Debian's package manager will preserve mtime timestamp on binaries
from the time they are built, rather than installed. So if a
user downgrades their QEMU dpkg, the libvirt capabilities
cache will not refresh. The fix is to use ctime instead of mtime
since it cannot be faked.

Auditing all callers of virCommandRun and virCommandWait that
passed a non-NULL pointer for exit status turned up some
interesting observations. Many callers were merely passing
a pointer to avoid the overall command dying, but without
caring what the exit status was - but these callers would
be better off treating a child death by signal as an abnormal
exit. Other callers were actually acting on the status, but
not all of them remembered to filter by WIFEXITED and convert
with WEXITSTATUS; depending on the platform, this can result
in a status being reported as 256 times too big. And among
those that correctly parse the output, it gets rather verbose.
Finally, there were the callers that explicitly checked that
the status was 0, and gave their own message, but with fewer
details than what virCommand gives for free.
So the best idea is to move the complexity out of callers and
into virCommand - by default, we return the actual exit status
already cleaned through WEXITSTATUS and treat signals as a
failed command; but the few callers that care can ask for raw
status and act on it themselves.

Add a new backend for any character device. This backend uses channel
in spice connection. This channel is similar to spicevmc, but
all-purpose in contrast to spicevmc.
Apart from spicevmc, spiceport-backed chardev will not be formatted
into the command-line if there is no spice to use (with test for that
as well). For this I moved the def->graphics counting to the start
of the function so its results can be used in rest of the code even in

This patch fixes a segmentation fault when creating new virtual machines using QEMU.
The segmentation fault is caused by commit f41830680e40d3ec845cefd25419bd87414b9ccf
and commit cbb6ec42e2447d7920b30d66923b2a2b2670133b.
In virQEMUCapsProbeQMPMachineTypes, when copying machines to qemuCaps, "none" is skipped.
Therefore, the value of i and "qemuCaps->nmachineTypes - 1" do not always match.
However, defIdx value (used to call virQEMUCapsSetDefaultMachine) is set using the value in i
when the array elements are in qemuCaps->nmachineTypes - 1.
So, when libvirt tries to create virtual machines using the default machine type,
qemuCaps->machineTypes[defIdx] is accessed and since the defIdx is NULL, it results in segmentation fault.

On a system that is enforcing FIPS, most libraries honor the
current mode by default. Qemu, on the other hand, refused to
honor FIPS mode unless you add the '-enable-fips' command
line option; worse, this option is not discoverable via QMP,
and is only present on binaries built for Linux. So, if we
detect FIPS mode, then we unconditionally ask for FIPS; either
qemu is new enough to have the option and then correctly
cripple insecure VNC passwords, or it is so old that we are
correctly avoiding a FIPS violation by preventing qemu from
starting. Meanwhile, if we don't detect FIPS mode, then
omitting the argument is safe whether the qemu has the option
(but it would do nothing because FIPS is disabled) or whether
qemu lacks the option (including in the case where we are not
running on Linux).
The testsuite was a bit interesting: we don't want our test
to depend on whether it is being run in FIPS mode, so I had
to tweak things to set the capability bit outside of our
normal interaction with capability parsing.

(which was already closed as CANTFIX because the qemu "-boot strict"
commandline option wasn't available at the time).
Problem: you couldn't have a domain that used PXE to boot, but also
had an un-bootable disk device *even if that disk wasn't listed in the
boot order*, because if PXE timed out (e.g. due to the bridge
forwarding delay), the BIOS would move on to the next target, which
would be the unbootable disk device (again - even though it wasn't
given a boot order), and get stuck at a "BOOT DISK FAILURE, PRESS ANY
KEY" message until a user intervened.
The solution available since sometime around QEMU 1.5, is to add
"-boot strict=on" to *every* qemu command. When this is done, if any
devices have a boot order specified, then QEMU will *only* attempt to
boot from those devices that have an explicit boot order, ignoring the
rest.
The 'none' machine type is something only intended for use
by libvirt probing capabilities. It isn't something that
is useful for running real VM instances. As such it should
not be exposed to users in the capabilities.

