d146105f1e virCommand: Actually acquire pidfile instead of just writing it
Our virCommand module allows us to set a pidfile for commands we
want to spawn. The caller constructs the string of pidfile path
and then uses virCommandSetPidFile() to tell the module to write
the pidfile once the command is ran. This usually works, but has
two flaws:

1) the child process does not hold the pidfile open & locked.
Therefore, the caller (or anybody else) can't use our fancy
virPidFileForceCleanupPath() function to kill the command
afterwards. Also, for everybody else on the system it's
needlessly harder to check if the pid from the pidfile is still
alive or not.

2) if the caller ever makes a mistake and passes the same pidfile
path for two different commands, the start of the second command
will overwrite the pidfile even though the first command might
still be running.

NOTE that this temporarily renders some command spawning
unusable, specifically those code patterns where both
virCommandSetPidFile() is used together with instructing spawned
command to acquire pidfile itself. Fortunately, there is only one
occurrence of such pattern and it is in
qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon(). This is fixed in next commit.

08ed673901 conf: Introduce optional 'uuid' element for NVDIMM memory
ppc64 NVDIMM support was implemented in QEMU by commit [1].
The support is similar to what x86 already does, aside from
an extra 'uuid' element.

This patch introduces a new optional 'uuid' element for the
NVDIMM memory model. This element behaves like the 'uuid'
element of the domain definition - if absent, we'll create
a new one, otherwise use the one provided by the XML.
The 'uuid' element is exclusive to pseries guests and are
unavailable for other architectures.

Next patch will use this new element to add NVDIMM support
for ppc64.

c4a78d00f8 docs: Improve documentation for <serial> and <console>
Users expect to be able to configure the <console> element and see
that configuration reflected into the <serial> element or at least
sticking, however due to our crazy back-compat code that doesn't
always happen.

There's really not much we can do to make this kind of corner cases
work as the user would expect, especially not without introducing
additional complexity in a part of libvirt that already has more
than a fair share of it; we can, however, improve the documentation
so that it will nudge said users in the right direction.

41345f6201 virsh: Allow extracting 'return' section of QMP command in 'qemu-monitor-command'
Simplify gathering the actual return value from a passed-through QMP
command when using 'qemu-monitor-command' by adding '--return-value'
switch which just extracts the 'return' section and alternatively
reports an error if the section is not present.

This simplifies gathering of some test data where the full reply would
need to be trimmed just for the actual return value.

with the pending meson rewrite it isn't worth worrying

fb0509d06a conf: parse/format <teaming> subelement of <interface>
The subelement <teaming> of <interface> devices is used to configure a
simple teaming association between two interfaces in a domain. Example:

  <interface type='bridge'>
    <source bridge='br0'/>
    <model type='virtio'/>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <alias name='ua-backup0'/>
    <teaming type='persistent'/>
  </interface>
  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <address type='pci' bus='0x02' slot='0x10' function='0x4'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <teaming type='transient' persistent='ua-backup0'/>
  </interface>

The interface with <teaming type='persistent'/> is assumed to always
be present, while the interface with type='transient' may be be
unplugged and later re-plugged; the persistent='blah' attribute (and
in the one currently available implementation, also the matching MAC
addresses) is what associates the two devices with each other. It is
up to the hypervisor and the guest network drivers to determine what
to do with this information.

201156ec6e docs: add pages to support Go module package resolution
Currently the libvirt Go modules are accessed by applications using
their github repository URLs. This is undesirable as we don't want
applications to have a direct dependancy on a specific source repo
location. We want to enable applications to use the Go packages via
the libvirt.org namespace.

When you do "go get libvirt.org/libvirt-go", the Go client will do an
HTTPS request to that URL, and parse the HTML content to look for a
<meta> tag which tells it where to the find the GIT repository.

   https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths

This adds two pages to support this Go module resolution. They are
not linked from anywhere as we don't expect users to actually look
at them. If someone does happen upon them, there's some boilerplate
text to send them off to godoc.org for API documentation.

Since the pages we're adding have a .html extension, we will also
use a small apache config tweak on the server

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go$ /libvirt-go.html [L]
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go-xml$ /libvirt-go-xml.html [L]

d600667278 qemu: introduce a new "virt-qemu-run" program
The previous "QEMU shim" proof of concept was taking an approach of only
caring about initial spawning of the QEMU process. It was then
registered with the libvirtd daemon who took over management of it. The
intent was that later libvirtd would be refactored so that the shim
retained control over the QEMU monitor and libvirt just forwarded APIs
to each shim as needed. This forwarding of APIs would require quite alot
of significant refactoring of libvirtd to achieve.

This impl thus takes a quite different approach, explicitly deciding to
keep the VMs completely separate from those seen & managed by libvirtd.
Instead it uses the new "qemu:///embed" URI scheme to embed the entire
QEMU driver in the shim, running with a custom root directory.

