A microcode update can cause the CPUID bits to change; an example
from the past was the update that disabled TSX on several Haswell
and Broadwell machines.
Therefore, place microcode version in the virQEMUCaps struct and
XML, and rebuild the cache if the versions do not match.

Detect the capability via the query-qmp-schema for blockdev-add

'share-rw' for the disk device configures qemu to allow concurrent
access to the backing storage.
The capability is checked in various supported disk frontend buses since
it does not make sense to partially backport it.
This capability says if qemu is capable of specifying distances
between NUMA nodes on the command line. Unfortunately, there's no
real way to check this and thus we have to go with version check.
QEMU introduced this in 0f203430dd8 (and friend) which was

Most of the time it's okay to leave this up to negotiation between

manually decide the behavior, especially to enforce its availability.

The architecture itself is called ppc64, and it can run both in big
endian and little endian mode - the latter is known as ppc64le.
From the (virtual) hardware point of view, ppc64 is a more accurate
name so it should be used here.

query-cpu-definitions QMP command returns a list of unavailable features
which prevent CPU models from being usable on the current host. So far
we only checked whether the list was empty to mark CPU models as

model and stores them in virDomainCapsCPUModel as a list of usability
blockers.

Using the query-qmp-schema introspection - look for the 'vxhs'
blockdevOptions type.
NB: This is a "best effort" type situation as there is not a
mechanism to determine whether the running QEMU has been
built with '--enable-vxhs'. All we can do is check if the
option to use vxhs for a blockdev-add exists in the command
infrastructure which does not take that into account when
building its table of commands and options.

For reference, these were generated by updating a local qemu git
repository to the latest upstream, making sure the latest dependencies
were met via "dnf builddep qemu" from my sufficiently privileged root
account, checking out the v2.10.0 tag, and building in order to generate
an "x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64" image.
Then using a clean libvirt tree updated to master and built, the image
was then provided as input:
tests/qemucapsprobe /path/to/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 > \
tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.10.0.x86_64.replies
With the .replies file in place and the DO_TEST line added and build,
then running the following commands:
touch tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.10.0.x86_64.xml
VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT=1 ./tests/qemucapabilitiestest

Add kernel_irqchip=split/on to the QEMU command line

This patch maps /domain/cpu/cache element into -cpu parameters:
- <cache mode='passthrough'/> is translated to host-cache-info=on
- <cache level='3' mode='emulate'/> is transformed into l3-cache=on
- <cache mode='disable'/> is turned in host-cache-info=off,l3-cache=off
Any other <cache> element is forbidden.
The tricky part is detecting whether QEMU supports the CPU properties.
The 'host-cache-info' property is introduced in v2.4.0-1389-ge265e3e480,
earlier QEMU releases enabled host-cache-info by default and had no way
to disable it. If the property is present, it defaults to 'off' for any
QEMU until at least 2.9.0.
The 'l3-cache' property was introduced later by v2.7.0-200-g14c985cffa.
Earlier versions worked as if l3-cache=off was passed. For any QEMU
until at least 2.9.0 l3-cache is 'off' by default.
QEMU 2.9.0 was the first release which supports probing both properties
by running device-list-properties with typename=host-x86_64-cpu. Older
QEMU releases did not support device-list-properties command for CPU
devices. Thus we can't really rely on probing them and we can just use
query-cpu-model-expansion QMP command as a witness.
Because the cache property probing is only reliable for QEMU >= 2.9.0
when both are already supported for quite a few releases, we let QEMU
report an error if a specific cache mode is explicitly requested. The
other mode (or both if a user requested CPU cache to be disabled) is
explicitly turned off for QEMU >= 2.9.0 to avoid any surprises in case
the QEMU defaults change. Any older QEMU already turns them off so not
doing so explicitly does not make any harm.

CPU features which change their value from disabled to enabled between
two calls to query-cpu-model-expansion (the first with no extra
properties set and the second with 'migratable' property set to false)
can be marked as enabled and non-migratable in qemuMonitorCPUModelInfo.
Since the code consuming qemuMonitorCPUModelInfo currently ignores the
migratable flag, this change is effectively changing the CPU model
advertised in domain capabilities to contain all features (even those
which block migration). And this matches what we do for QEMU older than
2.9.0, when we detect all CPUID bits ourselves without asking QEMU.
As a result of this change
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<feature name='invtsc' policy='require'/>
</cpu>
will work with all QEMU versions. Such CPU definition would be forbidden
with QEMU >= 2.9.0 without this patch.

If calling query-cpu-model-expansion on the 'host'/'max' CPU model with

The event is fired when a given block backend node (identified by the

block-set-write-threshold QMP command. This wires up the monitor code to
extract the data and allow us receiving the events and the capability.
QEMU 2.9 introduces the pcie-root-port device, which is
a generic version of the existing ioh3420 device.
Make the new device available to libvirt users.
The static CPU model expansion is designed to return only canonical
names of all CPU properties. To maintain backwards compatibility libvirt
is stuck with different spelling of some of the features, but we need to
use the full expansion to get the additional spellings. In addition to
returning all spelling variants for all properties the full expansion
will contain properties which are not guaranteed to be migration
compatible. Thus, we need to combine both expansions. First we need to
call the static expansion to limit the result to migratable properties.
Then we can use the result of the static expansion as an input to the
full expansion to get both canonical names and their aliases.
