In our meson scripts, we use configure_file(copy:true) to copy
files from srcdir into builddir. However, as of meson-0.64.0,
this is deprecated [1] in favor of using:
fs = import('fs')
fs.copyfile(in, out)
Except, the submodule's new method wasn't introduced until
0.64.0. And since we can't bump the minimal meson version we
require, we have to work with both: new and old versions.
Now, the fun part: fs.copyfile() is not a drop in replacement as
it returns different type (a custom_target object). This is
incompatible with places where we store the configure_file()
retval in a variable to process it further.
While we could just replace 'copy:true' with a dummy
'configuration:...' (say 'configuration: configmake_conf') we
can't do that for binary files (like src/fonts/ or src/images/).
Therefore, places where we are not interested in the retval can
be switched to fs.copyfile() and places where we are interested
in the retval will just use a dummy 'configuration:'.
Except, src/network/meson.build. In here we not just copy the
file but also specify alternative install dir and that's not
something that fs.copyfile() can handle. Yet, using 'copy: true'
is viewed wrong [2].

Preserving the order of format strings (%s, ...) when translating
messages may be very hard or even impossible depending on the target
language. On the other hand, reordering them requires understanding the
C-format strings which is not something we should expect from
translators. And even if someone reorders format strings in the right
way (by addressing arguments directly using N$), someone else may use a
translation tool that requires format strings in msgid and msgstr to
match exactly and forces these correct formats to be reverted.
As a result of this, we had several reported crashes in some locales
because integers were formatted as strings. So to make such crashes less
likely to happen and to make translating our messages easier, we now
require all messages that are marked for translation to use format
strings that always refer to the same argument no matter where they
appear in a message (e.g., %1$s, %5$llu).

The 'newapi.xsl' stylesheet was referencing non-existing paths to the
XML files holding ACL permission flags for individual APIs. Additionally
the 'document()' XSL function doesn't even allow concatenation of the
path as it was done via '{$builddir}/src..', but requires either direct
argument or use of the 'concat()' function.
This meant that the 'acls' variable was always empty and thus none of
our API documentation was actually generated with the 'acl' section.
Fix it by passing the path to the XML via an argument to the stylesheet
as the files differ based on which document is being generated.

This implements XML config to represent a subset of the features
supported by 'passt' (https://passt.top), which is an alternative
backend for emulated network devices that requires no elevated
privileges (similar to slirp, but "better").
Along with setting the backend to use passt (via <backend
type='passt'/> when the interface type='user'), we also support
passt's --log-file and --interface options (via the <backend>
subelement logFile and upstream attributes) and its --tcp-ports and
--udp-ports options (which selectively forward incoming connections to
the host on to the guest) via the new <portForward> subelement of
<interface>. Here is an example of the config for a network interface
that uses passt to connect:
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='52:54:00:a8:33:fc'/>
<ip address='192.168.221.122' family='ipv4'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<backend type='passt' logFile='/tmp/xyzzy.log' upstream='eth0'/>
<portForward address='10.0.0.1' proto='tcp' dev='eth0'>
<range start='2022' to='22'/>
<range start='5000' end='5099' to='1000'/>
<range start='5010' end='5029' exclude='yes'/>
</portForward>
<portForward proto='udp'>
<range start='10101'/>
</portForward>
</interface>
In this case:
* the guest will be offered address 192.168.221.122 for its interface
via DHCP
* the passt process will write all log messages to /tmp/xyzzy.log
* routes to the outside for the guest will be derived from the
addresses and routes associated with the host interface "eth0".
* incoming tcp port 2022 to the host will be forwarded to port 22
on the guest.
* incoming tcp ports 5000-5099 (with the exception of ports 5010-5029)
to the host will be forwarded to port 1000-1099 on the guest.
* incoming udp packets on port 10101 will be forwarded (unchanged) to

Now that we have qemuMonitorGetCPUModelExpansion() aware of

It may look like modifying the first call to

We really need to ask QEMU for full expansion and the first call
does not guarantee that.
For the test data, I've just copied whatever
'query-cpu-model-expansion' returned earlier, therefore there are
no hv-* props. But that's okay - the full expansion is not stored