Once the driver is initialization, the shim starts a VM and then waits
to shutdown automatically when QEMU shuts down, or should kill QEMU if
it is terminated itself. This ought to use the AUTO_DESTROY feature but
that is not yet available in embedded mode, so we rely on installing a
few signal handlers to gracefully kill QEMU. This isn't reliable if
we crash of course, but you can restart with the same root dir.

Note this program does not expose any way to manage the QEMU process,
since there's no RPC interface enabled. It merely starts the VM and
cleans up when the guest shuts down at the end. This program is
installed to /usr/bin/virt-qemu-run enabling direct use by end users.
Most use cases will probably want to integrate the concept directly
into their respective application codebases. This standalone binary
serves as a nice demo though, and also provides a way to measure
performance of the startup process quite simply.

This enables support for running QEMU embedded to the calling
application process using a URI:

Note that it is important to keep the path reasonably short to
avoid risk of hitting the limit on UNIX socket path names

When using the embedded mode with a root=/var/tmp/embed, the
driver will use the following paths:

                logDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/swtpm
         configBaseDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/qemu

         swtpmStateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/tmp/embed/cache/qemu
                libDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/qemu
       swtpmStorageDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/pki/qemu

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged
or unprivileged.

This compares with the system instance which uses

                logDir: /var/log/libvirt/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu
         configBaseDir: /etc/libvirt/qemu
              stateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu
         swtpmStateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/cache/libvirt/qemu

       swtpmStorageDir: /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /etc/pki/qemu

At this time all features present in the QEMU driver are available when
running in embedded mode, availability matching whether the embedded
driver is privileged or unprivileged.

7b79ee2f78 hostcpu: add support for reporting die_id in NUMA topology
Update the host CPU code to report the die_id in the NUMA topology
capabilities. On systems with multiple dies, this fixes the bug
where CPU cores can't be distinguished:

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

Notice how core_id is repeated within the scope of the same socket_id.

It now reports

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

So core_id is now unique within a (socket_id, die_id) pair.

96999404cb Introducing new address type='unassigned' for PCI hostdevs
This patch introduces a new PCI hostdev address type called
'unassigned'. This new type gives users the option to add
PCI hostdevs to the domain XML in an 'unassigned' state, meaning
that the device exists in the domain, is managed by Libvirt
like any regular PCI hostdev, but the guest does not have
access to it.

This adds extra options for managing PCI device binding
inside Libvirt, for example, making all the managed PCI hostdevs
declared in the domain XML to be detached from the host and bind
to the chosen driver and, at the same time, allowing just a
subset of these devices to be usable by the guest.

Next patch will use this new address type in the QEMU driver to
avoid adding unassigned devices to the QEMU launch command line.

e1b022890e schemas: Introduce disk type NVMe
There is this class of PCI devices that act like disks: NVMe.
Therefore, they are both PCI devices and disks. While we already
have <hostdev/> (and can assign a NVMe device to a domain
successfully) we don't have disk representation. There are three
problems with PCI assignment in case of a NVMe device:

1) domains with <hostdev/> can't be migrated

2) NVMe device is assigned whole, there's no way to assign only a
   namespace

3) Because hypervisors see <hostdev/> they don't put block layer
   on top of it - users don't get all the fancy features like
   snapshots

NVMe namespaces are way of splitting one continuous NVDIMM memory
into smaller ones, effectively creating smaller NVMe-s (which can
then be partitioned, LVMed, etc.)

Because of all of this the following XML was chosen to model a
NVMe device:

  <disk type='nvme' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source type='pci' managed='yes' namespace='1'>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </source>
    <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>

Originally, inside <cputune/cachetune>, it requires the <cache> element to
be in the position before <monitor>, and following configuration is not
permitted by schema, but it is better to let it be valid.

  <cputune>
    <cachetune vcpus='0-1'>
      <monitor level='3' vcpus='0-1'/>
            ^
            |__ Not permitted originally because it is in the place

      <cache id='1' level='3' type='both' size='3' unit='MiB'/>
    </cachetune>
    ...

And, let schema do more strict check by identifying following configuration to
be invalid, due to <cachetune> should contain at least one <cache> or <monitor>
element.

1902356231 qemu: keep capabilities when running QEMU as root
When QEMU uid/gid is set to non-root this is pointless as if we just
used a regular setuid/setgid call, the process will have all its
capabilities cleared anyway by the kernel.

When QEMU uid/gid is set to root, this is almost (always?) never
what people actually want. People make QEMU run as root in order
to access some privileged resource that libvirt doesn't support
yet and this often requires capabilities. As a result they have
to go find the qemu.conf param to turn this off. This is not
viable for libguestfs - they want to control everything via the
XML security label to request running as root regardless of the
qemu.conf settings for user/group.

