Some VM configurations may result in a large number of threads created by
the associated qemu process which can exceed the system default limit. The
maximum number of threads allowed per process is controlled by the pids
cgroup controller and is set to 16k when creating VMs with systemd's
machined service. The maximum number of threads per process is recorded
in the pids.max file under the machine's pids controller cgroup hierarchy,
e.g.
$cgrp-mnt/pids/machine.slice/machine-qemu\\x2d1\\x2dtest.scope/pids.max
Maximum threads per process is controlled with the TasksMax property of
the systemd scope for the machine. This patch adds an option to qemu.conf
which can be used to override the maximum number of threads allowed per
qemu process. If the value of option is greater than zero, it will be set
in the TasksMax property of the machine's scope after creating the machine.

Since the default for vnc and spice may have existed before without being
supplied, the default check will first check if the service specific path
exists and if so, set the cfg entry to that; otherwise, the default will
be set to the (now) new defaultTLSx509certdir.
Additionally add a "default_tls_x509_verify" entry which can also be used
to force the peer verification option (for vnc it's a x509verify option).

We already have the ability to turn off dumping of guest
RAM via the domain XML. This is not particularly useful
though, as it is under control of the management application.
What is needed is a way for the sysadmin to turn off guest
RAM defaults globally, regardless of whether the mgmt app
provides its own way to set this in the domain XML.
So this adds a 'dump_guest_core' option in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
which defaults to false. ie guest RAM will never be included in
the QEMU core dumps by default. This default is different from
historical practice, but is considered to be more suitable as
a default because
a) guest RAM can be huge and so inflicts a DOS on the host
I/O subsystem when dumping core for QEMU crashes
b) guest RAM can contain alot of sensitive data belonging
to the VM owner. This should not generally be copied
around inside QEMU core dumps submitted to vendors for
debugging
c) guest RAM contents are rarely useful in diagnosing
QEMU crashes

Currently the QEMU processes inherit their core dump rlimit
from libvirtd, which is really suboptimal. This change allows
their limit to be directly controlled from qemu.conf instead.
Currently the QEMU stdout/stderr streams are written directly to
a regular file (eg /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log). While those
can be rotated by logrotate (using copytruncate option) this is
not very efficient. It also leaves open a window of opportunity
for a compromised/broken QEMU to DOS the host filesystem by
writing lots of text to stdout/stderr.
This makes it possible to connect the stdout/stderr file handles
to a pipe that is provided by virtlogd. The virtlogd daemon will
read from this pipe and write data to the log file, performing
file rotation whenever a pre-determined size limit is reached.

When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per
domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be
shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on
the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the
domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS
file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the
master file is configurable in qemu.conf.
Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can
be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the
<nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file
from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in
qemu.conf is not consulted.

For now, we set the migration URI via command line '--migrate_uri' or
construct the URI by looking up the dest host's hostname which could be
solved by DNS automatically.
But in cases the dest host have two or more NICs to reach, we may need to
send the migration data over a specific NIC which is different from the
automatically resolved one for some reason like performance, security, etc.
Thus we must explicitly specify the migrateuri in command line everytime,
but it is too troublesome if there are many such hosts (and don't forget
virt-manager).
This patch adds a configuration file option on dest host to save the
default value set which can be specified to a migration hostname or
one of this host's addresses used for transferring data, thus user doesn't
have to specify it in command line everytime.

On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
Adding a VNC WebSocket support for QEMU driver. This functionality is
in upstream qemu from commit described as v1.3.0-982-g7536ee4, so the
capability is being recognized based on QEMU version for now.
PCIO device assignment using VFIO requires read/write access by the
qemu process to /dev/vfio/vfio, and /dev/vfio/nn, where "nn" is the
VFIO group number that the assigned device belongs to (and can be
found with the function virPCIDeviceGetVFIOGroupDev)
/dev/vfio/vfio can be accessible to any guest without danger
(according to vfio developers), so it is added to the static ACL.
The group device must be dynamically added to the cgroup ACL for each
vfio hostdev in two places:
1) for any devices in the persistent config when the domain is started
(done during qemuSetupCgroup())
2) at device attach time for any hotplug devices (done in
qemuDomainAttachHostDevice)
The group device must be removed from the ACL when a device it
"hot-unplugged" (in qemuDomainDetachHostDevice())
Note that USB devices are already doing their own cgroup setup and
teardown in the hostdev-usb specific function. I chose to make the new
functions generic and call them in a common location though. We can
then move the USB-specific code (which is duplicated in two locations)
to this single location. I'll be posting a followup patch to do that.
