The <pre/> section is rendered as-is on the page. That is, if all
the lines are prefixed with 4 spaces the rendered page will also
have them. Problem is if we put a box around such <pre/> because
the content might not fix into it.

when srcdir != builddir we end up including libvirt-common.h twice: from
$top_srcdir/include/libvirt-common.h and from
$builddir/include/libvirt-common.h leading to

  function virTypedParamsGetUInt from /tmp/buildd/libvirt-2.4.0/debian/build/docs/../include/libvirt/libvirt-common.h redeclared in /tmp/buildd/libvirt-2.4.0/docs/../include/libvirt/libvirt-common.h

   …

Only add the builddir to the search list if there is no pregenerated
libvirt-common.h.

Reuse the existing check that predates the libvirt.h → libvirt-common.h
split and that probably was meant for exactly that.

Certain operations may make the vcpu order information invalid. Since
the order is primarily used to ensure migration compatibility and has
basically no other user benefits, clear the order prior to certain
operations and document that it may be cleared.

All the operations that would clear the order can still be properly
executed by defining a new domain configuration rather than using the
helper APIs.

a46aa8852f docs: correct version requirements for <kvm><hidden='on'/></kvm>
When support was added for the kvm hidden='on' attribute in commit
d07116, the version requirement was listed as "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)". However, this was added when libvirt was at version 1.2.8 - it
is *QEMU* that must be at version 2.1.0 or later.

This went unnoticed for a very long time (over 2 years). Then a week
or two ago a new Windows convert in the #virt channel on OFTC was told
he needed to use this feature (to prevent nvidia drivers in a guest
from refusing to work due to being run in a virtual machine). There
was some problem with it being recognized and "someone" (it may have
been me, or may have been someone else, I don't remember) pointed out
that the documentation at

  http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html

says that it requires libvirt 2.1.0. The next several days were filled
with agony as a new convert to Linux first tried to upgrade a Linux
Mint host running their "LTS" version to something newer, then tried
to install a libvirt build built for Ubuntu onto this, and later back
to the old LTS Linux Mint. After this he tried building his own
libvirt from source (with all the expected problems), and finally
switched to Fedora. In the end it was hours and hours of everybody's
lives that they will never get back. To now learn that he didn't need
to do this (his original libvirt version was 1.3.3, so whatever his
problem was, it was elsewhere) makes the pain all that much worse.

To prevent this from happening again, this simple patch changes the
version requirement for the kvm hidden attribute from "2.1.0 (QEMU
only)" to "1.2.8 (QEMU 2.1.0)".

        <mode name='host-passthrough' supported='yes'/>
        <mode name='host-model' supported='yes'/>
        <mode name='custom' supported='yes'>
            <model>Broadwell</model>
            <model>Broadwell-noTSX</model>
            ...
        </mode>
    </cpu>

Applications can use it to inspect what CPU configuration modes are
supported for a specific combination of domain type, emulator binary,
guest architecture and machine type.

uses two separate ring buffers to pass data from/to guest they
named it explicitly rx_queue_size. We should expose it in our XML

13350a17e4 conf: Add new secret type "tls"
Add a new secret usage type known as "tls" - it will handle adding the
secret objects for various TLS objects that need to provide some sort
of passphrase in order to access the credentials.

The format is:

   <secret ephemeral='no' private='no'>
     <description>Sample TLS secret</description>
     <usage type='tls'>
       <name>mumblyfratz</name>
     </usage>
</secret>

Once defined and a passphrase set, future patches will allow the UUID
to be set in the qemu.conf file and thus used as a secret for various
TLS options such as a chardev serial TCP connection, a NBD client/server
connection, and migration.

9eb9106ea5 qemu: command: Add support for sparse vcpu topologies
Add support for using the new approach to hotplug vcpus using device_add
during startup of qemu to allow sparse vcpu topologies.

