c2d4b4f704 virsh: improve send-key documentation
The 'virsh man' description of send-key was incomplete and used the
old style (literal 'optional name' instead of '[name]' metasyntax).
Meanwhile, none of the other virsh help texts include examples, so
I moved it out of virsh help and into the man page.

* tools/virsh.pod (send-key): Give better details.
* tools/virsh.c (info_send_key): Drop example from here.

27c8526053 start: allow discarding managed save
There have been several instances of people having problems with
a broken managed save file, and not aware that they could use
'virsh managedsave-remove dom' to fix things.  Making it possible
to do this as part of starting a domain makes the same functionality
easier to find, and one less API call.

flag.

93fb3acc8d Fix incorrect implication about list options
The description of the list command seemed to suggest that it could
take a set of domains as an argument, which is not correct in the
current HEAD.  If virsh list is intended to take a list of domains,
then this patch should be NAK'd and a bug opened against virsh list.

Reported by hachi on #virt

Osier pointed out that transient domains are not defined, so what I
had originally proposed wasn't quite correct.

4b7a8e9c0d virsh: make vcpucount use --current consistently
Rename the existing --current flag to the new name --active,
while adding a new flag --current to expose the new
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT flag of virDomainGetVcpusFlags.

For backwards compability, the output does not change (even
though the label "current" no longer matches the spelling of
the option that would trigger that number in isolation), and
we accept "--current --live" as an undocumented synonym for
"--active --live" to avoid breaking any existing clients.

* tools/virsh.c (cmdVcpucount): Add --active flag, and rearrange
existing flag handling to expose VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT support.

83e849c197 undefine: Extend virsh undefine to support the new flag
If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
not specified, then it fails with an error telling the user
that a managed save image still exists.

If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
specified, it invokes virDomainUndefineFlags. If
virDomainUndefineFlags fails, then it tries to remove the managed
save image using virDomainManagedSaveRemove first, with
invoking virDomainUndefine following. (For compatibility between
new virsh with this patch and older libvirt without this patch).

Similarly if the domain has no managed save image. See the codes for
detail.

NOTE: Have not removing the codes checking if the domain is running
in function "cmdUndefine", it will go along with qemu driver's fix
(allow to undefine a running domain).

08d3b0a2f8 docs: improve virsh man page synopses
"optional" is not a very good meta-syntactic construct in our man
page.  I scrubbed this, and additionally improved some documentation
on mutually exclusive options.  For example,

[[--live] [--config] | [--current]]

implies a set of optional flags, where within the set you can have
either --current or a choice of 0, 1, or both --live and --config.

* tools/virsh.pod: Use "[name]" rather than "optional name" for
optional arguments.

--serial option allows user to specify serial string of disk device

--shareable option allows user to specify whether the disk device is
shareable between domains when attaching a disk device from virsh
command line.

--address option allows user to specify address of disk device when
attaching a disk device.

This patch adds the --current option to "virsh setvcpus"

3ba937da42 Allow automatic kill of guests when a connection is closed
If an application is using libvirt + KVM as a piece of its
internal infrastructure to perform a specific task, it can
be desirable to guarentee the VM dies when the virConnectPtr
disconnects from libvirtd. This ensures the app can't leak
any VMs it was using. Adding VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL as
a flag when starting guests enables this to be done.

2903534a30 vcpupin: improve vcpupin definition of virsh vcpupin
When using vcpupin command, we have to speficy comma-separated list as cpulist,
but this is tedious in case the number of phsycal cpus is large.
This patch improves this by introducing special markup "-" and "^" which are
similar to XML schema of "cpuset" attribute.

The example:

 # virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0-15,^8

 is identical to

 # virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

NOTE: The expression is sequentially evaluated, so "0-15,^8" is not identical
to "^8,0-15".

a73bbfc8be qemu: Remove the managed state file only if restoring succeeded
1) Both "qemuDomainStartWithFlags" and "qemuAutostartDomain" try to
restore the domain from managedsave'ed image if it exists (by
invoking "qemuDomainObjRestore"), but it unlinks the image even
if restoring fails, which causes data loss. (This problem exists
for "virsh managedsave dom; virsh start dom").

