When autodetecting whether XML describes guest or host CPU, the presence
of <arch> element is checked. If it's present, we treat the XML as host
CPU definition. Which is right, since guest CPU definitions do not
contain <arch> element. However, if at the same time the root <cpu>
element contains `match' attribute, we would silently ignore it and
still treat the XML as host CPU. We should rather refuse such invalid
XML.
By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
Received report of user crashing libvirtd with
virsh capabilities > capabilities.xml
virsh cpu-compare capabilities.xml
While user has been informed about proper usage of cpu-compare,
segfaulting libvirt should be avoided.
Do not parse CPU definition in virCPUDefParseXML() if XML is not
a 'cpu' node.
The virConnectPtr is no longer required for error reporting since
that is recorded in a thread local. Remove use of virConnectPtr
from all APIs in cpu_conf.{h,c} and update all callers to
match
Currently CPU topology may only be specified together with CPU model:
<cpu match='exact'>
<model>name</model>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='3'/>
</cpu>
This patch allows for CPU topology specification without the need for
also specifying CPU model:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='3'/>
</cpu>
'match' attribute and 'model' element are made optional with the
restriction that 'match' attribute has to be set when 'model' is
present.
