2e09729b1c conf: Don't allow duplicated target names regardless of bus
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1142631

Commit id 'e0e290552' added a check to determine if the same bus
had the same target value.  It seems that's not quite good enough
as the check should check the target name value regardless of bus type.

Also added a DO_TEST_DIFFERENT to exhibit the issue

955d9bb8d0 qemu: report error when shmem has an invalid address
If user passes an invalid address for shared memory device to qemu,
neither libvirt nor qemu will report an error, but qemu will auto assign
a pci address to the shared memory device.

4edf01c92c Explicitly format the isa-fdc controller for newer q35 machines
Since QEMU commit ea96bc6 [1]:
i386: drop FDC in pc-q35-2.4+ if neither it nor floppy drives are wanted
the floppy controller is no longer implicit.

Specify it explicitly on the command line if the machine type version
is 2.4 or later.

Note that libvirt's floppy drives do not result in QEMU implying the
controller, because libvirt uses if=none instead of if=floppy.

ffbafd4e88 qemu: Avoid using ".(null)" in UNIX socket path
The code which generates paths for UNIX socket blindly used target name
without checking if it was set. Thus for the following device XML

    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind'/>
      <target type='virtio'/>
    </channel>

we would generate "/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/NAME.(null)"
path which works but is not really correct. Let's not use the
".target_name" suffix at all if target name is not set.

c79ebf53b5 conf: Validate disk lun using correct types
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1201143

The formatdomain.html description for <disk> device 'lun' indicates that
it must be either a type 'block' or type 'network' with protocol 'iscsi';
however, we did not make that check until domain startup.

This caused issues for virt-manager which had an unexpected failure at
run time rather config time.

This patch adds a check in post part disk device checking for the specific
and supported lun types as well as adjusting the test failure to be for
parse config rather than run time.

70d75ffc79 qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr: Honour passed @pagesize
So far the argument has not much meaning and was practically ignored.
This is not good since when doing memory hotplug, the size of desired
hugepage backing is passed in that argument. Taking closer look at the
tests I'm fixing reveals the bug. For instance, while the following is
in the test:

    <memory model='dimm'>
      <source>
        <nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
        <pagesize unit='KiB'>4096</pagesize>
      </source>
      <target>
        <size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
        <node>0</node>
      </target>
      <address type='dimm' slot='0' base='0x100000000'/>
    </memory>

the generated commandline corresponding to this XML was:

    -object memory-backend-ram,id=memdimm0,size=536870912,\
    host-nodes=1-3,policy=bind

Have you noticed? Yes, memory-backend-ram! Nothing can be further away
from the right answer. The hugepage backing is requested in the XML
and we happily ignore it. This is just not right. It's
memory-backend-file which should have been used:

    -object memory-backend-file,id=memdimm0,prealloc=yes,\
    mem-path=/dev/hugepages4M/libvirt/qemu,size=536870912,\
    host-nodes=1-3,policy=bind

The problem is, that @pagesize passed to qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr
(where this part of commandline is built) was ignored. The hugepage to
back memory was searched only and only by NUMA nodes pinning. This
works only for regular guest NUMA nodes.

Then, I'm changing the hugepages size in the test XMLs too. This is
simply because in the test suite we create dummy mount points just for
2M and 1G hugepages. And in the test 4M was requested. I'm sticking to
2M, but 1G should just work too.

f8e9deb1d4 qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr: Fix hugepages lookup process
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196644

This function constructs the backend (host facing) part of the
memory device.  At the beginning, the configured hugepages are
searched to find the best match for given guest NUMA node.
Configured hugepages can have a @nodeset attribute to specify on
which guest NUMA nodes should be the hugepages backing used.
There is, however, one 'corner case'. Users may just tell 'use
hugepages to back all the nodes'. In other words:

  <memoryBacking>
    <hugepages/>
  </memoryBacking>

  <cpu>
    <numa>
      <cell id='0' cpus='0-1' memory='1024000' unit='KiB'/>
    </numa>
  </cpu>

Our code fails in this case. Well, since there's no @nodeset (nor
any <page/> child element to <hugepages/>) we fail to lookup the
default hugepage size to use.

548ba43028 qemu: remove test for allowing ide controller in s390, rename usb tests
Back in 2013, commit 877bc089 added in some tests that made sure no
error was generated on a domain definition that had an automatically
added usb controller if that domain didn't have a PCI bus to attach
the usb controller to. This was done because, at that time, libvirt
was automatically adding a usb controller to *any* domain definition
that didn't have one.  Along with permitting the controller, two
s390-specific tests were added to ensure this behavior was maintained
- one with <controller type='usb' model='none'/> and another (called
"s390-piix-controllers") that had both usb and ide controllers, but
nothing attached to them.

Then in February of this year, commit 09ab9dcc eliminated the annoying
auto-adding of a usb device for s390 and s390x machines, stating:

 "Since s390 does not support usb the default creation of a usb
  controller for a domain should not occur."

Although, as verified here, the s390 doesn't support usb, and usb
controllers aren't currently added to s390 domain definitions
automatically, there are likely still some domain definitions in the
wild that have a usb controller (which was added *by libvirt*, not by
the user), so we will keep the tests verifying that behavior for
now. But this patch changes the names of the tests to reflect that
they don't actually contain a valid s390 config; this way future
developers won't propagate the incorrect idea that an s390 virtual
machine can have a USB (or IDE) bus.

