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.

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.

A bunch of cases were only being tested for WHEN_ACTIVE or
WHEN_INACTIVE. Use WHEN_BOTH for all except the very few that
actually require the existing setup.
Failure to parse a XML that was not supposed to fail would result into a
crash in the test suite as the vcpu bitmap would not be filled prior to
the active XML->XML test.
Skip formatting of the vcpu snippet in the fake status XML formatter in
such case to avoid the crash. The test would fail anyways.
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 '9bbf0d7e6' and '2552fec24' added some XML parsing tests
for a LUKS volume to use a 'passphrase' secret format. After commit,
this was deemed to be incorrect, so covert the various tests to use
the volume usage format where the 'usage' is the path to the volume
rather than a user defined name string.
Also, removed the qemuxml2argv-luks-disk-cipher.xml since it was
just a duplicate of qemuxml2argv-luks-disks.xml.

Status XML tests were done by prepending a constant string to an
existing XML. With the planned changes the header will depend on data
present in the definition rather than just on the data that was parsed.
The first dynamic element in the header will be the vcpu thread list.
Reuse and rename qemuXML2XMLPreFormatCallback for gathering the relevant
data when checking the active XML parsing and formating and pass the
bitmap to a newly crated header generator.
This is preferrable to -nographic which (in addition to disabling
graphics output) redirects the serial port to stdio and on OpenBIOS
enables the firmware's serial console.

For type='ethernet' interfaces only.
(This patch had been pushed earlier in
commit 0b4645a7e0, but was reverted in
commit 84d47a3cce because it had been
accidentally pushed during the freeze for release 2.0.0)
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.

This option allows or disallows detection of zero-writes if it is set to

VNC graphics already supports sockets but only via 'socket' attribute.
This patch coverts that attribute into listen type 'socket'.
For backward compatibility we need to handle listen type 'socket' and 'socket'
attribute properly to support old XMLs and new XMLs. If both are provided they
have to match, if only one of them is provided we need to be able to parse that
configuration too.
To not break migration back to old libvirt if the socket is provided by user we
need to generate migratable XML without the listen element and use only 'socket'
attribute.

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.
Add a new element to <domain> XML:
<os>
<acpi>
<table type="slic">/path/to/acpi/table/file</table>
</acpi>
</os>
To supply a path to a SLIC (Software Licensing) ACPI
table blob.

This test requests a read-only virtual FAT drive on the IDE bus.
Read-only IDE drives are unsupported, but libvirt only displays
the error if it has the QEMU_CAPS_DRIVE_READONLY capability.
Read-write FAT drives are also unsupported.
Rather than only assigning a PCI address when no address is given at
all, also do it when the config says that the address type is 'pci',
but it gives no address (virDeviceInfoPCIAddressWanted()).
There are also several places after parsing but prior to address
assignment where code previously expected that any info with address
type='pci' would have a *valid* PCI address, which isn't always the
case - now we check not only for type='pci', but also for a valid
address (virDeviceInfoPCIAddressPresent()).
The test case added in this patch was directly copied from Cole's patch titled:
qemu: Wire up address type=pci auto_allocate
Commit 55320c23 introduced a new test for VNC to test if
vnc_auto_unix_socket is set in qemu.conf, but forget to enable it in
qemuxml2argvtest.c.
This patch also moves the code in qemuxml2xmltest.c next to other VNC
tests and refactor the test so we also check the case for parsing active
XML.

This wires up qemuDomainAssignAddresses into the new
virDomainDefAssignAddressesCallback, so it's always triggered
via virDomainDefPostParse. We are essentially doing this already
with open coded calls sprinkled about.
qemu argv parse output changes slightly since previously it wasn't
hitting qemuDomainAssignAddresses.
The only case where the hardware capabilities influence the result
is when no <gic/> element was provided.
The test programs now ensure both that the correct GIC version is
picked in that case, and that hardware capabilities are not taken
into account when the user has already picked a GIC version.
Now that we choose the GIC version based on hardware features when
no <gic/> element has been provided, we need a way to fake the GIC
capabilities of the host.
Update the qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml tests to allow this.
Add the ability to add an 'iothread' to the controller which will be how
virtio-scsi-pci and virtio-scsi-ccw iothreads have been implemented in qemu.
Describe the new functionality and add tests to parse/validate that the
new attribute can be added.
Similarly to what commit 7140807917 did with some internal paths,
clear vnc socket paths that were generated by us. Having such path in
the definition can cause trouble when restoring the domain. The path is
generated to the per-domain directory that contains the domain ID.
However, that ID will be different upon restoration, so qemu won't be
able to create that socket because the directory will not be prepared.
To be able to migrate to older libvirt, skip formatting the socket path
in migratable XML if it was autogenerated. And mark it as autogenerated
if it already exists and we're parsing live XML.
Best viewed with '-C'.

This controller provides a single PCIe port on a new root. It is
similar to pci-expander-bus, intended to provide a bus that can be
associated with a guest-identifiable NUMA node, but is for
machinetypes with PCIe rather than PCI (e.g. q35-based machinetypes).
Aside from PCIe vs. PCI, the other main difference is that a
pci-expander-bus has a companion pci-bridge that is automatically
attached along with it, but pcie-expander-bus has only a single port,
and that port will only connect to a pcie-root-port, or to a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. In order for the bus to be of any use in
the guest, it must have either a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-upstream-port attached (and one or more
pcie-switch-downstream-ports attached to the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).
This is a standard PCI root bus (not a bridge) that can be added to a
440fx-based domain. Although it uses a PCI slot, this is *not* how it
is connected into the PCI bus hierarchy, but is only used for
control. Each pci-expander-bus provides 32 slots (0-31) that can
accept hotplug of standard PCI devices.
The usefulness of pci-expander-bus relative to a pci-bridge is that
the NUMA node of the bus can be specified with the <node> subelement
of <target>. This gives guest-side visibility to the NUMA node of
attached devices (presuming that management apps only assign a device
to a bus that has a NUMA node number matching the node number of the
device on the host).
Each pci-expander-bus also has a "busNr" attribute. The expander-bus
itself will take the busNr specified, and all buses that are connected
to this bus (including the pci-bridge that is automatically added to
any expander bus of model "pxb" (see the next commit)) will use
busNr+1, busNr+2, etc, and the pci-root (or the expander-bus with next
lower busNr) will use bus numbers lower than busNr.
After removing qemuBuildCommandLineCallbacks, testutilsqemu.h does not
need to include qemu_command.h.
Include just qemu_conf.h here and qemu_domain_address.h in files that
need it.
Commit dc98a5bc refactored the code a lot and forget about checking if
listen attribute is specified. This ensures that listen attribute and
first listen element are compared only if both exist.

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.
