a007fcab3b snapshot: Don't expose testsuite-only state in snapshot XML
None of the existing drivers actually use the 0-valued 'nostate'
snapshot state; rather, it was a fluke of implementation. In fact,
some drivers, like qemu, actively reject 'nostate' as invalid during a
snapshot redefine. Normally, a driver computes the state post-parse
from the current domain, and thus virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc() will
never expose the state. However, since the testsuite lacks any
associated domain to copy state from, and lacks post-parse processing
that normal drivers have, the testsuite output had several spots with
the state, coupled with a regex filter to ignore the oddity.

It is better to follow the lead of other XML defaults, by not
outputting anything during format if post-parse defaults have not been
applied, and rejecting the default value during parsing. The testsuite
needs a bit of an update, by adding another flag for when to simulate
a post-parse action of setting a snapshot state, but none of the
drivers are impacted other than rejecting XML that was previously
already suspicious in nature.

Similarly, don't expose creation time 0 (for now, only possible if a
user redefined a snapshot to claim creation at the Epoch, but also
happens once setting the creation time is deferred to a post-parse
handler).

This is also a step towards cleaning up snapshot_conf.c to separate
its existing post-parse work (namely, setting the creationTime and
default snapshot name) from the pure parsing work, so that we can get
rid of the testsuite hack of regex filtering of the XML and instead
have more accurate testing of our parser/formatter code.

5b9819eedc domain capabilities: Expose firmware auto selection feature
If a management application wants to use firmware auto selection
feature it can't currently know if the libvirtd it's talking to
support is or not. Moreover, it doesn't know which values that
are accepted for the @firmware attribute of <os/> when parsing
will allow successful start of the domain later, i.e. if the mgmt
application wants to use 'bios' whether there exists a FW
descriptor in the system that describes bios.

This commit then adds 'firmware' enum to <os/> element in
<domainCapabilities/> XML like this:

  <enum name='firmware'>
    <value>bios</value>
    <value>efi</value>
  </enum>

We can see both 'bios' and 'efi' listed which means that there
are descriptors for both found in the system (matched with the
machine type and architecture reported in the domain capabilities
earlier and not shown here).

a6a25d5cb6 snapshot: More clarification about REDEFINE
Based on recent list questions about the proposed addition of
virDomainCheckpointCreateXML(REDEFINE), it is worth adding some
clarification to the existing snapshot redefine documentation that is
serving as the basis for checkpoints.

Normal snapshot creation requires very few elements from the user XML
(libvirt can pick sane defaults for items that are omitted, and many
fields, including <domain>, are documented as readonly output fields
ignored on input, produced by drivers that track it). But during
REDEFINE, the API wants the complete XML produced by an earlier
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc; as the domain definition has likely
changed since the snapshot was first created, libvirt is unable to
recreate a <domain> sub-element that matches the original output
representing the domain state at the time the snapshot was first
created. In fact, reverting without a <domain> sub-element is risky
enough that we had to add a FORCE flag for virDomainSnapshotRevert().
In short, we only support omitting domain for qemu because of
backwards-compatibility to snapshots created before 0.9.5 started
capturing <domain>; even though there are other drivers like vbox that
do not output <domain> because they have other reliable ways to
revert.

And based on the confusion caused when omitting <domain> from snapshot
XML, the initial design for checkpoints in later patches will make
<domain> a mandatory element during its REDEFINE.

[Side note: the fact that <domain> can appear in <domainsnapshot> is a
reason we cannot add a new API for a bulk listing or redefine of all
snapshots of a single domain in one XML call (for example, a 1M
<domain> XML * 16 snapshots explodes into 16M in a bulk form, which
gets difficult to send over RPC). Perhaps we could add a flag to
request that the <domain> sub-element be omitted on output, but such
output is no longer suitable for sane REDEFINE input.]

09eb1ae0ec conf: Add a new 'xenbus' controller type
xenbus is virtual controller (akin to virtio controllers) for Xen
paravirtual devices. Although all Xen VMs have a xenbus, it has
never been modeled in libvirt, or in Xen native VM config format
for that matter.

