Change done by commit f309db1f4d51009bad0d32e12efc75530b66836b wrongly
assumes that qemu can start with a combination of NUMA nodes specified
with the "memdev" option and the appropriate backends, and the legacy
way by specifying only "mem" as a size argument. QEMU rejects such
commandline though:
$ /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -M pc -m 1024 -smp 2 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256 \
-object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node1,size=12345 \
-numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1
qemu-system-x86_64: -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1: qemu: memdev option must be specified for either all or no nodes
To fix this issue we need to check if any of the nodes requires the new
definition with the backend and if so, then all other nodes have to use
it too.

QEMU's command line visitor as well as the JSON interface take bytes by
default for memory object sizes. Convert mebibytes to bytes so that we
can later refactor the existing code for hotplug purposes.
QEMU's qapi visitor code allows yes/on/y for true and no/off/n for false
value of boolean properities. Unify the used style so that we can
generate it later and fix test cases.

In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:
<vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
gets translated into this one:
<vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
</cputune>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
</numatune>
We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.
Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.

The listen address is not mandatory for <interface type='server'>
but when it's not specified, we've been formatting it as:
-netdev socket,listen=(null):5558,id=hostnet0
which failed with:
Device 'socket' could not be initialized
Omit the address completely and only format the port in the listen
attribute.
Also fix the schema to allow specifying a model.
QEMU supports feature specification with -cpu host and we just skip

with 0e502466acb84a which changed the default of vgamem_mb for

Libvirt BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175397
QEMU BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170093
In qemu there are two interesting arguments:
1) -numa to create a guest NUMA node
2) -object memory-backend-{ram,file} to tell qemu which memory
region on which host's NUMA node it should allocate the guest
memory from.
Combining these two together we can instruct qemu to create a
guest NUMA node that is tied to a host NUMA node. And it works
just fine. However, depending on machine type used, there might
be some issued during migration when OVMF is enabled (see QEMU
BZ). While this truly is a QEMU bug, we can help avoiding it. The
problem lies within the memory backend objects somewhere. Having
said that, fix on our side consists on putting those objects on
the command line if and only if needed. For instance, while
previously we would construct this (in all ways correct) command
line:
-object memory-backend-ram,size=256M,id=ram-node0 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
now we create just:
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=256
because the backend object is obviously not tied to any specific
host NUMA node.

It occurred to me that OpenStack uses the following XML when not using
regular huge pages:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='4' unit='KiB'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
However, since we are expecting to see huge pages only, we fail to
startup the domain with following error:
libvirtError: internal error: Unable to find any usable hugetlbfs
mount for 4 KiB
While regular system pages are not huge pages technically, our code is
prepared for that and if it helps OpenStack (or other management
applications) we should cope with that.

So far we didn't have any option to set video memory size for qemu video
devices. There was only the vram (ram for QXL) attribute but it was valid
only for the QXL video device.
To provide this feature to users QEMU has a dedicated device attribute
called 'vgamem_mb' to set the video memory size. We will use the 'vram'
attribute for setting video memory size for other QEMU video devices.
For the cirrus device we will ignore the vram value because it has
hardcoded video size in QEMU.

QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
To track state of virtio channels this patch adds a new output-only
attribute called 'state' to the <target> element of virtio channels.
This will be later populated with the guest state of the channel.

CPU numa topology implicitly allows memory specification in 'KiB'.
Enabling this to accept the 'unit' in which memory needs to be specified.
This now allows users to specify memory in units of choice, and
lists the same in 'KiB' -- just like other 'memory' elements in XML.
<numa>
<cell cpus='0-3' memory='1024' unit='MiB' />
<cell cpus='4-7' memory='1024' unit='MiB' />

This new attribute will control whether or not libvirt will pay
attention to guest notifications about changes to network device mac
addresses and receive filters. The default for this is 'no' (for
security reasons). If it is set to 'yes' *and* the specified device
model and connection support it (currently only macvtap+virtio) then
libvirt will watch for NIC_RX_FILTER_CHANGED events, and when it
receives one, it will issue a query-rx-filter command, retrieve the
result, and modify the host-side macvtap interface's mac address and
unicast/multicast filters accordingly.
The functionality behind this attribute will be in a later patch. This
patch merely adds the attribute to the top-level of a domain's
<interface> as well as to <network> and <portgroup>, and adds
documentation and schema/xml2xml tests. Rather than adding even more
test files, I've just added the net attribute in various applicable
places of existing test files.

This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for
shared memory devices. This will currently be only accessible in QEMU
using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to
allow future expansion for other hypervisors.
In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
- For shmem device using a server:
<shmem name='shmem0'>
<server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
<msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
</shmem>
- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:
<shmem name='shmem1'>
<size unit='M'>32</size>
</shmem>
Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:
<shmem name='shmem1/>
<shmem name='shmem2'>
<server/>
</shmem>

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
Add options for tuning segment offloading:
<driver>
<host csum='off' gso='off' tso4='off' tso6='off'
ecn='off' ufo='off'/>
<guest csum='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/>
</driver>
which control the respective host_ and guest_ properties
of the virtio-net device.
We are not detecting the presence of FIPS from QEMU, but from procfs and
that means it's not QEMU capability. It was decided that we will pass
this flag to QEMU even if it's not supported by old QEMU binaries.
This patch also reverts changes done by commit a21cfb0f to
qemucapabilitestest and implements a new test case in qemuxml2argvtest.

There are two ways how to tell qemu to use huge pages. The first one
is suitable for domains with NUMA nodes: the path to hugetlbfs mount
is appended to NUMA node definition on the command line. The second
one is suitable for UMA domains: here there's this global '-mem-path'
argument that accepts path to the hugetlbfs mount point. However, the
latter case was not used for all the cases that it should be. For
instance:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
didn't trigger the '-mem-path' so the huge pages - despite being
configured - were not used at all.

As of 136ad4974 it is possible to specify different huge pages per

In other words with current code it is possible to define meaningless
combination:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='1048576' unit='KiB' nodeset='0,2-3'/>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='1,4'/>

Add an option 'iothreadpin' to the <cpuset> to allow for setting the
CPU affinity for each IOThread.
The iothreadspin will mimic the vcpupin with respect to being able to
assign each iothread to a specific CPU, although iothreads ids start
at 1 while vcpu ids start at 0. This matches the iothread naming scheme.
QEMU now supports UEFI with the following command line:
-drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on \
-drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1 \
where the first line reflects <loader> and the second one <nvram>.
Moreover, these two lines obsolete the -bios argument.
Note that UEFI is unusable without ACPI. This is handled properly now.
Among with this extension, the variable file is expected to be
writable and hence we need security drivers to label it.

Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.
