When a QEMU VM shuts down its TAP device gets deleted while nwfilter
IP address learning thread is still capturing packets. It is seen that
with TPACKET_V3 support in libcap, the pcap_next() call will not always
exit its poll() when the NIC is removed. This prevents the learning
thread from exiting which blocks the rest of libvirtd waiting on mutex
acquisition. By switching to do poll() in libvirt code, we can ensure
that we always exit the poll() at a time that is right for libvirt.

we changed a switch in the nwfilter learning thread so that it had
explict cases for all enum entries. Unfortunately the parameters in the
method had been declared with incorrect type. The "howDetect" parameter
does *not* accept "enum howDetect" values, rather it accepts a bitmask
of "enum howDetect" values, so it should have been an "int" type.
The caller always passes DETECT_STATIC|DETECT_DHCP, so essentially the
IP addressing learning was completely broken by the above change, as it
never matched any switch case, hitting the default leading to EINVAL.
Stop using a typedef for the parameter name this this is a bitmask,
not a plain enum value. Also stop using switch() since that's misleading
with bitmasks too.

Add the external swtpm to the emulator cgroup so that upper limits of CPU

To enable this we need to have the swtpm write its process id (pid) into a

The PID file is created in /var/run/libvirt/qemu/swtpm:

This patch adds support for an external swtpm TPM emulator. The XML for
this type of TPM looks as follows:
<tpm model='tpm-tis'>
<backend type='emulator'/>
</tpm>
The XML will currently only start a TPM 1.2.
Upon first start, libvirt will run `swtpm_setup`, which will simulate the
manufacturing of a TPM and create certificates for it and write them into
NVRAM locations of the emulated TPM.
After that libvirt starts the swtpm TPM emulator using the `swtpm` executable.
Once the VM terminates, libvirt uses the swtpm_ioctl executable to gracefully
shut down the `swtpm` in case it is still running (QEMU did not send shutdown)
or clean up the socket file.
The above mentioned executables must be found in the PATH.
The executables can either be run as root or started as root and switch to
the tss user. The requirement for the tss user comes through 'tcsd', which
is used for the simulation of the manufacturing. Which user is used can be
configured through qemu.conf. By default 'tss' is used.
The swtpm writes out state into files. The state is kept in /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm:
[root@localhost libvirt]# ls -lZ | grep swtpm
drwx--x--x. 7 root root unconfined_u:object_r:virt_var_lib_t:s0 4096 Apr 5 16:22 swtpm
The directory /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm maintains per-TPM state directories.
(Using the uuid of the VM for that since the name can change per VM renaming but
we need a stable directory name.)

QEMU guest agent support
there was code that would loop and retry the connection when opening
the agent socket. At this time, the only thing done in between the
opening of the monitor socket & opening of the agent socket was a
call to set the monitor capabilities. This was a no-op on non-QMP
versions, so in theory there could be a race which let us connect
to the monitor while the agent socket was still not created by QEMU.
In the modern world, however, we long ago mandated the use of QMP
for managing QEMU, so we're guaranteed to have a set capabilities
QMP call. Once we've seen a reply to this, we're guaranteed that
QEMU has fully initialized all backends and is in its event loop.
We can thus be sure the QEMU agent socket is present and don't need
to retry connections to it, even without having the chardev FD passing
feature.

Since libvirt called bind() and listen() on the UNIX socket, it is
guaranteed that connect() will immediately succeed, if QEMU is running
normally. It will only fail if QEMU has closed the monitor socket by
mistake or if QEMU has exited, letting the kernel close it.
With this in mind we can remove the retry loop and timeout when
connecting to the QEMU monitor if we are doing FD passing. Libvirt can
go straight to sending the QMP greeting and will simply block waiting
for a reply until QEMU is ready.