Recently there have been requests to support Xen's max_grant_frames
setting in libvirt. max_grant_frames is best modeled as an attribute
of xenbus. It describes the maximum IO buffer space (or DMA space)
available in xenbus for use by connected paravirtual devices. This
patch introduces a new xenbus controller type that includes a
maxGrantFrames attribute.

d947fa8a08 conf: Introduce firmware attribute to <os/>
The idea is that using this attribute users enable libvirt to
automagically select firmware image for their domain. For
instance:

  <os firmware='efi'>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
    <loader secure='no'/>
  </os>

  <os firmware='bios'>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
  </os>

(The automagic of selecting firmware image will be described in
later commits.)

Accepted values are 'bios' and 'efi' to let libvirt select
corresponding type of firmware.

I know it is a good sign to introduce xml2xml test case when
changing XML config parser but that will have to come later.
Firmware auto selection is not enabled for any driver just yet so
any xml2xml test would fail right away.

448a094717 qemu: Support scsi controller model=virtio-{non-}transitional
Add <controller type='scsi' model handling for virtio transitional
devices. Ex:

  <controller type='scsi' model='virtio-transitional'/>

* "virtio-transitional" maps to qemu "virtio-scsi-pci-transitional"
* "virtio-non-transitional" maps to qemu "virtio-scsi-non-transitional"

The naming here doesn't match the pre-existing model=virtio-scsi.
The prescence of '-scsi' there seems kind of redundant as we have
type='scsi' already, so I decided to follow the pattern of other
patches and use virtio-transitional etc.

qemu vhost-scsi devices map to XML roughly like:

need to to extend the SCSI Host hostdev XML to handle

for mediated devices. This is just the domain_conf bits
and some XML test cases.

Use of virtio-X naming here does not match the hostdev
protocol=vhost nor does it match the qemu vhost-X device
naming, however it's more consistent with all other
model= names in this area, and also matches the
inconsistency of <vsock> devices which use model=virtio

ae05211a36 network: set firewalld zone of bridges to "libvirt" zone when appropriate
This patch restores broken guest network connectivity after a host
firewalld is switched to using an nftables backend. It does this by
adding libvirt networks' bridge interfaces to the new "libvirt" zone
in firewalld.

After this patch, the bridge interface of any network created by
libvirt (when firewalld is active) will be added to the firewalld
zone called "libvirt" if it exists (regardless of the firewalld
backend setting). This behavior does *not* depend on whether or not
libvirt has installed the libvirt zone file (set with
"--with[out]-firewalld-zone" during the configure phase of the package
build).

If the libvirt zone doesn't exist (either because the package was
configured to not install it, or possibly it was installed, but
firewalld doesn't support rule priorities, resulting in a parse
error), the bridge will remain in firewalld's default zone, which
could be innocuous (in the case that the firewalld backend is
iptables, guest networking will still function properly with the
bridge in the default zone), or it could be disastrous (if the
firewalld backend is nftables, we can be assured that guest networking
will fail). In order to be unobtrusive in the former case, and
informative in the latter, when the libvirt zone doesn't exist we
then check the firewalld version to see if it's new enough to support
the nftables backend, and then if the backend is actually set to
nftables, before logging an error (and failing the net-start
operation, since the network couldn't possibly work anyway).

When the libvirt zone is used, network behavior is *slightly*
different from behavior of previous libvirt. In the past, libvirt
network behavior would be affected by the configuration of firewalld's
default zone (usually "public"), but now it is affected only by the
"libvirt" zone), and thus almost surely warrants a release note for
any distro upgrading to libvirt 5.1 or above. Although it's
unfortunate that we have to deal with a mandatory behavior change, the
architecture of multiple hooks makes it impossible to *not* change
behavior in some way, and the new behavior is arguably better (since
it will now be possible to manage access to the host from virtual
machines vs from public interfaces separately).

http://davidz25.blogspot.com/2012/06/authorization-rules-in-polkit.html

While backwards compat for the old .pkla format is still available, it
makes sense to point people first at the new format.

The SSHPolicyKitSetup wiki page seems pretty stale, so remove the
reference to it.

