Extend the TPM backend XML with a node 'active_pcr_banks' that allows a

choices for PCR banks are sha1, sha256, sha384 and sha512. When the XML
node is provided, the set of active PCR banks is 'enforced' by running
swtpm_setup before every start of the VM. The activation requires that
swtpm_setup v0.7 or later is installed and may not have any effect

This change introduces a new libvirt sub-element <pci> under
<features> that can be used to configure all pci related features.
Currently the only sub-sub element supported by this sub-element is
'acpi-bridge-hotplug' as shown below:
<features>
<pci>
<acpi-bridge-hotplug state='on|off'/>
</pci>
</features>
The above option is only available for the QEMU driver, for x86 guests
only. It is a global option, affecting all PCI bridge controllers on
the guest.
The 'acpi-bridge-hotplug' option enables or disables ACPI hotplug
support for cold-plugged pci bridges. Examples of bridges include the
PCI-PCI bridge (pci-bridge controller) for pc (i440fx) machinetypes,
or PCIe-PCI bridges and pcie-root-port controllers for q35
machinetypes.
For pc machinetypes in x86, this option has been available in QEMU
since version 2.1. Please see the following changes in qemu repo:
9e047b982452c6 ("piix4: add acpi pci hotplug support")
133a2da488062e ("pc: acpi: generate AML only for PCI0 devices if PCI
bridge hotplug is disabled")
For q35 machinetypes, this was introduced in QEMU 6.1 with the
following changes in qemu repo:
(a) c0e427d6eb5fef ("hw/acpi/ich9: Enable ACPI PCI hot-plug")
(b) 17858a16950860 ("hw/acpi/ich9: Set ACPI PCI hot-plug as default on
Q35")
The reasons for enabling ACPI based hotplug for PCIe (q35) based
machines (as opposed to native hotplug) are outlined in (b). There are
use cases where users would still want to use native
hotplug. Therefore, this config option enables users to choose either
ACPI based hotplug or native hotplug for bridges (for example for pcie
root port controller in q35 machines).
Qemu capability validation checks have also been added along with
related unit tests to exercise the new conf option.

<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
'<target hotplug='on'>' option would enable hotplug for pci-root controller.
This is also the default value. This option is only available for pc machine

The virtio-mem has another property that isn't exposed yet:

The virtio-mem is paravirtualized mechanism of adding/removing
memory to/from a VM. A virtio-mem-pci device is split into blocks
of equal size which are then exposed (all or only a requested
portion of them) to the guest kernel to use as regular memory.
Therefore, the device has two important attributes:
1) block-size, which defines the size of a block
2) requested-size, which defines how much memory (in bytes)
is the device requested to expose to the guest.
The 'block-size' is configured on command line and immutable
throughout device's lifetime. The 'requested-size' can be set on
the command line too, but also is adjustable via monitor. In
fact, that is how management software places its requests to
change the memory allocation. If it wants to give more memory to
the guest it changes 'requested-size' to a bigger value, and if it
wants to shrink guest memory it changes the 'requested-size' to a
smaller value. Note, value of zero means that guest should
release all memory offered by the device. Of course, guest has to
cooperate. Therefore, there is a third attribute 'size' which is
read only and reflects how much memory the guest still has. This
can be different to 'requested-size', obviously. Because of name
clash, I've named it 'current' and it is dealt with in future
commits (it is a runtime information anyway).
In the backend, memory for virtio-mem is backed by usual objects:
memory-backend-{ram,file,memfd} and their size puts the cap on
the amount of memory that a virtio-mem device can offer to a
guest. But we are already able to express this info using <size/>
under <target/>.
Therefore, we need only two more elements to cover 'block-size'
and 'requested-size' attributes. This is the XML I've came up
with:
<memory model='virtio-mem'>
<source>
<nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
<pagesize unit='KiB'>2048</pagesize>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>2097152</size>
<node>0</node>
<block unit='KiB'>2048</block>
<requested unit='KiB'>1048576</requested>
</target>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</memory>
I hope by now it is obvious that:
1) 'requested-size' must be an integer multiple of
'block-size', and
2) virtio-mem-pci device goes onto PCI bus and thus needs PCI
address.
Then there is a limitation that the minimal 'block-size' is
transparent huge page size (I'll leave this without explanation).

When documenting our public API in some places we use '@' to

* to the Epoch of 1970-01-01 00:00:00 in UTC.
However, when generating HTML documentation these tokens are
copied verbatim. What we can do is drop the '@' character and
wrap the variable in <code/> so that it is formatted properly.
Due to the way we 'parse' docs a token might actually be slightly
more than just '@variable'. For instance in the example above we
will have the following tokens: '(@seconds' and '@nseconds)'.
Thus we need to handle possible substring before and after

In addition when 'on_reboot' is 'destroy' in addition to 'on_poweroff'

