7b79ee2f78 hostcpu: add support for reporting die_id in NUMA topology
Update the host CPU code to report the die_id in the NUMA topology
capabilities. On systems with multiple dies, this fixes the bug
where CPU cores can't be distinguished:

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

Notice how core_id is repeated within the scope of the same socket_id.

It now reports

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

So core_id is now unique within a (socket_id, die_id) pair.

fbf27730a3 conf: add support for specifying CPU "dies" parameter
Recently CPU hardware vendors have started to support a new structure
inside the CPU package topology known as a "die". Thus the hierarchy
is now:

  sockets > dies > cores > threads

This adds support for "dies" in the XML parser, with the value
defaulting to 1 if not specified for backwards compatibility.

For example a system with 64 logical CPUs might report

   <topology sockets="4" dies="2" cores="4" threads="2"/>

bd04d63ad9 qemu: Don't emit SUSPENDED_POSTCOPY event on destination
When pause-before-switchover QEMU capability is enabled, we get STOP
event before MIGRATION event with postcopy-active state. To properly
handle post-copy migration and emit correct events commit
v4.10.0-rc1-4-geca9d21e6c added a hack to
qemuProcessHandleMigrationStatus which translates the paused state
reason to VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_POSTCOPY and emits
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_POSTCOPY event when migration state changes
to post-copy.

However, the code was effective on both sides of migration resulting in
a confusing VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_POSTCOPY event on the destination
host, where entering post-copy mode is already properly advertised by
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_RESUMED_POSTCOPY event.

aab3779994 virchrdev: Don't leak @dev member of virChrdevHashEntry struct
When opening a console to a domain, we put a tuple of {path,
virStreamPtr} into a hash table that's private to the domain.
This is to ensure only one client at most has the console stream
open. Later, when the console is closed, the tuple is removed
from the hash table and freed. Except, @path won't be freed.

4c581527d4 qemu: Stop domain on failed restore
When resuming a domain from a save file, we read the domain XML
from the file, add it onto our internal list of domains, start
the qemu process, let it load the incoming migration stream and
resume its vCPUs afterwards. If anything goes wrong, the domain
object is removed from the list of domains and error is returned
to the caller. However, the qemu process might be left behind -
if resuming vCPUs fails (e.g. because qemu is unable to acquire
write lock on a disk) then due to a bug the qemu process is not
killed but the domain object is removed from the list.

This is somewhat confusing since the user did not specify an USB
device here. Since USB is not available on s390x, we should default
to the "virtio" bus here instead.

Historically there are two places where we format authentication and
encryption for a disk. The logich which formats it for backing files was
flawed though and didn't format it at all. This worked if the image
became a backing file through the means of a snapshot but not directly.

Force formatting of the source and encryption for any non-disk case to
fix the issue.

This caused problems in many places as we use the formatter to copy the
definition. Effectively any copy lost the secret definition.

When debugging tests under GDB/valgrind there is a significant
delay each time an execve is done as they scan shared libraries
once again. For tests which use many mock libraries, we have
been invoking execve many times which makes the debug experience
horrible. This changes our framework to activate the full
set of mock libraries in one single execve.

66ec00ab3e docs: Add snapshot-revert qemu managedsave force
Add documentation for additional reason why snapshot-revert might need
to be forced. This explains why restoring an inactive snapshot while
there is managed saved state is refused by default.

5373f63b30 qemu: Warn of restore with managed save being risky
Internal snapshots of a non-running domain do not carry any memory state
and restoring such a snapshot will not replace existing saved memory
state. This allows a scenario, where a user first suspends a domain into
managedsave, restores a non-running snapshot and then resumes the domain
from managedsave. After that, the guest system will run with its
previous memory state atop a different disk state. The most obvious
possible fallout from this is extensive file system corruption. Swap
content and RAID bitmaps might also be off.

This has been discussed[1] and fixed[2] from the end-user perspective for
virt-manager.

This patch marks the restore operation as risky at the libvirt level,
requiring the user to remove the saved memory state first or force the
operation.
