1b1402b90f xml: drop unenforced minimum memory limit from RNG
The test domain allows <memory>0</memory>, but the RNG was stating
that memory had to be at least 4096000 bytes.  Hypervisors should
enforce their own limits, rather than complicating the RNG.

Meanwhile, some copy and paste had introduced some fishy constructs
in various unit tests.

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (memoryKB, memoryKBElement): Drop
limit that isn't enforced in code.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDefParseXML): Require current
<= maximum.

2e14861224 storage: support more scaling suffixes
Disk manufacturers are fond of quoting sizes in powers of 10,
rather than powers of 2 (after all, 2.1 GB sounds larger than
2.0 GiB, even though the exact opposite is true).  So, we might
as well follow coreutils' lead in supporting three types of
suffix: single letter ${u} (which we already had) and ${u}iB
for the power of 2, and ${u}B for power of 10.

Additionally, it is impossible to create a file with more than
2**63 bytes, since off_t is signed (if you have enough storage
to even create one 8EiB file, I'm jealous).  This now reports
failure up front rather than down the road when the kernel
finally refuses an impossible size.

* src/conf/storage_conf.c (virStorageSize): Use new function.
* docs/formatstorage.html.in: Document it.
* tests/storagevolxml2xmlin/vol-file-backing.xml: Test it.

265457845f xml: output memory unit for clarity
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.

Tests were updated via:

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

(scaledInteger): New define.

cb7583e161 xml: share 'unit' in RNG
The code supported unit='E' for "exabyte", but the RNG did not;
conversely, the RNG supported "z" and "y" but the code did not
(I'm jealous if you have that much storage, particularly since
it won't fit in 64-bit off_t).  Also, the code supported
<allocation unit='...'>, but not the RNG.

In an effort to make 'unit' more worthwhile in future patches,
it's easier to share it between files.

In making this factorization, note that absFilePath is more
permissive than 'path', so storage pools and storage volumes
will now validate with a wider set of file names than before.
I don't think this should be a problem in practice.

* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng: Include basic types, rather than
repeating things here.
* docs/schemas/storagevol.rng: Likewise.
* docs/schemas/basictypes.rng: Add 'unsignedLong', 'unit', and fix

9dfdeadc8a docs: use correct terminology for 1024 bytes
Yes, I like kilobytes better than kibibytes (when I say kilobytes,

3b1c191fe7 conf: parse/format type='hostdev' network interfaces
This is the new interface type that sets up an SR-IOV PCI network
device to be assigned to the guest with PCI passthrough after
initializing some network device-specific things from the config
(e.g. MAC address, virtualport profile parameters). Here is an example
of the syntax:

  <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
    <source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='3'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='7' function='0'/>
  </interface>

This would assign the PCI card from bus 0 slot 4 function 3 on the
host, to bus 0 slot 7 function 0 on the guest, but would first set the
MAC address of the card to 00:11:22:33:44:55.

NB: The parser and formatter don't care if the PCI card being
specified is a standard single function network adapter, or a virtual
function (VF) of an SR-IOV capable network adapter, but the upcoming
code that implements the back end of this config will work *only* with
SR-IOV VFs. This is because modifying the mac address of a standard
network adapter prior to assigning it to a guest is pointless - part
of the device reset that occurs during that process will reset the MAC
address to the value programmed into the card's firmware.

Although it's not supported by any of libvirt's hypervisor drivers,
usb network hostdevs are also supported in the parser and formatter
for completeness and consistency. <source> syntax is identical to that
for plain <hostdev> devices, except that the <address> element should
have "type='usb'" added if bus/device are specified:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' device='4'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

If the vendor/product form of usb specification is used, type='usb'
is implied:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <vendor id='0x0012'/>
      <product id='0x24dd'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

Again, the upcoming patch to fill in the backend of this functionality
will log an error and fail with "Unsupported Config" if you actually
try to assign a USB network adapter to a guest using <interface
type='hostdev'> - just use a standard <hostdev> entry in that case
(and also for single-port PCI adapters).

c95c90ee4a Install API XML desc to a standard location
Language bindings may well want to use the libvirt-api.xml and
libvirt-qemu-api.xml files to either auto-generate themselves,
or sanity check the manually written bindings for completeness.
Currently these XML files are not installed as standard, merely
ending up as a %doc file in the RPM.