There are a few limitations imposed by qemu on the supported
configuration:
- vcpu0 needs to be always present and not hotpluggable
- non-hotpluggable cpus need to be ordered at the beginning
- order of the vcpus needs to be unique for every single hotpluggable
  entity

Qemu also doesn't really allow to query the information necessary to
start a VM with the vcpus directly on the commandline. Fortunately they
can be hotplugged during startup.

The new hotplug code uses the following approach:
- non-hotpluggable vcpus are counted and put to the -smp option
- qemu is started
- qemu is queried for the necessary information
- the configuration is checked
- the hotpluggable vcpus are hotplugged
- vcpus are started

This patch adds a lot of checking code and enables the support to
specify the individual vcpu element with qemu.

    <vcpu id='1' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='yes' order='2'/>
    <vcpu id='1' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/>
  </vcpus>
  ...

The 'enabled' attribute allows to control the state of the vcpu.
'hotpluggable' controls whether given vcpu can be hotplugged and 'order'
allows to specify the order to add the vcpus.

0b6336c2d9 network: allow limiting a <forwarder> element to certain domains
For some unknown reason the original implementation of the <forwarder>
element only took advantage of part of the functionality in the
dnsmasq feature it exposes - it allowed specifying the ip address of a
DNS server which *all* DNS requests would be forwarded to, like this:

   <forwarder addr='192.168.123.25'/>

This is a frontend for dnsmasq's "server" option, which also allows
you to specify a domain that must be matched in order for a request to
be forwarded to a particular server. This patch adds support for
specifying the domain. For example:

   <forwarder domain='example.com' addr='192.168.1.1'/>
   <forwarder domain='www.example.com'/>
   <forwarder domain='travesty.org' addr='10.0.0.1'/>

would forward requests for bob.example.com, ftp.example.com and
joe.corp.example.com all to the DNS server at 192.168.1.1, but would
forward requests for travesty.org and www.travesty.org to
10.0.0.1. And due to the second line, requests for www.example.com,
and odd.www.example.com would be resolved by the libvirt network's own
DNS server (i.e. thery wouldn't be immediately forwarded) even though
they also match 'example.com' - the match is given to the entry with
the longest matching domain. DNS requests not matching any of the
entries would be resolved by the libvirt network's own DNS server.

9065cfaa88 network: allow disabling dnsmasq's DNS server
If you define a libvirt virtual network with one or more IP addresses,
it starts up an instance of dnsmasq. It's always been possible to
avoid dnsmasq's dhcp server (simply don't include a <dhcp> element),
but until now it wasn't possible to avoid having the DNS server
listening; even if the network has no <dns> element, it is started
using default settings.

This patch adds a new attribute to <dns>: enable='yes|no'. For
backward compatibility, it defaults to 'yes', but if you don't want a
DNS server created for the network, you can simply add:

   <dns enable='no'/>

to the network configuration, and next time the network is started
there will be no dns server created (if there is dhcp configuration,
dnsmasq will be started with "port=0" which disables the DNS server;
if there is no dhcp configuration, dnsmasq won't be started at all).

On UNIX like systems there are no constraints on what characters
can be in file/dir names (except for NULL, obviously). Moreover,
some values that we think of as paths (e.g. disk source) are not
necessarily paths at all. For instance, some hypervisors take
that as an arbitrary identifier and corresponding file is then
looked up by hypervisor in its table. Instead of trying to fix
our regular expressions (and forgetting to include yet another
character there), lets drop the validation completely.

This is similar to the work done for emulator quota and period by

Being able to view/set the IOThread specific values is related to more
recent changes adding global period (commmit id '4d92d58f') and global
quota (commit id '55ecdae') definitions and qemu support (commit id
'4e17ff79' and 'fbcbd1b2'). With a global setting though, if somehow
the IOThread value in the cgroup hierarchy was set "outside of libvirt"
to a value that is incompatible with the global value.

Allowing control over IOThread specific values provides the capability
to alter the IOThread values as necessary.

a48c714115 storage: remove "luks" storage volume type
The current LUKS support has a "luks" volume type which has
a "luks" encryption format.

