Since libvirt switched to QMP capabilities probing recently, it starts
QEMU process used for this probing with -daemonize, which means
virCommandAbort can no longer reach these processes. As a result of
that, restarting libvirtd will leave several new QEMU processes behind.
Let's use QEMU's -pidfile and use it to kill the process when QMP caps
probing is done.
Start a QEMU process using
$QEMU -S -no-user-config -nodefaults \
-nographic -M none -qmp unix:/some/path,server,nowait
and talk QMP over stdio to discover what capabilities the
binary supports. This works for QEMU 1.2.0 or later and
for older QEMU automatically fallback to the old approach
of parsing -help and related command line args.

Currently the qemuCapsParseDeviceStr method has a bunch of open
coded string searches/comparisons to detect devices and their
properties. Soon this data will be obtained from QMP queries
instead of -device help output. Maintaining the list of device
and properties in two places is undesirable. Thus the existing
qemuCapsParseDeviceStr() method needs to be refactored to
separate the device types and properties from the actual
search code.
Thus the -device help output is now parsed to construct a
list of device names, and device properties. These are then
checked against a set of datatables to set the capability
flags

The qemuMonitorSetCapabilities() API is used to initialize the QMP
protocol capabilities. It has since been abused to initialize some
libvirt internal capabilities based on command/event existance too.
Move the latter code out into qemuCapsProbeQMP() in the QEMU
capabilities source file instead

When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover
the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a
simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This
avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the
startup path.
As a nice benefit we can now remove all the nasty hacks from
the test suite which were done to avoid having to exec QEMU
on the test system. The building of the -cpu command line
can just rely on data we pre-populate in qemuCapsPtr.

Recently, there have been some improvements made to qemu so it
supports seamless migration or something very close to it.
However, it requires libvirt interaction. Once qemu is migrated,
the SPICE server needs to send its internal state to the destination.
Once it's done, it fires SPICE_MIGRATE_COMPLETED event and this
fact is advertised in 'query-spice' output as well.
We must not kill qemu until SPICE server finishes the transfer.

The "dump-guest-core' option is new option for the machine type
(-machine pc,dump-guest-core) that controls whether the guest memory
will be marked as dumpable.
While testing this, I've found out that the value for the '-M' options
is not parsed correctly when additional parameters are used. However,
when '-machine' is used for the same options, it gets parsed as
expected. That's why this patch also modifies the parsing and creating
of the command line, so both '-M' and '-machine' are recognized. In
QEMU's help there is only mention of the 'machine parameter now with
no sign of the older '-M'.
This series adds support to run QEMU with seccomp sandbox enabled. It can be
configured in qemu.conf to on, off, or the QEMU default, which is off in 1.2.
Default value is the QEMU default.
This assumes ide-drive.wwn, ide-hd.wwn, ide-cd.wwn were supported
at the same time, similar for scsi-disk.wwn, scsi-hd.wwn, and
scsi-cd.wwn. So only two new caps (QEMU_CAPS_IDE_DRIVE_WWN,
and QEMU_CAPS_SCSI_DISK_WWN) are introduced.
Introduce a qemuCapsNewForBinary() API which creates a new
QEMU capabilities object, populated with data relating to
a specific QEMU binary. The qemuCaps object is also given
a timestamp, which makes it possible to detect when the
cached capabilities for a binary are out of date

The current qemu capabilities are stored in a virBitmapPtr
object, whose type is exposed to callers. We want to store
more data besides just the flags, so we need to move to a
struct type. This object will also need to be reference
counted, since we'll be maintaining a cache of data per
binary. This change introduces a 'qemuCapsPtr' virObject
class. Most of the change is just renaming types and

The previous check for YAJL would have many undesirable
consequences, the most important being that it caused the
capabilities XML to lose all <guest> elements. There is
no user visible feedback as to what is wrong in this respect,
merely a syslog message. The empty capabilities causes
libvirtd to then throw away all guest XML configs that are
stored.
This changes the code so that the check for YAJL is only
performed at the time we attempt to spawn a QEMU process

A "ide-drive" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
Upstream qemu splitted "ide-drive" into "ide-hd" and "ide-cd"
since commit 1f56e32, and ",media=cdrom" is not required for
ide-cd anymore. "ide-drive" is still supported for backwards
compatibility, but no doubt we should go foward.
A "scsi-disk" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
But upstream qemu splitted "scsi-disk" into "scsi-hd" and
"scsi-cd" since commit b443ae, and ",media=cdrom" is not
required for scsi-cd anymore. "scsi-disk" is still supported
for backwards compatibility, but no doubt we should go
foward.
RHEL 6.2 was released with an early version of block jobs, which only
worked on the qed file format, where the commands were spelled with
underscore (contrary to QMP style), and where 'block_job_cancel' was
synchronous and did not trigger an event.
The upcoming qemu 1.1 release has fixed these short-comings [1][2]:
the commands now work on multiple file types, are spelled with dash,
and 'block-job-cancel' is asynchronous and emits an event upon conclusion.

This patch recognizes the new spellings, and fixes virDomainBlockRebase
to give a graceful error when talking to a too-old qemu on a partial

In the future (my next patch in fact) we may want to make
decisions depending on qemu having a monitor command or not.
Therefore, we want to set qemuCaps flag instead of querying
on the monitor each time we are about to make that decision.
The qemu developers have made it clear that modern qemu will no
longer guarantee human monitor command stability; furthermore,
some features, such as async events, are only supported via qmp.
If we are compiled without support for handling JSON, we cannot
expect to sanely interact with modern qemu.
However, things must continue to build on RHEL 5, where qemu
is stuck at 0.10, and where yajl is not available.
Another benefit of this patch: future additions of new monitor
commands need only focus on qemu_monitor_json.c, instead of
also wasting time with qemu_monitor_text.c.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags): Report
error if yajl is missing but qemu requires qmp.

There was missing capability for blkiotune and thus specifying these
settings caused libvirt to run qemu with invalid parameters and then
reporting qemu error instead of the standard libvirt one. The support

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.

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.
This patch adds two capabilities flags to deal with various aspects
of supporting SG_IO commands on virtio-blk-pci devices:
QEMU_CAPS_VIRTIO_BLK_SCSI
set if -device virtio-blk-pci accepts the scsi="on|off" option
When present, this is on by default, but can be set to off to disable
SG_IO functions.
QEMU_CAPS_VIRTIO_BLK_SG_IO
set if SG_IO commands are supported in the virtio-blk-pci driver
(present since qemu 0.11 according to a qemu developer, if I
understood correctly)
