Host-model CPU definitions (and domain capabilities) will use the
original CPU models (without noTSX in their name) and explicitly disable
hle and rtm features. This way domains with host-model CPUs will be
migratable even to older versions of libvirt which do not support the
noTSX model variants.
The new models will be advertised in host capabilities and they may
be used explicitly with custom CPUs.

One of the mitigation methods for TAA[1] is to disable TSX
support on the host system. Linux added a mechanism to disable
TSX globally through the kernel command line, and many Linux
distributions now default to tsx=off. This makes existing CPU
models that have HLE and RTM enabled not usable anymore.
Add new versions of all CPU models that have the HLE and RTM
features enabled, that can be used when TSX is disabled in the
host system.
On systems disabling the features without those types defined
in cpu-maps users end up without modern CPU types in the list
of usable CPUs to use in the likes of virsh domcapabilities
or tools higher in the stack like virt-manager.

Recently CPU hardware vendors have started to support a new structure
inside the CPU package topology known as a "die". Thus the hierarchy
is now:
sockets > dies > cores > threads
This adds support for "dies" in the XML parser, with the value
defaulting to 1 if not specified for backwards compatibility.
For example a system with 64 logical CPUs might report
<topology sockets="4" dies="2" cores="4" threads="2"/>

The pconfig feature was enabled in QEMU by accident in 3.1.0. All other
newer versions do not support it and it was removed from the
Icelake-Server CPU model in QEMU.
We don't normally change our CPU models even when QEMU does so to avoid
breaking migrations between different versions of libvirt. But we can
safely do so in this specific case. QEMU never supported enabling
pconfig so any domain which was able to start has pconfig disabled.
With a small compatibility hack which explicitly disables pconfig when
CPU model equals Icelake-Server in migratable domain definition, only
one migration scenario stays broken (and there's nothing we can do about
it): from any host to a host with libvirt < 5.10.0 and QEMU > 3.1.0.

This patch adds an inline python code for reading MSR features. Since
reading MSRs is a privileged operation, we have to read them from
/dev/cpu/*/msr if it is readable (i.e., the script runs as root) or
fallback to using KVM ioctl which can be done by any user that can start
virtual machines.
The python code is inlined rather than provided in a separate script
because whenever there's an issue with proper detection of CPU features,
we ask the reporter to run cpu-gather.sh script to give us all data we
need to know about the host CPU. Asking them to run several scripts
would likely result in one of them being ignored or forgotten.

The API is no longer used anywhere else since it was replaced by a much
saner work flow utilizing new APIs that work on virCPUDefPtr directly:
virCPUCompare, virCPUUpdate, and virCPUTranslate.
Not testing the new work flow caused some bugs to be hidden. This patch
reveals them, but doesn't attempt to fix them. To make sure all test
still pass after this patch, all affected test results are modified to
pretend the tests succeeded. All of the bugs will be fixed in the
following commits and the artificial modifications will be reverted.
The following is the list of bugs in the new CPU model work flow:
- a guest CPU with mode='custom' and missing <vendor/> gets the vendor
copied from host's CPU (the vendor should only be copied to host-model
CPUs):
DO_TEST_UPDATE("x86", "host", "min", VIR_CPU_COMPARE_IDENTICAL)
DO_TEST_UPDATE("x86", "host", "pentium3", VIR_CPU_COMPARE_IDENTICAL)
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host-better", "pentium3", NULL, 0)
- when a guest CPU with mode='custom' needs to be translated into
another model because the original model is not supported by a
hypervisor, the result will have its vendor set to the vendor of the
original CPU model as specified in cpu_map.xml even if the original
guest CPU XML didn't contain <vendor/>:
DO_TEST_GUESTCPU("x86", "host", "guest", model486, 0)

In some cases preferred model doesn't really do anything since the
result remains the same even if it is removed.

Using a preferred CPU model which is not in the list of CPU models
supported by a hypervisor does not make sense.

Guest CPUs with match='minimum' should always be updated to match host
CPU model. Trying to get different results by supplying preferred models
does not make sense.

The reworked API is now called virCPUUpdate and it should change the
provided CPU definition into a one which can be consumed by the QEMU
command line builder:
- host-passthrough remains unchanged
- host-model is turned into custom CPU with a model and features
copied from host
- custom CPU with minimum match is converted similarly to host-model
- optional features are updated according to host's CPU

Some Intel processor families (e.g. the Intel Xeon processor E5 v3
family) introduced some PQos (Platform Qos) features, including CMT
(Cache Monitoring technology) and MBM (Memory Bandwidth Monitoring),
to monitor or control shared resource. This patch add them into x86
part of cpu_map.xml to be used for applications based on libvirt to
get cpu capabilities. For example, Nova in OpenStack schedules guests
based on the CPU features that the host has.

Our current detection code uses just the number of CPU features which
need to be added/removed from the CPU model to fully describe the CPUID
data. The smallest number wins. But this may sometimes generate wrong
results as one can see from the fixed test cases. This patch modifies
the algorithm to prefer the CPU model with matching signature even if
this model results in a longer list of additional features.

The CPU model was implemented in QEMU by commit f6f949e929.
The change to i7-5600U is wrong since it's a 5th generation CPU, i.e.,
Broadwell rather than Skylake, but that's just the result of our CPU
detection code (which is fixed by the following commit).

The actual CPU model in the data files is Penryn which makes the file
name look rather strange. Well, one of them contains Nehalem, but that's
a bug which will be fixed soon.

As a side effect this changes the order of CPU features in XMLs
generated by libvirt, but that's not a big deal since the order there is
insignificant.

So far we only test CPUID -> CPU def conversion on artificial CPUID data
computed from another CPU def. This patch adds the infrastructure to
test this conversion on real data gathered from a host CPU and two
helper scripts for adding new test data:
- cpu-gather.sh runs cpuid tool and qemu-system-x86_64 to get CPUID data
from the host CPU; this is what users can be asked to run if they run
into an issue with host CPU detection in libvirt
- cpu-parse.sh takes the data generated by cpu-gather.sh and creates
data files for CPU detection tests
The CPUID data queried from QEMU will eventually switch to the format
used by query-host-cpu QMP command once QEMU implements it. Until then
we just spawn QEMU with -cpu host and query the guest CPU in QOM. They
should both provide the same CPUID results, but query-host-cpu does not
require any guest CPU to be created by QEMU.

When computing CPU data for a given guest CPU we should set CPUID vendor
bits appropriately so that we don't lose the vendor when transforming
CPU data back to XML description.

There's no reason for keeping the features in a linked list. Especially
when we know upfront the total number of features we are loading.
