4f24ca01e8 qemu: Allow setting boot menu on/off
Add a new element to the <os> block:

  <bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>

Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.

I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.

d1018b1bde libvirt-guests: Don't throw errors if libvirtd is not installed
When only client parts of libvirt are installed (i.e., no libvirtd
daemon), libvirt-guests init script in its default configuration would
throw seriously looking errors during host shutdown:

Running guests on default URI: error: unable to connect to
'/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No
such file or directory
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

This patch changes the script to print rather harmless message in that
situation:

Running guests on default URI: libvirtd not installed; skipping this
URI.

71e92a1575 Force FLR on for buggy SR-IOV devices.
Some buggy PCI devices actually support FLR, but
forget to advertise that fact in their PCI config space.
However, Virtual Functions on SR-IOV devices are
*required* to support FLR by the spec, so force has_flr
on if this is a virtual function.

46bcdb960d pciResetDevice: use inactive devices to determine safe reset
When doing a PCI secondary bus reset, we must be sure that there are no
active devices on the same bus segment.  The active device tracking is
designed to only track host devices that are active in use by guests.
This ignores host devices that are actively in use by the host.  So the
current logic will reset host devices.

Switch this logic around and allow sbus reset when we are assigning all
devices behind a bridge to the same guest at guest startup or as a result
of a single attach-device command.

* src/util/pci.h: change signature of pciResetDevice to add an
  inactive devices list
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c src/xen/xen_driver.c: use (or not) the new
  functionality of pciResetDevice() depending on the place of use
* src/util/pci.c: implement the interface and logic changes

Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in all
driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using

adde0e2cf6 virt-aa-helper: Fix return value of add_file_path
Commit a885334499 added this
function and wrapped vah_add_file in it. vah_add_file may
return -1, 0, 1. It returns 1 in case the call to valid_path
detects a restricted file. The original code treated a return
value != 0 as error. The refactored code treats a return
value < 0 as error. This triggers segfault in virt-aa-helper

337d201ef2 Qemu remote protocol.
Since we are adding a new "per-hypervisor" protocol, we
make it so that the qemu remote protocol uses a new
PROTOCOL and PROGRAM number.  This allows us to easily
distinguish it from the normal REMOTE protocol.

This necessitates changing the proc in remote_message_header
from a "remote_procedure" to an "unsigned", which should
be the same size (and thus preserve the on-wire protocol).

Changes since v1:
 - Fixed up a couple of script problems in remote_generate_stubs.pl
 - Switch an int flag to a bool in dispatch.c

Changes since v2:
 - None

Changes since v3:
 - Change unsigned proc to signed proc, to conform to spec

057e855324 Qemu arbitrary monitor commands.
Implement the qemu driver's virDomainQemuMonitorCommand
and hook it into the API entry point.

Changes since v1:
 - Rename the (external) qemuMonitorCommand to qemuDomainMonitorCommand
 - Add virCheckFlags to qemuDomainMonitorCommand

Changes since v2:
 - Drop ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED from the flags

Changes since v3:
 - Add a flag to priv so we only print out monitor command warning once.  Note
   that this has not been plumbed into qemuDomainObjPrivateXMLFormat or
   qemuDomainObjPrivateXMLParse, which means that if you run a monitor command,
   restart libvirtd, and then run another monitor command, you may get an
   an erroneous VIR_INFO.  It's a pretty minor matter, and I didn't think it
   warranted the additional code.

entry point.  Because this is not part of the "normal" libvirt API,
it gets its own header file, library file, and will eventually
get its own over-the-wire protocol later in the series.

Changes since v1:
 - Go back to using the virDriver table for qemuDomainMonitorCommand, due to
   linking issues
 - Added versioning information to the libvirt-qemu.so

Changes since v2:
 - None

Changes since v3:

 - Make virLibConnError and virLibDomainError macros instead of function calls

eac63161cc Fix SEGV on exit after domainEventDeregister()
When the last callback is removed using domainEventDeregister(), the
events dispatcher is deregistered from the C-library, but
domainEventsCallbacks is still an empty list.
On shutdown __del__() deregisters the dispatacher again, which SEGVs

	# You need the event-loop implementation from the Python examples;
	# give the file a name which is importable by Python.
	ln examples/domain-events/events-python/event-test.py eloop.py
	python -c 'from eloop import *
	import sys

	def dump(*args): print " ".join(map(str, args))

	virEventLoopPureStart()
	c = libvirt.open("xen:///")
	c.domainEventRegister(dump, None)
	c.domainEventDeregister(dump)
	sys.exit(0)'

domainEventDeregister() needs to delete domainEventCallbacks so subsequent
calls to __del__() and domainEventRegister() choose the right code paths.
Setting it to None is not enough, since calling domainEventRegiser() again
would trigger an TypeError.

f4828ca353 pciSharesBusWithActive fails to find multiple devices on bus
The first conditional is always true which means the iterator will
never find another device on the same bus.

    if (dev->domain != check->domain ||
        dev->bus != check->bus ||
  ----> (check->slot == check->slot &&
         check->function == check->function)) <-----

The goal of that check is to verify that the device is either:

  in a different pci domain
  on a different bus
  is the same identical device

This means libvirt may issue a secondary bus reset when there are
devices
on that bus that actively in use by the host or another guest.

6ea90b843e Set a stable & high MAC addr for guest TAP devices on host
A Linux software bridge will assume the MAC address of the enslaved
interface with the numerically lowest MAC addr. When the bridge
changes MAC address there is a period of network blackout, so a
change should be avoided. The kernel gives TAP devices a completely
random MAC address. Occassionally the random TAP device MAC is lower
than that of the physical interface (eth0, eth1etc) that is enslaved,
causing the bridge to change its MAC.

This change sets an explicit MAC address for all TAP devices created
using the configured MAC from the XML, but with the high byte set
to 0xFE. This should ensure TAP device MACs are higher than any
physical interface MAC.

ae3d31bf4f Remove erroneous setting of return value to errno.
One error exit in virStorageBackendCreateBlockFrom was setting the
return value to errno. The convention for volume build functions is to
return 0 on success or -1 on failure. Not only was it not necessary to
set the return value (it defaults to -1, and is set to 0 when
everything has been successfully completed), in the case that some
caller were checking for < 0 rather than != 0, they would incorrectly
believe that it completed successfully.

ace1a2bac4 Make virStorageBackendCopyToFD return -errno.
Previously virStorageBackendCopyToFD would simply return -1 on
error. This made the error return from one of its callers inconsistent
(createRawFileOpHook is supposed to return -errno, but if
virStorageBackendCopyToFD failed, createRawFileOpHook would just
return -1). Since there is a useful errno in every case of error
return from virStorageBackendCopyToFD, and since the other uses of
that function ignore the return code (beyond simply checking to see if
it is < 0), this is a safe change.

2ad04f7853 Change virFileOperation to return -errno (ie < 0) on error.

failure. This way the check for failure is always (ret < 0).

ccd2c82ee4 Rearrange VGA/IDE controller address reservation
The first VGA and IDE devices need to have fixed PCI address
reservations. Currently this is handled inline with the other
non-primary VGA/IDE devices. The fixed virtio balloon device
at slot 3, ensures auto-assignment skips the slots 1/2. The
virtio address will shortly become configurable though. This
means the reservation of fixed slots needs to be done upfront
to ensure that they don't get re-used for other devices.

This is more or less reverting the previous changeset:

f0c8e1cb37 Fix a deadlock in bi-directional p2p concurrent migration.
If you try to execute two concurrent migrations p2p
from A->B and B->A, the two libvirtd's will deadlock
trying to perform the migrations.  The reason for this is
that in p2p migration, the libvirtd's are responsible for
making the RPC Prepare, Migrate, and Finish calls.  However,
they are currently holding the driver lock while doing so,
which basically guarantees deadlock in this scenario.

This patch fixes the situation by adding
qemuDomainObjEnterRemoteWithDriver and
qemuDomainObjExitRemoteWithDriver helper methods.  The Enter
take an additional object reference, then drops both the
domain object lock and the driver lock.  The Exit takes
both the driver and domain object lock, then drops the
reference.  Adding calls to these Enter and Exit helpers
around remote calls in the various migration methods
seems to fix the problem for me in testing.

This should make the situation safe. The additional domain
object reference ensures that the domain object won't disappear
while this operation is happening.  The BeginJob that is called
inside of qemudDomainMigratePerform ensures that we can't execute a
second migrate (or shutdown, or save, etc) job while the
migration is active.  Finally, the additional check on the state
of the vm after we reacquire the locks ensures that we can't
be surprised by an external event (domain crash, etc).

I ran into some surprising behavior; if a hypervisor does
not support the virDomainSetMaxMemory() API, but the value
specified for setmaxmem is less than the current amount
of memory in the domain, the domain would be ballooned
down *before* an error was reported.

To make this more consistent, run virDomainSetMaxMemory()
before trying to shrink; that way, if an error is thrown,
no changes to the running domain are made.

4af1817d1d Use unsigned long in cmdSetmem.
The virsh command "setmem" takes as input a number that
should represent an unsigned long number of kilobytes.  Fix
cmdSetmem to properly parse this as an unsigned long instead
of an int.

e0f26c46ae fsync new storage volumes even if new volume was copied.
Originally the storage volume files were opened with O_DSYNC to make
sure they were flushed to disk immediately. It turned out that this
was extremely slow in some cases, so the O_DSYNC was removed in favor
of just calling fsync() after all the data had been written. However,
this call to fsync was inside the block that is executed to zero-fill
the end of the volume file. In cases where the new volume is copied
from an old volume, and they are the same length, this fsync would
never take place.

Now the fsync is *always* done, unless there is an error (in which
case it isn't important, and is most likely inappropriate.
