Most of QEMU's PCI display device models, such as:
libvirt video/model/@type QEMU -device
------------------------- ------------
cirrus cirrus-vga
vga VGA
qxl qxl-vga
virtio virtio-vga
come with a linear framebuffer (sometimes called "VGA compatibility
framebuffer"). This linear framebuffer lives in one of the PCI device's
MMIO BARs, and allows guest code (primarily: firmware drivers, and
non-accelerated OS drivers) to display graphics with direct memory access.
Due to architectural reasons on aarch64/KVM hosts, this kind of
framebuffer doesn't / can't work in
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) -M virt
machines. Cache coherency issues guarantee a corrupted / unusable display.
The problem has been researched by several people, including kvm-arm
maintainers, and it's been decided that the best way (practically the only
way) to have boot time graphics for such guests is to consolidate on
QEMU's "virtio-gpu-pci" device.
>From <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195176>, libvirt
supports
<devices>
<video>
<model type='virtio'/>
</video>
</devices>
but libvirt unconditionally maps @type='virtio' to QEMU's "virtio-vga"
device model. (See the qemuBuildDeviceVideoStr() function and the
"qemuDeviceVideo" enum impl.)
According to the above, this is not right for the "virt" machine type; the
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) binaries don't even recognize the "virtio-vga"
device model (justifiedly). Whereas "virtio-gpu-pci", which is a pure
virtio device without a compatibility framebuffer, is available, and works
fine.
(The ArmVirtQemu ("AAVMF") platform of edk2 -- that is, the UEFI firmware
for "virt" -- supports "virtio-gpu-pci", as of upstream commit
3ef3209d3028. See
<https://tianocore.acgmultimedia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=66>.)
Override the default mapping of "virtio", from "virtio-vga" to
"virtio-gpu-pci", if qemuDomainMachineIsVirt() evaluates to true.

Use the state information (online, hotpluggable) provided by the monitor
code rather than trying to infer it. This fixes an issue where on
architectures that require hotplug of multiple threads at once the
sub-cores would get updated as offline on daemon restart thus creating
an invalid configuration.

Return whether a vcpu entry is hotpluggable or online so that upper
layers don't have to infer the information from other data.
Advantage is that this code can be tested by unit tests.
The algorithm that matches data from query-cpus and
query-hotpluggable-cpus is quite complex. Start using descriptive
iterator names to avoid confusion.

Apparently, some management applications use the following code
pattern when waiting for a block job to finish:
while (1) {
virDomainGetBlockJobInfo(dom, disk, info, flags);
if (info.cur == info.end)
break;
sleep(1);
}
Problem with this approach is in its corner cases. In case of
QEMU, libvirt merely pass what has been reported on the monitor.
However, if the block job hasn't started yet, qemu reports cur ==
end == 0 which tricks mgmt apps into thinking job is complete.
The solution is to mangle cur/end values as described here [1].

Even though we merely just pass to users whatever qemu provided

Thing is, in f3f15cc24 I'm trying to adapt libvirt to the newest
glibc where major()/minor()/makedev() are moved from sys/types.h
to sys/sysmacros.h. However, my commit back then expect autoconf
to be fixed too as we already use AC_HEADER_MAJOR to determine
which header file the functions are in, but because the header
files just trigger a warning and not a compile error, the
autoconf macro detects the bad header file.
This is just a workaround until autoconf macro is fixed.

The virsh-self-test script compared the test's return code with 1 and only if
the return code matched this value then the test was marked as failed. Problem
is that SIGSEGV returns 139 (or 11 to be precise, since shell reserves the MSB
for abnormal exit signaling) which passes the check just fine and test then
appears as successful which it most certainly wasn't.
Therefore, flip the logic to compare against 0 instead and every other result
will be treated as a failed test case.

