Most of QEMU's PCI display device models, such as:
libvirt video/model/@type QEMU -device
------------------------- ------------
cirrus cirrus-vga
vga VGA
qxl qxl-vga
virtio virtio-vga
come with a linear framebuffer (sometimes called "VGA compatibility
framebuffer"). This linear framebuffer lives in one of the PCI device's
MMIO BARs, and allows guest code (primarily: firmware drivers, and
non-accelerated OS drivers) to display graphics with direct memory access.
Due to architectural reasons on aarch64/KVM hosts, this kind of
framebuffer doesn't / can't work in
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) -M virt
machines. Cache coherency issues guarantee a corrupted / unusable display.
The problem has been researched by several people, including kvm-arm
maintainers, and it's been decided that the best way (practically the only
way) to have boot time graphics for such guests is to consolidate on
QEMU's "virtio-gpu-pci" device.
>From <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195176>, libvirt
supports
<devices>
<video>
<model type='virtio'/>
</video>
</devices>
but libvirt unconditionally maps @type='virtio' to QEMU's "virtio-vga"
device model. (See the qemuBuildDeviceVideoStr() function and the
"qemuDeviceVideo" enum impl.)
According to the above, this is not right for the "virt" machine type; the
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) binaries don't even recognize the "virtio-vga"
device model (justifiedly). Whereas "virtio-gpu-pci", which is a pure
virtio device without a compatibility framebuffer, is available, and works
fine.
(The ArmVirtQemu ("AAVMF") platform of edk2 -- that is, the UEFI firmware
for "virt" -- supports "virtio-gpu-pci", as of upstream commit
3ef3209d3028. See
<https://tianocore.acgmultimedia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=66>.)
Override the default mapping of "virtio", from "virtio-vga" to
"virtio-gpu-pci", if qemuDomainMachineIsVirt() evaluates to true.

Add a new TLS X.509 certificate type - "chardev". This will handle the
creation of a TLS certificate capability (and possibly repository) for
properly configured character device TCP backends.
Unlike the vnc and spice there is no "listen" or "passwd" associated. The

a specific backend.

When the user doesn't specify any model for a USB controller,
we use an architecture-dependent default, but we don't reflect
it in the guest XML.
Pick the default USB controller model when parsing the guest
XML instead of when creating the QEMU command line, so that
our choice is saved back to disk.

Add the definitions to allow for viewing/setting cgroup period and quota
limits for IOThreads.
This is similar to the work done for emulator quota and period by
commit ids 'b65dafa' and 'e051c482'.
Being able to view/set the IOThread specific values is related to more
recent changes adding global period (commmit id '4d92d58f') and global
quota (commit id '55ecdae') definitions and qemu support (commit id
'4e17ff79' and 'fbcbd1b2'). With a global setting though, if somehow
the IOThread value in the cgroup hierarchy was set "outside of libvirt"
to a value that is incompatible with the global value.
Allowing control over IOThread specific values provides the capability
to alter the IOThread values as necessary.
To allow using failover with gluster it's necessary to specify multiple
volume hosts. Add support for starting qemu with such configurations.

We were requiring a USB port path in the schema, but not enforcing it.
Omitting the USB port would lead to libvirt formatting it as (null).
Such domain cannot be started and will disappear after libvirtd restart
(since it cannot parse back the XML).
Only format the port if it has been specified and mark it as optional
in the XML schema.
Commit id's '9bbf0d7e6' and '2552fec24' added some XML parsing tests
for a LUKS volume to use a 'passphrase' secret format. After commit,
this was deemed to be incorrect, so covert the various tests to use
the volume usage format where the 'usage' is the path to the volume
rather than a user defined name string.
Also, removed the qemuxml2argv-luks-disk-cipher.xml since it was
just a duplicate of qemuxml2argv-luks-disks.xml.

For type='ethernet' interfaces only.
(This patch had been pushed earlier in
commit 0b4645a7e0, but was reverted in
commit 84d47a3cce because it had been
accidentally pushed during the freeze for release 2.0.0)
In order to use more common code and set up for a future type, modify the
encryption secret to allow the "usage" attribute or the "uuid" attribute
to define the secret. The "usage" in the case of a volume secret would be
the path to the volume as dictated by the backwards compatibility brought
on by virStorageGenerateQcowEncryption where it set up the usage field as
the vol->target.path and didn't allow someone to provide it. This carries
into virSecretObjListFindByUsageLocked which takes the secret usage attribute
value from from the domain disk definition and compares it against the
usage type from the secret definition. Since none of the code dealing
with qcow/qcow2 encryption secrets uses usage for lookup, it's a mostly
cosmetic change. The real usage comes in a future path where the encryption
is expanded to be a luks volume and the secret will allow definition of
the usage field.
This code will make use of the virSecretLookup{Parse|Format}Secret common code.