The fix for is to unlink the managed state file only if restoring
succeeded.

2) For "virsh save dom; virsh restore dom;", it can cause data
corruption if one reuse the saved state file for restoring. Add
doc to tell user about it.

3) In "qemuDomainObjStart", if "managed_save" is NULL, we shouldn't
fallback to start the domain, skipping it to cleanup as a incidental
fix. Discovered by Eric.

that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.

Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.

The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.

Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

2d70a46911 setmem: add the new options to "virsh setmem" command
This patch adds the new options (--live and --config)  to "virsh setmem" command.
The behavior of above options is the same as that of "virsh setvcpus" and so on.
That is, when the --config option is specified, a modification is effective for
the persistent domain. Moreover we can modify the memory size of inactive domains
as well as that of active domains.

2169472ab6 qemu: Add shortcut for HMP pass through
Currently users who want to use virDomainQemuMonitorCommand() API or
it's virsh equivalent has to use the same protocol as libvirt uses for
communication to qemu. Since the protocol is QMP with current qemu and
HMP much more usable for humans, one ends up typing something like the
following:

    virsh qemu-monitor-command DOM \
'{"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"info kvm"}}'

which is not a very convenient way of debugging qemu.

This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says
that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with
qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the
example above is simplified to just

    virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm"

Also the result is converted from

    {"return":"kvm support: enabled\r\n"}

to just plain HMP:

    kvm support: enabled

If libvirt talks to qemu in HMP, --hmp flag is obviously a noop.

d9ad8ac392 Add VIR_DIV_UP to divide memory or storage request sizes with round up
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.

This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.

Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.

Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.

Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.

f15cad2916 Force guest suspend at timeout
If the memory of guest OS is changed constantly, the live migration
can not be ended ever for ever.

We can use the command 'virsh migrate-setmaxdowntime' to control the
live migration. But the value of maxdowntime is diffcult to calculate
because it depends on the transfer speed of network and constantly
changing memroy size. We need a easy way to control the live migration.

This patch adds the support of forcing guest to suspend at timeout.
With this patch, when we migrate the guest OS, we can specify a
timeout. If the live migration timeouts, auto-suspend the guest OS,
where the migration will complete offline.

a2943243c4 virsh: rework command parsing
Old virsh command parsing mashes all the args back into a string and
miss the quotes, this patches fix it. It is also needed for introducing
qemu-monitor-command which is very useful.

This patches uses the new vshCommandParser abstraction and adds
vshCommandArgvParse() for arguments vector, so we don't need
to mash arguments vector into a command sting.

And the usage was changed:
old:
virsh [options] [commands]

new:
virsh [options]... [<command_string>]
virsh [options]... <command> [args...]

So we still support commands like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml D" was parsed as a commands-string.

and support commands like:
we will not mash them into a string, we use new argv parser for it.

But we don't support the command like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml" was parsed as a command-name, but we have no such command-name.

f3661756c1 virsh: support VISUAL, and allow metacharacters in EDITOR
Common Unix practice is to prefer VISUAL over EDITOR, particularly if
the editor of choice spawns a new window.  Thus, it is also common to
see settings like EDITOR='emacs -nw', with the expectation that the
shell will parse this as an argument to 'emacs' and not try to invoke
a file containing a space.

If a user puts junk in EDITOR, they deserve what they get (much more
than virsh will misbehave); furthermore, sudo scrubs EDITOR by
default.  So the blind use of metacharacters in EDITOR should not be
considered too much of a security issue.

* tools/virsh.c (editFile): Prefer VISUAL over EDITOR.  Don't
reject shell metacharacters in EDITOR.
