a4b924b579 qemu: Keep numad hint after daemon restart
The numad hint stored in priv->autoNodeset is information that gets lost
during daemon restart.  And because we would like to use that
information in the future, we also need to save it in the status XML.
For the sake of tests, we need to initialize nnumaCell_max to some
value, so that the restoration doesn't fail in our test suite.  There is
no need to fill in the actual numa cell data since the recalculating
function virCapabilitiesGetCpusForNodemask() will not fail, it will just
skip filling the data in the bitmap which we don't use in tests anyway.

According to our XML definition, zero is as valid as any other value.
Mainly because it should be kernel-agnostic.

c733e97323 docs: Fix XML schema handling of LUN address in hostdev tag
Defining a domain with a SCSI disk attached via a hostdev
tag and a source address unit value longer than two digits
causes an error when editing the domain with virsh edit,
even if no changes are made to the domain definition.
The error suggests invalid XML, somewhere:

  # virsh edit lmb_guest
  error: XML document failed to validate against schema:
  Unable to validate doc against /usr/local/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng
  Extra element devices in interleave
  Element domain failed to validate content

The virt-xml-validate tool fails with a similar error:

  # virt-xml-validate lmb_guest.xml
  Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
  lmb_guest.xml:17: element devices: Relax-NG validity error :
  Element domain failed to validate content
  lmb_guest.xml fails to validate

The hostdev tag requires a source address to be specified,
which includes bus, target, and unit address attributes.
According to the SCSI Architecture Model spec (section
4.9 of SAM-2), a LUN address is 64 bits and thus could be
up to 20 decimal digits long.  Unfortunately, the XML
schema limits this string to just two digits.  Similarly,
the target field can be up to 32 bits in length, which
would be 10 decimal digits.

  # lsscsi -xx
  [0:0:19:0x4022401100000000]  disk    IBM      2107900          3.44 /dev/sda
  # lsscsi
  [0:0:19:1074872354]disk    IBM      2107900          3.44  /dev/sda
  # cat lmb_guest.xml
  <domain type='kvm'>
    <name>lmb_guest</name>
    <memory unit='MiB'>1024</memory>
  ...trimmed...
    <devices>
      <controller type='scsi' model='virtio-scsi' index='0'/>
      <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
        <source>
          <adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
          <address bus='0' target='19' unit='1074872354'/>
        </source>
      </hostdev>
  ...trimmed...

Since the reference unit and target fields are used in
several places in the XML schema, create a separate one
specific for SCSI Logical Units that will permit the
greater length.  This permits both the validation utility
and the virsh edit command to succeed when a hostdev
tag is included.

8728a78e90 Always add 'console' matching the 'serial' device
We have been formatting the first serial device also
as a console device, but only if there were no other consoles.

If there is a <serial> device present in the XML, but no serial
<console>, or if there isn't any <console> at all but the domain
definition hasn't gone through a parse->format->parse round-trip,
the <console> device would not be formatted.

Change the code to always add the stub device for the first
serial device.

8910e063db caps: Fix regression defaulting to host arch
My commit 747761a79 (v1.2.15 only) dropped this bit of logic when filling
in a default arch in the XML:

-    /* First try to find one matching host arch */
-    for (i = 0; i < caps->nguests; i++) {
-        if (caps->guests[i]->ostype == ostype) {
-            for (j = 0; j < caps->guests[i]->arch.ndomains; j++) {
-                if (caps->guests[i]->arch.domains[j]->type == domain &&
-                    caps->guests[i]->arch.id == caps->host.arch)
-                    return caps->guests[i]->arch.id;
-            }
-        }
-    }

That attempt to match host.arch is important, otherwise we end up
defaulting to i686 on x86_64 host for KVM, which is not intended.
Duplicate it in the centralized CapsLookup function.

Additionally add some testcases that would have caught this.

8d4614a512 qemu: Use domain iothreadids to IOThread's 'thread_id'
Add 'thread_id' to the virDomainIOThreadIDDef as a means to store the
'thread_id' as returned from the live qemu monitor data.

Remove the iothreadpids list from _qemuDomainObjPrivate and replace with
the new iothreadids 'thread_id' element.

Rather than use the default numbering scheme of 1..number of iothreads
defined for the domain, use the iothreadid's list for the iothread_id

Since iothreadids list keeps track of the iothread_id's, these are
now used in place of the many places where a for loop would "know"
that the ID was "+ 1" from the array element.

The new tests ensure usage of the <iothreadid> values for an exact number
of iothreads and the usage of a smaller number of <iothreadid> values than
iothreads that exist (and usage of the default numbering scheme).

This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve

definition requires that the port profile expresses its interfaceid
as part of the port profile. For that reason, this is part of the

4bca6192f2 conf: Make specifying <memory> optional
Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA
configuration (if present) make it optional to specify <memory>
explicitly.

To make sure that memory is specified add a check that some form of
memory size was specified. One side effect of this change is that it is
no longer possible to specify 0KiB as memory size for the VM, but I
don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded
systems without memory, just registers, but that's far from what libvirt
is usually doing).

Forbidding 0 memory for guests also fixes a few corner cases where 0 was
not interpreted correctly and caused failures. (Arguments for numad when
using automatic placement, size of the balloon). This fixes problems
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161461

Test case changes are added to verify that the schema change and code
behave correctly.

bbd3eb5098 conf: Don't mangle vcpu placement randomly
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170492

In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:

 <vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

gets translated into this one:

 <vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

5222256849 schemas: Allow all generic elements and attributes for all interfaces
There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.

Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.

0ecd685109 Give virDomainDef parser & formatter their own flags
The virDomainDefParse* and virDomainDefFormat* methods both
accept the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags defined in the public API,
along with a set of other VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags
defined in domain_conf.c.

This is seriously confusing & error prone for a number of
reasons:

 - VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE, VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE and
   VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU are only relevant for the
   formatting operation
 - Some of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_* flags only apply
   to parse or to format, but not both.

This patch cleanly separates out the flags. There are two
distint VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_* and VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_*
flags that are used by the corresponding methods. The
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_* flags received via public API calls must
be converted to the VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_* flags where
needed.

The various calls to virDomainDefParse which hardcoded the
use of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE flag change to use the
VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_INACTIVE flag.

   <server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>

- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:

  <host csum='off' gso='off' tso4='off' tso6='off'
        ecn='off' ufo='off'/>
  <guest csum='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/>
</driver>
which control the respective host_ and guest_ properties
of the virtio-net device.

7e8feed4a7 cputune: allow interleaved xml
I noticed this with the recent iothread pinning code, but the
problem existed longer than that. The XML validation required
users to supply <cputune> children in a strict order, even though
there was no conceptual reason why they can't occur in any order.

docs/ changes best viewed with -w

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (cputune): Add interleave.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-cputune-iothreads.xml: Swap
up order, copying canonical form...
* tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-cputune-iothreads.xml:
...here.
* tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c (mymain): Mark the difference.

938fb12fad domain_conf: Add iothreadpin to cputune
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101574

Add an option 'iothreadpin' to the <cpuset> to allow for setting the
CPU affinity for each IOThread.

The iothreadspin will mimic the vcpupin with respect to being able to
assign each iothread to a specific CPU, although iothreads ids start
at 1 while vcpu ids start at 0. This matches the iothread naming scheme.

68bf13dbef conf: Extend <loader/> and introduce <nvram/>
Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.

Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files

The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.
