Since

  Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
  Date:   Mon Dec 16 10:06:50 2019 +0000

    docs: add pages to support Go module package resolution

it's possible to use

  import "libvirt.org/libvirt-go"
  import "libvirt.org/libvirt-go-xml"

in Go programs, which will result in the Go packages being
fetched directly from libvirt.org instead of GitHub.

The godoc website offers the API documentation for the updated
imports, and that's where we should send users.

87b811279a docs: Update download location for Go packages
We haven't ever made releases of the Go components, which makes
sense because that's just not how that specific ecosystem works.

For people who are looking to use libvirt from Go, the brief
introductory pages located at the same URLs used to import the
packages are a better entry point than an empty directory
listing, so let's send them there instead.

fb0509d06a conf: parse/format <teaming> subelement of <interface>
The subelement <teaming> of <interface> devices is used to configure a
simple teaming association between two interfaces in a domain. Example:

  <interface type='bridge'>
    <source bridge='br0'/>
    <model type='virtio'/>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <alias name='ua-backup0'/>
    <teaming type='persistent'/>
  </interface>
  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <address type='pci' bus='0x02' slot='0x10' function='0x4'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <teaming type='transient' persistent='ua-backup0'/>
  </interface>

The interface with <teaming type='persistent'/> is assumed to always
be present, while the interface with type='transient' may be be
unplugged and later re-plugged; the persistent='blah' attribute (and
in the one currently available implementation, also the matching MAC
addresses) is what associates the two devices with each other. It is
up to the hypervisor and the guest network drivers to determine what
to do with this information.

201156ec6e docs: add pages to support Go module package resolution
Currently the libvirt Go modules are accessed by applications using
their github repository URLs. This is undesirable as we don't want
applications to have a direct dependancy on a specific source repo
location. We want to enable applications to use the Go packages via
the libvirt.org namespace.

When you do "go get libvirt.org/libvirt-go", the Go client will do an
HTTPS request to that URL, and parse the HTML content to look for a
<meta> tag which tells it where to the find the GIT repository.

   https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths

This adds two pages to support this Go module resolution. They are
not linked from anywhere as we don't expect users to actually look
at them. If someone does happen upon them, there's some boilerplate
text to send them off to godoc.org for API documentation.

Since the pages we're adding have a .html extension, we will also
use a small apache config tweak on the server

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go$ /libvirt-go.html [L]
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go-xml$ /libvirt-go-xml.html [L]

d600667278 qemu: introduce a new "virt-qemu-run" program
The previous "QEMU shim" proof of concept was taking an approach of only
caring about initial spawning of the QEMU process. It was then
registered with the libvirtd daemon who took over management of it. The
intent was that later libvirtd would be refactored so that the shim
retained control over the QEMU monitor and libvirt just forwarded APIs
to each shim as needed. This forwarding of APIs would require quite alot
of significant refactoring of libvirtd to achieve.

This impl thus takes a quite different approach, explicitly deciding to
keep the VMs completely separate from those seen & managed by libvirtd.
Instead it uses the new "qemu:///embed" URI scheme to embed the entire
QEMU driver in the shim, running with a custom root directory.

Once the driver is initialization, the shim starts a VM and then waits
to shutdown automatically when QEMU shuts down, or should kill QEMU if
it is terminated itself. This ought to use the AUTO_DESTROY feature but
that is not yet available in embedded mode, so we rely on installing a
few signal handlers to gracefully kill QEMU. This isn't reliable if
we crash of course, but you can restart with the same root dir.

Note this program does not expose any way to manage the QEMU process,
since there's no RPC interface enabled. It merely starts the VM and
cleans up when the guest shuts down at the end. This program is
installed to /usr/bin/virt-qemu-run enabling direct use by end users.
Most use cases will probably want to integrate the concept directly
into their respective application codebases. This standalone binary
serves as a nice demo though, and also provides a way to measure
performance of the startup process quite simply.

3e9076e777 secrets: add support for running secret driver in embedded mode
This enables support for running the secret driver embedded to the
calling application process using a URI:

   secret:///embed?root=/some/path

When using the embedded mode with a root=/var/tmp/embed, the
driver will use the following paths:

       configDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/secrets
        stateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/secrets

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged
or unprivileged.

This compares with the system instance which uses

       configDir: /etc/libvirt/secrets
        stateDir: /var/lib/libvirt/secrets

When an embedded instance of the secret driver is open, any other
embedded drivers will automatically use the embedded secret driver.

068efae5b1 qemu: add support for running QEMU driver in embedded mode
This enables support for running QEMU embedded to the calling
application process using a URI:

   qemu:///embed?root=/some/path

Note that it is important to keep the path reasonably short to
avoid risk of hitting the limit on UNIX socket path names
which is 108 characters.

When using the embedded mode with a root=/var/tmp/embed, the
driver will use the following paths:

                logDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/swtpm
         configBaseDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/qemu
              stateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/qemu
         swtpmStateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/tmp/embed/cache/qemu
                libDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/qemu
       swtpmStorageDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/pki/qemu

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged
or unprivileged.

This compares with the system instance which uses

                logDir: /var/log/libvirt/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu
         configBaseDir: /etc/libvirt/qemu
              stateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu
         swtpmStateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/cache/libvirt/qemu
                libDir: /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
       swtpmStorageDir: /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /etc/pki/qemu

At this time all features present in the QEMU driver are available when
running in embedded mode, availability matching whether the embedded
driver is privileged or unprivileged.

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.

96999404cb Introducing new address type='unassigned' for PCI hostdevs
This patch introduces a new PCI hostdev address type called
'unassigned'. This new type gives users the option to add
PCI hostdevs to the domain XML in an 'unassigned' state, meaning
that the device exists in the domain, is managed by Libvirt
like any regular PCI hostdev, but the guest does not have
access to it.

This adds extra options for managing PCI device binding
inside Libvirt, for example, making all the managed PCI hostdevs
declared in the domain XML to be detached from the host and bind
to the chosen driver and, at the same time, allowing just a
subset of these devices to be usable by the guest.

Next patch will use this new address type in the QEMU driver to
avoid adding unassigned devices to the QEMU launch command line.

e1b022890e schemas: Introduce disk type NVMe
There is this class of PCI devices that act like disks: NVMe.
Therefore, they are both PCI devices and disks. While we already
have <hostdev/> (and can assign a NVMe device to a domain
successfully) we don't have disk representation. There are three
problems with PCI assignment in case of a NVMe device:

1) domains with <hostdev/> can't be migrated

2) NVMe device is assigned whole, there's no way to assign only a
   namespace

3) Because hypervisors see <hostdev/> they don't put block layer
   on top of it - users don't get all the fancy features like
   snapshots

NVMe namespaces are way of splitting one continuous NVDIMM memory
into smaller ones, effectively creating smaller NVMe-s (which can
then be partitioned, LVMed, etc.)

Because of all of this the following XML was chosen to model a
NVMe device:

  <disk type='nvme' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source type='pci' managed='yes' namespace='1'>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </source>
    <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>

1902356231 qemu: keep capabilities when running QEMU as root
When QEMU uid/gid is set to non-root this is pointless as if we just
used a regular setuid/setgid call, the process will have all its
capabilities cleared anyway by the kernel.

When QEMU uid/gid is set to root, this is almost (always?) never
what people actually want. People make QEMU run as root in order
to access some privileged resource that libvirt doesn't support
yet and this often requires capabilities. As a result they have
to go find the qemu.conf param to turn this off. This is not
viable for libguestfs - they want to control everything via the
XML security label to request running as root regardless of the
qemu.conf settings for user/group.

Clearing capabilities was implemented originally because there
was a proposal in Fedora to change permissions such that root,
with no capabilities would not be able to compromise the system.
ie a locked down root account. This never went anywhere though,
and as a result clearing capabilities when running as root does
not really get us any security benefit AFAICT. The root user
can easily do something like create a cronjob, which will then
faithfully be run with full capabilities, trivially bypassing
the restriction we place.

IOW, our clearing of capabilities is both useless from a security
POV, and breaks valid use cases when people need to run as root.

This removes the clear_emulator_capabilities configuration
option from qemu.conf, and always runs QEMU with capabilities
when root.  The behaviour when non-root is unchanged.

The rst2man tool is provided by python docutils, and as the name
suggests, it converts RST documents into man pages.

The intention is that our current POD docs will be converted to
RST format, allowing one more use of Perl to be eliminated from
libvirt.

The manual pages will now all be kept in the docs/manpages/ directory,
which enables us to include the man pages in the published website.
This is good for people searching for libvirt man pages online as it
makes it more likely google will send them to the libvirt.org instead
of some random third party man page site with outdated content.

252958ee16 backup: Document new XML for backups
Prepare for new backup APIs by describing the XML that will represent
a backup.  The XML resembles snapshots and checkpoints in being able
to select actions for a set of disks, but has other differences.  It
can support both push model (the hypervisor does the backup directly
into the destination file) and pull model (the hypervisor exposes an
access port for a third party to grab what is necessary).  Add
testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML.