07c9d6601d qemu: use line breaks in command line args written to log
The QEMU command line arguments are very long and currently all written
on a single line to /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log. This introduces
logic to add line breaks after every env variable and "-" optional

file, which will in turn present better in bug reports when people cut +
paste from the log into a bug comment.

An example log file entry now looks like this:

600462834f Remove all Author(s): lines from source file headers
In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.

In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.

With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to  find the
author of a particular bit of code.

This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.

The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

24b74d187c qemu: add memfd source type
Add a new memoryBacking source type "memfd", supported by QEMU (when
the capability is available).

A memfd is a specialized anonymous memory kind. As such, an anonymous
source type could be automatically using a memfd. However, there are
some complications when migrating from different memory backends in
qemu (mainly due to the internal object naming at this point, but
there could be more). For now, it is simpler and safer to simply
introduce a new source type "memfd". Eventually, the "anonymous" type
could learn to use memfd transparently in a separate change.

The main benefits are that it doesn't need to create filesystem files,
and it also enforces sealing, providing a bit more safety.

6af8417415 conf: Introduce RDT monitor host capability
This patch is introducing cache monitor(CMT) to cache and
memory bandwidth monitor(MBM) for monitoring CPU memory
bandwidth.

The host capability of the two monitors is also introduced
in this patch.

For CMT, the host capability is shown like:
  <host>
  ...
    <cache>
      <bank id='0' level='3' type='both' size='15' unit='MiB' cpus='0-5'>
        <control granularity='768' min='1536' unit='KiB' type='both' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </bank>
      <monitor level='3' 'reuseThreshold'='270336' maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='llc_occupancy'/>
      </monitor>
    </cache>
    ...
  </host>

For MBM, the capability is shown like this:
  <host>
    ...
    <memory_bandwidth>
      <node id='1' cpus='6-11'>
        <control granularity='10' min ='10' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </node>
      <monitor maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/>

5bdcef13d1 libxl: drop support for Xen < 4.6
Currently the libxl driver claims support for Xen >= 4.4, but
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported upstream. Let's increase
the minimum supported Xen version to 4.6 and change the defined
LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x040500, which is the API version defined
when Xen 4.6 was released.

Since Xen 4.6 contains a pkgconfig file, drop the now unused code
that falls back to using LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB in the absence of
pkgconfig file. In addition, bumping the LIBXL_API_VERSION
required adjusting the calls to libxl_set_vcpuaffinity to account
for the extra parameter in the 0x040500 version of the API.

Then, libvirtd-fail test was still failing (as expected) but not
because of missing config file but because it was trying to
execute (nonexistent) top_builddir/daemon/libvirtd which
fulfilled expected outcome and thus test did not fail.

Thirdly, lcov was told to generate coverage for daemon/ dir too.

Fourthly, our compiling documentation was still suggesting to run

And finally, some comments in a systemtap file and a probes file
were still referring to daemon/libvirtd.

6c0d0210cb src: Make virStr*cpy*() functions return an int
Currently, the functions return a pointer to the
destination buffer on success or NULL on failure.

Not only does this kind of error handling look quite
alien in the context of libvirt, where most functions
return zero on success and a negative int on failure,
but it's also somewhat pointless because unless there's
been a failure the returned pointer will be the same
one passed in by the user, thus offering no additional
value.

Change the functions so that they return an int
instead.

d54e45b6ed conf: Introduce new <hostdev> attribute 'display'
QEMU 2.12 introduced a new type of display for mediated devices using
vfio-pci backend which allows a mediated device to be used as a VGA
compatible device as an alternative to an emulated video device. QEMU
exposes this feature via a vfio device property 'display' with supported
values 'on/off/auto' (libvirt will default to 'off').