The original patches adding the functionality neglected to add any form

The stats are directly converted from qemu's 'query-stats(-schema)' QMP
command without any further interpretation. The 'query-stats-schema' has
the following disclaimer:
Note: runtime-collected statistics and their names fall outside QEMU's usual
deprecation policies. QEMU will try to keep the set of available data
stable, together with their names, but will not guarantee stability
at all costs; the same is true of providers that source statistics
externally, e.g. from Linux. For example, if the same value is being
tracked with different names on different architectures or by different
providers, one of them might be renamed. A statistic might go away if
an algorithm is changed or some code is removed; changing a default
might cause previously useful statistics to always report 0. Such
changes, however, are expected to be rare.
Since libvirt is not doing any form of conversion of the stats we can't
meaningfully document any of the returned fields. At the same time we
can't even meaningfully provide any form of API stability for the field
names.
Modify the documentation for the 'VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VM' group both in the
API docs and in the virsh man page to reflect that and disclaim any form
of stability guarantees we provide normally.

Due to the setup of the modular daemon service files the reverting to non-socket
activated daemons could have never worked. The reason is that masking the
socket files prevents starting the daemons since they require (as in Requires=
rather than Wants= in the service file) the sockets. On top of that it creates
issues with some libvirt-guests setups and needlessly increases our support
matrix.
Nothing prevents users to modify their setup in a way that will still work
without socket activation, but supporting such setup only creates burden on our
part.
This technically reverts most of commit 59d30adacd except the change made to
the libvirtd manpage since the monolithic daemon still supports traditional mode
of starting even on systemd.

Libvirt provides QMP passthrough APIs for the QEMU driver and these are
exposed in virsh. It is not especially pleasant, however, using the raw
QMP JSON syntax. QEMU has a tool 'qmp-shell' which can speak QMP and
exposes a human friendly interactive shell. It is not possible to use
this with libvirt managed guest, however, since only one client can
attach to the QMP socket at any point in time. While it would be
possible to configure a second QMP socket for a VM, it may not be
an known requirement at the time the guest is provisioned.
The virt-qmp-proxy tool aims to solve this problem. It opens a UNIX
socket and listens for incoming client connections, speaking QMP on
the connected socket. It will forward any QMP commands received onto
the running libvirt QEMU guest, and forward any replies back to the
QMP client. It will also forward back events.
$ virsh start demo
$ virt-qmp-proxy demo demo.qmp &
$ qmp-shell demo.qmp
Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
Connected to QEMU 6.2.0
(QEMU) query-kvm
{
"return": {
"enabled": true,
"present": true
}
}
Note this tool of course has the same risks as the raw libvirt
QMP passthrough. It is safe to run query commands to fetch information
but commands which change the QEMU state risk disrupting libvirt's
management of QEMU, potentially resulting in data loss/corruption in
the worst case. Any use of this tool will cause the guest to be marked
as tainted as an warning that it could be in an unexpected state.
Since this tool introduces a python dependency it is not desirable
to include it in any of the existing RPMs in libvirt. This tool is
also QEMU specific, so isn't appropriate to bundle with the generic
tools. Thus a new RPM is introduced 'libvirt-clients-qemu', to
contain additional QEMU specific tools, with extra external deps.

because we want to support both monolithic and modular daemon setups and
on top of that we also want to support socket activation and services

in the unit file because of how transactions are handled in systemd when
dependencies are resolved and multiple actions (jobs) are queued. For