The <disk> element within <domainbackup> tries to model the same
elements as a <disk> under <domain>, but sharing the RNG grammar
proved to be hairy. That is in part because while <domain> use
<source> to describe a host resource in use by the guest, a backup job
is using a host resource that is not visible to the guest: a push
backup action is instead describing a <target> (which ultimately could
be a remote network resource, but for simplicity the RNG just
validates a local file for now), and a pull backup action is instead
describing a temporary local file <scratch> (which probably should not
be a remote resource).  A future refactoring may thus introduce some
way to parameterize RNG to accept <disk type='FOO'>...</disk> so that
the name of the subelement can be <source> for domain, or <target> or
<scratch> as needed for backups. Future patches may improve this area
of code.

 - The test driver is hardcoded to always use i686 arch
 - The VMWare/ESX drivers will always place i686 guests ahead
   of x86_64 guests in capabilities, so effectively they always
   use i686
 - The QEMU driver can potentially return any arch at all
   depending on what combination of QEMU binaries are installed.

The domain XML hardware configurations are inherently architecture
specific in many places. As a result whomever/whatever created the
domain XML will have had a particular architecture in mind when
specifying the config. In pretty much any sensible case this arch
will have been the native host architecture. i686 on x86_64 is
the only sensible divergance because both these archs are
compatible from a domaain XML config POV.

IOW, although the QEMU driver can pick an almost arbitrary arch as its
default, in the real world no application or user is likely to be
relying on this default arch being anything other than native.

With all this in mind, it is reasonable to change the XML parser to
allow the default architecture to be passed via the domain XML options
struct. If no info is explicitly given then it is safe & sane to pick
the host native architecture as the default for the guest.

The 3-space indent rule may sound wierd, but that's what python has
recommended and thus what tools like pandoc emit. Rather than try to
reindent things to 4-space, just accept this RST norm.

not want it.

Simplify life by rendering all tables in a pretty style and remove the
need for the "top_table" class entirely. A small rule turns off the
pretty style for the API reference where tables are a hack used to
render enums with horizontal alignment.

  Date:   Wed Nov 20 14:49:26 2019 +0000

    docs: generate API reference pages for admin, qemu & lxc libraries

we have many rules generating files into docs/html/. The xmllint
calls for each rule are picking up files which are part-generated by
other parallel build rules resulting in transient errors like:

  GEN      html/index.html
  GEN      html/index-admin.html
  GEN      html/index-qemu.html
  GEN      html/index-lxc.html
  GEN      hvsupport.html.in
html/index-lxc.html:1: parser error : Document is empty

^
make[4]: *** [Makefile:2407: html/index-qemu.html] Error 1

The easiest solution is to move the xmllint rules to the 'make check'
phase of the build.

9b80e0c12a util: drop support for stack traces with logging
The log filters have supported the use of a "+" before the source match
string to request that a stack trace be emitted for every log message:

  commit 548563956e
  Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
  Date:   Wed May 9 15:18:56 2012 +0100

    Allow stack traces to be included with log messages

    Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
    This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
    can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.

With the huge & ever increasing number of logging statements per file,
this will be incredibly verbose and have a major performance penalty.
This makes the feature impractical to use widely and as such it is not
worth the code maint cost.

Removing this seldom used feature allows us to drop the 'execinfo'
module in gnulib which provides the backtrace() function which doesn't
exist on non-Linux.

Users who want to get stack traces of parts of libvirt can use GDB,
or systemtap for live tracing with minimal perf impact.

Use of virStrerror should be eliminated through the codebase in favour

667ff797e8 src: add support for g_autoptr with virObject instances
Libvirt currently uses the VIR_AUTOUNREF macro for auto cleanup of
virObject instances. GLib approaches things differently with GObject,
reusing their g_autoptr() concept.

This introduces support for g_autoptr() with virObject, to facilitate
the conversion to GObject.

Only virObject classes which are currently used with VIR_AUTOREF are
updated. Any others should be converted to GObject before introducing
use of autocleanup.

As a result it is now possible to use g_autoptr/VIR_AUTOPTR, and
g_auto/VIR_AUTOCLEAN, g_autofree/VIR_AUTOFREE interchangably, regardless
of which macros were used to declare the cleanup types.

Within the scope of any single method, code must remain consistent
using either GLib or Libvirt macros, never mixing both. New code
must preferentially use the GLib macros, and old code will be
converted incrementally.

e85e34f3af util: use glib memory allocation functions
Convert the VIR_ALLOC family of APIs with use of the g_malloc family of
APIs. Use of VIR_ALLOC related functions should be incrementally phased
out over time, allowing return value checks to be dropped. Use of
VIR_FREE should be replaced with auto-cleanup whenever possible.

