Historically QEMU/LXC guests have been placed in a cgroup layout
that is
$LOCATION-OF-LIBVIRTD/libvirt/{qemu,lxc}/$VMNAME
This is bad for a number of reasons
- The cgroup hierarchy gets very deep which seriously
impacts kernel performance due to cgroups scalability
limitations.
- It is hard to setup cgroup policies which apply across
services and virtual machines, since all VMs are underneath
the libvirtd service.
To address this the default cgroup location is changed to
be
/system/$VMNAME.{lxc,qemu}.libvirt
This puts virtual machines at the same level in the hierarchy
as system services, allowing consistent policy to be setup
across all of them.
This also honours the new resource partition location from the
XML configuration, for example
<resource>
<partition>/virtualmachines/production</partitions>
</resource>
will result in the VM being placed at
/virtualmachines/production/$VMNAME.{lxc,qemu}.libvirt
NB, with the exception of the default, /system, path which
is intended to always exist, libvirt will not attempt to
auto-create the partitions in the XML. It is the responsibility
of the admin/app to configure the partitions. Later libvirt
APIs will provide a way todo this.

Instead of calling virCgroupForDomain every time we need
the virCgrouPtr instance, just do it once at Vm startup
and cache a reference to the object in qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr
until shutdown of the VM. Removing the virCgroupPtr from
the QEMU driver state also means we don't have stale mount
info, if someone mounts the cgroups filesystem after libvirtd
has been started

Remove the obsolete 'qemud' naming prefix and underscore
based type name. Introduce virQEMUDriverPtr as the replacement,
in common with LXC driver naming style
When the cpu placement model is "auto", it sets the affinity for
domain process with the advisory nodeset from numad, however,
creating cgroup for the domain process (called emulator thread
in some contexts) later overrides that with pinning it to all
available pCPUs.
How to reproduce:
* Configure the domain with "auto" placement for <vcpu>, e.g.
<vcpu placement='auto'>4</vcpu>
* % virsh start dom
* % cat /proc/$dompid/status
Though the emulator cgroup cause conflicts, but we can't simply
prohibit creating it, as other tunables are still useful, such
as "emulator_period", which is used by API
virDomainSetSchedulerParameter. So this patch doesn't prohibit
creating the emulator cgroup, but inherit the nodeset from numad,
and reset the affinity for domain process.
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.h: Modify definition of qemuSetupCgroupForEmulator
to accept the passed nodenet
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c: Set the affinity with the passed nodeset
According to our recent changes (clarifications), we should be pinning
qemu's emulator processes using the <vcpu> 'cpuset' attribute in case
there is no <emulatorpin> specified. This however doesn't work
entirely as expected and this patch should resolve all the remaining
issues.

Introduce qemuSetupCgroupEmulatorPin() function to add emulator
threads pin info to cpuset cgroup, the same as vcpupin.

vcpu threads pin are implemented using sched_setaffinity(), but
not controlled by cgroup. This patch does the following things:
1) enable cpuset cgroup
2) reflect all the vcpu threads pin info to cgroup

Create a new cgroup and move all emulator threads to the new cgroup.
And then we can do the other things:
1. limit only vcpu usage rather than the whole qemu
2. limit for emulator threads(include vhost-net threads)

Except a bunch of files for security driver, all others are changed
automatically, the copyright for securify files are not complete,
that's why to do it manually:

Like for 'static' placement, when the memory policy mode is
'strict', set the memory policy by writing the advisory nodeset
returned from numad to cgroup file cpuset.mems,
Clang warned about a dead assignment. In the process, I noticed
that we are only using the function for a bool value. I audited
all other callers in qemu_{migration,cgroup,driver,hotplug), and
all were making the call in a bool context.
Also, do bounds checking on the argument.
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c (qemuSetupCgroup): Delete dead
assignment.
(qemuCgroupControllerActive): Change return type to bool.
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.h (qemuCgroupControllerActive): Likewise.
The QEMU driver file is far too large. Move all the cgroup
helper code out into a separate file. No functional change.
* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c, src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.h,
src/Makefile.am: Add cgroup helper file
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Delete cgroup code
