both these cases, take the additional information that were
obtained from the firmware descriptor and reflect them back into
the domain XML, where they can be conveniently inspected by the
user and management applications alike.

50d68c1d10 qemu: Don't drop firmware type/features information
Now that we no longer reject configurations that include both
this information and explicit firmware details, as long of
course as everything is internally consistent, and that we've
ensured that we produce maximally compatible XML on migration,
we can stop stripping this information at the end of the
firmware selection process.

There are several advantages to keeping this information around:

  * if the user wants to change the firmware configuration for
    an existing VM, they can simply drop the <loader> and
    <nvram> elements, tweak the firmware autoselection parameters
    and let libvirt pick a firmware that matches on the new
    requirements;

  * management applications can inspect the XML and easily
    figure out firmware-related information without having to
    reverse-engineer them based on some opaque paths.

Overall, this change makes things more transparent and easier to
understand. The improvement is so significant that, in a
follow-up commit, we're going to ensure that this information is
available in even more cases.

ccf4aa37a0 conf: Remove some firmware validation checks
libvirt 8.6.0 introduced these checks and very clearly delineated
two possible firmware selection scenarios: manual firmware
selection, where the user is responsible for providing all
information, and firmware autoselection, where a list of desired
features is provided and everything else is handled by libvirt.

In the interest of maintaining the clear separation between these
two scenarios, setting most attributes when firmware autoselection
is active will result in the configuration being rejected.

This works fine, but is unnecessarily restrictive: in most cases,
the additional information that the user has provided matches
the information that libvirt would have discovered on its own by
looking at firmware descriptors, and asking the user to scrub it
from the XML only result in pointless friction.

Remove these checks entirely.

Unsurprisingly, this results in a few test cases that were
rejected until now to suddenly start working and producing
sensible results.

The firmware-auto-efi-loader-path-nonstandard test case is
notable: while we can now enable the xml2xml part of the test,
the xml2argv part is still failing, although in a slightly
different way. This is expected: since the firmware binary is a
non-standard one, libvirt is unable to figure out the missing
information from a firmware descriptor, and the configuration
is still ultimately an invalid one. However, if we were to find
such a configuration on disk at daemon startup, we would not
ignore it completely and instead would offer the user a chance
to fix it.

3030010fa9 tests: Fix firmware descriptor masking test
Right now we're checking that firmware descriptor masking works
as intended by creating an empty file matching 60-ovmf-sb.json
in name.

However, that firmware descriptors contains the details for a
perfectly valid and quite common situation: Secure Boot being
supported by the firmware build, but being effectively disabled
by the lack of certificates in the NVRAM template.

Unmask that firmware descriptor, and instead create a dummy one
that has higher priority than all other OVMF builds and points
to paths that are obviously incorrect, which should make it
easy to notice it getting accidentally unmasked in the future.