We previously used the 'calloc-posix' gnulib module because mingw does
not set errno to ENOMEM on failure.

cfbe9f1201 build: link to glib library
Add the main glib.h to internal.h so that all common code can use it.

Historically glib allowed applications to register an alternative
memory allocator, so mixing g_malloc/g_free with malloc/free was not
safe.

This was feature was dropped in 2.46.0 with:

      commit 3be6ed60aa58095691bd697344765e715a327fc1
      Author: Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
      Date:   Sat Jun 27 18:38:42 2015 +0200

        Deprecate and drop support for memory vtables

Applications are still encourged to match g_malloc/g_free, but it is no
longer a mandatory requirement for correctness, just stylistic. This is
explicitly clarified in

    commit 1f24b36607bf708f037396014b2cdbc08d67b275
    Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
    Date:   Thu Sep 5 14:37:54 2019 +0100

        gmem: clarify that g_malloc always uses the system allocator

Applications can still use custom allocators in general, but they must
do this by linking to a library that replaces the core malloc/free
implemenentation entirely, instead of via a glib specific call.

This means that libvirt does not need to be concerned about use of
g_malloc/g_free causing an ABI change in the public libary, and can
avoid memory copying when talking to external libraries.

This patch probes for glib, which provides the foundation layer with
a collection of data structures, helper APIs, and platform portability
logic.

Later patches will introduce linkage to gobject which provides the
object type system, built on glib, and gio which providing objects
for various interesting tasks, most notably including DBus client
and server support and portable sockets APIs, but much more too.

557ac8cbf5 docs: attempt to document the general libvirt dev strategy
There are various ideas / plans floating around for future libvirt work,
some of which is actively in progress. Historically we've never captured
this kind of information anywhere, except in mailing list discussions.
In particular guidelines in hacking.html.in don't appear until a policy
is actively applied.

This patch attempts to fill the documentation gap, by creating a new
"strategy" page which outlines the general vision for some notable
future changes. The key thing to note is that none of the stuff on this
page is guaranteed, plans may change as new information arises. IOW this
is a "best guess" as to the desired future.

This doc has focused on three areas, related to the topic of language
usage / consolidation

 - Use of non-C languages for the library, daemons or helper tools
 - Replacement of autotools with meson
 - Use of RST and Sphinx for documentation (website + man pages)

77f72a8615 conf: new "managed" attribute for target dev of <interface type='ethernet'>
Although <interface type='ethernet'> has always been able to use an
existing tap device, this is just a coincidence due to the fact that
the same ioctl is used to create a new tap device or get a handle to
an existing device.

Even then, once we have the handle to the device, we still insist on
doing extra setup to it (setting the MAC address and IFF_UP).  That
*might* be okay if libvirtd is running as a privileged process, but if
libvirtd is running as an unprivileged user, those attempted
modifications to the tap device will fail (yes, even if the tap is set
to be owned by the user running libvirtd). We could avoid this if we
knew that the device already existed, but as stated above, an existing
device and new device are both accessed in the same manner, and
anyway, we need to preserve existing behavior for those who are
already using pre-existing devices with privileged libvirtd (and
allowing/expecting libvirt to configure the pre-existing device).

In order to cleanly support the idea of using a pre-existing and
pre-configured tap device, this patch introduces a new optional
attribute "managed" for the interface <target> element. This
attribute is only valid for <interface type='ethernet'> (since all
other interface types have mandatory config that doesn't apply in the
case where we expect the tap device to be setup before we
get it). The syntax would look something like this:

   <interface type='ethernet'>
      <target dev='mytap0' managed='no'/>
      ...
   </interface>

This patch just adds managed to the grammar and parser for <target>,
but has no functionality behind it.

(NB: when managed='no' (the default when not specified is 'yes'), the
target dev is always a name explicitly provided, so we don't
auto-remove it from the config just because it starts with "vnet"
(VIR_NET_GENERATED_TAP_PREFIX); this makes it possible to use the
same pattern of names that libvirt itself uses when it automatically
creates the tap devices.)

926b7b6e6c docs: remove devhelp API docs
We currently generate two completely separate API references for the
libvirt public API. One at 'docs/html/' and one at 'docs/devhelp/'.
Both are published on the website, but we only link to content in
the 'docs/html/' pages.

Both are installed in the libvirt-docs sub-RPM, with a full copy
of the website including 'docs/html/' in /usr/share/docs/libvirt-docs,
while the 'docs/devhelp/' content goes to /usr/share/gtk-doc/. The
latter was broken for years until:

  commit ca6f602546
  Author: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>
  Date:   Fri May 10 14:54:52 2019 +0200

    docs: Introduce $(devhelphtml_generated)

    Our XSLT magic generates one Devhelp-compatible HTML file
    per documentation module, but so far we have only shipped
    and installed documentation for virterror.

