1ebd52cb87 Fix logic for assigning PCI addresses to USB2 companion controllers
Currently each USB2 companion controller gets put on a separate
PCI slot. Not only is this wasteful of PCI slots, but it is not
in compliance with the spec for USB2 controllers. The master
echi1 and all companion controllers should be in the same slot,
with echi1 in function 7, and uhci1-3 in functions 0-2 respectively.

* src/qemu/qemu_command.c: Special case handling of USB2 controllers
  to apply correct pci slot assignment

2c195fdbf3 Fix virDomainDeviceInfoIsSet() to check all struct fields
The virDomainDeviceInfoIsSet API was only checking if an
address or alias was set in the struct. Thus if only a
rom bar setting / filename, boot index, or USB master

548563956e 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'.

This results in output like:

10d9038b74 nodeinfo: Get the correct CPU number on AMD Magny Cours platform
"Instead of developing one CPU with 12 cores, the Magny Cours is
actually two 6 core “Bulldozer” CPUs combined in to one package"

I.e, each package has two NUMA nodes, and the two numa nodes share
the same core ID set (0-6), which means parsing the cores number
from sysfs doesn't work in this case.

And the wrong CPU number could cause three problems for libvirt:

1) performance lost

  A domain without "cpuset" or "placement='auto'" (to drive numad)
specified will be only pinned to part of the CPUs.

2) domain can be started

  If a domain uses numad, and the advisory nodeset returned from
numad contains node which exceeds the range of wrong total CPU
number. The domain will fail to start, as the bitmask passed to
sched_setaffinity could be fully filled with zero.

3) wrong CPU number affects lots of stuffs.

  E.g. for command "virsh vcpuinfo", "virsh vcpupin", it will always
output with the truncated CPU list.

For more details:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-May/msg00607.html

This patch is to fix the problem by parsing /proc/cpuinfo to get
the value of field "cpu cores", and use it as nodeinfo->cores if
it's greater than the cores number from sysfs.

node 3 cpus: 3 7 11 15 19 23 27 31
node 3 size: 131072 MB
node 3 free: 127226 MB
node distances:
node   0   1   2   3

  2:  20  20  10  20
  3:  20  20  20  10

This patch is to fix the problem by using the CPU index in
caps->host.numaCell[i]->cpus[i] to set the bitmask instead of
assuming the CPU index of the NUMA nodes are always sequential.

2b366b46dc nodeinfo: avoid probing host filesystem during test
We had previously weakened our nodeinfotest in order to ignore parsed
node values, because the parse function was mistakenly relying on
host files.  A better fix is to avoid using the numactl library, but
to instead parse the same files that numactl would read, all while
allowing the files to be relative to our choice of directory.

(SYSFS_SYSTEM_PATH): ...parent directory.

88f12a3665 nodeinfo: drop static variable
We were wasting time to malloc a copy of a constant string, then
copy it into static storage, for every call to nodeGetInfo.  At
least we were lucky that it was a constant source, and thus not
subject to even worse issues with one thread clobbering the static
storage while another was using it.  This gets rid of the waste,
by passing the string through the stack instead, as well as renaming
internal functions to better match our conventions.

* src/nodeinfo.c (sysfs_path): Delete.
(get_cpu_value, count_thread_siblings, parse_socket): Add

32a9aac2e0 Use XDG Base Directories instead of storing in home directory
As defined in:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

This offers a number of advantages:
 * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
 * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
 * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
 * Supports reseting settings without breaking things
 * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
 * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
 * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
 * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators

3b9a12958d esx: Fix memory leaks in error paths related to transferred ownership
Appending an item to a list transfers ownership of that item to the
list owner. But an error can occur in between item allocation and
appending it to the list. In this case the item has to be freed
explicitly. This was not done in some special cases resulting in
possible memory leaks.

c833526924 qemu: Don't skip detection of virtual cpu's on non KVM targets
This patch lifts the limit of calling thread detection code only on KVM
guests. With upstream qemu the thread mappings are reported also on
non-KVM machines.

QEMU adopted the thread_id information from the kvm branch.

To remain compatible with older upstream versions of qemu the check is
attempted but the failure to detect threads (or even run the monitor
command - on older versions without SMP support) is treated non-fatal
and the code reports one vCPU with pid of the hypervisor (in same
fashion this was done on non-KVM guests).

3163682b58 qemu: Re-detect virtual cpu threads after cpu hot (un)plug.
After a cpu hotplug the qemu driver did not refresh information about
virtual processors used by qemu and their corresponding threads. This
patch forces a re-detection as is done on start of QEMU.