This patch adds the necessary bits to domain config handling in order to
expose this feature. Since there's no convenient way for libvirt to come
up with usable defaults for the display setting, simply because libvirt
is not able to figure out which of the display implementations - dma-buf
which requires OpenGL support vs vfio regions which doesn't need OpenGL
(works with OpenGL enabled too) - the underlying mdev uses.

d8266ebe16 qemu: Introduce a new graphics display type 'headless'
Since 2.10 QEMU supports a new display type egl-headless which uses the
drm nodes for OpenGL rendering copying back the rendered bits back to
QEMU into a dma-buf which can be accessed by standard "display" apps
like VNC or SPICE. Although this display type can be used on its own,
for any practical use case it makes sense to pair it with either VNC or
SPICE display. The clear benefit of this display is that VNC gains
OpenGL support, which it natively doesn't have, and SPICE gains remote
OpenGL support (native OpenGL support only works locally through a UNIX
socket, i.e. listen type=socket/none).

The launch-security element can be used to define the security
model to use when launching a domain. Currently we support 'sev'.

When 'sev' is used, the VM will be launched with AMD SEV feature enabled.
SEV feature supports running encrypted VM under the control of KVM.
Encrypted VMs have their pages (code and data) secured such that only the
guest itself has access to the unencrypted version. Each encrypted VM is
associated with a unique encryption key; if its data is accessed to a
different entity using a different key the encrypted guests data will be
incorrectly decrypted, leading to unintelligible data.

1bd5a08d38 conf, schema, docs: Add support for TSEG size setting
TSEG (Top of Memory Segment) is one of many regions that SMM (System Management
Mode) can occupy.  This one, however is special, because a) most of the SMM code
lives in TSEG nowadays and b) QEMU just (well, some time ago) added support for
so called 'extended' TSEG.  The difference to the TSEG implemented in real q35's
MCH (Memory Controller Hub) is that it can offer one extra size to the guest OS
apart from the standard TSEG's 1, 2, and 8 MiB and that size can be selected in
1 MiB increments.  Maximum may vary based on QEMU and is way too big, so we
don't need to check for the maximum here.  Similarly to the memory size we'll
leave it to the hypervisor to try satisfying that and giving us an error message
in case it is not possible.

dcd9db75fe schema,tests: Use vpxmigr for host migrate transport capability
Commit id 'e4938ce2f' changed the esx_driver to use 'vpxmigr'
instead of esx for virCapabilitiesAddHostMigrateTransport, so
update the capabilities to allow virt-xml-validate to pass and
update the test to use the newer name.

b50efe97ad conf: Add VM Generation ID parse/format support
The VM Generation ID is a mechanism to provide a unique 128-bit,
cryptographically random, and integer value identifier known as
the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) to the guest OS. The value
is used to help notify the guest operating system when the virtual
machine is executed with a different configuration.

This patch adds support for a new "genid" XML element similar to
the "uuid" element. The "genid" element can have two forms "<genid/>"
or "<genid>$GUID</genid>". If the $GUID is not provided, libvirt
will generate one and save it in the XML.

Since adding support for a generated GUID (or UUID like) value to
be displayed modifying the xml2xml test to include virrandommock.so
is necessary since it will generate a "known" value.

qemu started enabling vmcoreinfo by default we wouldn't have any way
for the user to turn this off.

Convert it to tristate. For writing XML this is semanticly the same,
<vmcoreinfo/> is processed as <vmcoreinfo state='on'/>.

For apps reading guest XML this is technically an API change,
as they might misinterpret <vmcoreinfo state='off'/>, however this
has only been present in libvirt since 3.10.0 and I don't think any
apps are dependent on this yet

20ad55a8fd driver: introduce a driver method for probing default URIs
Currently the virDrvConnectOpen method is supposed to handle both
opening an explicit URI and auto-probing a driver if no URI is
given. Introduce a dedicated virDrvConnectURIProbe method to enable the
probing functionality to be split from the driver opening functionality.

It is still possible for NULL to be passed to the virDrvConnectOpen
method after this change, because the remote driver needs special
handling to enable probing of the URI against a remote libvirtd daemon.

is different from our practice with QEMU, UML, Parallels, Libxl, BHyve
and VirtualBox drivers, which all use a path of '/system' or '/session'
or both.

By making LXC allow '/system', we have fully standardized on the use of
either '/system' or '/session' for all the stateful drivers that run
inside libvirtd.

Support for lxc:/// is of course maintained for back-compat.

