Direct boot (using kernel, initrd, and command line) is used by
virt-install/virt-manager for network install. While any bootindex has
no direct effect since -kernel is always first, we need it as a hint for
SeaBIOS to present disks in the same order as they will be presented
during normal boot.
It's better to group all the metadata together. This is a
cosmetic output change; since the RNG allows interleave, it
doesn't matter where the user stuck it on input, and an XPath
query will find the same information when parsing the output.

Applications can now insert custom nodes and hierarchies into domain
configuration XML. Although currently not enforced, applications are
required to use their own namespaces on every custom node they insert,
with only one top-level element per namespace.
POLLIN and POLLHUP are not mutually exclusive. Currently the following
seems possible: the child writes 3K to its stdout or stderr pipe, and
immediately closes it. We get POLLIN|POLLHUP (I'm not sure that's possible
on Linux, but SUSv4 seems to allow it). We read 1K and throw away the
rest.
When poll() returns and we're about to check the /revents/ member in a
given array element, let's map all the revents bits to two (independent)
ideas: "let's attempt to read()", and "let's attempt to write()". This
should cover all errors, EOFs, and normal conditions; the read()/write()
call should report any pending error.
Under this approach, both POLLHUP and POLLERR are mapped to "needs read()"
if we're otherwise prepared for POLLIN. POLLERR also maps to "needs
write()" if we're otherwise prepared for POLLOUT. The rest of the mappings
(POLLPRI etc.) would be easy, but probably useless for pipes.
Additionally, SUSv4 doesn't appear to forbid POLLIN|POLLERR (or
POLLOUT|POLLERR) set simultaneously. One could argue that the read() or
write() call would return without blocking in these cases (with an error),
so POLLIN / POLLOUT would be justified beside POLLERR.
The code now penalizes POLLIN|POLLERR differently from plain POLLERR. The
former (ie. read() returning -1) is terminal and we jump to cleanup, while
plain POLLERR masks only the affected file descriptor for the future.
Let's unify those.

Extend the 'shutdown' and 'reboot' methods so that they both
accept a new argument
--mode acpi|agent
* tools/virsh.c: New args for shutdown/reboot
* tools/virsh.pod: Document new args
This makes use of the QEMU guest agent to implement the
virDomainShutdownFlags and virDomainReboot APIs. With
no flags specified, it will prefer to use the agent, but
fallback to ACPI. Explicit choice can be made by using
a suitable flag
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Wire up use of agent
Add a new API virDomainShutdownFlags and define:
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_DEFAULT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_ACPI_POWER_BTN = (1 << 0),
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_GUEST_AGENT = (1 << 1),
Also define some flags for the reboot API
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_DEFAULT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_ACPI_POWER_BTN = (1 << 0),
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_GUEST_AGENT = (1 << 1),
Although these two APIs currently have the same flags, using
separate enums allows them to expand separately in the future.
Add stub impls of the new API for all existing drivers
There is now a standard QEMU guest agent that can be installed
and given a virtio serial channel
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
The protocol that runs over the guest agent is JSON based and
very similar to the JSON monitor. We can't use exactly the same
code because there are some odd differences in the way messages
and errors are structured. The qemu_agent.c file is based on
a combination and simplification of qemu_monitor.c and
qemu_monitor_json.c
* src/qemu/qemu_agent.c, src/qemu/qemu_agent.h: Support for
talking to the agent for shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add thread
helpers for talking to the agent
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Connect to agent whenever starting
a guest
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Make variable static
Since we already require the kernel to be new enough to support
LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR, we might as well also require glibc to be
new enough to support epoll_create1().
* configure.ac (with_lxc): We require glibc 2.9 for LXC.

When converting a linear enum to a string, we have checks in
place in the VIR_ENUM_IMPL macro to ensure that there is one
string for every value, which lets us quickly flag if a user
added a value but forgot to add a counterpart string. However,
this only works if we use the _LAST marker.

Although this is a public API break, it only affects users that
were compiling against *_LAST values, and can be trivially
worked around without impacting compilation against older
headers, by the user defining VIR_ENUM_SENTINELS before using
libvirt.h. It is not an ABI break, since enum values do not
appear as .so entry points. Meanwhile, it prevents users from
using non-stable enum values without explicitly acknowledging
the risk of doing so.

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.
Given an LXC guest with a root filesystem path of
/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root
During startup, we will pivot the root filesystem to end up
at
/.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root
We then try to open
/.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
Now consider if '/export/lxc' is an absolute symlink pointing
to '/media/lxc'. The kernel will try to open
/media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
whereas it should be trying to open
/.oldroot//media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
To deal with the fact that the root filesystem can be moved,
we need to resolve symlinks in *any* part of the filesystem
source path.
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/util/util.c,
src/util/util.h: Add virFileResolveAllLinks to resolve

pciTrySecondaryBusReset checks if there is active device on the
same bus, however, qemu driver doesn't maintain an effective
list for the inactive devices, and it passes meaningless argument
for parameter "inactiveDevs". e.g. (qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices)
if (!(pcidevs = qemuGetPciHostDeviceList(hostdevs, nhostdevs)))
return -1;
..skipped...
if (pciResetDevice(dev, driver->activePciHostdevs, pcidevs) < 0)
goto reattachdevs;
NB, the "pcidevs" used above are extracted from domain def, and
thus one won't be able to attach a device of which bus has other
device even detached from host (nodedev-detach). To see more
details of the problem:
RHBZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773667
This patch is to resolve the problem by introducing an inactive
PCI device list (just like qemu_driver->activePciHostdevs), and
the whole logic is:
* Add the device to inactive list during nodedev-dettach
* Remove the device from inactive list during nodedev-reattach
* Remove the device from inactive list during attach-device
(for non-managed device)
* Add the device to inactive list after detach-device, only
if the device is not managed
With the above, we have a sufficient inactive PCI device list, and thus
we can use it for pciResetDevice. e.g.(qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices)
if (pciResetDevice(dev, driver->activePciHostdevs,
driver->inactivePciHostdevs) < 0)
goto reattachdevs;
Execute bit on *.stp files in examples/systemtap/ caused dependency when

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.

In the past we didn't reserve 0:0:2.0 PCI address if there was no video
device assigned to a domain, which made it impossible to add a video
device later on. So we fixed it (commit v0.9.0-37-g7b2cac1) by always
reserving that address. However, that breaks existing domains without
video devices that already have another device assigned to the
problematic address.
This patch reserves address 0:0:2.0 only in case it was not explicitly
assigned to another device, which means libvirt will try to keep this
address free and will not automatically assign it new devices. But
existing domains for which older libvirt already assigned the address to
a non-video device will keep working as they used to work before 0.9.1.
Moreover, users who want to create a domain without a video device and
use its address for another device may do so by explicitly configuring
the PCI address in domain XML.

There are several reasons for doing this:
- the CPU specification is out of libvirt's control so we cannot
guarantee stable guest ABI
- not every feature of a CPU may actually work as expected when
advertised directly to a guest
- migration between two machines with exactly the same CPU may work but
no guarantees can be made
- this mode is not supported and its use is at one's own risk
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag for virDomainGetXMLDesc may be used to
get updated custom mode guest CPU definition in case it depends on host
CPU. This patch implements the same behavior for host-model and
host-passthrough CPU modes.
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.
It's not totally obvious that a failure in
CPU guest data(x86): host/guest (models, pref="qemu64")
test means one needs to fix
x86-host+guest,models,qemu64-result.xml
where the expected XML is stored. Better to provide a nice hint in
verbose mode for failed tests.
