As qemu becomes more modularized, it is important for libvirt to advertise
availability of the modularized functionality through capabilities. This
change adds USB redirect devices to domain capabilities, allowing clients
such as virt-install to avoid using redirdev devices when not supported
by the target qemu.

Even though several CPU models from various vendors are reported as

the host vendor. Currently the only place where users can check the
vendor of each CPU model is our CPU map, which is considered internal

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.

After some debugging and discussion with systemd team it turns out we
are misusing the ordering in libvirt-guests.service. That happened
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
without socket activation. Unfortunately this is impossible to express
in the unit file because of how transactions are handled in systemd when
dependencies are resolved and multiple actions (jobs) are queued. For
explanation from Michal Sekletar see comment #7 in the BZ this patch is
fixing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1964855#c7
In order to support all the scenarios this patch also amends the
manpages so that users that are changing the default can also read how
to correct the dependency ordering in libvirt-guests unit file.
Ideally we would also keep the existing configuration during upgrade,
but due to our huge support matrix this seems hardly feasible as it
could introduce even more problems.

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.

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.

when formatting "yes"/"no" or "on"/"off" values based on a

This patch introduces the logic to format and parse remote NVRAM.
Update NVRAM element schema, and docs for supporting network backed
NVRAM. NVRAM backed over network would give the flexibility to start
the VM on any host without having to worry about where to get the latest
nvram image.
<nvram type='network'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-nopool/0'>
<host name='example.com' port='6000'/>
</source>
</nvram>
or
<nvram type='file'>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/nvram/guest_VARS.fd'/>
</nvram>
In the qemu driver we will support the new definition only with qemu's
supporting -blockdev.

As of v7.0.0-877-g70ac26b9e5 QEMU exposes its default event loop
for devices with no IOThread assigned as an QMP object. In the
very next commit (v7.0.0-878-g71ad4713cc) it was extended for
thread-pool-min and thread-pool-max attributes. Expose them under
new <defaultiothread/> element.

Since virsh implements a wrapper over virDomainSetIOThreadParams()
(command iothreadset) let's wire up new typed parameters there too.

At least in case of QEMU an IOThread is actually a pool of
threads (see iothread_set_aio_context_params() in QEMU's code
base). As such, it can have minimal and maximal number of worker
threads. Allow setting them in domain XML.

Certain documentation bits tried to put a reference of a value into
quotes, but that's not needed for both the pure view of the rST source
and the rendered output.

In many cases we move around or rename internal anchors which may break
links leading to the content.
docutils handle the case of links inside a document, but we are lacking
the same form of checking between documents.
Introduce a script which cross-checks all the anchors and links in HTML
output files and prints problems and use it as a test case for the
'docs' directory.