In 2074ef6cd4 and c56cdf259 (and friends) we've added two
attributes to virtio NICs: rx_queue_size and tx_queue_size.
However, sysadmins might want to set these on per-host basis but
don't necessarily have an access to domain XML (e.g. because they
are generated by some other app). So let's expose them under
qemu.conf (the settings from domain XML still take precedence as
they are more specific ones).

68eed56b2d conf: add support for setting OEM strings SMBIOS data fields
The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.

As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like

    <oemStrings>
      <entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
      <entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
    </oemStrings>

use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.

25ff8dd29e docs: update instructions for TLS cert generation
Currently we only describe setting the CN field for server certs. This leads
to inevitable pain for users who set it to the fully qualified hostname and
then use a unqualified hostname or IP address to connect in the URI. Describe
the usage of Subject Alt Name extensions, to provide multiple hostnames and
IP addresses. This will help users avoid the classic mistake and is important
future proofing, since at least in browsers, TLS libraries no longer use the
CN field for validation, mandating use of SAN info instead.

Introduce specific a target types with two models for the console
devices (sclp and sclplm) used in s390 and s390x guests, so isa-serial
is no more used for them.

This makes <serial> usable on s390 and s390x guests, with at most only
a single sclpconsole and one sclplmconsole devices usable in a single
guest (due to limitations in QEMU, which will enforce already at

7e4177a35b qemu: add vmcoreinfo support
Starting from qemu 2.11, the `-device vmcoreinfo` will create a fw_cfg
entry for a guest to store dump details, necessary to process kernel
dump with KASLR enabled and providing additional kernel details.

In essence, it is similar to -fw_cfg name=etc/vmcoreinfo,file=X but in
this case it is not backed by a file, but collected by QEMU itself.

Since the device is a singleton and shouldn't use additional hardware
resources, it is presented as a <feature> element in the libvirt
domain XML.

The device is arm/x86 only for now (targets that support fw_cfg+dma).

Note, this document makes one change to our previous policy. It explicitly

accepts the reality that we can a) never change it without breaking compat
with old libvirt.so, b) there are both rust + go impls that are written

74119a03f1 numa: describe siblings distances within cells
Add support for describing NUMA distances in a domain's <numa> <cell>
XML description.

Below is an example of a 4 node setup:

  <cpu>
    <numa>
      <cell id='0' cpus='0-3' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='1' cpus='4-7' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='31'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='2' cpus='8-11' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      <cell id='3' cpus='12-15' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='10'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
    </numa>
  </cpu>

A <cell> defines a NUMA node. <distances> describes the NUMA distance
from the <cell> to the other NUMA nodes (the <sibling>s).  For example,
in above XML description, the distance between NUMA node0 <cell id='0'
...> and NUMA node2 <sibling id='2' ...> is 31.

Valid distance values are '10 <= value <= 255'.  A distance value of 10
represents the distance to the node itself.  A distance value of 20
represents the default value for remote nodes but other values are
possible depending on the physical topology of the system.

When distances are not fully described, any missing sibling distance
values will default to 10 for local nodes and 20 for remote nodes.

If distance is given for A -> B, then we default B -> A to the same
value instead of 20.

   Source{File|Dir|Block|Volume}
   SourceProtocol{RBD|ISCSI|NBD|Gluster|Simple|HTTP}

NB: Simple includes sheepdog, ftp, ftps, tftp

That way we can set up to allow the <encryption> element to be
formatted within the disk source, but we still need to be wary
from whence the element was read - see keep track and when it
comes to format the data, ensure it's written in the correct place.

Modify the qemuxml2argvtest to add a parse failure when there is an
<encryption> as a child of <disk> *and* an <encryption> as a child
of <source>.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a

Since we've allowed the <auth> to be a child of <disk>, we'll need
to keep track of how it was read so that when writing out we'll know
whether to format as child of <disk> or <source>. For the argv2xml
parsing, let's format under <source> as a preference. Do not allow
<auth> to be both a child of <disk> and <source>.

Modify the qemuxml2argvtest to add a parse failure when there is an
<auth> as a child of <disk> *and* an <auth> as a child of <source>.

