b170eb99f5 Add two new security label types
Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.

With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.

This patch introduces two new security label types

 - default:  the host configuration decides whether to run the
             guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
 - none:     the guest will run unconfined by security policy

The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement

  security_default_confined = 1|0  (default == 1)
  security_require_confined = 1|0  (default == 0)

397e6a705b conf: add rawio attribute to disk element of domain XML
This patch adds a new attribute "rawio" to the "disk" element
 of domain XML. Valid values of "rawio" attribute are "yes"
 and "no".
 rawio='yes' indicates the disk is desirous of CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

 If you specify the following XML:

 <disk type='block' device='lun' rawio='yes'>
  ...
 </disk>

 the domain will be granted CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
 (of course, the domain have to be executed with root privilege)

NOTE:
   - "rawio" attribute is only valid when device='lun'
   - At the moment, any other disks you won't use rawio can use rawio.

3801831cdf qemu: add "romfile" support to specify device boot ROM
This patch addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781562

Along with the "rombar" option that controls whether or not a boot rom
is made visible to the guest, qemu also has a "romfile" option that
allows specifying a binary file to present as the ROM BIOS of any
emulated or passthrough PCI device. This patch adds support for
specifying romfile to both passthrough PCI devices, and emulated
network devices that attach to the guest's PCI bus (just about
everything other than ne2k_isa).

One example of the usefulness of this option is described in the
bugzilla report: 82576 sriov network adapters don't provide a ROM BIOS
for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of such a ROM is
available, and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.

In libvirt's xml, the new option is configured like this:

   <hostdev>
     ...
     <rom file='/etc/fake/boot.bin'/>
     ...
   </hostdev

(similarly for <interface>).

3284ac046f qemu: (and conf) support rombar for network devices
When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.

After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).

c160ce3316 QEMU guest agent support
There is now a standard QEMU guest agent that can be installed
and given a virtio serial channel

    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
    </channel>

The protocol that runs over the guest agent is JSON based and
very similar to the JSON monitor. We can't use exactly the same
code because there are some odd differences in the way messages
and errors are structured. The qemu_agent.c file is based on
a combination and simplification of qemu_monitor.c and
qemu_monitor_json.c

d9e0d8204b Add new attribute wrpolicy to <driver> element
This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.

When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.

Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
  <driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
  <source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
  <target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>

Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

f7dd3a4e62 Add support for cpu mode attribute
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

The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.

177db08775 qemu: add new disk device='lun' for bus='virtio' & type='block'
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.

As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.

device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:

1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
   version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
   better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
   CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).

2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
   SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
   -device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).

Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.

*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
 add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter

*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.

Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.

6cb4acce8b seclabel: extend XML to allow per-disk label overrides
When doing security relabeling, there are cases where a per-file
override might be appropriate.  For example, with a static label
and relabeling, it might be appropriate to skip relabeling on a
particular disk, where the backing file lives on NFS that lacks
the ability to track labeling.  Or with dynamic labeling, it might
be appropriate to use a custom (non-dynamic) label for a disk
specifically intended to be shared across domains.

The new XML resembles the top-level <seclabel>, but with fewer
options (basically relabel='no', or <label>text</label>):

<domain ...>
  ...
  <devices>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <source file='/path/to/image1'>
        <seclabel relabel='no'/> <!-- override for just this disk -->
      </source>
      ...
    </disk>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <source file='/path/to/image1'>
        <seclabel relabel='yes'> <!-- override for just this disk -->
          <label>system_u:object_r:shared_content_t:s0</label>
        </seclabel>
      </source>
      ...
    </disk>
    ...
  </devices>
  <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'>
    <baselabel>text</baselabel> <!-- used for all devices without override -->
  </seclabel>
</domain>

This patch only introduces the XML and documentation; future patches
will actually parse and make use of it.  The intent is that we can
further extend things as needed, adding a per-device <seclabel> in
more places (such as the source of a console device), and possibly
allowing a <baselabel> instead of <label> for labeling where we want
to reuse the cNNN,cNNN pair of a dynamically labeled domain but a
different base label.

              migrate/restore/revert
- optional  - drop if missing at any start attempt.

However, this patch introduces only XML part of this new
functionality.

Clarify some of the effects of managed passthrough <hostdev> devices;
with recent changes (commit d093547), a nodedev-reattach is only needed
to pair up to an explicit nodedev-dettach (but beware that older
virt-manager has a bug where it uses explicit nodedev-dettach under the
hood when using the gui to hotplug a hostdev device).

da8127e6b3 Introduce <driver> under <filesystem> to support open-by-handle
VirtFS allows the user to choose between path/handle based fs driver.
As of now, libvirt hardcoded path based driver only. This patch provides
a solution to allow user to choose between path/handle based fs driver.

Sample:

    <filesystem type='mount'>
      <driver type='handle'/>
      <source dir='/folder/to/share1'/>
      <target dir='mount_tag1'/>
    </filesystem>

    <filesystem type='mount'>
      <driver type='path'/>
      <source dir='/folder/to/share2'/>
      <target dir='mount_tag2'/>
    </filesystem>

4bb4109f7b qemu: add separate rerror_policy for disk errors
Previously libvirt's disk device XML only had a single attribute,
error_policy, to control both read and write error policy, but qemu
has separate options for controlling read and write. In one case
(enospc) a policy is allowed for write errors but not read errors.

This patch adds a separate attribute that sets only the read error
policy. If just error_policy is set, it will apply to both read and
write error policy (previous behavior), but if the new rerror_policy
attribute is set, it will override error_policy for read errors only.
Possible values for rerror_policy are "stop", "report", and "ignore"
("report" is the qemu-controlled default for rerror_policy when
error_policy isn't specified).

For consistency, the value "report" has been added to the possible
values for error_policy as well.

c329db7180 qemu: make PCI multifunction support more manual
When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174

and the discussion before and after

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html

This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:

  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
           slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>

In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.

With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.

A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).

dc79852af8 qemu: add ability to set PCI device "rombar" on or off
This patch was made in response to:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095

In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).

rombar is forced on/off by adding:

  <rom bar='on|off'/>

inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.

At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