In a full domain config, libvirt allows overriding the normal PCI
vs. PCI Express rules when a device address is explicitly provided
(so, e.g., you can force a legacy PCI device to plug into a PCIe port,
although libvirt would never do that on its own). However, due to a
bug libvirt doesn't give this same leeway when hotplugging devices. On
top of that, current libvirt assumes that *all* devices are legacy
PCI. The result of all this is that it's impossible to hotplug a
device into a PCIe port, even if you manually add the PCI address.
This can all be traced to the function
virDomainPCIAddressEnsureAddr(), and the fact that it calls
virDomainPCIaddressReserveSlot() for manually set addresses, and that
function hardcodes the argument "fromConfig" to false (meaning "this
address was auto-assigned, so it should be subject to stricter
validation").
Since virDomainPCIAddressReserveSlot() is just a one line simple
wrapper around virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr() (adding in a hardcoded
reserveEntireSlot = true and fromConfig = false), all that's needed to
solve the problem with no unwanted side effects is to replace that
call for virDomainPCIAddressReserveSlot() with a direct call to
virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr(), but with reserveEntireSlot = true,
fromConfig = true. That's what this patch does.

virQEMUDriverConfigNew() always initializes the bitmap in its
cgroupControllers member to -1 (i.e. all 1's).
Prior to commit a9331394, if qemu.conf had a line with
"cgroup_controllers", cgroupControllers would get reset to 0 before
going through a loop setting a bit for each named cgroup controller.
commit a9331394 left out the "reset to 0" part, so cgroupControllers
would always be -1; if you didn't want a controller included, there
was no longer a way to make that happen.
This was discovered by users who were using qemu commandline
passthrough to use the "input-linux" method of directing
keyboard/mouse input to a virtual machine:

Commit id 'a48c7141' altered how to determine if a volume was encrypted
by adding a peek at an offset into the file at a specific buffer location.
Unfortunately, all that was compared was the first "char" of the buffer
against the expect "int" value.
Restore the virReadBufInt32BE to get the complete field in order to
compare against the expected value from the qcow2EncryptionInfo or
qcow1EncryptionInfo "modeValue" field.
This restores the capability to create a volume with encryption, then
refresh the pool, and still find the encryption for the volume.
A LUKS volume uses the volume secret type just like the QCOW2 secret, so
adjust the loading of the default secrets to handle any volume that the
virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf code has deemed to be an encrypted volume
to search for the volume's secret. This lookup is done by volume usage
where the usage is expected to be the path to volume.
When a new filter is being defined, the return code is not handled properly,
thus triggering OOM error reporting routine (bug introduced by 51b2606f).

When migration fails, we need to poke QEMU monitor to check for a reason
of the failure. We did this using query-migrate QMP command, which is
not supposed to return any meaningful result on the destination side.
Thus if the monitor was still functional when we detected the migration
failure, parsing the answer from query-migrate always failed with the
following error message:
"info migration reply was missing return status"
This irrelevant message was then used as the reason for the migration
failure replacing any message we might have had.
Let's use harmless query-status for poking the monitor to make sure we
only get an error if the monitor connection is broken.

Commit id 'b00d7f29' shifted the opening of the /sys/devices/intel_cqm/type
file from event enable to perf event initialization. If the file did not
exist, then an error would be written to the domain log:

Since the error is now handled in virPerfEventEnable by checking if the
event_attr->attrType == 0 for CMT, MBML, and MBMT events - we can just
use the Quiet API in order to not log the error we're going to throw away.
Additionally, rather than using virReportSystemError, use virReportError
and VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED in order to signify that support isn't there
for that type of perf event - adjust the error message as well.

Parse libxl_hwcap accounting for versions since Xen 4.4 - Xen 4.7.
libxl_hwcaps is a set of cpuid leaves output that is described in [0] or
[1] in Xen 4.7. This is a collection of CPUID leaves that we version
in libvirt whenever feature words are reordered or added. Thus we keep the
common ones in one struct and others for each version. Since
libxl_hwcaps doesn't appear to have a stable format across all supported
versions thus we need to keep track of changes as a compromise until it's
exported in xen libxl API. We don't fail in initializing the driver in case
parsing of hwcaps failed for that reason. In addition, change the notation
on PAE feature such that is easier to read which bit it corresponds.

Qemu always opens the tray if forced to. Skip the waiting step in such
case.
This also helps if qemu does not report the tray change event when
opening the cdrom forcibly (the documentation says that the event will
not be sent although qemu in fact does trigger it even if @force is
selceted).
This is a workaround for a qemu issue where qemu does not send the tray
change event in some cases (after migration with empty closed locked
drive) and thus renders the cdrom useless from libvirt's point of view.