Add tests to validate that if the <auth> was found in <source>, then
the resulting xml2xml and xml2arg works just fine.  The two new .args
file are exact copies of the non "-source" version of the file.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a
RNG viewpoint things are fine

Update the virstoragefile, virstoragetest, and args2xml file to show
the "preference" to place <auth> as a child of <source>.

name; however, when trying to add a volume to a domain using
the storage pool source with a '.' in the storage pool name,
the domain RNG validation fails because RNG uses 'genericName'
which does not allow a '.' in the name.

Domain XML def parsing has a virXMLValidateAgainstSchema which
generates the error. The Storage Pool XML def parsing has no
call to virXMLValidateAgainstSchema. The only Storage Pool name
validation occurs in virStoragePoolDefParseXML to ensure the
name doesn't have a '/' in it and in storagePoolDefineXML to
call virXMLCheckIllegalChars using the same parameter "\n" as
qemuDomainDefineXMLFlags would check after the RNG check
could be succesful.

In order to resolve this, create a poolName definition in
storagecommon.rng that will mimic the domain name regex that
disallows a newline character, but add the "/" in the exclude
list. Then modify the pool and volume source name definitions
to key off that poolName.

f170548502 util: Add TLS attributes to virStorageSource
Add an optional virTristateBool haveTLS to virStorageSource to
manage whether a storage source will be using TLS.

Sample XML for a VxHS disk:

<disk type='network' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
  <source protocol='vxhs' name='eb90327c-8302-4725-9e1b-4e85ed4dc251' tls='yes'>
    <host name='192.168.0.1' port='9999'/>
  </source>
  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>

Additionally add a tlsFromConfig boolean to control whether the TLS
setting was due to domain configuration or qemu.conf global setting
in order to decide whether to Format the haveTLS setting for either
a live or saved domain configuration file.

Update the qemuxml2xmltest in order to add a test to show the proper
parsing.

Also update the docs to describe the tls attribute.

8708ca01c0 nodedev: add switchdev to NIC capabilities
Adding functionality to libvirt that will allow querying the interface
for the availability of switchdev Offloading NIC capabilities.

The switchdev mode was introduced in kernel 4.8, the iproute2-devlink
command to retrieve the switchdev NIC feature with command example:

    devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:03:00.0

This feature is needed for Openstack so we can do a scheduling decision
if the NIC is in Hardware Offload (switchdev) or regular SR-IOV (legacy) mode.
And select the appropriate hypervisors with the requested capability see [1].

    </auth>
    <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>

The reality is, it's not even used. For a <source pool> the authdef
from the storage source pool will supercede whatever is in the <disk>
definition during virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool processing. In fact,
if the pool doesn't have/need authentication, then the authdef would
be removed anyway as the storage pool would be handling things.

The "proof" for this is in the adjustment to the test to add an
<auth> for a disk. The resulting .args file won't add what normally
would be added "myname:encodedpassword@" prior to the hostname in
the IQN (e.g. iscsi://myname:encodedpassword@iscsi.example.org:3260/...

43e6686c7f storage: Disallow usage of the HBA for a fc_host backing
Disallow providing the wwnn/wwpn of the HBA in the adapter XML:

  <adapter type='fc_host' [parent='scsi_hostN'] wwnn='HBA_wwnn'
    wwpn='HBA_wwpn'/>

This should be considered a configuration error since a vHBA
would not be created. In order to use the HBA as the backing the
following XML should be used:

  <adapter type='scsi_host' name='scsi_hostN'/>

So add a check prior to the checkParent call to validate that
the provided wwnn/wwpn resolves to a vHBA and not an HBA.

099a5ef8f0 docs: Span cells if there's not doc text for enum val
When generating HTML documentation we put enum values into a
table so that we can display the value's name, numerical value
and description (if it has one). Now the last part is problem. If
the value doesn't have description the table row has just two
cells and if it has one the row counts three cells. This makes
HTML engines render the description into very little space - for
instance see:

  html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainMemoryStatTags

We can avoid this problem if we let the cell that corresponds to
numerical value span over two cells if there's no description.