This ensures that correct information is reported by the
virDomainGetVcpus API and "virsh vcpuinfo".

A failure to obtain the thread<->vcpu mapping is treated non-fatal and
the mapping is not updated in a case of failure as not all versions of
QEMU report this in the info cpus command.

this matters when setting up a peer-to-peer migration instead of a
native one.

of the source libvirtd (usually root) must be able to connect to

97010eb1f1 numad: Set memory policy from numad advisory nodeset
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.

This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:

  <numatune>
    <memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
  </numatune>

Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.

If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".

The following XML can now fully drive numad:

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
   <numatune>.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave'/>
   </numatune>

And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
   </numatune>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'

   <vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
   </numatume>

A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.

cc0737713a util: set src_pid for virNetlinkCommand when appropriate
Until now, the nl_pid of the source address of every message sent by
virNetlinkCommand has been set to the value of getpid(). Most of the
time this doesn't matter, and in the one case where it does
(communication with lldpad), it previously was the proper thing to do,
because the netlink event service (which listens on a netlink socket
for unsolicited messages from lldpad) coincidentally always happened
to bind with a local nl_pid == getpid().

With the fix for:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465

that particular nl_pid is now effectively a reserved value, so the
netlink event service will always bind to something else
(coincidentally "getpid() + (1 << 22)", but it really could be
anything). The result is that communication between lldpad and
libvirtd is broken (lldpad gets a "disconnected" error when it tries
to send a directed message).

The solution to this problem caused by a solution, is to query the
netlink event service's nlhandle for its "local_port", and send that
as the source nl_pid (but only when sending to lldpad, of course - in
other cases we maintain the old behavior of sending getpid()).

There are two cases where a message is being directed at lldpad - one
in virNetDevLinkDump, and one in virNetDevVPortProfileOpSetLink.

The case of virNetDevVPortProfileOpSetLink is simplest to explain -
only if !nltarget_kernel, i.e. the message isn't targetted for the
kernel, is the dst_pid set (by calling
virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid()), so only in that case do we call
virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() to set src_pid.

For virNetDevLinkDump, it's a bit more complicated. The call to
virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid() was effectively up one level (in
virNetDevVPortProfileOpCommon), although obscured by an unnecessary
passing of a function pointer. This patch removes the function
pointer, and calls virNetDevVPortProfileGetLldpadPid() directly in
virNetDevVPortProfileOpCommon - if it's doing this, it knows that it
should also call virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() to set src_pid too;
then it just passes src_pid and dst_pid down to
virNetDevLinkDump. Since (src_pid == 0 && dst_pid == 0) implies that
the kernel is the destination, there is no longer any need to send
nltarget_kernel as an arg to virNetDevLinkDump, so it's been removed.

The disparity between src_pid being int and dst_pid being uint32_t may
be a bit disconcerting to some, but I didn't want to complicate
virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid() by having status returned separately
from the value.

c99e93758d util: function to get local nl_pid used by netlink event socket
This value will be needed to set the src_pid when sending netlink
messages to lldpad. It is part of the solution to:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465

Note that libnl's port generation algorithm guarantees that the
nl_socket_get_local_port() will always be > 0 (since it is "getpid() +
(n << 22>" where n is always < 1024), so it is okay to cast the
uint32_t to int (thus allowing us to use -1 as an error sentinel).

cca7bb1fb5 util: allow specifying both src and dst pid in virNetlinkCommand
Until now, virNetlinkCommand has assumed that the nl_pid in the source
address of outgoing netlink messages should always be the return value
of getpid(). In most cases it actually doesn't matter, but in the case
of communication with lldpad, lldpad saves this info and later uses it
to send netlink messages back to libvirt. A recent patch to fix Bug
816465 changed the order of the universe such that the netlink event
service socket is no longer bound with nl_pid == getpid(), so lldpad
could no longer send unsolicited messages to libvirtd. Adding src_pid
as an argument to virNetlinkCommand() is the first step in notifying
lldpad of the proper address of the netlink event service socket.

642973135c util: fix libvirtd startup failure due to netlink error
This is part of the solution to the problem detailed in:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465

and further detailed in

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-May/msg00202.htm

A short explanation is included in the comments of the patch itself.

Note that this patch by itself breaks communication between lldpad and
libvirtd, so the other 3 patches in the series must be applied at the
same time as this patch.