This partially makes sense if you consider the QEMU shorthand
syntax only requires you to specify a format=luks, and it'll
automagically uses "raw" as the next level driver. QEMU will
however let you override the "raw" with any other driver it
supports (vmdk, qcow, rbd, iscsi, etc, etc)

IOW the intention though is that the "luks" encryption format
is applied to all disk formats (whether raw, qcow2, rbd, gluster
or whatever). As such it doesn't make much sense for libvirt
to say the volume type is "luks" - we should be saying that it
is a "raw" file, but with "luks" encryption applied.

IOW, when creating a storage volume we should use this XML

  <volume>
    <name>demo.raw</name>
    <capacity>5368709120</capacity>
    <target>
      <format type='raw'/>
      <encryption format='luks'>
        <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
      </encryption>
    </target>
  </volume>

and when configuring a guest disk we should use

  <disk type='file' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source file='/home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.raw'/>
    <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
    <encryption format='luks'>
      <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
    </encryption>
  </disk>

This commit thus removes the "luks" storage volume type added
in

  commit 318ebb36f1
  Author: John Ferlan <jferlan@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Jun 21 12:59:54 2016 -0400

    util: Add 'luks' to the FileTypeInfo

The storage file probing code is modified so that it can probe
the actual encryption formats explicitly, rather than merely
probing existance of encryption and letting the storage driver
guess the format.

The rest of the code is then adapted to deal with
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW w/ VIR_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_FORMAT_LUKS
instead of just VIR_STORAGE_FILE_LUKS.

The commit mentioned above was included in libvirt v2.0.0.
So when querying volume XML this will be a change in behaviour
vs the 2.0.0 release - it'll report 'raw' instead of 'luks'
for the volume format, but still report 'luks' for encryption
format.  I think this change is OK because the storage driver
did not include any support for creating volumes, nor starting
guets with luks volumes in v2.0.0 - that only since then.
Clearly if we change this we must do it before v2.1.0 though.

The %groups hash contains all the driver types (e.g.
virHypervisorDriver or virSecretDriver).

When searching for all the APIs that are implemented by a driver
of that specific driver type, we keep iterating over the %groups
hash on every line we look at, then matching against the driver type.

This is inefficient because it prevents perl from caching the regex
and it executes the regex once for every driver type, even though
one regex matching excludes all the others, since all the driver types
are different.

Construct the regex containing all the driver types upfront to save
about 6.4s (~98%) of the script execution time.

98fa8f3ef6 conf: support host-side IP/route information in <interface>
This is place as a sub-element of <source>, where other aspects of the
host-side connection to the network device are located (network or
bridge name, udp listen port, etc). It's a bit odd that the interface
we're configuring with this info is itself named in <target dev='x'/>,
but that ship sailed long ago:

    <interface type='ethernet'>
      <mac address='00:16:3e:0f:ef:8a'/>
      <source>
        <ip address='192.168.122.12' family='ipv4'
            prefix='24' peer='192.168.122.1'/>
        <ip address='192.168.122.13' family='ipv4' prefix='24'/>
        <route family='ipv4' address='0.0.0.0'
               gateway='192.168.122.1'/>
        <route family='ipv4' address='192.168.124.0' prefix='24'
               gateway='192.168.124.1'/>
      </source>
    </interface>

In practice, this will likely only be useful for type='ethernet', so
its presence in any other type of interface is currently forbidden in
the generic device Validate function (but it's been put into the
general population of virDomainNetDef rather than the
ethernet-specific union member so that 1) we can more easily add the
capability to other types if needed, and 2) we can retain the info
when set to an invalid interface type all the way through to
validation and report a proper error, rather than just ignoring it
(which is currently what happens for many other type-specific
settings).

(NB: The already-existing configuration of IP info for the guest-side
of interfaces is in subelements directly under <interface>, and the
name of the guest-side interface (when configurable) is in <guest
dev='x'/>).
