It seems I missed a few -device flags when doing this last time and I
mixed up qemu and qemu-kvm.
Currently it's assumed that qemu always supports VNC, however it is
definitely possible to compile qemu without VNC support so we should at
the very least check for it and handle that correctly.
With the recent introduction of QMP capabilities probing, libvirt failed
to detect support for QXL graphics in QEMU 1.2 and newer. In addition to
fixing that, this patch also causes libvirt to detect QXL support for
qemu-kvm-0.13.0, which doesn't advertise it in -help output but mentions
it in device list. Since qemu-kvm-0.13.0 supported -spice, it looks like
not having qxl in -help was a bug.
Currently the qemuCapsParseDeviceStr method has a bunch of open
coded string searches/comparisons to detect devices and their
properties. Soon this data will be obtained from QMP queries
instead of -device help output. Maintaining the list of device
and properties in two places is undesirable. Thus the existing
qemuCapsParseDeviceStr() method needs to be refactored to
separate the device types and properties from the actual
search code.
Thus the -device help output is now parsed to construct a
list of device names, and device properties. These are then
checked against a set of datatables to set the capability
flags

The "dump-guest-core' option is new option for the machine type
(-machine pc,dump-guest-core) that controls whether the guest memory
will be marked as dumpable.
While testing this, I've found out that the value for the '-M' options
is not parsed correctly when additional parameters are used. However,
when '-machine' is used for the same options, it gets parsed as
expected. That's why this patch also modifies the parsing and creating
of the command line, so both '-M' and '-machine' are recognized. In
QEMU's help there is only mention of the 'machine parameter now with
no sign of the older '-M'.
The current qemu capabilities are stored in a virBitmapPtr
object, whose type is exposed to callers. We want to store
more data besides just the flags, so we need to move to a
struct type. This object will also need to be reference
counted, since we'll be maintaining a cache of data per
binary. This change introduces a 'qemuCapsPtr' virObject
class. Most of the change is just renaming types and
variables in all the callers

After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit
element as it creates the impression it would be there to
limit (i.e. throttle) I/O instead of specifying immutable
characteristics of a block device.
This is also backed by the fact that the term I/O Limits has
vanished from newer storage admin documentation.

QEMU 1.1.0 has been officially released. With 1.1.0 QEMU went back to
three-digits version even for the initial release and I renamed the data
files to match this fact. They were generated with

Thanks to this new option we are now able to use modern CPU models (such
as Westmere) defined in external configuration file.
The qemu-1.1{,-device} data files for qemuhelptest are filled in with
qemu-1.1-rc2 output for now. I will update those files with real
qemu-1.1 output once it is released.
A "ide-drive" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
Upstream qemu splitted "ide-drive" into "ide-hd" and "ide-cd"
since commit 1f56e32, and ",media=cdrom" is not required for
ide-cd anymore. "ide-drive" is still supported for backwards
compatibility, but no doubt we should go foward.
A "scsi-disk" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
But upstream qemu splitted "scsi-disk" into "scsi-hd" and
"scsi-cd" since commit b443ae, and ",media=cdrom" is not
required for scsi-cd anymore. "scsi-disk" is still supported
for backwards compatibility, but no doubt we should go
foward.
The qemu developers have made it clear that modern qemu will no
longer guarantee human monitor command stability; furthermore,
some features, such as async events, are only supported via qmp.
If we are compiled without support for handling JSON, we cannot
expect to sanely interact with modern qemu.
However, things must continue to build on RHEL 5, where qemu
is stuck at 0.10, and where yajl is not available.
Another benefit of this patch: future additions of new monitor
commands need only focus on qemu_monitor_json.c, instead of
also wasting time with qemu_monitor_text.c.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags): Report
error if yajl is missing but qemu requires qmp.
(qemuCapsParseHelpStr): Propagate error.
(qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo): Update caller.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c (testHelpStrParsing): Likewise.
I'm getting tired of remembering to backport RHEL-specific
patches when building upstream libvirt on RHEL 6.x or CentOS.
All the affected versions of RHEL qemu-kvm have backported
enough patches to a) make JSON useful, and b) modify the
-help text to mention libvirt as the preferred interface;
which means this string in the help output is a reliable
indicator that we can outsmart a strict version check,
even when upstream qemu 0.12 lacked the needed features.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags):
Recognize particular help string present when enough features were
backported to be worth using JSON.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c (mymain): Update tests accordingly.
This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.
When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.
As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.
device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:
1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).
2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
-device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).
Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter
*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.
Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.
Latest patch a1a83c5874 introduces new qemu capability flag
QEMU_CAPS_FSDEV_READONLY. However, it was missing in qemuhelptest
making test for qemu-1.0 fail.
Currently non-x86 guests must have <acpi/> defined in <features> to
prevent libvirt from running qemu with -no-acpi. Although it works, it
is a hack.
Instead add a capability flag which indicates whether qemu understands
the -no-acpi option. Use it to control whether libvirt emits -no-acpi.
Current versions of qemu always display -no-acpi in their help output,
so this patch has no effect. However the development version of qemu
has been modified such that -no-acpi is only displayed when it is
actually supported.