There has been some progress lately in enabling virtio-pci on
aarch64 guests; however, guest OS support is still spotty at best,
so most guests are going to be using virtio-mmio instead.
Currently, mach-virt guests are closely modeled after q35 guests,
and that includes always adding a dmi-to-pci-bridge that's just
impossible to get rid of. While that's acceptable (if suboptimal)
for q35, where you will always need some kind of PCI device anyway,
mach-virt guests should be allowed to avoid it.
Until now, a Q35 domain (or arm/virt, or any other domain that has a
pcie-root bus) would always have a pci-bridge added, so that there
would be a hotpluggable standard PCI slot available to plug in any PCI
devices that might be added. This patch removes the explicit add,
instead relying on the pci-bridge being auto-added during PCI address
assignment (it will add a pci-bridge if there are no free slots).
This doesn't eliminate the dmi-to-pci-bridge controller that is
explicitly added whether or not a standard PCI slot is required (and
that is almost never used as anything other than a converter between
pcie.0's PCIe slots and standard PCI). That will be done separately.
This option allows or disallows detection of zero-writes if it is set to
"on" or "off", respectively. It can be also set to "unmap" in which
case it will try discarding that part of image based on the value of the
"discard" option.

This new listen type is currently supported only by spice graphics.
It's introduced to make it easier and clearer specify to not listen
anywhere in order to start a guest with OpenGL support.
The old way to do this was set spice graphics autoport='no' and don't
specify any ports. The new way is to use <listen type='none'/>. In
order to be able to migrate to old libvirt the migratable XML will be
generated without the listen element and with autoport='no'. Also the
old configuration will be automatically converted to the this listen
type.

VNC graphics already supports sockets but only via 'socket' attribute.
This patch coverts that attribute into listen type 'socket'.
For backward compatibility we need to handle listen type 'socket' and 'socket'
attribute properly to support old XMLs and new XMLs. If both are provided they
have to match, if only one of them is provided we need to be able to parse that
configuration too.
To not break migration back to old libvirt if the socket is provided by user we
need to generate migratable XML without the listen element and use only 'socket'
attribute.

Hand-entering indexes for 20 PCI controllers is not as tedious as
manually determining and entering their PCI addresses, but it's still
annoying, and the algorithm for determining the proper index is
incredibly simple (in all cases except one) - just pick the lowest
unused index.
The one exception is USB2 controllers because multiple controllers in
the same group have the same index. For these we look to see if 1) the
most recently added USB controller is also a USB2 controller, and 2)
the group *that* controller belongs to doesn't yet have a controller
of the exact model we're just now adding - if both are true, the new
controller gets the same index, but in all other cases we just assign
the lowest unused index.
With this patch in place and combined with the automatic PCI address
assignment, we can define a PCIe switch with several ports like this:
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-upstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
...
These will each get a unique index, and PCI addresses that connect
them together appropriately with no pesky numbers required.
Add a new element to <domain> XML:
<os>
<acpi>
<table type="slic">/path/to/acpi/table/file</table>

Rather than only assigning a PCI address when no address is given at
all, also do it when the config says that the address type is 'pci',
but it gives no address (virDeviceInfoPCIAddressWanted()).
There are also several places after parsing but prior to address
assignment where code previously expected that any info with address
type='pci' would have a *valid* PCI address, which isn't always the
case - now we check not only for type='pci', but also for a valid
address (virDeviceInfoPCIAddressPresent()).
The test case added in this patch was directly copied from Cole's patch titled:
qemu: Wire up address type=pci auto_allocate
Commit 55320c23 introduced a new test for VNC to test if
vnc_auto_unix_socket is set in qemu.conf, but forget to enable it in
qemuxml2argvtest.c.
This patch also moves the code in qemuxml2xmltest.c next to other VNC
tests and refactor the test so we also check the case for parsing active
XML.

