Currently, -machine option is used only when dump-guest-core is set.
To use options defined in machine option for newer version of QEMU,
it needs to use -machine xxx, and to be compatible with older version
-M, this patch adds QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_OPT capability for newer
version which supports -machine option.

Allow migration over IPv6 by listening on [::] instead of 0.0.0.0
when QEMU supports it (QEMU_CAPS_IPV6_MIGRATION) and there is
at least one v6 address configured on the system.
Use virURIParse in qemuMigrationPrepareDirect to allow parsing
IPv6 addresses, which would cause an 'incorrect :port' error
message before.
Move setting of migrateFrom from qemuMigrationPrepare{Direct,Tunnel}
after domain XML parsing, since we need the QEMU binary path from it
to get its capabilities.

The "dtb" option sets the filename for the device tree.
If without this option support, "-dtb file" will be converted into
<qemu:commandline> in domain XML file.
For example, '-dtb /media/ram/test.dtb' will be converted into
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-dtb'/>
<qemu:arg value='/media/ram/test.dtb'/>
</qemu:commandline>
This is not very friendly.
This patchset add special <dtb> tag like <kernel> and <initrd>
which is easier for user to write domain XML file.

<initrd>/media/ram/ramdisk</initrd>

It seems I missed a few -device flags when doing this last time and I
mixed up qemu and qemu-kvm.
Currently it's assumed that qemu always supports VNC, however it is
definitely possible to compile qemu without VNC support so we should at
the very least check for it and handle that correctly.
With the recent introduction of QMP capabilities probing, libvirt failed
to detect support for QXL graphics in QEMU 1.2 and newer. In addition to
fixing that, this patch also causes libvirt to detect QXL support for
qemu-kvm-0.13.0, which doesn't advertise it in -help output but mentions
it in device list. Since qemu-kvm-0.13.0 supported -spice, it looks like
not having qxl in -help was a bug.
Currently the qemuCapsParseDeviceStr method has a bunch of open
coded string searches/comparisons to detect devices and their
properties. Soon this data will be obtained from QMP queries
instead of -device help output. Maintaining the list of device
and properties in two places is undesirable. Thus the existing
qemuCapsParseDeviceStr() method needs to be refactored to
separate the device types and properties from the actual
search code.
Thus the -device help output is now parsed to construct a
list of device names, and device properties. These are then
checked against a set of datatables to set the capability
flags

The "dump-guest-core' option is new option for the machine type
(-machine pc,dump-guest-core) that controls whether the guest memory
will be marked as dumpable.
While testing this, I've found out that the value for the '-M' options
is not parsed correctly when additional parameters are used. However,
when '-machine' is used for the same options, it gets parsed as
expected. That's why this patch also modifies the parsing and creating
of the command line, so both '-M' and '-machine' are recognized. In
QEMU's help there is only mention of the 'machine parameter now with
no sign of the older '-M'.
The current qemu capabilities are stored in a virBitmapPtr
object, whose type is exposed to callers. We want to store
more data besides just the flags, so we need to move to a
struct type. This object will also need to be reference
counted, since we'll be maintaining a cache of data per
binary. This change introduces a 'qemuCapsPtr' virObject
class. Most of the change is just renaming types and
variables in all the callers

After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit

QEMU 1.1.0 has been officially released. With 1.1.0 QEMU went back to
three-digits version even for the initial release and I renamed the data

Thanks to this new option we are now able to use modern CPU models (such
as Westmere) defined in external configuration file.
The qemu-1.1{,-device} data files for qemuhelptest are filled in with
qemu-1.1-rc2 output for now. I will update those files with real
qemu-1.1 output once it is released.
A "ide-drive" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
Upstream qemu splitted "ide-drive" into "ide-hd" and "ide-cd"
since commit 1f56e32, and ",media=cdrom" is not required for
ide-cd anymore. "ide-drive" is still supported for backwards
compatibility, but no doubt we should go foward.
A "scsi-disk" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
But upstream qemu splitted "scsi-disk" into "scsi-hd" and
"scsi-cd" since commit b443ae, and ",media=cdrom" is not
required for scsi-cd anymore. "scsi-disk" is still supported
for backwards compatibility, but no doubt we should go
foward.
The qemu developers have made it clear that modern qemu will no
longer guarantee human monitor command stability; furthermore,
some features, such as async events, are only supported via qmp.
If we are compiled without support for handling JSON, we cannot
expect to sanely interact with modern qemu.
However, things must continue to build on RHEL 5, where qemu
is stuck at 0.10, and where yajl is not available.
Another benefit of this patch: future additions of new monitor
commands need only focus on qemu_monitor_json.c, instead of
also wasting time with qemu_monitor_text.c.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags): Report
error if yajl is missing but qemu requires qmp.
(qemuCapsParseHelpStr): Propagate error.
(qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo): Update caller.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c (testHelpStrParsing): Likewise.
I'm getting tired of remembering to backport RHEL-specific
patches when building upstream libvirt on RHEL 6.x or CentOS.
All the affected versions of RHEL qemu-kvm have backported
enough patches to a) make JSON useful, and b) modify the
-help text to mention libvirt as the preferred interface;
which means this string in the help output is a reliable
indicator that we can outsmart a strict version check,
even when upstream qemu 0.12 lacked the needed features.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags):
Recognize particular help string present when enough features were
backported to be worth using JSON.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c (mymain): Update tests accordingly.
This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.
When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.
As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.
device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:
1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).
2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
-device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).
Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter
*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.
Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.
Latest patch a1a83c5874 introduces new qemu capability flag
QEMU_CAPS_FSDEV_READONLY. However, it was missing in qemuhelptest
making test for qemu-1.0 fail.
Currently non-x86 guests must have <acpi/> defined in <features> to
prevent libvirt from running qemu with -no-acpi. Although it works, it
is a hack.
Instead add a capability flag which indicates whether qemu understands
the -no-acpi option. Use it to control whether libvirt emits -no-acpi.
Current versions of qemu always display -no-acpi in their help output,
so this patch has no effect. However the development version of qemu
has been modified such that -no-acpi is only displayed when it is
actually supported.

Rather than making all clients of monitor commands that are JSON-only
check whether yajl support was compiled in, it is simpler to just
avoid setting the capability bit up front if we can't use the capability.

Now that RHEL 6.2 Beta is out, it would be nice to test multifunction
devices on that platform. This changes things so that the multifunction
cap bit can be set in two different ways: by version comparison (needed
for qemu 0.13 which lacked a -device query), and by -device query
(provided by qemu.git and backported to the RHEL beta build of
qemu-kvm which still claims to be a modified 0.12, and therefore needed
for RHEL).
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsParseDeviceStr): Allow
second method of setting multifunction cap bit.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c (mymain): Test it.
* tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-rhel62-beta: New file.

This patch was made in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes
it in the libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE),
as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe
is supported.
* Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.
This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".
For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