Rather than making all clients of monitor commands that are JSON-only

Now that RHEL 6.2 Beta is out, it would be nice to test multifunction
devices on that platform. This changes things so that the multifunction
cap bit can be set in two different ways: by version comparison (needed
for qemu 0.13 which lacked a -device query), and by -device query
(provided by qemu.git and backported to the RHEL beta build of
qemu-kvm which still claims to be a modified 0.12, and therefore needed
for RHEL).

second method of setting multifunction cap bit.

This patch was made in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
QEMU 0.13 introduced cache=unsafe for -drive, this patch exposes
it in the libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_UNSAFE),
as even if $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't know if unsafe
is supported.
* Improved the reliability of qemu cache type detection.
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.
This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".
For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
NB: the enum that uses the string vnet-host (now changed to vhost-net)
is used in XML, but fortunately that hasn't been in an official
release yet, so it can still be fixed.

For qemu names the primary vga as "qxl-vga":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE,...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device, (use the default
set by global):
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
For qemu names all qxl devices as "qxl":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE ...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
"-global" is the only way to define vram_size for the primary qxl
device, regardless of how qemu names it, (It's not good a good
way, as original idea of "-global" is to set a global default for
a driver property, but to specify vram for first qxl device, we
have to use it).
For other qxl devices, as they are represented by "-device", could
specify it directly and seperately for each, and it overrides the
default set by "-global" if specified.
v1 - v2:
* modify "virDomainVideoDefaultRAM" so that it returns 16M as the
default vram_size for qxl device.
* vram_size * 1024 (qemu accepts bytes for vram_size).
* apply default vram_size for qxl device for which vram_size is
not specified.
* modify "graphics-spice" tests (more sensiable vram_size)
* Add an argument of virDomainDefPtr type for qemuBuildVideoDevStr,
to use virDomainVideoDefaultRAM in qemuBuildVideoDevStr).
v2 - v3:
* Modify default video memory size for qxl device from 16M to 24M
* Update codes to be consistent with changes on qemu_capabilities.*

- we are getting very close to 64 flags which is the maximum we can use

This is in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662
Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
qemu 0.13.0 (at least as built for Fedora 14, and also backported to
RHEL 6.0 qemu) supported an older syntax for a spicevmc channel; it's
not as flexible (it has an implicit name and hides the chardev

'vmx', no longer require the '-enable-nesting' flag. They
instead just look at the cpu features. Several of the models
already include svm support, but QEMU was just masking out
the svm bit silently. So this will enable SVM on such
models
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: flag for -enable-nesting
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Use -enable-nesting if VMX or SVM are in
the CPUID
* src/cpu/cpu.h, src/cpu/cpu.c: API to check for a named feature
* src/cpu/cpu_x86.c: x86 impl of feature check
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add cpuHasFeature
* src/qemuhelptest.c: Add nesting flag where required
Add a new element to the <os> block:
<bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>
Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.
I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.
(gdb) p/x QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_VNET_HOST
$7 = 0xffffffff80000000
Oops - that meant we were incorrectly setting QEMU_CMD_FLAG_RTC_TD_HACK
for qemu-kvm-0.12.3 (and probably botching a few other settings as well).
Fixes Red Hat BZ#592070
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h (QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_VNET_HOST): Avoid sign
extension.
* tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-kvm-0.12.3: New file.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c (mymain): Add another case.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: define 4 new flags
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: check the help text of qemu for presence of
features indicated by each flag.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: add appropriate flags into the masks for each test
This allows QEMU guests to be started with an arbitrary clock
offset
The test case can't actually be enabled, since QEMU argv expects
an absolute timestring, and this will obviously change every
time the test runs :-( Hopefully QEMU will allow a relative
time offset in the future.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Use the -rtc arg
if available to support variable clock offset mode
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Add QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_RTC for qemu 0.12.1
* qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-variable.args,
qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-clock-variable.xml,
qemuxml2argvtest.c: Test case, except we can't actually enable
it yet.
The QEMU flags are commonly stored as a signed or unsigned int,
allowing only 31 flags. This limit is rather close, so to aid
future patches, change it to a 64-bit int
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c,
tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c, tests/qemuhelptest.c, tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c:
Use 'unsigned long long' for QEMU flags
QEMU's command line equivalent for the following domain XML fragment
<vcpus>2</vcpus>
<cpu ...>
...
<topology sockets='1' cores='2', threads='1'/>
</cpu>
is
-smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1
This syntax was introduced in QEMU-0.12.
Version 2 changes:
- -smp argument build split into a separate function
- always add ",sockets=S,cores=C,threads=T" to -smp if qemu supports it
- use qemuParseCommandLineKeywords for command line parsing
Version 3 changes:
- ADD_ARG_LIT => ADD_ARG and line reordering in qemudBuildCommandLine
- rebased

