Due to the way the hardware works, KVM on ppc64 always requires
memory locking; however, that is not the case for non-KVM ppc64
guests, eg. ppc64 guests that are running on x86_64 with TCG.
Only require memory locking for ppc64 guests if they are using
KVM or, as it's the case for all architectures, they have host
devices assigned using VFIO.

In order to use more common code and set up for a future type, modify the
encryption secret to allow the "usage" attribute or the "uuid" attribute
to define the secret. The "usage" in the case of a volume secret would be
the path to the volume as dictated by the backwards compatibility brought
on by virStorageGenerateQcowEncryption where it set up the usage field as
the vol->target.path and didn't allow someone to provide it. This carries
into virSecretObjListFindByUsageLocked which takes the secret usage attribute
value from from the domain disk definition and compares it against the
usage type from the secret definition. Since none of the code dealing
with qcow/qcow2 encryption secrets uses usage for lookup, it's a mostly
cosmetic change. The real usage comes in a future path where the encryption
is expanded to be a luks volume and the secret will allow definition of
the usage field.
This code will make use of the virSecretLookup{Parse|Format}Secret common code.

libvirt's qemu driver doesn't have direct access to the config on the
guest side of a network interface, and currently doesn't have any
method in place to even inform the guest of the desired config. In the
future, an unenforceable attempt to set the guest-side IP info could
be made by adding a static host entry to the appropriate dnsmasq
configuration (or changing the default dhcp client address on the qemu
commandline for type='user' interfaces), or enhancing the guest agent
to allow setting an IP address, but for now it can't have any effect,
and we don't want to give the illusion that it does.
To prevent the "disappearance" of any existing configs with ip
address/route info (due to parser failure), this check is added in the
newly implemented qemuDomainDeviceDefValidate(), which is only called
when a domain is defined or started, *not* when it is reread from disk
at libvirtd startup.
When support for <interface type='ethernet'> was added in commit
9a4b705f back in 2010, it erroneously looked at <source dev='blah'/>
for a user-specified guest-side interface name. This was never
documented though. (that attribute already existed at the time in the
data.ethernet union member of virDomainNetDef, but apparently had no
practical use - it was only used as a storage place for a NetDef's
bridge name during qemuDomainXMLToNative(), but even then that was
never used for anything).
When support for similar guest-side device naming was added to the lxc
driver several years later, it was put in a new subelement <guest
dev='blah'/>.
In the intervening years, since there was no validation that
ethernet.dev was NULL in the other drivers that didn't actually use
it, innocent souls who were adding other features assuming they needed
to account for non-NULL ethernet.dev when really they didn't, so
little bits of the usual pointless cargo-cult code showed up.
This patch not only switches the openvz driver to use the documented
<guest dev='blah'/> notation for naming the guest-side device (just in
case anyone is still using the openvz driver), and logs an error if
anyone tries to set <source dev='blah'/> for a type='ethernet'
interface, it also removes the cargo-cult uses of ethernet.dev and
<source dev='blah'/>, and eliminates if from the RNG and from
virDomainNetDef.
NB: I decided on this course of action after mentioning the
inconsistency here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-May/msg02038.html
and getting encouragement do eliminate it in a later IRC discussion
with danpb.
in qemuConnectDomainXMLToNative. This function was only accounting for
about 1/10 of all the allocated items in the NetDef prior to memseting
it to all 0's. On top of that, it was going to great pains to learn
the name of the bridge device, but then never doing anything useful
with it (just putting it into data.ethernet.dev, which is *never* used
when building a qemu commandline). (I think this again all started off
as code with good intentions, but it was never completed, and instead
was just Frankensteinically cargo-culted into the odd mish mash we
have today).
The resulting code is much simpler, produces exactly the same output,
and doesn't leak memory.
This patch removes the expanded and duplicated code that all sprung
out of two well-intentioned-but-useless settings of
net->data.(bridge|ethernet).ipaddr.
qemu has never supported even a single IP address in the interface
config, much less a list of them. All of the instances of "clearing
out the IP addresses" that are now in this function originated with
commit d8dbd6 "Basic domain XML conversions for Xen/QEMU drivers" in
May 2009, but even then the single "ipaddr" in the struct for
type='ethernet' and type='bridge' wasn't used in the qemu driver (only
in xen and openvz). Since then anyone who added a new interface type
also tacked on another unnecessary clearing of ipaddr, and when it was
made into a list of IPs (so far supported only by the LXC driver) this
simple setting was turned into a loop (well, multiple loops) to clear
them all.
I'm tired of mistyping this all the time, so let's do it the same all
the time (similar to how we changed all "Pci" to "PCI" awhile back).
(NB: I've left alone some things in the esx and vbox drivers because
I'm unable to compile them and they weren't obviously *not* a part of
some API. I also didn't change a couple of variables named,
e.g. "somethingIptables", because they were derived from the name of
the "iptables" command)

