While trying to compare netfs against my new gluster pool, I
discovered two things:
virt-xml-validate chokes on valid xml produced by 'virsh pool-dumpxml'
[yet another reason that ALL patches that add new xml should be adding
corresponding tests]
When using glusterfs FUSE mounts, you cannot access a subdirectory
of a gluster volume. The recommended workaround in the gluster
community is to mount the volume to an intermediate location, then
bind-mount the desired subdirectory to the final location. Maybe
we should teach libvirt to do bind-mounting, but for now I chose to
just document the limitation.

The QOM path in qemu that contains the CPUID registers of a running VM
may not be present (introduced in QEMU 1.5).
Since commit d94b781771 we have a regression with QEMU that don't
support reporting of the CPUID register state via the monitor as the
process startup code expects the path to exist.
This patch adds code that checks with the monitor if the requested path
already exists and uses it only in this case.
There were two separate places with that were stringifying type of a
volume. One of the places was out of sync with types implemented
upstream.
To avoid such problems in the future, this patch adds a common function
to convert the type to string and reuses it across the two said places.
Add an extra space before the first column as we have when listing
domains.

If the host side of an LXC container console disconnected
and the guest side continued to write data, until the PTY
buffer filled up, the LXC controller would busy wait. It
would repeatedly see POLLHUP from poll() and not disable
the watch.
This was due to some bogus logic detecting blocking
conditions. Upon seeing a POLLHUP we must disable all
reading & writing from the PTY, and setup the epoll to
wake us up again when the connection comes back.

To avoid code duplication between snapshot configuration code that
parses the disk source too we need to split out this code that will be
reused later on.
This patch tries to be code movement, some aspects of this function will
be refactored later.
If the managedsave image is corrupted, e.g. the XML part is, we fail to
parse it and throw an error, e.g.:
error: Failed to start domain jms8
error: XML error: missing security model when using multiple labels
This is okay, as we can't really start the machine and avoid undefined
qemu behaviour. On the other hand, the error message doesn't give a
clue to users what should they do. The consensus here would be to thrown
a warning to logs saying "Hey, you've got a corrupted file".

If there's the following snippet in the domain XML, the domain will be
lost upon the daemon restart (if the domain is started prior restart):
<seclabel type='dynamic' relabel='yes'/>
The problem is, the 'label', 'imagelabel' and 'baselabel' are parsed
whenever the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE is *not* present or the label is
static. The latter is not our case, obviously. So, when libvirtd starts
up, it finds domain state xml and parse it. During parsing, many XML
flags are enabled but VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE. Hence, our parser tries
to extract 'label', 'imagelabel' and 'baselabel' from the XML which
fails for model='none'. Err, this model - even though not specified in
XML - can be taken from qemu wide config file: /etc/libvirtd/qemu.conf.
However, in order to know we are dealing with model='none' the code in
question must be moved forward a bit. Then a new check must be
introduced. This is what the first two chunks are doing.
But this alone is not sufficient. The domain state XML won't contain the
model attribute without slight modification. The model should be
inserted into the XML even if equal to 'none' and the state XML is being
generated - what if the origin (the @security_driver variable in
qemu.conf) changes during libvirtd restarts?
At the end, a test to catch this scenario is introduced.

The 'vcpucount' command is a getter command for the vCPUu count. When
one or more of the filtering flags are specified the command returns the
value only for the selected combination. In this case the --live and
--config combination isn't valid. This however didn't cause errors as
the combination of flags was rejected by the libvirt API but then the
fallback code kicked in and requested the count in a way where the clash
of the flags didn't matter.
Mark the flag combination mutually exclusive so that users aren't
confused.