    Now that we have $(modules), however, we can generate the
    list of files the same way we do for regular documentation
    and make sure we always ship and install everything.

That this bug went unnoticed for so long is a sign of how few
people are using the devhelp docs. The only commits to the devhelp
code since it was first introduced have been fixing various build
problems that hit.

The only obvious difference between the two sets of docs is the CSS
styling in use. Overall devhelp does not look compelling enough to
justify having two duplicated sets of API docs. Eliminating it will
reduce the amount of XSL code we are carrying in the tree which is
an attractive benefit.

b18c273a24 remote: enable connecting to the per-driver daemons
Historically URIs handled by the remote driver will always connect to
the libvirtd UNIX socket. There will now be one daemon per driver, and
each of these has its own UNIX sockets to connect to.

It will still be possible to run the traditional monolithic libvirtd
though, which will have the original UNIX socket path.

In addition there is a virproxyd daemon that doesn't run any drivers,
but provides proxying for clients accessing libvirt over IP sockets, or
tunnelling to the legacy libvirtd UNIX socket path.

Finally when running inside a daemon, the remote driver must not reject
connections unconditionally. For example, the QEMU driver needs to be
able to connect to the network driver. The remote driver must thus be
willing to handle connections even when inside the daemon, provided no
local driver is registered.

This refactoring enables the remote driver to be able to connect to the
per-driver daemons. The URI parameter "mode" accepts the values "auto",
"direct" and "legacy" to control which daemons are connected to.

The client side libvirt.conf config file also supports a "remote_mode"
setting which is used if the URI parameter is not set.

If neither the config file or URI parameter set a mode, then "auto"
is used, whereby the client looks to see which sockets actually exist
right now.

The remote driver will only ever spawn the per-driver daemons, or
the legacy libvirtd. It won't ever try to spawn virtproxyd, as
that is only there for IP based connectivity, or for access from
legacy remote clients.

If connecting to a remote host over any kind of ssh tunnel, for now we
must assume only the legacy socket exists. A future patch will introduce
a netcat replacement that is tailored for libvirt to make remote
tunnelling easier.

The configure arg '--with-remote-default-mode=legacy|direct' allows
packagers to set a default at build time. If not given, it will default
to legacy mode.

Eventually the default will switch to direct mode. Distros can choose
to do the switch earlier if desired. The main blocker is testing and
suitable SELinux/AppArmor policies.

d19c21429f virpci: Allow greater PCI domain value in virPCIDeviceAddressIsValid
There is no restriction on maximum value of PCI domain. In fact,
Linux kernel uses plain atomic inc when assigning PCI domains:

drivers/pci/pci.c:static int pci_get_new_domain_nr(void)
drivers/pci/pci.c-{
drivers/pci/pci.c-      return atomic_inc_return(&__domain_nr);
drivers/pci/pci.c-}

Of course, this function is called only if kernel was compiled
without PCI domain support or ACPI did not provide PCI domain.

However, QEMU still has the same restriction as us: in
set_pci_host_devaddr() QEMU checks if domain isn't greater than
0xffff. But one can argue that that's a QEMU limitation. We still
want to be able to cope with other hypervisors that don't have
this limitation (possibly).

7efe930ec3 backup: Prevent snapshots and checkpoints at same time
Earlier patches mentioned that the initial implementation will prevent
snapshots and checkpoints from being used on the same domain at once.
However, the actual restriction is done in this separate patch to make
it easier to lift that restriction via a revert, when we are finally

0d44788fc3 backup: Introduce virDomainCheckpoint APIs
Introduce a bunch of new public APIs related to backup checkpoints.
Checkpoints are modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both
represent a point in time of the guest), although a snapshot exists
with the intent of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint
exists to make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time.  We may have a future hypervisor that can completely manage
checkpoints without libvirt metadata, but the first two planned
hypervisors (qemu and test) both always use libvirt for tracking
metadata relations between checkpoints, so for now, I've deferred
the counterpart of virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata for a separate
API addition at a later date if there is ever a need for it.

Note that until we allow snapshots and checkpoints to exist
simultaneously on the same domain (although the actual prevention of
this will be in a separate patch for the sake of an easier revert down
the road), that it is not possible to branch out to create more than
one checkpoint child to a given parent, although it may become
possible later when we revert to a snapshot that coincides with a
checkpoint.  This also means that for now, the decision of which
checkpoint becomes the parent of a newly created one is the only
checkpoint with no child (so while there are APIs for dealing with a
current snapshot, we do not need those for checkpoints).  We may end
up exposing a notion of a current checkpoint later, but it's easier to
add stuff when proven needed than to blindly support it now and wish
we hadn't exposed it.