In the case of the IDE controller, though, libvirt has never
automatically added an IDE controller unless a user added an IDE disk
(which itself would have caused an error), and we specifically *do*
want to begin generating an error when someone tries to add an IDE
controller to a domain that can't support one. For that reason, while
renaming the sz390-piix-controllers patch, this patch removes the
<controller type='ide'...> from it (otherwise the upcoming patch would
break make check)

8910e063db caps: Fix regression defaulting to host arch
My commit 747761a79 (v1.2.15 only) dropped this bit of logic when filling
in a default arch in the XML:

-    /* First try to find one matching host arch */
-    for (i = 0; i < caps->nguests; i++) {
-        if (caps->guests[i]->ostype == ostype) {
-            for (j = 0; j < caps->guests[i]->arch.ndomains; j++) {
-                if (caps->guests[i]->arch.domains[j]->type == domain &&
-                    caps->guests[i]->arch.id == caps->host.arch)
-                    return caps->guests[i]->arch.id;
-            }
-        }
-    }

That attempt to match host.arch is important, otherwise we end up
defaulting to i686 on x86_64 host for KVM, which is not intended.
Duplicate it in the centralized CapsLookup function.

Additionally add some testcases that would have caught this.

8d4614a512 qemu: Use domain iothreadids to IOThread's 'thread_id'
Add 'thread_id' to the virDomainIOThreadIDDef as a means to store the
'thread_id' as returned from the live qemu monitor data.

Remove the iothreadpids list from _qemuDomainObjPrivate and replace with
the new iothreadids 'thread_id' element.

Rather than use the default numbering scheme of 1..number of iothreads
defined for the domain, use the iothreadid's list for the iothread_id

Since iothreadids list keeps track of the iothread_id's, these are
now used in place of the many places where a for loop would "know"
that the ID was "+ 1" from the array element.

The new tests ensure usage of the <iothreadid> values for an exact number
of iothreads and the usage of a smaller number of <iothreadid> values than
iothreads that exist (and usage of the default numbering scheme).

4bca6192f2 conf: Make specifying <memory> optional
Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA
configuration (if present) make it optional to specify <memory>
explicitly.

To make sure that memory is specified add a check that some form of
memory size was specified. One side effect of this change is that it is
no longer possible to specify 0KiB as memory size for the VM, but I
don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded
systems without memory, just registers, but that's far from what libvirt
is usually doing).

Forbidding 0 memory for guests also fixes a few corner cases where 0 was
not interpreted correctly and caused failures. (Arguments for numad when
using automatic placement, size of the balloon). This fixes problems
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161461

Test case changes are added to verify that the schema change and code

4bbe1029f2 qemu: fix ifindex array reported to systemd
Commit f7afeddc added code to report to systemd an array of interface
indexes for all tap devices used by a guest. Unfortunately it not only
didn't add code to report the ifindexes for macvtap interfaces
(interface type='direct') or the tap devices used by type='ethernet',
it ended up sending "-1" as the ifindex for each macvtap or hostdev
interface. This resulted in a failure to start any domain that had a
macvtap or hostdev interface (or actually any type other than
"network" or "bridge").

This patch does the following with the nicindexes array:

1) Modify qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine() to only fill in the
nicindexes array if given a non-NULL pointer to an array (and modifies
the test jig calls to the function to send NULL). This is because
there are tests in the test suite that have type='ethernet' and still
have an ifname specified, but that device of course doesn't actually
exist on the test system, so attempts to call virNetDevGetIndex() will
fail.

2) Even then, only add an entry to the nicindexes array for
appropriate types, and to do so for all appropriate types ("network",
"bridge", and "direct"), but only if the ifname is known (since that
is required to call virNetDevGetIndex().

af20423264 virQEMUCapsCacheLookupCopy: Filter qemuCaps based on machineType
Not all machine types support all devices, device properties, backends,
etc. So until we create a matrix of [machineType, qemuCaps], lets just
filter out some capabilities before we return them to the consumer
(which is going to make decisions based on them straight away).
Currently, as qemu is unable to tell which capabilities are (not)
enabled for given machine types, it's us who has to hardcode the matrix.
One day maybe the hardcoding will go away and we can create the matrix
dynamically on the fly based on a few monitor calls.

7832fac847 qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr: Report backend requirement more appropriately
So, when building the '-numa' command line, the
qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() function does quite a lot of checks to
chose the best backend, or to check if one is in fact needed. However,
it returned that backend is needed even for this little fella:

  <numatune>
    <memory mode="strict" nodeset="0,2"/>
  </numatune>

This can be guaranteed via CGroups entirely, there's no need to use
memory-backend-ram to let qemu know where to get memory from. Well, as
long as there's no <memnode/> element, which explicitly requires the
backend. Long story short, we wouldn't have to care, as qemu works
either way. However, the problem is migration (as always). Previously,
libvirt would have started qemu with:

  -numa node,memory=X

in this case and restricted memory placement in CGroups. Today, libvirt
creates more complicated command line:

  -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=X
  -numa node,memdev=ram-node0

Again, one wouldn't find anything wrong with these two approaches.
Both work just fine. Unless you try to migrated from the older libvirt
into the newer one. These two approaches are, unfortunately, not
compatible. My suggestion is, in order to allow users to migrate, lets
use the older approach for as long as the newer one is not needed.