This changes them to be installed into $prefix/share/libvirt/apis/
The *-refs.xml files are not installed, since those are only
useful during generation of the online API doc files.

The pkg-config file is enhanced so that you can query the install
location of the API files. eg

  # pkg-config --variable=libvirt_qemu_api libvirt

c052d8a89f seclabel: make code and RNG match
Commit b170eb99 introduced a bug: domains that had an explicit
<seclabel type='none'/> when started would not be reparsed if
libvirtd restarted.  It turns out that our testsuite was not
exercising this because it never tried anything but inactive
parsing.  Additionally, the live XML for such a domain failed
to re-validate.  Applying just the tests/ portion of this patch
will expose the bugs that are fixed by the other two files.

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (seclabel): Allow relabel under
type='none'.

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)

* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new

99fd69c3de block rebase: add new API virDomainBlockRebase
Qemu is adding the ability to do a partial rebase.  That is, given:

base <- intermediate <- current

virDomainBlockPull will produce:

current

but qemu now has the ability to leave base in the chain, to produce:

base <- current

Note that current qemu can only do a forward merge, and only with
the current image as the destination, which is fully described by
this API without flags.  But in the future, it may be possible to
enhance this API for additional scenarios by using flags:

Merging the current image back into a previous image (that is,
undoing a live snapshot), could be done by passing base as the
destination and flags with a bit requesting a backward merge.

Merging any other part of the image chain, whether forwards (the
backing image contents are pulled into the newer file) or backwards
(the deltas recorded in the newer file are merged back into the
backing file), could also be done by passing a new flag that says
that base should be treated as an XML snippet rather than an
absolute path name, where the XML could then supply the additional
instructions of which part of the image chain is being merged into
any other part.

This patch adds a new attribute "rawio" to the "disk" element
 of domain XML. Valid values of "rawio" attribute are "yes"

 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).

4d71ff450f metadata: group metadata next to description
It's better to group all the metadata together.  This is a
cosmetic output change; since the RNG allows interleave, it
doesn't matter where the user stuck it on input, and an XPath
query will find the same information when parsing the output.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDefFormatInternal): Output
metadata earlier.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Update documentation.
* tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout/metadata.xml: Update test.
* tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-metadata.xml: Likewise.

fa981fc945 Allow custom metadata in domain configuration XML
Applications can now insert custom nodes and hierarchies into domain
configuration XML. Although currently not enforced, applications are
required to use their own namespaces on every custom node they insert,
with only one top-level element per namespace.

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

* src/qemu/qemu_agent.c, src/qemu/qemu_agent.h: Support for
  talking to the agent for shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add thread
  helpers for talking to the agent
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Connect to agent whenever starting
  a guest
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Make variable static

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
      <vendor>Intel</vendor>                         | XML but doesn't

a6f88cbd2d cpu: Optionally forbid fallback CPU models
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.

a20cc3cc4f Add documentation new ways to access members of variables

80e9a5cd4c Introduce possibility to have an iterator per variable
This patch introduces the capability to use a different iterator per
variable.

The currently supported notation of variables in a filtering rule like

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A' srcportstart='$B'/>
  </rule>

processes the two lists 'A' and 'B' in parallel. This means that A and B
must have the same number of 'N' elements and that 'N' rules will be 
instantiated (assuming all tuples from A and B are unique).

In this patch we now introduce the assignment of variables to different
iterators. Therefore a rule like

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A[@1]' srcportstart='$B[@2]'/>
  </rule>

will now create every combination of elements in A with elements in B since
A has been assigned to an iterator with Id '1' and B has been assigned to an
iterator with Id '2', thus processing their value independently.

The first rule has an equivalent notation of

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A[@0]' srcportstart='$B[@0]'/>
  </rule>

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.