Unfortunately, we can't just call qemuDomainMachineIsPSeries()

Allow gathering available vcpu ids, their state and offlinability via
the qemu guest agent. The maximum id was chosen arbitrarily and ought
to be enough for everybody.
Documentation for the "guest-set-vcpus" command describes a proper
algorithm how to set vcpus. This patch makes the following changes:
- state of cpus that has not changed is not updated
- if the command was partially successful the command is re-tried with
the rest of the arguments to get a proper error message
- code is more robust against malicious guest agent
- fix testsuite to the new semantics
So far this is only useful for recalculating NUMA memory size,
which this function cannot parse.
This will let us generate USB addresses based on this flag.
The '-usb' option doesn't have any effect for aarch64 mach-virt
guests, so the fact that it's currently enabled by default is not
really causing any issue.
However, that might change in the future (although unlikely), and
having it as part of the QEMU command line can cause confusion to
someone looking through the process list.
Avoid it completely, like it's already happening for q35.
There has been some progress lately in enabling virtio-pci on
aarch64 guests; however, guest OS support is still spotty at best,
so most guests are going to be using virtio-mmio instead.
Currently, mach-virt guests are closely modeled after q35 guests,
and that includes always adding a dmi-to-pci-bridge that's just
impossible to get rid of. While that's acceptable (if suboptimal)
for q35, where you will always need some kind of PCI device anyway,
mach-virt guests should be allowed to avoid it.
While we need to know the difference between the total memory stored in
<memory> and the actual size not included in the possible memory modules
we can't pre-calculate it reliably. This is due to the fact that
libvirt's XML is copied via formatting and parsing the XML and the
initial memory size can be reliably calculated only when certain
conditions are met due to backwards compatibility.
This patch removes the storage of 'initial_memory' and fixes the helpers
to recalculate the initial memory size all the time from the total
memory size. This conversion is possible when we also make sure that
memory hotplug accounts properly for the update of the total memory size
and thus the helpers for inserting and removing memory devices need to
be tweaked too.
This fixes a bug where a cold-plug and cold-remove of a memory device
would increase the size reported in <memory> in the XML by the size of
the memory device. This would happen as the persistent definition is
copied before attaching the device and this would lead to the loss of
data in 'initial_memory'.

Until now, a Q35 domain (or arm/virt, or any other domain that has a
pcie-root bus) would always have a pci-bridge added, so that there
would be a hotpluggable standard PCI slot available to plug in any PCI
devices that might be added. This patch removes the explicit add,
instead relying on the pci-bridge being auto-added during PCI address
assignment (it will add a pci-bridge if there are no free slots).
This doesn't eliminate the dmi-to-pci-bridge controller that is
explicitly added whether or not a standard PCI slot is required (and
that is almost never used as anything other than a converter between
pcie.0's PCIe slots and standard PCI). That will be done separately.
Previously there was no way to have a Q35 domain that didn't have
these two controllers. This patch skips their creation as long as
there are some other kinds of pci controllers at index 1 and 2
(e.g. some pcie-root-port controllers).
I'm hoping that soon we won't add them at all, plugging all devices
into auto-added pcie-*-port ports instead, but in the meantime this
makes it easier to experiment with alternative bus hierarchies.
The other two DomainHasBlockJob usage error messages don't contain
'an', so unify things to save translators some effort. Dropping
the 'an' is closer to the sentence structure in the errors from
qemuDomainDiskBlockJobIsActive as well
If the domain is not running, but for example the CPUs are stopped, the
ACPI event gets queued and resume of the domain will just shut it off.

Hand-entering indexes for 20 PCI controllers is not as tedious as
manually determining and entering their PCI addresses, but it's still
annoying, and the algorithm for determining the proper index is
incredibly simple (in all cases except one) - just pick the lowest
unused index.
The one exception is USB2 controllers because multiple controllers in
the same group have the same index. For these we look to see if 1) the
most recently added USB controller is also a USB2 controller, and 2)
the group *that* controller belongs to doesn't yet have a controller
of the exact model we're just now adding - if both are true, the new
controller gets the same index, but in all other cases we just assign
the lowest unused index.
With this patch in place and combined with the automatic PCI address
assignment, we can define a PCIe switch with several ports like this:
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-upstream-port'/>
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>

These will each get a unique index, and PCI addresses that connect
them together appropriately with no pesky numbers required.
IS_USB2_CONTROLLER() is useful in more places aside from just when
assigning PCI addresses in QEMU, and is checking for enum values that
are all defined in conf/domain_conf.h anyway, so define it there
instead.
<os>
<acpi>
<table type="slic">/path/to/acpi/table/file</table>
</acpi>
</os>
will result in:
-acpitable sig=SLIC,file=/path/to/acpi/table/file
This option was introduced by QEMU commit 8a92ea2 in 2009.
