QEMU has long accepted many different values for boolean properties, but
set accepted has been different depending on which QEMU parser you hit.
The on|off values were supported by all QEMU parsers. The yes|no, y|n,
true|false values were only partially supported:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg01012.html
Thus we should standardize on on|off everywhere since that is most
widely supported in QEMU.

The <teaming> element in <interface> allows pairing two interfaces
together as a simple "failover bond" network device in a guest. One of
the devices is the "transient" interface - it will be preferred for
all network traffic when it is present, but may be removed when
necessary, in particular during migration, when traffic will instead
go through the other interface of the pair - the "persistent"
interface. As it happens, in the QEMU implementation of this teaming
pair (called "virtio failover" in QEMU) the transient interface is
always a host network device assigned to the guest using VFIO (aka
"hostdev"); the persistent interface is always an emulated virtio NIC.
When support was initially added for <teaming>, it was written to
require that the transient/hostdev device be defined using <interface
type='hostdev'>; this was done because the virtio failover
implementation in QEMU and the virtio guest driver demands that the
two interfaces in the pair have matching MAC addresses, and the only
way libvirt can guarantee the MAC address of a hostdev network device
is to use <interface type='hostdev'>, whose main purpose is to
configure the device's MAC address before handing the device to
QEMU. (note that <interface type='hostdev'> in turn requires that the
network device be an SRIOV VF (Virtual Function), as that is the only
type of network device whose MAC address we can set in a way that will
survive the device's driver init in the guest).
It has recently come up that some users are unable to use <teaming>
because they are running in a container environment where libvirt
doesn't have the necessary privileges or resources to set the VF's MAC
address (because setting the VF MAC is done via the same device's PF
(Physical Function), and the PF is not exposed to libvirt's container).
At the same time, these users *are* able to set the VF's MAC address
themselves in advance of staring up libvirt in the container. So they
could theoretically use the <teaming> feature if libvirt just skipped
the "setting the MAC address" part.
Fortunately, that is *exactly* the difference between <interface
type='hostdev'> (which must be a "hostdev VF") and <hostdev> (a "plain
hostdev" - it could be *any* PCI device; libvirt doesn't know what type
of PCI device it is, and doesn't care).
But what is still needed is for libvirt to provide a small bit of
information on the QEMU commandline argument for the hostdev, telling
QEMU that this device will be part of a team ("failover pair"), and
the id of the other device in the pair.
To make both of those goals simultaneously possible, this patch adds
support for the <teaming> element to plain <hostdev> - libvirt doesn't
try to set any MAC addresses, and QEMU gets the extra commandline
argument it needs)
(actually, this patch adds only the parsing/formatting of the
<teaming> element in <hostdev>. The next patch will actually wire that
into the qemu driver.)

In commit 88957116c9 I've adapted
libvirt to QEMU's deprecation of -mem-path and -mem-prealloc and
switched to memory-backend-* even for system memory. My claim was
that that's what QEMU does under the hood anyway. And indeed it
was: see QEMU commit 900c0ba373aada4c13d47d95330aa72ec4067ba5 and
look at function create_default_memdev().
However, then commit d96c4d5f193e0e45beec80a6277728b32875bddb was
merged into QEMU. While it was fixing a bug, it also changed the
create_default_memdev() function in which it started turning off
use of canonical path (by setting
"x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" attribute to false). This
wasn't documented until QEMU commit
8db0b20415c129cf5e577a593a4a0372d90b7cc9. The path affects
migration - the same path has to be used on the source and on the
destination. Therefore, if there is old guest started with '-m X'
it has "pc.ram" block which doesn't use canonical path and thus
when migrating to newer QEMU which uses memory-backend-* we have
to turn off the canonical path explicitly. Otherwise,
"/objects/pc.ram" path would be expected by QEMU which doesn't
match the source.
Ideally, we would need to set it only for some machine types
(4.0 and older) because newer machine types already do what we
are doing. However, we treat machine types as opaque strings and
therefore we don't want to parse nor inspect their versions. But
then again, newer machine types already do what we are doing in
this commit, so when old machine types are deprecated and removed
we can remove our hack and forget it ever happened.