973af2362c Implement DNS SRV record into the bridge driver
Hi,
this is the fifth version of my SRV record for DNSMasq patch rebased
for the current codebase to the bridge driver and libvirt XML file to
include support for the SRV records in the DNS. The syntax is based on
DNSMasq man page and tests for both xml2xml and xml2argv were added as
well. There are some things written a better way in comparison with
version 4, mainly there's no hack in tests/networkxml2argvtest.c and
also the xPath context is changed to use a simpler query using the
virXPathInt() function relative to the current node.

Also, the patch is also fixing the networkxml2argv test to pass both
checks, i.e. both unit tests and also syntax check.

Please review,
Michal

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.

First suggested by Daniel P. Berrange here:

116d6af979 schema: rewrite seclabel rng to match code
The RNG for <seclabel> was too strict - if it was present, then it
had to have sub-elements, even if those didn't make sense for the
given attributes.  Also, we didn't have any tests of <seclabel>
parsing or XML output.

In this patch, I added more parsing tests than output tests (since
the output populates and/or reorders fields not present in certain
inputs).  Making the RNG reliable is a precursor to using <seclabel>
variants in more places in the XML in later patches.

blkiotune for setting/getting blkiotune.weight_device for any

For failing test case, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757097

This patch updates the XML schema to accept all valid hypervisor
types, as well as dropping hypervisor types that are not in use
by the current code base.

e352b16400 Export KVM Host Power Management capabilities
This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.

The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.

However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.

To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.

8951328619 Extend NWFilter parameter parser to cope with lists of values
This patch modifies the NWFilter parameter parser to support multiple
elements with the same name and to internally build a list of items.
An example of the XML looks like this:

        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.2.3'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.2.3.4'/>
        <parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.1.1'/>

The list of values is then stored in the newly introduced data type
virNWFilterVarValue.

The XML formatter is also adapted to print out all items in alphabetical
order sorted by 'name'.

This patch also fixes a bug in the XML schema on the way.

1d8a00cd22 Documentation about chains' priorities, lists of elements etc.
This patch adds several aspects of documentation about the network filtering
system:

- chains, chains' priorities and chains' default priorities
- talks about lists of elements, i.e., a variable assigned multiple values
  (part of already ACK-ed series)
- already mentions the vlan, stp and mac chains added later on
  (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01238.html)
- mentions limitations of vlan filtering (when sent by VM) on Linux systems

ea7c73a76f Enable chains with names having a known prefix
This patch enables chains that have a known prefix in their name.
Known prefixes are: 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'arp', 'rarp'. All prefixes
are also protocols that can be evaluated on the ebtables level.

Following the prefix they will be automatically connected to an interface's
'root' chain and jumped into following the protocol they evaluate, i.e.,
a table 'arp-xyz' will be accessed from the root table using

ebtables -t nat -A <iface root table> -p arp -j I-<ifname>-arp-xyz

thus generating a 'root' chain like this one here:

Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
-p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp
-p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp-xyz
-j DROP 

where the chain 'arp-xyz' is accessed for filtering of ARP packets.

2657822e87 Extend the filter XML to support priorities of chains
This patch extends the filter XML to support priorities of chains
in the XML. An example would be:

<filter name='allow-arpxyz' chain='arp-xyz' priority='200'>
[...]
</filter>

The permitted values for priorities are [-1000, 1000].
By setting the priority of a chain the order in which it is accessed
from the interface root chain can be influenced.

and QEMU drivers support this config.

23247a1efd esx: Support folders in the path of vpx:// connection URIs
Allow the datacenter and compute resource parts of the path
to be prefixed with folders. Therefore, the way the path is
parsed has changed. Before, it was split in 2 or 3 items and
the items' meanings were determined by their positions. Now
the path can have 2 or more items and the the vCenter server
is asked whether a folder, datacenter of compute resource
with the specified name exists at the current hierarchy level.

Before the datacenter and compute resource lookup automatically
traversed folders during lookup. This is logic got removed
and folders have to be specified explicitly.

The proper datacenter path including folders is now used when
accessing a datastore over HTTPS. This makes virsh dumpxml
and define work for datacenters in folders.