The following map shows the API relations to snapshots, with new APIs
on the right:

Operate on a domain object to create/redefine a child:
virDomainSnapshotCreateXML          virDomainCheckpointCreateXML

Operate on a child object for lifetime management:
virDomainSnapshotDelete             virDomainCheckpointDelete
virDomainSnapshotFree               virDomainCheckpointFree
virDomainSnapshotRef                virDomainCheckpointRef

Operate on a child object to learn more about it:
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc         virDomainCheckpointGetXMLDesc
virDomainSnapshotGetConnect         virDomainCheckpointGetConnect
virDomainSnapshotGetDomain          virDomainCheckpointGetDomain
virDomainSnapshotGetName            virDomainCheckpiontGetName
virDomainSnapshotGetParent          virDomainCheckpiontGetParent
virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata        (deferred for later)
virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent          (no counterpart, see note above)

Operate on a domain object to list all children:
virDomainSnapshotNum                (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListNames           racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllSnapshots   virDomainListAllCheckpoints

Operate on a child object to list descendents:
virDomainSnapshotNumChildren        (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames   racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren    virDomainCheckpointListAllChildren

Operate on a domain to locate a particular child:
virDomainSnapshotLookupByName       virDomainCheckpointLookupByName
virDomainSnapshotCurrent            (no counterpart, see note above)
virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot         (no counterpart, old racy interface)

Operate on a snapshot to roll back to earlier state:
virDomainSnapshotRevert             (no counterpart, instead checkpoints
                                     are used in incremental backups via
				     XML to virDomainBackupBegin)

d85842cfd7 backup: Document new XML for checkpoints
Prepare for new checkpoint APIs by describing the XML that will
represent a checkpoint.  The checkpoint XML is modeled heavily after
virDomainSnapshotPtr. See the docs for more details.

Add testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML (bare minimum,
the sample from html, and a full dumpxml, and some counter-examples
that should fail schema validation). Although use of the REDEFINE flag
will require the <domain> subelement to be present, it is easier for
most of the tests to provide counterpart output produced with the
NO_DOMAIN flag (particularly since synthesizing a valid <domain>
during testing is not trivial).

5a148ce846 remote: delete the avahi mDNS support
Libvirtd has long had integration with avahi for advertising libvirtd
using mDNS when TCP/TLS listening is enabled. For a long time the
virt-manager application had support for auto-detecting libvirtds
on the local network using mDNS, but this was removed last year

  commit fc8f8d5d7e3ba80a0771df19cf20e84a05ed2422
  Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
  Date:   Sat Oct 6 20:55:31 2018 -0400

    connect: Drop avahi support

    Libvirtd can advertise itself over avahi. The feature is disabled by
    default though and in practice I hear of no one actually using it
    and frankly I don't think it's all that useful

    The 'Open Connection' wizard has a disproportionate amount of code
    devoted to this feature, but I don't think it's useful or worth
    maintaining, so let's drop it

I've never heard of any other applications having support for using
mDNS to detect libvirtd instances. Though it is theoretically possible
something exists out there, it is clearly going to be a niche use case
in the virt ecosystem as a whole.

By removing avahi integration we can cut down the dependency chain for
the basic libvirtd install and reduce our code maint burden.

ac88a8cfad docs: schemas: Add 'seclabel' for external disk snapshot
Allow using seclabels the same way as disk images allow it. Currently
the snapshot code copies the seclabels from the original image if no
seclabel is provided. Also there's no code change required as the
snapshot XML parser actually uses parts of the disk parser thus
seclabels are already parsed and formatted and even applied thus this is
just a formalization of our support for this.

cdd362e0e7 storage: escape ipv6 for ceph mon hosts to librados
Hosts for rbd are ceph monitor daemons. These have fixed IP addresses,
so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for
convenience, or to avoid relying on DNS. Using IPv4 addresses as the
host name works already, but IPv6 addresses require rbd-specific
escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the
string passed to librados.

Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets
so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

6394cf9768 network: convert hook script to take a network port XML
When (un)plugging an interface into a network, the 'plugged'
and 'unplugged' operations are invoked in the hook script.

The data provided to the script contains the network XML, the
domain XML and the domain interface XML. When we strictly split the
drivers up this will no longer be possible and thus breakage is
unavoidable. The hook scripts are not considered to be covered by the
API guarantee so this is OK.

