Every running QEMU process we are willing to reconnect (i.e., at least
3.1.0) supports migration events and we can assume the capability is
already enabled since last time libvirt daemon connected to its monitor.
Well, it's not guaranteed though. If libvirt 1.2.17 or older was used to
start QEMU 3.1.0 or newer, migration events would not be enabled. And if
the user decides to upgrade libvirt from 1.2.17 to 8.4.0 while the QEMU
process is still running, they would not be able to migrate the domain
because of disabled migration events. I think we do not really need to
worry about this scenario as libvirt 1.2.17 is 7 years old while QEMU
3.1.0 was released only 3.5 years ago. Thus a chance someone would be
running such configuration should be fairly small and a combination with
upgrading 1.2.17 to 8.4.0 (or newer) with running domains should get it
pretty much to zero. The issue would disappear ff the ancient libvirt is

Add the ability to configure a qemu-vdagent in guest domains. This
device is similar to the spice vdagent channel except that qemu handles
the spice-vdagent protocol messages itself rather than routing them over
a spice protocol channel.
The qemu-vdagent device has two notable configuration options which
determine whether qemu will handle particular vdagent features:
'clipboard' and 'mouse'.
The 'clipboard' option allows qemu to synchronize its internal clipboard
manager with the guest clipboard, which enables client<->guest clipboard
synchronization for non-spice guests such as vnc.
The 'mouse' option allows absolute mouse positioning to be sent over the
vdagent channel rather than using a usb or virtio tablet device.
Sample configuration:
<channel type='qemu-vdagent'>

While we don't want to aim for the shortest list of disabled features in

while looking at any of the input models for which we're trying to
compute a baseline CPU model. Given a set of input models, we always
want to take the least capable one of them (i.e., the one with shortest
list of disabled features) or a better model which is not one of the
input models.
So when considering an input model, we just check whether its list of
disabled features is shorter than the currently best one. When looking
at other models we check both enabled and disabled features while
penalizing disabled features as implemented by the previous patch.

For finding the best matching CPU model for a given set of features
while we don't know the CPU signature (i.e., when computing a baseline
CPU model) we've been using a "shortest list of features" heuristics.
This works well if new CPU models are supersets of older models, but
that's not always the case. As a result it may actually select a new CPU
model as a baseline while removing some features from it to make it
compatible with older models. This is in general worse than using an old
CPU model with a bunch of added features as a guest OS or apps may crash
when using features that were disabled.
On the other hand we don't want to end up with a very old model which
would guarantee no disabled features as it could stop a guest OS or apps
from using some features provided by the CPU because they would not
expect them on such an old CPU.
This patch changes the heuristics to something in between. Enabled and
disabled features are counted separately so that a CPU model requiring
some features to be disabled looks worse than a model with fewer
disabled features even if its complete list of features is longer. The
penalty given for each additional disabled feature gets bigger to make
longer list of disabled features look even worse.