6efdd94dbc apibuild.py: Handle enum comments properly
After f4cb85c6af we only have two options for placing enum
values descriptions. It's either:

    typedef enum {
        /* Some long description. Therefore it's placed before
         * the value. */
        VIR_ENUM_A_VAL = 1,
    } virEnumA;

or:

    typedef enum {
        VIR_ENUM_B_VAL = 1, /* Some short description */
    } virEnumB;

However, our apibuild.py script is not able to deal with the
former one. It messes up comments. To fix this couple of things
needs to be done:

a) DO NOT reset self.comment in parseEnumBlock(). This is a
result from our tokenizer. Upon calling token() if it finds a
comment block it stores it in self.comment and returns the next
token (which is not comment). Therefore, if we reset self.comment
we might lose the first comment in the enum block.

b) we need a variable to track if the current enum block uses
value descriptions before or after values. That is if it's type
virEnumA or virEnumB. Depending on that, it we're dealing with
virEnumA type and the current token is a comma ',' we can add the
value into the list as we already have everything needed:
comment, name and value.

e5a0579996 qemu: Enable NUMA node tag in pci-root for PPC64
This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.

PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.

For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.

So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.

The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.

b494e09d05 docs: schema: make disk driver name attribute optional
/domain/devices/disk/driver/@name is not a required or mandatory
attribute according to formatdomain, and indeed it was agreed on
IRC that the attribute is "optional for input, recommended (but
not required) for output". Currently the schema requires the
attribute, causing virt-xml-validate to fail on disk config where
the driver name is not explicitly specified. E.g.

# cat test.xml | grep -A 5 cdrom
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver type='raw'/>
      <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/>
    </disk>

# virt-xml-validate test.xml
Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
test.xml:21: element devices: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate content
test.xml fails to validate

Relaxing the name attribute to be optional fixes the validation

# virt-xml-validate test.xml
test.xml validates

handled.

of the possible VGA configuration options:

b0ffd938d4 node_device: detect CCW devices
Make CCW devices available to the node_device driver. The devices are
already seen by udev so let's implement necessary code for detecting
them properly.

Topologically, CCW devices are similar to PCI devices, e.g.:

    +- ccw_0_0_1a2b
        |
        +- scsi_host0
            |
            +- scsi_target0_0_0

88ef73e13c nodedev: Introduce mdev capability for mediated devices
Start discovering the mediated devices on the host system and format the
attributes for the mediated device into the XML. Compared to the parent
device which reports generic information about the abstract mediated
devices types, a child device only reports the type name it has been
instantiated from and the IOMMU group number, since that's device
specific compared to the rest of the info that can be gathered about
mediated devices at the moment.
This patch introduces both the formatting and parsing routines, updates
nodedev.rng schema, adding a testcase as well.

The resulting mdev child device XML:
<device>
  <name>mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/.../4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01</path>
  <parent>pci_0000_06_00_0</parent>
  <driver>

  </driver>
  <capability type='mdev'>
    <type id='vendor_supplied_type_id'/>

The parent device needs to report the generic stuff about the supported

type 'mdev_types' with the resulting XML of the following format:

<device>

    <capability type='mdev_types'>

The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

However, we do not have to add every single code change to the news

subject needs changes like this one, I'm rather tempted to say that
such changes should not be in the news file at all.  So that would be

RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in
the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. As such, libvirtd should not
by using it as a default mechanism. GSSAPI is the only other
viable SASL mechanism that can provide secure session encryption
so enable that by defalt as the replacement.

80af11d3dd conf: Introduce @access to <memory/>
Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.

Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

b4e8a49f8d Introduce NVDIMM memory model
NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.

At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:

    <memory model='nvdimm'>
      <source>
        <path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
      </source>
      <target>
        <size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
        <node>0</node>
      </target>
      <address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
    </memory>

So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.

0d157b3fed disk: Fixup error handling path for devmapper when part_separator='yes'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346566

If libvirt_parthelper is erroneously told to append the partition
separator 'p' onto the generated output for a disk pool using device
mapper that has 'user_friendly_names' set to true, then the error
recovery path will fail to find volume resulting in the pool being
in an unusable state.