I've noticed a SIGSEGV-ing libvirtd on the destination when the qemu

1) [Thread 3493] We are in qemuMigrationPrepareAny() and calling
qemuProcessStart() which subsequently calls qemuProcessWaitForMonitor()
and qemuConnectMonitor(). So far so good. The qemuMonitorOpen()
succeeds, however switching monitor to QMP mode fails as qemu died
meanwhile. That is qemuMonitorSetCapabilities() returns -1.

However, qemu is dead already, remember?

3) [Thread 3493] qemuProcessStart() failed. No big deal. Go to the
'endjob' label and subsequently to the 'cleanup'. Since the domain is
not persistent and ret is -1, the qemuDomainRemoveInactive() is called.
This has an (unpleasant) effect of virObjectUnref()-in the @vm object.
Unpleasant because the event loop which is about to trigger EOF callback
still holds a pointer to the @vm (not the reference). See the valgrind
output below.
4) [Thread 3262] So the event loop starts triggering EOF:
2013-10-08 15:54:13.542+0000: 3262: debug : qemuMonitorIO:729 : Triggering EOF callback

And the monitor is cleaned up. This results in calling
qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF with the @vm pointer passed. The pointer is
kept in qemuMonitor struct.

This device is identical to qemu's "intel-hda" device (known as "ich6"
in libvirt), but has a different PCI device ID (which matches the ID
of the hda audio built into the ich9 chipset, of course). It's not
supported in earlier versions of qemu, so it requires a capability
bit.
Starting with qemu 1.6, the qemu-system-arm vexpress-a9 model has a
hardcoded virtio-mmio transport which enables attaching all virtio
devices.
On the command line, we have to use virtio-XXX-device rather than
virtio-XXX-pci, thankfully s390 already set the precedent here so
it's fairly straight forward.
At the XML level, this adds a new device address type virtio-mmio.
The controller and addressing don't have any subelements at the
moment because we they aren't needed for this usecase, but could
be added later if needed.
Add a test case for an ARM guest with one of every virtio device
enabled.
QEMU ARM boards don't give us any way to explicitly wire in
a -chardev, so use the old style -serial options.
Unfortunately this isn't as simple as just turning off the CHARDEV flag
for qemu-system-arm, as upcoming virtio support _will_ use device/chardev.
Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.
To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

This PCI controller, named "dmi-to-pci-bridge" in the libvirt config,
and implemented with qemu's "i82801b11-bridge" device, connects to a
PCI Express slot (e.g. one of the slots provided by the pcie-root
controller, aka "pcie.0" on the qemu commandline), and provides 31
*non-hot-pluggable* PCI (*not* PCIe) slots, numbered 1-31.
Any time a machine is defined which has a pcie-root controller
(i.e. any q35-based machinetype), libvirt will automatically add a
dmi-to-pci-bridge controller if one doesn't exist, and also add a
pci-bridge controller. The reasoning here is that any useful domain
will have either an immediate (startup time) or eventual (subsequent
hot-plug) need for a standard PCI slot; since the pcie-root controller
only provides PCIe slots, we need to connect a dmi-to-pci-bridge
controller to it in order to get a non-hot-plug PCI slot that we can
then use to connect a pci-bridge - the slots provided by the
pci-bridge will be both standard PCI and hot-pluggable.
Since pci-bridge devices themselves can not be hot-plugged into a
running system (although you can hot-plug other devices into a
pci-bridge's slots), any new pci-bridge controller that is added can
(and will) be plugged into the dmi-to-pci-bridge as long as it has
empty slots available.
This patch is also changing the qemuxml2xml-pcie test from a "DO_TEST"
to a "DO_DIFFERENT_TEST". This is so that the "before" xml can omit
the automatically added dmi-to-pci-bridge and pci-bridge devices, and
the "after" xml can include it - this way we are testing if libvirt is
properly adding these devices.
