On a system that is enforcing FIPS, most libraries honor the
current mode by default. Qemu, on the other hand, refused to
honor FIPS mode unless you add the '-enable-fips' command
line option; worse, this option is not discoverable via QMP,
and is only present on binaries built for Linux. So, if we
detect FIPS mode, then we unconditionally ask for FIPS; either
qemu is new enough to have the option and then correctly
cripple insecure VNC passwords, or it is so old that we are
correctly avoiding a FIPS violation by preventing qemu from
starting. Meanwhile, if we don't detect FIPS mode, then
omitting the argument is safe whether the qemu has the option
(but it would do nothing because FIPS is disabled) or whether
qemu lacks the option (including in the case where we are not
running on Linux).
The testsuite was a bit interesting: we don't want our test
to depend on whether it is being run in FIPS mode, so I had
to tweak things to set the capability bit outside of our
normal interaction with capability parsing.
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035474
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h (QEMU_CAPS_ENABLE_FIPS): New bit.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (virQEMUCapsInitQMP): Conditionally
set capability according to detection of FIPS mode.
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuBuildCommandLine): Use it.
* tests/qemucapabilitiestest.c (testQemuCaps): Conditionally set
capability to test expected output.
* tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.2.2-1.caps: Update list.
* tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.6.0-1.caps: Likewise.

The support for <boot rebootTimeout="12345"/> was added before we were
checking for qemu command line options in QMP, so we haven't properly
adapted virQEMUCaps when using it and thus we report unsupported
option with new enough qemu.

Map the new <panic> device in XML to the '-device pvpanic' command
line of qemu. Clients can then couple the <panic> device and the
<on_crash> directive to control behavior when the guest reports
a panic to qemu.

This resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888635
(which was already closed as CANTFIX because the qemu "-boot strict"
commandline option wasn't available at the time).
Problem: you couldn't have a domain that used PXE to boot, but also
had an un-bootable disk device *even if that disk wasn't listed in the
boot order*, because if PXE timed out (e.g. due to the bridge
forwarding delay), the BIOS would move on to the next target, which
would be the unbootable disk device (again - even though it wasn't
given a boot order), and get stuck at a "BOOT DISK FAILURE, PRESS ANY
KEY" message until a user intervened.
The solution available since sometime around QEMU 1.5, is to add
"-boot strict=on" to *every* qemu command. When this is done, if any
devices have a boot order specified, then QEMU will *only* attempt to
boot from those devices that have an explicit boot order, ignoring the
rest.
This test is there to ensure that our capabilities detection code isn't
broken somehow.
How to gather test data:
Firstly, the data is split into two separate files. The former (with
suffix .replies) contains all the qemu replies. This is very fragile as
introducing a new device can mean yet another monitor command and hence
edit of this file in the future. But there's no better way of doing
this. To get this data simply turn on debug logs and copy all the
QEMU_MONITOR_IO_PROCESS lines. But be careful to not copy incomplete
ones (yeah, we report some incomplete lines too). Long story short, at
the libvirtd startup, a dummy qemu is spawn to get all the capabilities.
The latter (with suffix .caps) contains capabilities XML. Just start a
domain and copy the corresponding part from its state XML file.
Including <qemuCaps> tag.
