This patch adds support for an external swtpm TPM emulator. The XML for this type of TPM looks as follows: <tpm model='tpm-tis'> <backend type='emulator'/> </tpm> The XML will currently only start a TPM 1.2. Upon first start, libvirt will run `swtpm_setup`, which will simulate the manufacturing of a TPM and create certificates for it and write them into NVRAM locations of the emulated TPM. After that libvirt starts the swtpm TPM emulator using the `swtpm` executable. Once the VM terminates, libvirt uses the swtpm_ioctl executable to gracefully shut down the `swtpm` in case it is still running (QEMU did not send shutdown) or clean up the socket file. The above mentioned executables must be found in the PATH. The executables can either be run as root or started as root and switch to the tss user. The requirement for the tss user comes through 'tcsd', which is used for the simulation of the manufacturing. Which user is used can be configured through qemu.conf. By default 'tss' is used. The swtpm writes out state into files. The state is kept in /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm: [root@localhost libvirt]# ls -lZ | grep swtpm drwx--x--x. 7 root root unconfined_u:object_r:virt_var_lib_t:s0 4096 Apr 5 16:22 swtpm The directory /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm maintains per-TPM state directories. (Using the uuid of the VM for that since the name can change per VM renaming but we need a stable directory name.)

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING
for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure
script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:

Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
- libvir-list@redhat.com (for development only)
