When starting a domain with custom guest CPU specification QEMU may add
or remove some CPU features. There are several reasons for this, e.g.,
QEMU/KVM does not support some requested features or the definition of
the requested CPU model in libvirt's cpu_map.xml differs from the one
QEMU is using. We can't really avoid this because CPU models are allowed
to change with machine types and libvirt doesn't know (and probably
doesn't even want to know) about such changes.
Thus when we want to make sure guest ABI doesn't change when a domain
gets migrated to another host, we need to update our live CPU definition
according to the CPU QEMU created. Once updated, we will change CPU
checking to VIR_CPU_CHECK_FULL to make sure the virtual CPU created
after migration exactly matches the one on the source.

The disk tuning group parameter is ignored by qemu if no other
throttling options are set. Reject such configuration, since the name
would not be honored after setting parameters via the live tuning API.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1433180
When checking capabilities for qemu we need to check whether subsets of
the disk throttling settings are supported. Extract the checks into a
separate functions as they will be reused in next patch.
While the code path that queries the monitor allocates a separate copy
of the 'group_name' string the path querying the config would not copy
it. The call to virTypedParameterAssign would then steal the pointer
(without clearing it) and the RPC layer freed it. Any subsequent call
resulted into a crash.

ioh3420 is emulated Intel hardware, so it always looked
quite out of place in aarch64/virt guests. Even for x86/q35
guests, the recently-introduced pcie-root-port is a better
choice because, unlike ioh3420, it doesn't require IO space
(a fairly constrained resource) to work.
If pcie-root-port is available in QEMU, use it; ioh3420 is
still used as fallback for when pcie-root-port is not
available.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1408808
QEMU 2.9 introduces the pcie-root-port device, which is
a generic version of the existing ioh3420 device.
Make the new device available to libvirt users.
If the SASL config does not have any mechanisms we currently
just report an empty list to the client which will then
fail to identify a usable mechanism. This is a server config
error, so we should fail immediately on the server side.

Linux still defaults to a 1024 open file handle limit. This causes
scalability problems for libvirtd / virtlockd / virtlogd on large
hosts which might want > 1024 guest to be running. In fact if each
guest needs > 1 FD, we can't even get to 500 guests. This is not
good enough when we see machines with 100's of physical cores and
TBs of RAM.
In comparison to other memory requirements of libvirtd & related
daemons, the resource usage associated with open file handles
is essentially line noise. It is thus reasonable to increase the
limits unconditionally for all installs.

There were couple of reports on the list (e.g. [1]) that guests
with huge amounts of RAM are unable to start because libvirt
kills qemu in the initialization phase. The problem is that if
guest is configured to use hugepages kernel has to zero them all
out before handing over to qemu process. For instance, 402GiB
worth of 1GiB pages took around 105 seconds (~3.8GiB/s). Since we
do not want to make the timeout for connecting to monitor
configurable, we have to teach libvirt to count with this
fact. This commit implements "1s per each 1GiB of RAM" approach
as suggested here [2].

While connecting to qemu monitor, the first thing we do is wait
for it to show up. However, we are doing it with some timeout to
avoid indefinite waits (e.g. when qemu doesn't create the monitor
socket at all). After beaa447a29 we are using exponential back
off timeout meaning, after the first connection attempt we wait
1ms, then 2ms, then 4 and so on. This allows us to bring down
wait time for small domains where qemu initializes quickly.
However, on the other end of this scale are some domains with
huge amounts of guest memory. Now imagine that we've gotten up to
wait time of 15 seconds. The next one is going to be 30 seconds,
and the one after that whole minute. Well, okay - with current
code we are not going to wait longer than 30 seconds in total,
but this is going to change in the next commit.
The exponential back off is usable only for first few iterations.
Then it needs to be caped (one second was chosen as the limit)
and switch to constant wait time.

Fix a "bug" in the storage pool test driver code which "assumed"
testStoragePoolObjSetDefaults should fill in the configFile for
both the Define/Create (persistent) and CreateXML (transient) pools
by just VIR_FREE()'ing it during CreateXML. Because the configFile
was filled in, during Destroy the pool wouldn't be free'd which
could cause issues for future patches which add tests to validate
vHBA creation for the storage pool using the same name.
Commit id 'bb74a7ffe' added a fairly non specific message when providing
only the <parent wwnn='xxx'/> or <parent wwpn='xxx'/> instead of providing
both wwnn and wwpn. This patch just modifies the message to be more specific
about which was missing.
Rather than returning true/false and having the caller check if the
vHBA was actually created, let's do that check within the CreateVport
function. That way the caller can faithfully assume success based
on a name start the thread looking for the LUNs. Prior to this change
it's possible that the vHBA wasn't really created (e.g if the call to
virVHBAGetHostByWWN returned NULL), we'd claim success, but in reality
there'd be no vHBA for the pool. This also fixes a second yet seen
issue that if the nodedev was present, but the parent by name wasn't
provided (perhaps parent by wwnn/wwpn or by fabric_name), then a failure
would be returned. For this path it shouldn't be an error - we should
just be happy that something else is managing the device and we don't
have to create/delete it.
The end result is that the createVport code can now just start the
refresh thread once it gets a non NULL name back.

Now that we have APIs for relabel memdevs on hotplug, fill in the
missing implementation in qemu hotplug code.
The qemuSecurity wrappers might look like overkill for now,
because qemu namespace code does not deal with the nvdimms yet.
Nor does our cgroup code. But hey, there's cgroup_device_acl
variable in qemu.conf. If users add their /dev/pmem* device in
there, the device is allowed in cgroups and created in the
namespace so they can successfully passthrough it to the domain.
It doesn't look like overkill after all, does it?
