cb12c59dac qemu: support for kvm-hint-dedicated performance hint
QEMU version 2.12.1 introduced a performance feature under commit
be7773268d98 ("target-i386: add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint")

This patch adds a new KVM feature 'hint-dedicated' to set this performance
hint for KVM guests. The feature is off by default.

To enable this hint and have libvirt add "-cpu host,kvm-hint-dedicated=on"
to the QEMU command line, the following XML code needs to be added to the
guest's domain description in conjunction with CPU mode='host-passthrough'.

  <features>
    <kvm>
      <hint-dedicated state='on'/>
    </kvm>
  </features>
  ...
  <cpu mode='host-passthrough ... />

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).

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

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).

464a41bc0d qemu: delete methods which are no longer supported
The public API entry points will report VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT to the
caller when a driver does not provide an implementation of a particular
method.

When deleting methods, leaving the driver API entry point explicitly
set to NULL with an version range comment, allows the hvsupport.html
page to document when the AP was removed.

c6da5913d9 qemu: Add support for controling qemu capabilities via the qemu XML namespace
Similarly how we allow adding arbitrary command line arguments and
environment variables this patch introduces the ability to control
libvirt's perception of the qemu process by tweaking the capability bits
for testing purposes.

The idea is to allow developers and users either test a new feature by
enabling it early or disabling it to see whether it introduced
regressions.

This feature is not meant for production use though, so users should
handle it with care.

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.

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.

18006c696d gitdm: Add gitdm configuration
This configuration can be used by gitdm to generate reports about

The goal I was working with was being able to generate a report
for every single libvirt release and having zero "email address
as company" entries; picking different commit ranges might result
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.
