2da776b1d6 qemu: Don't blindly assume VNC is supported
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.

5d692cc714 fix kvm_pv_eoi with kvmclock
When both kvmclock and kvm_pv_eoi are configured (either disabled or
enabled) libvirt will generate invalid CPU specification due to the
fact that even though kvmclock causes the CPU to be specified, it
doesn't set have_cpu flag to true (and the new kvm_pv_eoi as well).
This patch fixes the issue and adds a test exactly for that to show
that it is fixed correctly (and also to keep it that way in the future
of course).

ed769e1854 Remove probing of CPU models when launching QEMU guests
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.

bd66c243b3 Remove probing of machine types when canonicalizing XML
When XML for a new guest is received, the machine type is
immediately canonicalized into the version specific name.
This involves probing QEMU for supported machine types.
Replace this probing with a lookup of the machine types

fbf9aa12c7 qemu: Add support for EOI with APIC
This patch adds full support for EOI setting for domains. Because this
is CPU feature (flag), the model needs to be added even when it's not
specified. Fortunately this problem was already solved with kvmclock,
so this patch simply abuses that.

And due to the size of the patch (17 lines) I dared to include the tests.

beac09fd68 Turn QEMU capabilities object into a full virObjectPtr
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

72f1f2206e Rename iolimit to blockio.
After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit
element as it creates the impression it would be there to
limit (i.e. throttle) I/O instead of specifying immutable
characteristics of a block device.
This is also backed by the fact that the term I/O Limits has
vanished from newer storage admin documentation.

7508338ff3 Fix for parallel port passthrough for QEMU
I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.

It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0

The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".

If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.

I have already filled a bug report (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823879 ), the topic was
already on the list some months ago:

97010eb1f1 numad: Set memory policy from numad advisory nodeset
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.

This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:

  <numatune>
    <memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
  </numatune>

Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.

If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".

The following XML can now fully drive numad:

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
   <numatune>.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave'/>
   </numatune>

And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
   </numatune>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'

   <vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
   </numatume>

A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.

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

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

06a1a45cef test: fix build errors with gcc 4.7.0 and -O0
When building on Fedora 17 (which uses gcc 4.7.0) with -O0 in CFLAGS,
three of the tests failed to compile.

cputest.c and qemuxml2argvtest.c had non-static structs defined
inside the macro that was being repeatedly invoked. Due to some so-far
unidentified change in gcc, the stack space used by variables defined
inside { } is not recovered/re-used when the block ends, so all these
structs have become additive (this is the same problem worked around
in commit cf57d345b). Fortunately, these two files could be fixed with
a single line addition of "static" to the struct definition in the
macro.

virnettlscontexttest.c was a bit different, though. The problem structs
in the do/while loop of macros had non-constant initializers, so it
took a bit more work and piecemeal initialization instead of member
initialization to get things to be happy.

In an ideal world, none of these changes should be necessary, but not
knowing how long it will be until the gcc regressions are fixed, and
since the code is just as correct after this patch as before, it makes
sense to fix libvirt's build for -O0 while also reporting the gcc
problem.

9943276fd2 Cleanup for a return statement in source files
Return statements with parameter enclosed in parentheses were modified
and parentheses were removed. The whole change was scripted, here is how:

List of files was obtained using this command:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' |             \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$'

Found files were modified with this command:
sed -i -e                                                                 \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'

Then checked for nonsense.

The whole command looks like this:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' |             \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$' | xargs sed -i -e                            \

8639a42059 qemu: support type='hostdev' network devices at domain start
This patch makes sure that each network device ("interface") of
type='hostdev' appears on both the hostdevs list and the nets list of
the virDomainDef, and it modifies the qemu driver startup code so that
these devices will be presented to qemu on the commandline as hostdevs
rather than as network devices.

It does not add support for hotplug of these type of devices, or code
to honor the <mac address> or <virtualport> given in the config (both
of those will be done in separate patches).

Once each device is placed on both lists, much of what this patch does
is modify places in the code that traverse all the device lists so
that these hybrid devices are only acted on once - either along with
the other hostdevs, or along with the other network interfaces. (In
many cases, only one of the lists is traversed / a specific operation
is performed on only one type of device. In those instances, the code
can remain unchanged.)

There is one special case - when building the commandline, interfaces
are allowed to proceed all the way through
networkAllocateActualDevice() before deciding to skip the rest of
netdev-specific processing - this is so that (once we have support for
networks with pools of hostdev devices) we can get the actual device
allocated, then rely on the loop processing all hostdevs to generate
the correct commandline.

(NB: <interface type='hostdev'> is only supported for PCI network
devices that are SR-IOV Virtual Functions (VF). Standard PCI[e] and
USB devices, and even the Physical Functions (PF) of SR-IOV devices
can only be assigned to a guest using the more basic <hostdev> device
entry. This limitation is mostly due to the fact that non-SR-IOV
ethernet devices tend to lose mac address configuration whenever the
card is reset, which happens when a card is assigned to a guest;
SR-IOV VFs fortunately don't suffer the same problem.)

3284ac046f qemu: (and conf) support rombar for network devices
When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.

After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).

b66d1bef14 qemu: parse and create -cpu ...,-kvmclock
QEMU supports a bunch of CPUID features that are tied to the kvm CPUID
nodes rather than the processor's.  They are "kvmclock",
"kvm_nopiodelay", "kvm_mmu", "kvm_asyncpf".  These are not known to
libvirt and their CPUID leaf might move if (for example) the Hyper-V
extensions are enabled. Hence their handling would anyway require some
special-casing.

However, among these the most useful is kvmclock; an additional
"property" of this feature is that a <timer> element is a better model
than a CPUID feature.  Although, creating part of the -cpu command-line
from something other than the <cpu> XML element introduces some
ugliness.

4c82f09ef0 Added capability checking for block <iotune> setting.
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
for blkiotune setting was added in upstream qemu repo under commit
0563e191516289c9d2f282a8c50f2eecef2fa773.

d9e0d8204b Add new attribute wrpolicy to <driver> element
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.