To avoid existing scripts taking the wrong action, the existing
operations are changed to 'port-created' and 'port-deleted'
instead. These will receive the network XML and the network port
XML.

in some contributions not being accounted for.

I had to make some judgement calls when the situation was not
entirely clear-cut: when in doubt, and not finding any obvious
signs of the opposite being true, I mostly ended up dumping
people in the "unaffiliated contributions" bin. If I got it
wrong, and companies want to get recognition for their sponsored
contributions to libvirt, they can send patches.

a007fcab3b snapshot: Don't expose testsuite-only state in snapshot XML
None of the existing drivers actually use the 0-valued 'nostate'
snapshot state; rather, it was a fluke of implementation. In fact,
some drivers, like qemu, actively reject 'nostate' as invalid during a
snapshot redefine. Normally, a driver computes the state post-parse
from the current domain, and thus virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc() will
never expose the state. However, since the testsuite lacks any
associated domain to copy state from, and lacks post-parse processing
that normal drivers have, the testsuite output had several spots with
the state, coupled with a regex filter to ignore the oddity.

It is better to follow the lead of other XML defaults, by not
outputting anything during format if post-parse defaults have not been
applied, and rejecting the default value during parsing. The testsuite
needs a bit of an update, by adding another flag for when to simulate
a post-parse action of setting a snapshot state, but none of the
drivers are impacted other than rejecting XML that was previously
already suspicious in nature.

Similarly, don't expose creation time 0 (for now, only possible if a
user redefined a snapshot to claim creation at the Epoch, but also
happens once setting the creation time is deferred to a post-parse
handler).

This is also a step towards cleaning up snapshot_conf.c to separate
its existing post-parse work (namely, setting the creationTime and
default snapshot name) from the pure parsing work, so that we can get
rid of the testsuite hack of regex filtering of the XML and instead
have more accurate testing of our parser/formatter code.

5b9819eedc domain capabilities: Expose firmware auto selection feature
If a management application wants to use firmware auto selection
feature it can't currently know if the libvirtd it's talking to
support is or not. Moreover, it doesn't know which values that
are accepted for the @firmware attribute of <os/> when parsing
will allow successful start of the domain later, i.e. if the mgmt
application wants to use 'bios' whether there exists a FW
descriptor in the system that describes bios.

This commit then adds 'firmware' enum to <os/> element in
<domainCapabilities/> XML like this:

  <enum name='firmware'>
    <value>bios</value>
    <value>efi</value>
  </enum>

We can see both 'bios' and 'efi' listed which means that there
are descriptors for both found in the system (matched with the
machine type and architecture reported in the domain capabilities
earlier and not shown here).

a6a25d5cb6 snapshot: More clarification about REDEFINE
Based on recent list questions about the proposed addition of
virDomainCheckpointCreateXML(REDEFINE), it is worth adding some
clarification to the existing snapshot redefine documentation that is
serving as the basis for checkpoints.

Normal snapshot creation requires very few elements from the user XML
(libvirt can pick sane defaults for items that are omitted, and many
fields, including <domain>, are documented as readonly output fields
ignored on input, produced by drivers that track it). But during
REDEFINE, the API wants the complete XML produced by an earlier
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc; as the domain definition has likely
changed since the snapshot was first created, libvirt is unable to
recreate a <domain> sub-element that matches the original output
representing the domain state at the time the snapshot was first
created. In fact, reverting without a <domain> sub-element is risky
enough that we had to add a FORCE flag for virDomainSnapshotRevert().
In short, we only support omitting domain for qemu because of
backwards-compatibility to snapshots created before 0.9.5 started
capturing <domain>; even though there are other drivers like vbox that
do not output <domain> because they have other reliable ways to
revert.

And based on the confusion caused when omitting <domain> from snapshot
XML, the initial design for checkpoints in later patches will make
<domain> a mandatory element during its REDEFINE.

[Side note: the fact that <domain> can appear in <domainsnapshot> is a
reason we cannot add a new API for a bulk listing or redefine of all
snapshots of a single domain in one XML call (for example, a 1M
<domain> XML * 16 snapshots explodes into 16M in a bulk form, which
gets difficult to send over RPC). Perhaps we could add a flag to
request that the <domain> sub-element be omitted on output, but such
output is no longer suitable for sane REDEFINE input.]

09eb1ae0ec conf: Add a new 'xenbus' controller type
xenbus is virtual controller (akin to virtio controllers) for Xen
paravirtual devices. Although all Xen VMs have a xenbus, it has
never been modeled in libvirt, or in Xen native VM config format
for that matter.

