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 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.

Except a bunch of files for security driver, all others are changed
automatically, the copyright for securify files are not complete,
that's why to do it manually:
src/security/security_selinux.h

src/security/security_selinux.c
src/security/security_apparmor.h
src/security/security_apparmor.c

So far, CPUID data were stored in two different data structures. First
of them was a structure allowing direct access for CPUID data according
to function number and the second was a plain array of struct
cpuX86cpuid. This was a silly design which resulted in converting data
from one type to the other and back again or implementing similar
functionality for both data structures.
The patch leaves only the direct access structure. This makes the code
both smaller and more maintainable since operations on different objects
can use common low-level operations.
All 57 tests for cpu subsystem still pass after this rewrite.
Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
&forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
&disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
to the hypervisor
Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
allowed model names:
cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor
