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>
...
</os>
=> Historic default, no change
* <os>
<loader stateless='yes'>/path/to/seabios</loader>

Because qemuMigrationParamsReset used to call qemuMigrationParamsApply
for resetting migration capabilities and parameters, it did not work
well since commit v5.1.0-83-ga1dec315c9 which only allowed capabilities
to be set from an async job. However, when reconnecting to running
domains after daemon restart we do not have an async job. Thus the
capabilities were not properly reset in case the daemon was restarted
during an ongoing migration. We need to avoid calling
qemuMigrationParamsApply to make sure both parameters and capabilities
can be reset by a normal job.

We keep original values of migration parameters so that we can restore
them at the end of migration to make sure later migration does not use
some random values. However, this does not really work when libvirt
daemon is restarted on the source host because we failed to explicitly
save the status XML after getting the migration parameters from QEMU.
Actually it might work if the status XML is written later for some other
reason such as domain state change, but that's not how it should work.

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.

It's no longer possible for libvirt to connect over the ssh transport
from RHEL 9 to RHEL 5. This is because SHA1 signatures have been
effectively banned in RHEL 9 at the openssl level. They are required
to check the RHEL 5 host key. Note this is a separate issue from
openssh requiring additional configuration in order to connect to
older servers.
Connecting from a RHEL 9 client to RHEL 5 server:
$ cat ~/.ssh/config
Host 192.168.0.91
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
MACs +hmac-sha1
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
$ virsh -c 'qemu+ssh://root@192.168.0.91/system' list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Cannot recv data: ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 192.168.0.91 port 22: error in libcrypto: Connection reset by peer
"error in libcrypto: Connection reset by peer" is the characteristic
error of openssl having been modified to disable SHA1 by default.
(You will not see this on non-RHEL-derived distros.)
You could enable the legacy crypto policy which downgrades security on
the entire host, but a more fine-grained way to do this is to create
an alternate openssl configuration file that enables the "forbidden"
signatures. However this requires passing the OPENSSL_CONF
environment variable through to ssh to specify the alternate
configuration. Libvirt filters out this environment variable, but
this commit allows it through. With this commit:
$ cat /var/tmp/openssl.cnf
.include /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
[openssl_init]
alg_section = evp_properties
[evp_properties]
rh-allow-sha1-signatures = yes
$ OPENSSL_CONF=/var/tmp/openssl.cnf ./run virsh -c 'qemu+ssh://root@192.168.0.91/system' list
root@192.168.0.91's password:
Id Name State
--------------------
Essentially my argument here is that OPENSSL_CONF is sufficiently
similar in nature to KRB5CCNAME, SSH* and XAUTHORITY that we should
permit it to be passed through.

'cmdQemuMonitorCommandQMPWrap' is checking whether the user provided
string is not valid JSON to avoid wrapping it. In cases where it's not
JSON we ignore the error and add the wrapper.
If the caller then reports a different non-libvirt error the error from
the JSON parsing would be printed as well. Reset errors we ignore:
# virsh qemu-monitor-command cd --pass-fds a asdf
error: Unable to parse FD number 'a'
error: internal error: cannot parse json asdf: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
asdf
(right here) ------^
In the above case 'asdf' is not valid JSON, but the code did wrap it
into '{"execute":"asdf"}', the only problem is the argument for

Historically, the dumpxml command reject any unknown arguments,
for instance:
virsh dumpxml fedora xxx
However, after v8.5.0-rc1~31 the second argument ('xxx') is
treated as an XPath, but it's not that clearly visible.
Therefore, require the --xpath switch, like this:
virsh dumpxml fedora --xpath xxx
Yes, this breaks already released virsh, but I think we can argue
that the pool of users of this particular function is very small.
We also document the argument being mandatory:
dumpxml [--inactive] [--security-info] [--update-cpu] [--migratable]
[--xpath EXPRESSION] [--wrap] domain
The sooner we do this change, the better.
The same applies for other *dumpxml functions (net-dumpxml,
pool-dumpxml, vol-dumpxl to name a few).

When hotplugging a chardev, Libvirt opens corresponding
file/binds to a socket/does whatever necessary to obtain an FD
that is later passed to QEMU. However, due to wrong placement of
the function that does all of this
(qemuProcessPrepareHostBackendChardevHotplug()) it may happen
that a file is set seclabel on, only to be unlink()-ed and
created again (the former is done by
qemuSecuritySetChardevLabel(), the latter by aforementioned
function). The unlink()-ing is done for UNIX sockets with
mode='bind' and happens inside qemuOpenChrChardevUNIXSocket().
However, these steps can be swapped simply.

libvirt currently will block migration for any vfio-assigned device

failover device (ie. if the hostdev object has a teaming->type ==
VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TEAMING_TYPE_TRANSIENT).
In the future there will be other vfio devices that can be migrated,
so we don't want to rely on this hardcoded block. QEMU 6.0+ will
anyway inform us of any devices that will block migration (as a part
of qemuDomainGetMigrationBlockers()), so we only need to do the
hardcoded check in the case of old QEMU that can't provide that
information.