The only case where the hardware capabilities influence the result
is when no <gic/> element was provided.
The test programs now ensure both that the correct GIC version is
picked in that case, and that hardware capabilities are not taken
into account when the user has already picked a GIC version.
We support omitting listen attribute of graphics element so we should
also support omitting address attribute of listen element. This patch

Add the ability to add an 'iothread' to the controller which will be how
virtio-scsi-pci and virtio-scsi-ccw iothreads have been implemented in qemu.
Describe the new functionality and add tests to parse/validate that the
new attribute can be added.
Similarly to what commit 7140807917 did with some internal paths,
clear vnc socket paths that were generated by us. Having such path in
the definition can cause trouble when restoring the domain. The path is
generated to the per-domain directory that contains the domain ID.
However, that ID will be different upon restoration, so qemu won't be
able to create that socket because the directory will not be prepared.
To be able to migrate to older libvirt, skip formatting the socket path
in migratable XML if it was autogenerated. And mark it as autogenerated
if it already exists and we're parsing live XML.
Best viewed with '-C'.

While working on the tests for the secret initialization vector, I found
that the existing iSCSI tests were lacking in how they defined the IQN.
Many had IQN's of just 'iqn.1992-01.com.example' for one disk while using
'iqn.1992-01.com.example/1' for the second disk (same for hostdevs - guess
how they were copied/generated).
Typically (and documented this way), IQN's would include be of the form
'iqn.1992-01.com.example:storage/1' indicating an IQN using "storage" for
naming authority specific string and "/1" for the iSCSI LUN.
So modify the input XML's to use the more proper format - this of course
has a ripple effect on the output XML and the args.
Also note that the "%3A" is generated by the virURIFormat/xmlSaveUri
to represent the colon.

This controller provides a single PCIe port on a new root. It is
similar to pci-expander-bus, intended to provide a bus that can be
associated with a guest-identifiable NUMA node, but is for
machinetypes with PCIe rather than PCI (e.g. q35-based machinetypes).
Aside from PCIe vs. PCI, the other main difference is that a
pci-expander-bus has a companion pci-bridge that is automatically
attached along with it, but pcie-expander-bus has only a single port,
and that port will only connect to a pcie-root-port, or to a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. In order for the bus to be of any use in
the guest, it must have either a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-upstream-port attached (and one or more
pcie-switch-downstream-ports attached to the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).
This is backed by the qemu device "pxb".
The pxb device always includes a pci-bridge that is at the bus number
of the pxb + 1.
busNr and <node> from the <target> subelement are used to set the
bus_nr and numa_node options for pxb.
During post-parse we validate that the domain's machinetype is
440fx-based (since the pxb device only works on 440fx-based machines),
and <node> also gets a sanity check to assure that the NUMA node
specified for the pxb (if any - it's optional) actually exists on the
guest.
This is a standard PCI root bus (not a bridge) that can be added to a
440fx-based domain. Although it uses a PCI slot, this is *not* how it
is connected into the PCI bus hierarchy, but is only used for
control. Each pci-expander-bus provides 32 slots (0-31) that can
accept hotplug of standard PCI devices.
The usefulness of pci-expander-bus relative to a pci-bridge is that
the NUMA node of the bus can be specified with the <node> subelement
of <target>. This gives guest-side visibility to the NUMA node of
attached devices (presuming that management apps only assign a device
to a bus that has a NUMA node number matching the node number of the
device on the host).
Each pci-expander-bus also has a "busNr" attribute. The expander-bus
itself will take the busNr specified, and all buses that are connected
to this bus (including the pci-bridge that is automatically added to
any expander bus of model "pxb" (see the next commit)) will use
busNr+1, busNr+2, etc, and the pci-root (or the expander-bus with next
lower busNr) will use bus numbers lower than busNr.
When support for dmi-to-pci-bridge was added, it was assumed that,
just as with the pci-root bus, slot 0 was reserved. This is not the
case - it can be used to connect a device just like any other slot, so
remove the restriction and update the test cases that auto-assign an
address on a dmi-to-pci-bridge.
Commit dc98a5bc refactored the code a lot and forget about checking if
listen attribute is specified. This ensures that listen attribute and
first listen element are compared only if both exist.

This patch adds support for "vpindex", "runtime", "synic",
"stimer", and "vendor_id" features available in qemu 2.5+.
- When Hyper-V "vpindex" is on, guest can use MSR HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX
to get virtual processor ID.
- Hyper-V "runtime" enlightement feature allows to use MSR
HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME to get the time the virtual processor consumes
running guest code, as well as the time the hypervisor spends running
code on behalf of that guest.
- Hyper-V "synic" stands for Synthetic Interrupt Controller, which is
lapic extension controlled via MSRs.
- Hyper-V "stimer" switches on Hyper-V SynIC timers MSR's support.
Guest can setup and use fired by host events (SynIC interrupt and
appropriate timer expiration message) as guest clock events
- Hyper-V "reset" allows guest to reset VM.
- Hyper-V "vendor_id" exposes hypervisor vendor id to guest.