Not all QEMU builds default to SDL graphics for their display.
Newer QEMU now has an explicit -sdl flag, which we can use to
explicitly request SDL intead of relying on the default. This
protects libvirt against unexpected changes in graphics default
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Probe for -sdl
flag and use it if it is found
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Add SDL flag to tests
Probe for the new -device flag and if available set the -nodefaults
flag, instead of using -net none, -serial none or -parallel none.
Other device types will be converted to use -device in later patches.
The -nodefaults flag will help avoid unwelcome surprises from future
QEMU releases
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Probe for -device. Add -nodefaults flag.
Remove -net none, -serial none or -parallel none
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Define QEMU_CMD_FLAG_DEVICE
* tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-0.12.1: New data file for 0.12.1 QEMU
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Test feature extraction from 0.12.1 QEMU
The behavior for the qemu balloon device has changed. Formerly, a virtio
balloon device was provided by default. Now, '-balloon virtio' must be
specified on the command line to enable it. This patch causes libvirt to
add '-balloon virtio' to the command line whenever the -balloon option is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: check for the new flag and
add "-baloon vitio" to qemu command when needed
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: add the new flag for detection
Recent qemu releases require command option '-enable-qemu' in order
for the kvm functionality be activated. Libvirt needs to pass this flag
to qemu when starting a domain. Note that without the option,
even if both the kernel and qemu support KVM, KVM will not be activated
and VMs will be very slow.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: parse the extra command
line option from help and add it when running kvm
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: this modified the flags output for qemu-0.10.5
and qemu-kvm-0.11.0-rc2 regression tests
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <serial> element to disks
* src/domain_conf.h, src/domain_conf.c: XML parsing and
formatting for disk serial numbers
* src/qemu_conf.c: Set serial number when launching guests
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-shared.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-shared.xml: Add
serial number to XML test
Add option to domain XML for
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages/>
</memoryBacking>
* configure.in: Add check for mntent.h
* qemud/libvirtd_qemu.aug, qemud/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug, src/qemu.conf
Add 'hugetlbfs_mount' config parameter
* src/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu_conf.h: Check for -mem-path flag in QEMU,
and pass it when hugepages are requested.
Load hugetlbfs_mount config parameter, search for mount if not given.
* src/qemu_driver.c: Free hugetlbfs_mount/path parameter in driver shutdown.
Create directory for QEMU hugepage usage, chowning if required.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document memoryBacking/hugepages elements
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add memoryBacking/hugepages elements to schema
* src/util.c, src/util.h, src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virFileFindMountPoint
helper API
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Add -mem-path constants
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c, tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c: Add tests for hugepage
handling
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hugepages.xml,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hugepages.args: Data files for
hugepage tests
PCI device assignment is only supported in KVM's fork of qemu, so we
should really detect its availability and give a nice error if its
not supported.
* src/qemu_conf.[ch]: introduce QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCIDEVICE indicating
that the -pcidevice command line option is available
* tests/*: update the tests
Add QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_NET_NAME to indicate that '-net ...,name=foo' is
supported and QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_HOST_NET_ADD to indicate that the
'host_net_add' monitor command is available.
Set both these flags if the qemu version is greater than 0.10.0.
Checking via the '-help' output would not work for the monitor command
and even for the command line arg, it would be quite fragile.
* src/qemu_conf.h: add new flags as aliases of QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_0_10
* src/qemu_conf.c: set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_0_10 for versions >= 0.10.0
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_0_10 for the appropriate
qemu versions
* src/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu_conf.h: Use -vga or -std-vga
when starting guests if video card is present
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Change to use constants instead
of hardcoded hex numbers, and add VGA support
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-graphics-sdl-fullscreen.xml,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-graphics-sdl.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-graphics-sdl.xml,
