We had a bit too many elements crammed in there. Separate it into different
headings:
- CPU Allocation (<vcpus>)
- CPU Tuning (<cputune>)
- Memory allocation (<memory> and <currentMemory>)
- Memory backing (<memoryBacking>)
- Memory tuning (<memtune>)
- Numa tuning (<numatune>)
- Block I/O tuning (<blkiotune>)
Define new 'bandwidth' element with possible child element 'inbound'
and 'outbound' addressing incoming and outgoing traffic respectively:
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='2000' burst='5120'/>
<outbound average='500'/>
</bandwidth>
Leaving any element out means not to shape traffic in that
direction.
The units for average and peak (rate) are in kilobytes per second,
for burst (size) are just in kilobytes.
This element can be inserted into domain's 'interface' and
'network'.
Set up the types for the block pull functions and insert them into the
virDriver structure definition. Symbols are exported in this patch to
prevent
documentation compile failures.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: new API
* src/driver.h: add the new entry to the driver structure
* python/generator.py: fix compiler errors, the actual python bindings

* src/libvirt_public.syms: export symbols
* docs/apibuild.py: Extend 'unsigned long' parameter exception to this

The network XML is updated in the following ways:
1) The <forward> element can now contain a list of forward interfaces:
<forward .... >
<interface dev='eth10'/>
<interface dev='eth11'/>
<interface dev='eth12'/>
<interface dev='eth13'/>
</forward>
The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
both on input, they must match.
2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
are supported:
private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:
<interface type='direct'>
<source mode='${mode}' dev='${dev}>
...
</interface>
where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
selected from the list given in <forward>.
bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='${bridge-name}'/>
...
</interface>
3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
"portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
interface.
4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
portgroups on the network.
the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:
1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')
2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.
3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.
The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will
soon also be used in the network XML. To prepare for that change, this
patch moves the structure definition into util/network.h and the parse
and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).
Commit 8665f85 introduced a slight regression in doc generation,
since make only quits a rule on the first failed command ending
with a newline rather than a semicolon.
* docs/Makefile.am (html/index.html): Don't use xmllint unless
xsltproc succeeded.
* .gitignore: Ignore recently updated stamp file name.
The current API build scripts will continue and exit with a zero
status even if they find problems. This has been the cause of many
build problems, or hidden build errors, in the past. Change the
scripts so they always exit with a non-zero status for any problems
they do not understand. Also turn off all debug output by default
so they respect $(AM_V_GEN)
* docs/Makefile.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) for API/HTML scripts
* docs/apibuild.py, python/generator.py: Exit with non-zero status
if problems are found. Also be silent, not outputting any debug
messages.
* src/Makefile.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) for ESX generator
* python/Makefile.am: Tweak rule
The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org
contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of
the underlying virt technologies. The entry for KVM points to
http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example. People coming to libvirt.org
for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're
probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies. This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead. It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them. Finally, it adds a line about networking support.
v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages.
website: Add project links to KVM/QEMU driver page
website: Add project links to Xen driver page

When using virCommandRunAsync and saving the pid for later, it
is useful to be able to reap that pid in the same way that it
would have been auto-reaped by virCommand if we had passed
NULL for the pid argument in the first place.
* src/util/command.c (virPidWait, virPidAbort): New functions,
created from...
(virCommandWait, virCommandAbort): ...bodies of these.
(includes): Drop duplicate <stdlib.h>. Ensure that our pid_t
assumptions hold.
(virCommandRunAsync): Improve documentation.
* src/util/command.h (virPidWait, virPidAbort): New prototypes.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export them.
* docs/internals/command.html.in: Document them.
Without this patch, the make rule in a VPATH build was trying to
invoke ../../docs/../../docs/todo.pl, which didn't exist.
* docs/Makefile.am (todo.html.in): Using $< already implies
$(srcdir) in GNU make VPATH situations.
Set StrictHostKeyChecking=no to auto-accept new ssh host keys if the
no_verify extra parameter was specified. This won't disable host key
checking for already known hosts. Includes a test and documentation.
Kernel cmdline args can be passed to xen pv domains even when a
bootloader is specified. The current config-to-sxpr mapping
ignores cmdline when bootloader is present.
Since the xend sub-driver is used with many xen toolstack versions,
this patch takes conservative approach of adding an else block to
existing !def->os.bootloader, and only appends sxpr if def->os.cmdline
is non-NULL.
V2: Fix existing testcase broken by this patch and add new testcases
This patch creates new <bios> element which, at this time has only the
attribute useserial='yes|no'. This attribute allow users to use
Serial Graphics Adapter and see BIOS messages from the very first moment
domain boots up. Therefore, users can choose boot medium, set PXE, etc.
This option accepts 3 values:
-keep, to keep current client connected (Spice+VNC)
-disconnect, to disconnect client (Spice)
-fail, to fail setting password if there is a client connected (Spice)

