This patch adds an inline python code for reading MSR features. Since
reading MSRs is a privileged operation, we have to read them from
/dev/cpu/*/msr if it is readable (i.e., the script runs as root) or
fallback to using KVM ioctl which can be done by any user that can start
virtual machines.
The python code is inlined rather than provided in a separate script
because whenever there's an issue with proper detection of CPU features,
we ask the reporter to run cpu-gather.sh script to give us all data we
need to know about the host CPU. Asking them to run several scripts
would likely result in one of them being ignored or forgotten.

Not testing the new work flow caused some bugs to be hidden. This patch

following commits and the artificial modifications will be reverted.
The following is the list of bugs in the new CPU model work flow:

DO_TEST_UPDATE("x86", "host", "pentium3", VIR_CPU_COMPARE_IDENTICAL)
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host-better", "pentium3", NULL, 0)
- when a guest CPU with mode='custom' needs to be translated into
another model because the original model is not supported by a
hypervisor, the result will have its vendor set to the vendor of the
original CPU model as specified in cpu_map.xml even if the original
guest CPU XML didn't contain <vendor/>:
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host", "guest", model486, 0)

So far we only test CPUID -> CPU def conversion on artificial CPUID data
computed from another CPU def. This patch adds the infrastructure to
test this conversion on real data gathered from a host CPU and two
helper scripts for adding new test data:
- cpu-gather.sh runs cpuid tool and qemu-system-x86_64 to get CPUID data
from the host CPU; this is what users can be asked to run if they run
into an issue with host CPU detection in libvirt
- cpu-parse.sh takes the data generated by cpu-gather.sh and creates
data files for CPU detection tests
The CPUID data queried from QEMU will eventually switch to the format
used by query-host-cpu QMP command once QEMU implements it. Until then
we just spawn QEMU with -cpu host and query the guest CPU in QOM. They
should both provide the same CPUID results, but query-host-cpu does not
require any guest CPU to be created by QEMU.

Limitations of the POWER architecture mean that you can't run
eg. a POWER7 guest on a POWER8 host when using KVM. This applies
to all guests, not just those using VIR_CPU_MATCH_STRICT in the
CPU definition; in fact, exact and strict CPU matching are
basically the same on ppc64.
This means, of course, that hosts using different CPUs have to be
considered incompatible as well.
Change ppc64Compute(), called by cpuGuestData(), to reflect this
fact and update test cases accordingly.

When all source CPU XMLs contain just a single CPU model (with a
possibly varying set of additional feature elements),
virConnectBaselineCPU will try to use this CPU model in the computed
guest CPU. Thus, when used on just a single CPU (useful with
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES), the result will not use a
different CPU model.
If the computed CPU uses the source model, set fallback mode to 'forbid'
to make sure the guest CPU will always be as close as possible to the
source CPUs.
Currently the virConnectBaselineCPU API does not expose the CPU features
that are part of the CPU's model. This patch adds a new flag,
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES, that causes the API to explicitly
list all features that are part of that model.

Until now CPU features inherited from a specified CPU model could only
be overridden with 'disable' policy. With this patch, any explicitly
specified feature always overrides the same feature inherited from a CPU
model regardless on the specified policy.
The CPU in x86-exact-force-Haswell.xml would previously be incompatible
with x86-host-SandyBridge.xml CPU even though x86-host-SandyBridge.xml
provides all features required by x86-exact-force-Haswell.xml.
We found few more AMD-specific features in cpu64-rhel* models that
made it impossible to start qemu guest on Intel host (with this
setting) even though qemu itself starts correctly with them.
This impacts one test, thus the fix in tests/cputestdata/.
Recently (or not so recently) QEMU added the kvm32 and kvm64
architectures, representing a least common denominator of all
hosts that can run KVM. Add them to the machine map.
Also, some features that TCG supports were added to qemu64.
Add them to the cpu_map.xml whenever KVM is guaranteed to support
those. We still have to leave some out, because they would not
be available to guests running on older hosts.

VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag for virDomainGetXMLDesc may be used to
get updated custom mode guest CPU definition in case it depends on host
CPU. This patch implements the same behavior for host-model and
host-passthrough CPU modes.
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
