Since libvirt switched to QMP capabilities probing recently, it starts
QEMU process used for this probing with -daemonize, which means
virCommandAbort can no longer reach these processes. As a result of
that, restarting libvirtd will leave several new QEMU processes behind.
Let's use QEMU's -pidfile and use it to kill the process when QMP caps
probing is done.
Start a QEMU process using
$QEMU -S -no-user-config -nodefaults \
-nographic -M none -qmp unix:/some/path,server,nowait
and talk QMP over stdio to discover what capabilities the
binary supports. This works for QEMU 1.2.0 or later and
for older QEMU automatically fallback to the old approach
of parsing -help and related command line args.

The help output for QEMU 1.2.0 changed 'pci-assign' to 'kvm-pci-assign'.
Since the new capabilities code does exact device name matching
instead of substring matching, this caused the capabilities to go
missing.

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 qemuMonitorSetCapabilities() API is used to initialize the QMP

libvirt internal capabilities based on command/event existance too.

capabilities source file instead

When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover
the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a
simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This
avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the
startup path.
As a nice benefit we can now remove all the nasty hacks from
the test suite which were done to avoid having to exec QEMU
on the test system. The building of the -cpu command line
can just rely on data we pre-populate in qemuCapsPtr.

Recently, there have been some improvements made to qemu so it
supports seamless migration or something very close to it.
However, it requires libvirt interaction. Once qemu is migrated,
the SPICE server needs to send its internal state to the destination.
Once it's done, it fires SPICE_MIGRATE_COMPLETED event and this
fact is advertised in 'query-spice' output as well.
We must not kill qemu until SPICE server finishes the transfer.

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'.
This series adds support to run QEMU with seccomp sandbox enabled. It can be
configured in qemu.conf to on, off, or the QEMU default, which is off in 1.2.
Default value is the QEMU default.
This assumes ide-drive.wwn, ide-hd.wwn, ide-cd.wwn were supported
at the same time, similar for scsi-disk.wwn, scsi-hd.wwn, and
scsi-cd.wwn. So only two new caps (QEMU_CAPS_IDE_DRIVE_WWN,
and QEMU_CAPS_SCSI_DISK_WWN) are introduced.
Introduce a qemuCapsNewForBinary() API which creates a new
QEMU capabilities object, populated with data relating to
a specific QEMU binary. The qemuCaps object is also given

The current qemu capabilities are stored in a virBitmapPtr

The previous check for YAJL would have many undesirable
consequences, the most important being that it caused the
capabilities XML to lose all <guest> elements. There is
no user visible feedback as to what is wrong in this respect,
merely a syslog message. The empty capabilities causes
libvirtd to then throw away all guest XML configs that are
stored.
This changes the code so that the check for YAJL is only
performed at the time we attempt to spawn a QEMU process

Even though qemu-kvm binaries can be used in TCG mode, libvirt would
only detect them if /dev/kvm was available. Thus, one would need to make
a /usr/bin/qemu symlink to be able to use TCG mode with qemu-kvm in an
environment without KVM support.
And even though QEMU is able to make use of KVM, libvirt would not
advertise KVM support unless there was a qemu-kvm symlink available.
This patch fixes both issues.

Commit 6e769eba made it a runtime error if libvirt was compiled

when trying to use the built executable.

QEMU binary is called several times when we probe different kinds of

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.
RHEL 6.2 was released with an early version of block jobs, which only
worked on the qed file format, where the commands were spelled with
underscore (contrary to QMP style), and where 'block_job_cancel' was
synchronous and did not trigger an event.
The upcoming qemu 1.1 release has fixed these short-comings [1][2]:
the commands now work on multiple file types, are spelled with dash,
and 'block-job-cancel' is asynchronous and emits an event upon conclusion.

This patch recognizes the new spellings, and fixes virDomainBlockRebase

Reported by Cole Robinson.
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.

I'm getting tired of remembering to backport RHEL-specific

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.
There was missing capability for blkiotune and thus specifying these
settings caused libvirt to run qemu with invalid parameters and then
reporting qemu error instead of the standard libvirt one. The support

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.
This patch adds two capabilities flags to deal with various aspects
of supporting SG_IO commands on virtio-blk-pci devices:
QEMU_CAPS_VIRTIO_BLK_SCSI
set if -device virtio-blk-pci accepts the scsi="on|off" option
When present, this is on by default, but can be set to off to disable
SG_IO functions.
QEMU_CAPS_VIRTIO_BLK_SG_IO
set if SG_IO commands are supported in the virtio-blk-pci driver
(present since qemu 0.11 according to a qemu developer, if I
understood correctly)
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.

When parsing ppc64 models on an x86 host an out-of-memory error message is displayed due

This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
The default console type may vary based on the OS type. ie a Xen

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).

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.
SIGTERM handling for -no-shutdown is already fixed in qemu git and
libvirt can safely use it. The downside is that 0.15.50 version of qemu
can be any qemu compiled from git, even that without the fix for
SIGTERM. However, I think this patch is worth it since excluding 0.15.50
from the check makes testing current qemu with libvirt much easier and
someone running qemu from git should be able to rebuild fixed qemu from
git if they hit the problem with a hang on shutdown.
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 $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe
is supported.
* Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.
This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".
Newer QEMU introduced cache=directsync for -drive, this patchset
is to expose it in libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_DIRECTSYNC),
As even $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't known if directsync
is supported.
In some versions of qemu, both virtio-blk-pci and virtio-net-pci
devices can have an event_idx setting that determines some details of
event processing. When it is enabled, it "reduces the number of
interrupts and exits for the guest". qemu will automatically enable
this feature when it is available, but there may be cases where this
new feature could actually make performance worse (NB: no such case
has been found so far).
As a safety switch in case such a situation is encountered in the
field, this patch adds a new attribute "event_idx" to the <driver>
element of both disk and interface devices. event_idx can be set to
"on" (to force event_idx on in case qemu has it disabled by default)
or "off" (for force event_idx off). In the case that event_idx support
isn't present in qemu, the attribute is ignored (this on the advice of
the qemu developer).