When virPCIGetVirtualFunctions created the list of an SRIOV Physical
Function's (PF) Virtual Functions (VF), it had assumed that the order
of "virtfn*" links returned by readdir() from the PF's sysfs directory
was already in the correct order. Experience has shown that this is
not always the case - it can be in alphabetical order (which would
e.g. place virtfn11 before virtfn2) or even some seemingly random
order (see the example in the bugzilla report)
This results in 1) incorrect assumptions made by consumers of the
output of the virt_functions list of virsh nodedev-dumpxml, and 2)
setting MAC address and vlan tag on the wrong VF (since libvirt uses
netlink to set mac address and vlan tag, netlink requires the VF#, and
the function virPCIGetVirtualFunctionIndex() returns the wrong index
due to the improperly ordered VF list).
The solution provided by this patch is for virPCIGetVirtualFunctions
to no longer scan the entire device directory in its natural order,
but instead to check for links individually by name "virtfn%d" where
%d starts at 0 and increases with each success. Since VFs are created
contiguously by the kernel, this will guarantee that all VFs are
found, and placed in the arry in the correct order.
One note of use to the uninitiated is that VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT always
either increments *num_virtual_functions or fails, so no this isn't an
endless loop.
(NB: the SRIOV_* defines at the top of virpci.c were removed
because they are unnecessary and/or not used.)
When adding support for Q35 guests, the code to assign a PCI address

This patch remedies that by assigning a PCI address to the primary
video card if it does not have any kind of address. In particular,
this fixes issues with pseries guests.

When starting a VM the qemu process may filter out some requested
features of a domain as it's not supported either by the host or by
qemu. Libvirt didn't check if this happened which might end up in
changing of the guest ABI when migrating.
The proof of concept implementation adds the check for the recently
introduced kvm_pv_unhalt cpuid feature bit. This feature depends on both
qemu and host kernel support and thus increase the possibility of guest
ABI breakage.
The linux kernel recently added support for paravirtual spinlock
handling to avoid performance regressions on overcomitted hosts. This
feature needs to be turned in the hypervisor so that the guest OS is
notified about the possible support.
This patch adds a new feature "paravirt-spinlock" to the XML and
supporting code to enable the "kvm_pv_unhalt" pseudo CPU feature in
qemu.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008989
Currently we were storing domain feature flags in a bit field as the
they were either enabled or disabled. New features such as paravirtual
spinlocks however can be tri-state as the default option may depend on
hypervisor version.
To allow storing tri-state feature state in the same place instead of
having to declare dedicated variables for each feature this patch
refactors the bit field to an array.
Some of the emulator features are presented in the <features> element in
the domain XML although they are virtual CPUID feature bits when
presented to the guest. To avoid confusing the users with these
features, as they are not configurable via the <cpu> element, this patch
adds an internal array where those can be stored privately instead of
exposing them in the XML.
Additionaly KVM feature bits are added as example usage of this code.
The qemu monitor supports retrieval of actual CPUID bits presented to
the guest using QMP monitor. Add APIs to extract these information and
tests for them.

The CPUID functions were stored in multiple arrays according to a
specified prefix of those. This made it very hard to add another prefix
to store KVM CPUID features (0x40000000). Instead of hardcoding a third
array this patch changes the approach used:
The code is refactored to use a single array where the CPUID functions
are stored ordered by the cpuid function so that they don't depend on
the specific prefix and don't waste memory. The code is also less
complex using this approach. A trateoff to this is the change from O(N)
complexity to O(N^2) in x86DataAdd and x86DataSubtract. The rest of the
functions were already using O(N^2) algorithms.
vol-clone reports out of memory error with disk type on ppc64.
Currently, wbytes is defined as size_t type (8 bytes), but
args's value in ioctl(fd, args..) in kernel is int (4 bytes).
This makes wbytes 2^32 times larger, causing an out of memory error.
This patch changes size_t to int to synchronize with kernel.

'unsigned char *' makes sense if you are doing math on bytes and
don't want to worry about wraparound from a signed 'char'; but
since all we are doing is memcmp() or virReadBufInt*[LB]E(), which
are both safe on either type of char, and since read() prefers to
operate on 'char *', it's simpler to avoid casts by just typing
things as 'char *' from the get-go. [Technically, read can
operate on an 'unsigned char *' thanks to the C rule that any
pointer can be implicitly converted to 'char *' for legacy K&R
compatibility; but where this patch saves us is if we try to use
virfile.h functions that take 'char **' in order to allocate the
buffer, where the compiler would barf on type mismatch.]
* src/util/virstoragefile.c (FileTypeInfo): Avoid unsigned char.