Recently there have been requests to support Xen's max_grant_frames
setting in libvirt. max_grant_frames is best modeled as an attribute
of xenbus. It describes the maximum IO buffer space (or DMA space)
available in xenbus for use by connected paravirtual devices. This
patch introduces a new xenbus controller type that includes a
maxGrantFrames attribute.

d947fa8a08 conf: Introduce firmware attribute to <os/>
The idea is that using this attribute users enable libvirt to
automagically select firmware image for their domain. For
instance:

  <os firmware='efi'>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
    <loader secure='no'/>
  </os>

  <os firmware='bios'>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
  </os>

(The automagic of selecting firmware image will be described in
later commits.)

Accepted values are 'bios' and 'efi' to let libvirt select
corresponding type of firmware.

I know it is a good sign to introduce xml2xml test case when
changing XML config parser but that will have to come later.
Firmware auto selection is not enabled for any driver just yet so
any xml2xml test would fail right away.

ef41ff4219 conf: Add <hostdev model='virtio-{non-}transitional'/>
qemu vhost-scsi devices map to XML roughly like:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi_host'>
      <source protocol='vhost' wwpn=X/>
    </hostdev>

To support vhost-scsi-pci-{non-}traditional in qemu, we
need to to extend the SCSI Host hostdev XML to handle
model= value. This matches the XML model= format used
for mediated devices. This is just the domain_conf bits
and some XML test cases.

Use of virtio-X naming here does not match the hostdev
protocol=vhost nor does it match the qemu vhost-X device
naming, however it's more consistent with all other
model= names in this area, and also matches the
inconsistency of <vsock> devices which use model=virtio
but map to vhost-vsock on the qemu commandline

25d05051b3 conf: Add <disk model='virtio-{non-}transitional'/>
<disk> devices lack the model= attribute which is used by
most other device types. bus= mostly acts as one, but it
serves other purposes too like determing what target=
prefix to use, and for matching against controller type=
values.

Extending bus= to handle additional virtio transitional
devices will complicate apps lives, and it isn't a clean
mapping anyways. So let's bite the bullet and add a new
<disk model=X/> attribute, and wire up common handling
for virtio and virtio-{non-}transitional

ae05211a36 network: set firewalld zone of bridges to "libvirt" zone when appropriate
This patch restores broken guest network connectivity after a host
firewalld is switched to using an nftables backend. It does this by
adding libvirt networks' bridge interfaces to the new "libvirt" zone
in firewalld.

After this patch, the bridge interface of any network created by
libvirt (when firewalld is active) will be added to the firewalld
zone called "libvirt" if it exists (regardless of the firewalld
backend setting). This behavior does *not* depend on whether or not
libvirt has installed the libvirt zone file (set with
"--with[out]-firewalld-zone" during the configure phase of the package
build).

If the libvirt zone doesn't exist (either because the package was
configured to not install it, or possibly it was installed, but
firewalld doesn't support rule priorities, resulting in a parse
error), the bridge will remain in firewalld's default zone, which
could be innocuous (in the case that the firewalld backend is
iptables, guest networking will still function properly with the
bridge in the default zone), or it could be disastrous (if the
firewalld backend is nftables, we can be assured that guest networking
will fail). In order to be unobtrusive in the former case, and
informative in the latter, when the libvirt zone doesn't exist we
then check the firewalld version to see if it's new enough to support
the nftables backend, and then if the backend is actually set to
nftables, before logging an error (and failing the net-start
operation, since the network couldn't possibly work anyway).

When the libvirt zone is used, network behavior is *slightly*
different from behavior of previous libvirt. In the past, libvirt
network behavior would be affected by the configuration of firewalld's
default zone (usually "public"), but now it is affected only by the
"libvirt" zone), and thus almost surely warrants a release note for
any distro upgrading to libvirt 5.1 or above. Although it's
unfortunate that we have to deal with a mandatory behavior change, the
architecture of multiple hooks makes it impossible to *not* change
behavior in some way, and the new behavior is arguably better (since
it will now be possible to manage access to the host from virtual
machines vs from public interfaces separately).

80d1ed9773 conf: Introduce 'alignsize' element into xml for NVDIMM memory
NVDIMM emulation will mmap the backend file, it uses host pagesize
as the alignment of mapping address before, but some backends may
require alignments different from the pagesize. So the 'alignsize'
option is introduced to allow specification of the proper alignment:

<devices>
  ...
  <memory model='nvdimm' access='shared'>
      <source>
          <path>/dev/dax0.0</path>
          <alignsize unit='MiB'>2</alignsize>
      </source>
      <target>
          <size unit='MiB'>4094</size>
          <node>0</node>
          <label>
              <size unit='MiB'>2</size>
          </label>
      </target>
  </memory>
  ...
</devices>