So, augment the documentation to provide the better hint that the
part_separator='yes' should be set when user_friendly_names are not
being used. Additionally, once we're in the error path where the
returned name doesn't match the expected partition name try to see
if the reason is because the 'p' was erroneosly added. If so alter
the about to be removed vol->target.path so that the DiskDeleteVol
code can find the partition that was created and remove it.

605e308c95 docs: Document the release notes process for contributors
Now that we have built a fairly solid process for dealing with
release notes, we should start pushing for contributors to
provide the relevant information along with their code:
documenting the process is clearly a requirement for this to
happen.

6a5b312730 NEWS: Reformat at generation time
Instead of encoding formatting information inside the
corresponding XSLT stylesheet, use a Python script to reformat
the text appropriately based on a few simple markers.

Splitting the task between the XSLT stylesheet and the Python
script allows us to keep both parts very simple.

be36ea4b52 NEWS: Improve building pipeline
Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet
to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the
libvirt website.

The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the
source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single
missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably.

Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details
of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy
to understand, tweak or fix.

To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML
file that contains exactly the information we care about in a
simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and
plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets
that can now afford to be almost trivial.

bb74a7ffeb conf: Add more fchost search fields for storage pool vHBA creation
Add new fields to the fchost structure to allow creation of a vHBA via
the storage pool when a parent_wwnn/parent_wwpn or parent_fabric_wwn is
supplied in the storage pool XML.

2b13361bc7 nodedev: Add the ability to create vHBA by parent wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349696

When creating a vHBA, the process is to feed XML to nodeDeviceCreateXML
that lists the <parent> scsi_hostX to use to create the vHBA. However,
between reboots, it's possible that the <parent> changes its scsi_hostX
to scsi_hostY and saved XML to perform the creation will either fail or
create a vHBA using the wrong parent.

So add the ability to provide "wwnn" and "wwpn" or "fabric_wwn" to
the <parent> instead of a name of the scsi_hostN that is the parent.
The allowed XML will thus be:

  <parent>scsi_host3</parent>  (current)

or

  <parent wwnn='$WWNN' wwpn='$WWPN'/>

or

  <parent fabric_wwn='$WWNN'/>

Using the wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn ensures the same 'scsi_hostN' is
selected between hardware reconfigs or host reboots. The fabric_wwn
Using the wwnn/wwpn pair will provide the most specific search option,
while fabric_wwn will at least ensure usage of the same SAN, but maybe
not the same scsi_hostN.

This patch will add the new fields to the nodedev.rng for input purposes
only since the input XML is essentially thrown away, no need to Format
the values since they'd already be printed as part of the scsi_host
data block.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByWWNs will take the parent "wwnn" and
"wwpn" in order to search the list of devices for matching capability
data fields wwnn and wwpn.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByFabricWWN will take the parent "fabric_wwn"
in order to search the list of devices for matching capability data field
fabric_wwn.

78661cb1f4 conf: Display <physical> in output of voldef
Although the virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfo will update the
target.physical value, there is no way to provide that information
via the virStorageGetVolInfo API since it only returns the capacity
and allocation of a volume. So as described in commit id '0282ca45',
it should be possible to generate an output only <physical> value
for that purpose.

This patch generates the <physical> value in the volume XML output
for the sole purpose of being able to view/see the value to allow
someone to parse the XML in order to obtain the value.

Update the documentation to describe the output only nature.

5a26d1ce12 Point to the new libvirt-go bindings
The github.com/rgbkrk/libvirt-go bindings were the most complete
bindings historically, but their API coverage stops at 1.2.4,
with exception of a couple of newer APIs.

The new bindings at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-go.git;a=log
how have (almost[1]) 100% API coverage all the way to 2.5.0. They also
expose the APIs in a way that allows for much stronger go type
checking by the compiler, and expose typed parameters as explicit
structs. Finally the bindings are able to conditionally compile against
any libvirt version 1.2.0 -> 2.5.0 without use of go build tags.

Change the docs to point to these new bindings, since they'll be
a better bet for users long term.

[1] virEvent & virStream callbacks are still TODO to be fixed
    real soon.