When reconnecting to a running QEMU process, we construct the
per-domain path in all hugetlbfs mounts. This is a relict from
the past (v3.4.0-100-g5b24d25062) where we switched to a
per-domain path and we want to create those paths when libvirtd
restarts on upgrade.
And with namespaces enabled there is one corner case where the
path is not created. In fact an error is reported and the
reconnect fails. Ideally, all mount events are propagated into
the QEMU's namespace. And they probably are, except when the
target path does not exist inside the namespace. Now, it's pretty
common for users to mount hugetlbfs under /dev (e.g.
/dev/hugepages), but if domain is started without hugepages (or
more specifically - private hugetlbfs path wasn't created on
domain startup), then the reconnect code tries to create it.
But it fails to do so, well, it fails to set seclabels on the
path because, because the path does not exist in the private
namespace. And it doesn't exist because we specifically create
only a subset of all possible /dev nodes. Therefore, the mount
event, whilst propagated, is not successful and hence the
filesystem is not mounted. We have to do it ourselves.
If hugetlbfs is mount anywhere else there's no problem and this
is effectively a dead code.

In most cases, disabling the secure-boot or the enrolled-keys
firmware feature will achieve the same result: allowing an
unsigned operating system to run.
Right now we're only documenting the latter configuration. Add
the former as well, and explain the difference between the two.

It should be enough to enable or disable the enrolled-keys feature
to control whether Secure Boot is enforced, but there's a slight
complication: many distro packages for edk2 include, in addition
to general purpose firmware images, builds that are targeting the
Confidential Computing use case.
For those, the firmware descriptor will not advertise the
enrolled-keys feature, which will technically make them suitable
for satisfying a configuration such as
<os firmware='efi'>
<firmware>
<feature state='off' name='enrolled-keys'/>
</firmware>
</os>
In practice, users will expect the general purpose build to be
used in this case. Explicitly asking for the secure-boot feature
to be enabled achieves that result at the cost of some slight
additional verbosity.

This patch introduces the
<maxphysaddr mode='passthrough'/>
<maxphysaddr mode='emulate' bits='42'/>
sub element of /domain/cpu, which allows specifying the guest virtual CPU
address size. This can be useful if the guest needs to have a large amount
of memory.
If mode='passthrough', the virtual CPU will have the same number of address
bits as the host. If mode='emulate', the mandatory bits attribute specifies
the number of address bits.

Normally when an UEFI firmware is marked as read-only, an associated
NVRAM file will be created. Some builds of UEFI firmware, however, wish
to remain stateless and so will be read-only, but never have any NVRAM
file. To represent this concept a 'stateless' tristate bool attribute
is introduced on the <loader/> element.
There are rather a large number of permutations to consider.
With default firmware selection
* <os/>
=> Historic default, no change
* <os>
<loader stateless='yes'/>
</os>
=> Explicit version of historic default, no change
* <os>
<loader stateless='no'/>
</os>
=> Invalid, bios is always stateless
With manual legacy BIOS selection
* <os>
<loader>/path/to/seabios</loader>
...

While we all understand that excessive use of ternary operator
may worsen code readability (e.g. nested, multi-line expression),
there are few cases where using it actually improves code
readability. For instance, when a function takes a long list of
arguments out of which one depends on a boolean expression, or
when formatting "yes"/"no" or "on"/"off" values based on a
boolean variable (although one can argue that the latter is a
subset of the former). Just consider alternatives to:
virBufferAsprintf(buf, "<elem>%s</elem>\n", boolVar ? "yes" : "no");
In fact, this pattern occurs plenty in our code. Exempt it from
our "no ternary operators" rule.

While you can chain the virsh output up to a later 'xmllint' or 'xpath'
command, integrating it into virsh avoids needs for installing extra
binaries which we've often found to be missing on production installs
of libvirt. It also gives better response if the initial virsh command
hits an error, as you don't get an aborted pipeline.
$ virsh pool-dumpxml --xpath //permissions default
<permissions>
<mode>0711</mode>
<owner>1000</owner>
<group>1000</group>
<label>unconfined_u:object_r:svirt_home_t:s0</label>
</permissions>
If multiple nodes match, they are emitted individually:
$ virsh dumpxml --xpath '//devices/*/address[@type="pci"]' --wrap demo
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x05" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x03" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>

<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x07" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
but if intending to post-process the output further, the results
can be wrapped in a parent node
$ virsh dumpxml --xpath '//devices/*/address[@type="pci"]' --wrap demo