This patch creates new <bios> element which, at this time has only the
attribute useserial='yes|no'. This attribute allow users to use
Serial Graphics Adapter and see BIOS messages from the very first moment
domain boots up. Therefore, users can choose boot medium, set PXE, etc.
Add libvirt support for MicroBlaze architecture as a QEMU target. Based on mips/mipsel pattern.

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.
NB: the enum that uses the string vnet-host (now changed to vhost-net)
is used in XML, but fortunately that hasn't been in an official
release yet, so it can still be fixed.
This was discussed in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-May/msg01370.html
The capabilities code only sets the flag to allow use of vhost-net if
kvm is detected (set if the help string contains "(qemu-kvm-" or
"(kvm-"), but actually vhost-net is available in some qemu builds that
don't have kvm in their name, so just checking for ",vhost=" is enough.
These VIR_XXXX0 APIs make us confused, use the non-0-suffix APIs instead.
How do these coversions works? The magic is using the gcc extension of ##.
When __VA_ARGS__ is empty, "##" will swallow the "," in "fmt," to
avoid compile error.
example: origin after CPP
high_level_api("%d", a_int) low_level_api("%d", a_int)
high_level_api("a string") low_level_api("a string")
About 400 conversions.
8 special conversions:
VIR_XXXX0("") -> VIR_XXXX("msg") (avoid empty format) 2 conversions
VIR_XXXX0(string_literal_with_%) -> VIR_XXXX(%->%%) 0 conversions
VIR_XXXX0(non_string_literal) -> VIR_XXXX("%s", non_string_literal)
(for security) 6 conversions

To cope with the QEMU binary being changed while a VM is running,
it is neccessary to persist the original qemu capabilities at the
time the VM is booted.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c, src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h: Add
an enum for a string rep of every capability
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Support for
storing capabilities in the domain status XML
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Populate & free QEMU capabilities at
domain startup
When initializing qemu guest capabilities, we should ignore qemu
binaries that we are not able to extract version/help info from since
they will be unusable for creating domains anyway. Ignoring them is also
much better than letting initialization of qemu driver fail.
This simplifies several callers that were repeating checks already
guaranteed by util.c, and makes other callers more robust to now
reject directories. remote_driver.c was over-strict - access(,R_OK)
is only needed to execute a script file; a binary only needs
access(,X_OK) (besides, it's unusual to see a file with x but not
r permissions, whether script or binary).

For qemu names the primary vga as "qxl-vga":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE,...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device, (use the default
set by global):
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
For qemu names all qxl devices as "qxl":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE ...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
"-global" is the only way to define vram_size for the primary qxl
device, regardless of how qemu names it, (It's not good a good
way, as original idea of "-global" is to set a global default for
a driver property, but to specify vram for first qxl device, we
have to use it).
For other qxl devices, as they are represented by "-device", could
specify it directly and seperately for each, and it overrides the
default set by "-global" if specified.
v1 - v2:
* modify "virDomainVideoDefaultRAM" so that it returns 16M as the
default vram_size for qxl device.
* vram_size * 1024 (qemu accepts bytes for vram_size).
* apply default vram_size for qxl device for which vram_size is
not specified.
* modify "graphics-spice" tests (more sensiable vram_size)
* Add an argument of virDomainDefPtr type for qemuBuildVideoDevStr,
to use virDomainVideoDefaultRAM in qemuBuildVideoDevStr).
v2 - v3:
* Modify default video memory size for qxl device from 16M to 24M
* Update codes to be consistent with changes on qemu_capabilities.*
This is done for two reasons:
- we are getting very close to 64 flags which is the maximum we can use
with unsigned long long
- by using LL constants in enum we already violates C99 constraint that
enum values have to fit into int
This is in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662
Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS should be set in the function
qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo()
The flag QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS is used in the function
qemuBuildDeviceAddressStr(). All callers get qemuCmdFlags
by the function qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() except that
testCompareXMLToArgvFiles() in qemuxml2argvtest.c.
So we should set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS in the function
qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() instead of qemuBuildCommandLine()
because the function qemuBuildCommandLine() does not be called
when we attach a pci device.
tests: set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS in testCompareXMLToArgvFiles()
set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS before calling qemuBuildCommandLine()
as the flags is not set by qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo().

qemu 0.13.0 (at least as built for Fedora 14, and also backported to

In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.
This is basically Dan's proposal of
<sound model='ich6'>
<codec type='output' slot='0'/>
<codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
</sound>
without the codec bits implemented.
The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:
- every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
manually specified)
- <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
- new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
<sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models
v2:
Use model='ich6'
v3:
Use feature detection, from eblake
Set codec id, bus, and cad values
v4:
intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available

Comment spelling fixes
Fixes regression introduced in commit 2211518, where all qemu 0.12.x
fails to start, as does qemu 0.13.x lacking the pci-assign device.
Prior to 2211518, the code was just ignoring a non-zero exit status
from the qemu child, but the virCommand code checked this to avoid
masking any other issues, which means the real bug of provoking
non-zero exit status has been latent for a longer time.
