Previously we would have:
"os type 'hvm' & arch 'idontexist' combination is not supported"
Now we get
"No guest options available for arch 'idontexist'"
or if options available but guest OS type not applicable:
"No os type 'xen' available for arch 'x86_64'"
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:
- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
<cpu>
<topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
</cpu>
- guest CPU matches selected model:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model>core2duo</model>
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
from capabilities to domain XML):
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model fallback='forbid'/>
</cpu>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model> --+
<vendor>Intel</vendor> |
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> + copied from
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | capabilities XML
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> |
... --+
</cpu>
- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
<cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>
- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
<model>Penryn</model> --+ copied from caps
<vendor>Intel</vendor> | XML but doesn't
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/> | describe all
<feature policy='require' name='dca'/> | aspects of the
<feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> | actual guest CPU
... --+
</cpu>
If we ensure that virNodeSuspendGetTargetMask always resets
*bitmask to zero upon failure, there is no need for the
powerMgmt_valid field.
* src/util/virnodesuspend.c: Ensure *bitmask is zero upon
failure
* src/conf/capabilities.c, src/conf/capabilities.h: Remove
powerMgmt_valid field
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: Remove powerMgmt_valid
The virHostPMCapability enum helper was declared in util.h
but implemented in capabilities.c, which is in a completely
separate library at link time. Move the declaration into the
capabilities.c file and rename it to match normal conventions
* src/util/util.h: Remove virHostPMCapability enum decl
* src/conf/capabilities.c: Add virCapsHostPMTarget enum
The capabilities XML uses the x86 specific terms 'S3', 'S4'
and 'Hybrid-Syspend'. Switch it to use the same terminology
as the API constants and virsh options, eg 'suspend_mem'
'suspend_disk' and 'suspend_hybrid'
* docs/formatcaps.html.in, docs/schemas/capability.rng,
src/conf/capabilities.c: Rename suspend constants
The internal virHostPMCapability enum just duplicates the
public virNodeSuspendTarget enum, but with different names.
* src/util/util.c: Use VIR_NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET constants
* src/util/util.h: Remove virHostPMCapability enum
* src/conf/capabilities.c: Use VIR_NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET_LAST
Some systems support a feature known as 'Hybrid-Suspend', apart from the
usual system-wide sleep states such as Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk
(S4). Add the functionality to discover this power management feature and
export it in the capabilities XML under the <power_management> tag.
This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
Auto-indent makes life a bit easier; this patch also drops unused
arguments and replaces a misspelled flag name with two entry points
instead, so that callers don't have to worry about how much spacing
is present when embedding cpu elements.
* src/conf/cpu_conf.h (virCPUFormatFlags): Delete.
(virCPUDefFormat): Drop unused argument.
(virCPUDefFormatBuf): Alter signature.
(virCPUDefFormatBufFull): New prototype.
* src/conf/cpu_conf.c (virCPUDefFormatBuf): Split...
(virCPUDefFormatBufFull): ...into new function.
(virCPUDefFormat): Adjust caller.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDefFormatInternal): Likewise.
* src/conf/capabilities.c (virCapabilitiesFormatXML): Likewise.
* src/cpu/cpu.c (cpuBaselineXML): Likewise.
* tests/cputest.c (cpuTestCompareXML): Likewise.
We already have virAsprintf, so picking a similar name helps for
seeing a similar purpose. Furthermore, the prefix V before printf
generally implies 'va_list', even though this variant was '...', and
the old name got in the way of adding a new va_list version.
global rename performed with:
$ git grep -l virBufferVSprintf \
| xargs -L1 sed -i 's/virBufferVSprintf/virBufferAsprintf/g'
then revert the changes in ChangeLog-old.
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.
This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.
Record a default driver name/type in capabilities struct. Use this
when parsing disks if value is not set in XML config.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Fallback to default driver name/type
when parsing disks
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Set default driver name/type to raw
Allow for a host UUID in the capabilities XML. Local drivers
will initialize this from the SMBIOS data. If a sanity check
shows SMBIOS uuid is invalid, allow an override from the
libvirtd.conf configuration file

configuration option

new host_uuid config option to test
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

Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with
calls to VIR_FREE(). Also add missing calls to virBufferFreeAndReset()
and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.
If one has e.g.
<guest>
<os_type>hvm</os_type>
<arch name='x86_64'>
<wordsize>64</wordsize>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
<machine>pc-0.11</machine>
<machine canonical='pc-0.11'>pc</machine>
<machine>pc-0.10</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
<domain type='qemu'>
</domain>
<domain type='kvm'>
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
<machine>pc</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
</domain>
</arch>
</guest>
and start a guest with:
<domain type='kvm'>
...
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>
...
</os>
</domain>
then the default machine type should be 'pc' and not 'pc-0.11'
Issue was reported by Anton Protopopov.
* src/capabilities.[ch]: pass the domain type to
virCapabilitiesDefaultGuestArch() and use it to look up the default
machine type from a specific guest domain if needed.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: update
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-machine-aliases2.xml: update
the domain type to 'kvm' and remove the machine type to check

targets which actually need them. Create a libvirt_conf.la