Clearing capabilities was implemented originally because there
was a proposal in Fedora to change permissions such that root,
with no capabilities would not be able to compromise the system.
ie a locked down root account. This never went anywhere though,
and as a result clearing capabilities when running as root does
not really get us any security benefit AFAICT. The root user
can easily do something like create a cronjob, which will then
faithfully be run with full capabilities, trivially bypassing
the restriction we place.

IOW, our clearing of capabilities is both useless from a security
POV, and breaks valid use cases when people need to run as root.

This removes the clear_emulator_capabilities configuration
option from qemu.conf, and always runs QEMU with capabilities
when root.  The behaviour when non-root is unchanged.

40780d1a4c docs: introduce rst2man as a mandatory tool for building docs
The rst2man tool is provided by python docutils, and as the name
suggests, it converts RST documents into man pages.

The intention is that our current POD docs will be converted to
RST format, allowing one more use of Perl to be eliminated from
libvirt.

The manual pages will now all be kept in the docs/manpages/ directory,
which enables us to include the man pages in the published website.
This is good for people searching for libvirt man pages online as it
makes it more likely google will send them to the libvirt.org instead
of some random third party man page site with outdated content.

252958ee16 backup: Document new XML for backups
Prepare for new backup APIs by describing the XML that will represent
a backup.  The XML resembles snapshots and checkpoints in being able
to select actions for a set of disks, but has other differences.  It
can support both push model (the hypervisor does the backup directly
into the destination file) and pull model (the hypervisor exposes an
access port for a third party to grab what is necessary).  Add
testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML.

The <disk> element within <domainbackup> tries to model the same
elements as a <disk> under <domain>, but sharing the RNG grammar
proved to be hairy. That is in part because while <domain> use
<source> to describe a host resource in use by the guest, a backup job
is using a host resource that is not visible to the guest: a push
backup action is instead describing a <target> (which ultimately could
be a remote network resource, but for simplicity the RNG just
validates a local file for now), and a pull backup action is instead
describing a temporary local file <scratch> (which probably should not
be a remote resource).  A future refactoring may thus introduce some
way to parameterize RNG to accept <disk type='FOO'>...</disk> so that
the name of the subelement can be <source> for domain, or <target> or
<scratch> as needed for backups. Future patches may improve this area
of code.

6430c00552 conf: pass in default architecture via domain XML options
When parsing the guest XML we must fill in the default guest arch if it
is not already present because later parts of the parsing process need
this information.

If no arch is specified we lookup the first guest in the capabilities
data matching the os type and virt type. In most cases this will result
in picking the host architecture but there are some exceptions...

 - The test driver is hardcoded to always use i686 arch
 - The VMWare/ESX drivers will always place i686 guests ahead
   of x86_64 guests in capabilities, so effectively they always
   use i686
 - The QEMU driver can potentially return any arch at all
   depending on what combination of QEMU binaries are installed.

The domain XML hardware configurations are inherently architecture
specific in many places. As a result whomever/whatever created the
domain XML will have had a particular architecture in mind when
specifying the config. In pretty much any sensible case this arch
will have been the native host architecture. i686 on x86_64 is
the only sensible divergance because both these archs are
compatible from a domaain XML config POV.

IOW, although the QEMU driver can pick an almost arbitrary arch as its
default, in the real world no application or user is likely to be
relying on this default arch being anything other than native.

With all this in mind, it is reasonable to change the XML parser to
allow the default architecture to be passed via the domain XML options
struct. If no info is explicitly given then it is safe & sane to pick
the host native architecture as the default for the guest.

^
make[4]: *** [Makefile:2407: html/index-qemu.html] Error 1

The easiest solution is to move the xmllint rules to the 'make check'
phase of the build.

4b95738c8f qemu: add 'ramfb' attribute for mediated devices
The 'ramfb' attribute provides a framebuffer to the guest that can be

For example, the following configuration can be used to provide a vgpu
with a boot display:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='mdev' model='vfio-pci' display='on' ramfb='on'>
        <source>

9b80e0c12a util: drop support for stack traces with logging
The log filters have supported the use of a "+" before the source match
string to request that a stack trace be emitted for every log message:

  commit 548563956e
  Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
  Date:   Wed May 9 15:18:56 2012 +0100

    Allow stack traces to be included with log messages

    Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
    This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
    can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.

With the huge & ever increasing number of logging statements per file,
this will be incredibly verbose and have a major performance penalty.
This makes the feature impractical to use widely and as such it is not
worth the code maint cost.

Removing this seldom used feature allows us to drop the 'execinfo'
module in gnulib which provides the backtrace() function which doesn't
exist on non-Linux.

Users who want to get stack traces of parts of libvirt can use GDB,
or systemtap for live tracing with minimal perf impact.

called 'resolution' and it was added inside 'model' element. They are set
as optional. This element does not follow QEMU properties 'xres' and
'yres' format. Both HTML documentation and schema were changed too. This
commit includes a simple test case to cover resolution for QEMU video
models. The new XML format for resolution looks like:

    <model ...>
      <resolution x='800' y='600'/>
    </model>