As explained in QEMU commit 4c257911dcc7c4189768e9651755c849ce9db4e8
intel-pt features should never be included in the CPU models as it was
not supported by KVM back then and even once it started to be supported,
users have to enable it by passing pt_mode=1 parameter to kvm_intel
module. The Icelake-* CPU models with intel-pt included were added to
QEMU 3.1.0 and removed right in the following 4.0.0 release (and even in
3.1.1 maintenance release).
In libvirt 6.10.0 I introduced 'removed' attribute for features included
in our CPU model definitions which we can use to drop intel-pt from
Icelake-* CPU models. Back then I explained we can safely do so only for
features which could never be enabled, which is not the case of intel-pt.
Theoretically, it could be possible to create an environment in which
QEMU would enable intel-pt without asking for it explicitly: it would
need to use a new enough kernel (not available at the time of QEMU
3.1.0) and pt_mode KVM parameter in combination with QEMU 3.1.0 running
a domain with q35 machine type and all that on a CPU which didn't really
exist at that time.
Migrating such domain to a host with newer SW stack including libvirt
with this patch applied would result in incompatible guest ABI (the
virtual CPU would lose intel-pt). However, QEMU changed its CPU models
unconditionally and thus migration would not work even without this
patch. That said, it is safe to follow QEMU and remove the feature from
Icelake-* CPU models in our cpu_map.

is.
To express this new model at domain XML level, I've chosen the
following:

However, when guest's NVDIMM is backed by real life NVDIMM this
approach is not the best. In this case users should put <pmem/>

Instructing QEMU to do prealloc in this case means that each

device wear.

qemuDomainAlignMemorySizes() has an operation order problem. We are
calculating 'initialmem' without aligning the memory modules first.
Since we're aligning the dimms afterwards this can create inconsistencies
in the end result. x86 has alignment of 1-2MiB and it's not severely
impacted by it, but pSeries works with 256MiB alignment and the difference
is noticeable.
This is the case of the existing 'memory-hotplug-ppc64-nonuma' test.
The test consists of a 2GiB (aligned value) guest with 2 ~520MiB dimms,
both unaligned. 'initialmem' is calculated by taking total_mem and
subtracting the dimms size (via virDomainDefGetMemoryInitial()), which
wil give us 2GiB - 520MiB - 520MiB, ending up with a little more than
an 1GiB of 'initialmem'. Note that this value is now unaligned, and
will be aligned up via VIR_ROUND_UP(), and we'll end up with 'initialmem'
of 1GiB + 256MiB. Given that the dimms are aligned later on, the end
result for QEMU is that the guest will have a 'mem' size of 1310720k,
plus the two 512 MiB dimms, exceeding in 256MiB the desired 2GiB
memory and currentMemory specified in the XML.
Existing guests can't be fixed without breaking ABI, but we have
code already in place to align pSeries NVDIMM modules for new guests.
Let's extend it to align all pSeries mem modules.
A new test, 'memory-hotplug-ppc64-nonuma-abi-update', a copy of the
existing 'memory-hotplug-ppc64-nonuma', was added to demonstrate the
result for new pSeries guests. For the same unaligned XML mentioned
above, after applying this patch:
- starting QEMU mem size without PARSE_ABI_UPDATE:
-m size=1310720k,slots=16,maxmem=4194304k \ (no changes)

A previous patch removed the pSeries NVDIMM align that wasn't
being done properly. This patch reintroduces it in the right
fashion, making it reliant on VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE.
This makes it complying with the intended design defined by
commit c7d7ba85a6.
Since the PARSE_ABI_UPDATE is more restrictive than checking for
!migrate && !snapshot, like is being currently done with
qemuDomainAlignMemorySizes(), this means that we'll align the
pSeries NVDIMMs in two places - in post parse time for new
guests, and in qemuDomainAlignMemorySizes() for all guests
that aren't migrating or in a snapshot.
Another difference is that the logic is now in the QEMU driver
instead of domain_conf.c. This was necessary because all
considerations made about the PARSE_ABI_UPDATE flag were done
under QEMU. Given that no other driver supports ppc64 there is no
impact in this change.
A new test was added to exercise what we're doing. It consists
of a a copy of the existing 'memory-hotplug-nvdimm-ppc64' xml2xml
test, called with the PARSE_ABI_UPDATE flag. As intended, we're
not changing QEMU command line or any XML without the flag,
while the pseries NVDIMM memory is being aligned when the
flag is used.