Links between NUMA nodes can have different latencies and
bandwidths. This info is newly defined in ACPI 6.2 under
Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) table. Linux kernel
learned how to report these values under sysfs and thus we can
expose them in our capabilities XML. The sysfs interface is
documented in kernel's Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst.
Long story short, two nodes can be in initiator-target
relationship. A node can be initiator if it has a CPU or a device
that's capable of initiating memory transfer. Therefore a node
that has just memory can only be target. An initiator-target link
can then have any combination of {bandwidth, latency} - {access,
read, write} attribute (6 in total). However, the standard says
access is applicable iff read and write values are the same.
Therefore, we really have just four combinations of attributes:
bandwidth-read, bandwidth-write, latency-read, latency-write.
This is the combination that kernel reports anyway.
Then, under /sys/system/devices/node/nodeX/acccessN/initiators we
find values for those 4 attributes and also symlinks named
"nodeN" which then represent initiators to nodeX. For instance:
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/node0 -> ../../node0
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/read_bandwidth
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/read_latency
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/write_bandwidth
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/write_latency
This means that node0 is initiator and node1 is target and values
of the interconnect can be read.
In theory, there can be separate links to memory side caches too
(e.g. one link from node X to node Y's main memory, another from
node X to node Y's L1 cache, another one to L2 cache and so on).
But sysfs does not express this relationship just yet.
The "accessN" means either "access0" or "access1". The difference
is that while the former expresses the best interconnect between
two nodes including CPUS and I/O devices (such as GPUs and NICs),
the latter includes only CPUs and thus is what we need.

values to pass because we were not exposing caches of the host.
With recent enough kernel these are exposed under sysfs and with
a bit of parsing we can extend our capabilities XML. The sysfs
structure is documented in kernel's
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst and basically maps in
1:1 fashion to our virNumaCache structure.

It may happen that a NUMA node has no CPUs associated with it. We
allow this for domains since v6.6.0-rc1~250. Let's update our
capabilities schema to match that.

Currently we expose libvirt Go packages at
libvirt.org/libvirt-go
libvirt.org/libvirt-go-xml
These packages have not supported Go modules historically and when we
tried to introduce modules, we hit the problem that we're not using
semver for versioning.
The only way around this is to introduce new packages under a different
namespace, that will have the exact same code, but be tagged with a
different version numbering scheme.
This change proposes:
libvirt.org/go/libvirt
libvirt.org/go/libvirtxml
Note the hyphen is removed so that the import basename matches the
Go package name.

Disk serials are truncated arbitrarily and silently by qemu depending on
the device type and how they are configured. Since changing the current
state would lead to more regressions than we have now, document that the
truncation is arbitrary.

Nowadays memfd is the most convenient memory backend for vhost-user

to worry about configuring the location of the shm directory or

Cloud-Hypervisor is a KVM virtualization using hypervisor. It
functions similarly to qemu and the libvirt Cloud-Hypervisor driver
uses a very similar structure to the libvirt driver.
The biggest difference from the libvirt perspective is that the
"monitor" socket is seperated into two sockets one that commands are
issued to and one that events are notified from. The current
implementation only uses the command socket (running over a REST API
with json encoded data) with future changes to add support for the
event socket (to better handle shutdowns from inside the VM).
This patch adds support for the following initial VM actions using the
Cloud-Hypervsior API:
* vm.create
* vm.delete
* vm.boot
* vm.shutdown
* vm.reboot
* vm.pause
* vm.resume
To use the Cloud-Hypervisor driver, the v15.0 release of
Cloud-Hypervisor is required to be installed.
Some additional notes:
* The curl handle is persistent but not useful to detect ch process
shutdown/crash (a future patch will address this shortcoming)
* On a 64-bit host Cloud-Hypervisor needs to support PVH and so can
emulate 32-bit mode but it isn't fully tested (a 64-bit kernel and
32-bit userspace is fine, a 32-bit kernel isn't validated)

We supported autostart of node devices via an xml element, but this
is not consistent with other libvirt objects which use an explicit API
for setting autostart status. So revert this and implement it as an
official API in a future commit.
The initial support was refactored after merging, so this commit reverts
both of those previous commits.
Revert "virNodeDevCapMdevParseXML: Use virXMLPropEnum() for ./start/@type"
This reverts commit 9d4cd1d1cd.
Revert "nodedev: support auto-start property for mdevs"
This reverts commit 42a5585499.

After previous patches we have two structures:
virCapsHostNUMACellDistance and virNumaDistance which express the
same thing. And have the exact same members (modulo their names).
Drop the former in favor of the latter.
This change means that distances with value of 0 are no longer
printed out into capabilities XML, because domain XML code allows
partial distance specification and thus threats value of 0 as
unspecified by user (see virDomainNumaGetNodeDistance() which
returns the default LOCAL/REMOTE distance for value of 0).
Also, from ACPI 6.1 specification, section 5.2.17 System Locality
Distance Information Table (SLIT):
Distance values of 0-9 are reserved and have no meaning.
Thus we shouldn't be ever reporting 0 in neither domain nor
capabilities XML.

The default value hard-coded in QEMU (64KiB) is not always the ideal.
Having a possibility to set the cluster_size by user may in specific
use-cases improve performance for QCOW2 images.
QEMU internally has some limits, the value has to be between 512B and
2048KiB and must by power of two, except when the image has Extended L2
Entries the minimal value has to be 16KiB.
Since qemu-img ensures the value is correct and the limit is not always
the same libvirt will not duplicate any of these checks as the error
message from qemu-img is good enough:
Cluster size must be a power of two between 512 and 2048k