No change in wording. One spacing change in a <pre>, noticed because
of odd XML formatting online; the rest is in free-flowing text to
make it easier to see nesting levels in the document.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Adjust spacing. Break long lines.
domain.rng, network.rng, and interface.rng already use a few of the
same types (or in some cases *should* but don't), and an upcoming code
change will have them sharing even more. To prepare for that, this
patch takes those common data type definitions and moves them into
basictypes.rng.
This may break some rule about the need to RNG files to be autonomous
or something, but I saw that storageencryption.rng is used in this
way, so I figured it must not be completely against the law...
Add a new attribute to the <seclabel> XML to allow resource
relabelling to be enabled with static label usage.
<seclabel model='selinux' type='static' relabel='yes'>
<label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c392,c662</label>
</seclabel>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add relabel attribute
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Parse
the 'relabel' attribute
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Unconditionally clear out the
'imagelabel' attribute
* src/security/security_apparmor.c: Skip based on 'relabel'
attribute instead of label type
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Skip based on 'relabel'
attribute instead of label type and fill in <imagelabel>
attribute if relabel is enabled.
Normally the dynamic labelling mode will always use a base
label of 'svirt_t' for VMs. Introduce a <baselabel> field
in the <seclabel> XML to allow this base label to be changed
eg
<seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'>
<baselabel>system_u:object_r:virt_t:s0</baselabel>
</seclabel>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <baselabel>
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Parsing
of base label
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Don't reset 'model' attribute if
a base label is specified
* src/security/security_apparmor.c: Refuse to support base label
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Use 'baselabel' when generating
label, if available
Add a page which documents how to configure lock managers,
focusing on use of sanlock with the QEMU/KVM driver
* docs/locking.html.in: Docs about lock managers
* docs/sitemap.html.in: Add lock manager config to

The sub-elements of <ip> had been placed at the same level of
indentation as ip itself, implying that they were really elements of
<network>. Within that, sub-elements of ip/dhcp were also at that same
level. These have been double-indented.
At the same time, I realized that the documentation for the new <dns>
element had been placed right in the middle of the description of the
sub-elements of <ip>. I moved it up out of the way.
This commit introduces names definition for the DNS hosts file using
the following syntax:
<dns>
<host ip="192.168.1.1">
<name>alias1</name>
<name>alias2</name>
</host>
</dns>

This commit introduces the <dns> element and <txt> record for the
virtual DNS network. The DNS TXT record can be defined using following
syntax in the network XML file:
<dns>
<txt name="example" value="example value" />
</dns>
Also, the Relax-NG scheme has been altered to allow the texts without
spaces only for the name element and some nitpicks about memory
free'ing have been fixed by Laine so therefore I'm adding Laine to the
SOB clause ;-)

This fixes a number of issues most of them raised by Eric Blake on the
generated documentation output:
- parsing of "long long int" and similar
- add parsing of unions within a struct
- remove spurious " * " fron comments on structure fields and enums
- fix concatenation of base type and name in arrays
- extend XSLT to cope with union in structs
* docs/apibuild.py: fix and extend API extraction tool
* docs/newapi.xsl: extend the stylesheets to cope with union in
public structures
For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
From a security pov copy and paste between the guest and the client is not
always desirable. So we need to be able to enable/disable this. The best place
to do this from an administration pov is on the hypervisor, so the qemu cmdline
is getting a spice disable-copy-paste option, see bug 693645. Example qemu
invocation:
qemu -spice port=5932,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste

For backwards compatibility, if no <video> is set but there is a
<graphics> tag, then we add a default <video> according to the
guest type. Add docs to tell the user about this to not make
them confused. Especially if they remove the video (such as via
"virsh edit"), it will be surprised for them to see the video
element is still in domain XML.
Partial revert of commit c3c30d4de9.
* docs/Makefile.am (internals/%.html.tmp): Restore MKDIR_P; it is
needed for intermediate file after all.
