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.

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.

"vxhs_tls" and "vxhs_tls_x509_cert_dir".

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.

However, after this changes, augtool cannot identify qemu.conf anymore.
Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even

means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests

This patch introduces two new security label types
- default: the host configuration decides whether to run the
guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
- none: the guest will run unconfined by security policy
The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement
