Despite efforts to make the virt-qemu-sev-validate tool friendly, it is
a certainty that almost everyone who tries it will hit false negative
results, getting a failure despite the VM being trustworthy.
Diagnosing these problems is no easy matter, especially for those not
familiar with SEV/SEV-ES in general. This extra docs text attempts to
set out a checklist of items to look at to identify what went wrong.

When validating a SEV-ES guest, we need to know the CPU count and VMSA
state. We can get the CPU count directly from libvirt's guest info. The
VMSA state can be constructed automatically if we query the CPU SKU from
host capabilities XML. Neither of these is secure, however, so this
behaviour is restricted.

The VMSA files contain the expected CPU register state for the VM. Their
content varies based on a few pieces of the stack
- AMD CPU architectural initial state
- KVM hypervisor VM CPU initialization
- QEMU userspace VM CPU initialization
- AMD CPU SKU (family/model/stepping)
The first three pieces of information we can obtain through code
inspection. The last piece of information we can take on the command
line. This allows a user to validate a SEV-ES guest merely by providing
the CPU SKU information, using --cpu-family, --cpu-model,
--cpu-stepping. This avoids the need to obtain or construct VMSA files
directly.

The original patches adding the functionality neglected to add any form
of documentation for the stats fields returned for this group.
The stats are directly converted from qemu's 'query-stats(-schema)' QMP
command without any further interpretation. The 'query-stats-schema' has
the following disclaimer:
Note: runtime-collected statistics and their names fall outside QEMU's usual
deprecation policies. QEMU will try to keep the set of available data
stable, together with their names, but will not guarantee stability
at all costs; the same is true of providers that source statistics
externally, e.g. from Linux. For example, if the same value is being
tracked with different names on different architectures or by different
providers, one of them might be renamed. A statistic might go away if
an algorithm is changed or some code is removed; changing a default
might cause previously useful statistics to always report 0. Such
changes, however, are expected to be rare.
Since libvirt is not doing any form of conversion of the stats we can't
meaningfully document any of the returned fields. At the same time we
can't even meaningfully provide any form of API stability for the field
names.
Modify the documentation for the 'VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VM' group both in the
API docs and in the virsh man page to reflect that and disclaim any form
of stability guarantees we provide normally.

Due to the setup of the modular daemon service files the reverting to non-socket
activated daemons could have never worked. The reason is that masking the
socket files prevents starting the daemons since they require (as in Requires=
rather than Wants= in the service file) the sockets. On top of that it creates
issues with some libvirt-guests setups and needlessly increases our support
matrix.
Nothing prevents users to modify their setup in a way that will still work
without socket activation, but supporting such setup only creates burden on our
part.
This technically reverts most of commit 59d30adacd except the change made to
the libvirtd manpage since the monolithic daemon still supports traditional mode
of starting even on systemd.

Libvirt provides QMP passthrough APIs for the QEMU driver and these are
exposed in virsh. It is not especially pleasant, however, using the raw
QMP JSON syntax. QEMU has a tool 'qmp-shell' which can speak QMP and
exposes a human friendly interactive shell. It is not possible to use
this with libvirt managed guest, however, since only one client can
attach to the QMP socket at any point in time. While it would be
possible to configure a second QMP socket for a VM, it may not be
an known requirement at the time the guest is provisioned.
The virt-qmp-proxy tool aims to solve this problem. It opens a UNIX
socket and listens for incoming client connections, speaking QMP on
the connected socket. It will forward any QMP commands received onto
the running libvirt QEMU guest, and forward any replies back to the
QMP client. It will also forward back events.
$ virsh start demo
$ virt-qmp-proxy demo demo.qmp &
$ qmp-shell demo.qmp
Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
Connected to QEMU 6.2.0
(QEMU) query-kvm
{
"return": {
"enabled": true,
"present": true
}
}
Note this tool of course has the same risks as the raw libvirt
QMP passthrough. It is safe to run query commands to fetch information
but commands which change the QEMU state risk disrupting libvirt's
management of QEMU, potentially resulting in data loss/corruption in
the worst case. Any use of this tool will cause the guest to be marked
as tainted as an warning that it could be in an unexpected state.
Since this tool introduces a python dependency it is not desirable
to include it in any of the existing RPMs in libvirt. This tool is
also QEMU specific, so isn't appropriate to bundle with the generic
tools. Thus a new RPM is introduced 'libvirt-clients-qemu', to
contain additional QEMU specific tools, with extra external deps.

After some debugging and discussion with systemd team it turns out we
are misusing the ordering in libvirt-guests.service. That happened
because we want to support both monolithic and modular daemon setups and
on top of that we also want to support socket activation and services
without socket activation. Unfortunately this is impossible to express
in the unit file because of how transactions are handled in systemd when
dependencies are resolved and multiple actions (jobs) are queued. For
explanation from Michal Sekletar see comment #7 in the BZ this patch is
fixing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1964855#c7
In order to support all the scenarios this patch also amends the
manpages so that users that are changing the default can also read how
to correct the dependency ordering in libvirt-guests unit file.
Ideally we would also keep the existing configuration during upgrade,
but due to our huge support matrix this seems hardly feasible as it

When reconnecting to a running QEMU process, we construct the
per-domain path in all hugetlbfs mounts. This is a relict from
the past (v3.4.0-100-g5b24d25062) where we switched to a
per-domain path and we want to create those paths when libvirtd
restarts on upgrade.
And with namespaces enabled there is one corner case where the
path is not created. In fact an error is reported and the
reconnect fails. Ideally, all mount events are propagated into
the QEMU's namespace. And they probably are, except when the
target path does not exist inside the namespace. Now, it's pretty
common for users to mount hugetlbfs under /dev (e.g.
/dev/hugepages), but if domain is started without hugepages (or
more specifically - private hugetlbfs path wasn't created on
domain startup), then the reconnect code tries to create it.
But it fails to do so, well, it fails to set seclabels on the
path because, because the path does not exist in the private
namespace. And it doesn't exist because we specifically create
only a subset of all possible /dev nodes. Therefore, the mount
event, whilst propagated, is not successful and hence the
filesystem is not mounted. We have to do it ourselves.
If hugetlbfs is mount anywhere else there's no problem and this
is effectively a dead code.
