come with a linear framebuffer (sometimes called "VGA compatibility
framebuffer"). This linear framebuffer lives in one of the PCI device's
MMIO BARs, and allows guest code (primarily: firmware drivers, and
non-accelerated OS drivers) to display graphics with direct memory access.
Due to architectural reasons on aarch64/KVM hosts, this kind of
framebuffer doesn't / can't work in
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) -M virt
machines. Cache coherency issues guarantee a corrupted / unusable display.
The problem has been researched by several people, including kvm-arm
maintainers, and it's been decided that the best way (practically the only
way) to have boot time graphics for such guests is to consolidate on
QEMU's "virtio-gpu-pci" device.
but libvirt unconditionally maps @type='virtio' to QEMU's "virtio-vga"
device model. (See the qemuBuildDeviceVideoStr() function and the
"qemuDeviceVideo" enum impl.)
According to the above, this is not right for the "virt" machine type; the
qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) binaries don't even recognize the "virtio-vga"
device model (justifiedly). Whereas "virtio-gpu-pci", which is a pure
virtio device without a compatibility framebuffer, is available, and works
fine.
(The ArmVirtQemu ("AAVMF") platform of edk2 -- that is, the UEFI firmware
for "virt" -- supports "virtio-gpu-pci", as of upstream commit 3ef3209d3028. See
<https://tianocore.acgmultimedia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=66>.)
Override the default mapping of "virtio", from "virtio-vga" to
"virtio-gpu-pci", if qemuDomainMachineIsVirt() evaluates to true.

The algorithm that matches data from query-cpus and

while (1) {

Problem with this approach is in its corner cases. In case of
QEMU, libvirt merely pass what has been reported on the monitor.
However, if the block job hasn't started yet, qemu reports cur ==
end == 0 which tricks mgmt apps into thinking job is complete.
The solution is to mangle cur/end values as described here [1].

In a full domain config, libvirt allows overriding the normal PCI
vs. PCI Express rules when a device address is explicitly provided
(so, e.g., you can force a legacy PCI device to plug into a PCIe port,
although libvirt would never do that on its own). However, due to a
bug libvirt doesn't give this same leeway when hotplugging devices. On
top of that, current libvirt assumes that *all* devices are legacy
PCI. The result of all this is that it's impossible to hotplug a
device into a PCIe port, even if you manually add the PCI address.
This can all be traced to the function
virDomainPCIAddressEnsureAddr(), and the fact that it calls
virDomainPCIaddressReserveSlot() for manually set addresses, and that
function hardcodes the argument "fromConfig" to false (meaning "this
address was auto-assigned, so it should be subject to stricter
validation").
Since virDomainPCIAddressReserveSlot() is just a one line simple
wrapper around virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr() (adding in a hardcoded
reserveEntireSlot = true and fromConfig = false), all that's needed to
solve the problem with no unwanted side effects is to replace that
call for virDomainPCIAddressReserveSlot() with a direct call to
virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr(), but with reserveEntireSlot = true,
fromConfig = true. That's what this patch does.

e.g. when running nested in KVM. In this case fall back to hw.clockrate
that reports CPU frequency at the boot time.
Having After=libvirtd.service merely ensures that, if both
services are asked to start, libvirtd.service will start
first.
What we really want is for libvirtd.service to be started
whenever libvirt-guests.service is asked to start. Adding a
Requires= relationship guarantees that will happen.
We use a separate line for each After= relationship in other
unit files: do the same here for consistency's sake, and also
to make future changes nicer to diff
libvirt-guests.service does both suspend *and* resume guests,
depending on whether it's being started or stopped: the
description should reflect this, to avoid confusing messages
during startup.
Replace "active" with "running" (to match virsh list's output)
and don't capitalize libvirt.
virtlogd.socket: Tie lifecycle to libvirtd.service
We already guarantee that virtlogd.socket is enabled/disabled
along with libvirtd.service, but if libvirtd.service has just
been installed and is started before rebooting, then
virtlogd.socket will not be running and guest startup will
fail.
Add Requires=virtlogd.socket to libvirtd.service to make sure
virtlogd.socket is always started along with libvirtd.service,
and add Before=libvirtd.service to both virtlogd.socket and
virtlogd.service so that virtlogd never disappears before
libvirtd has exited.
Also add PartOf=libvirtd.service to both virtlogd.socket and
virtlogd.service, so that virtlogd can be shut down when not
needed.
qemu: allow turning off QEMU guest RAM dump globally
We already have the ability to turn off dumping of guest
RAM via the domain XML. This is not particularly useful
though, as it is under control of the management application.
What is needed is a way for the sysadmin to turn off guest
RAM defaults globally, regardless of whether the mgmt app
provides its own way to set this in the domain XML.
So this adds a 'dump_guest_core' option in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
which defaults to false. ie guest RAM will never be included in
the QEMU core dumps by default. This default is different from
historical practice, but is considered to be more suitable as
a default because
a) guest RAM can be huge and so inflicts a DOS on the host
I/O subsystem when dumping core for QEMU crashes
b) guest RAM can contain alot of sensitive data belonging
to the VM owner. This should not generally be copied
around inside QEMU core dumps submitted to vendors for
debugging
c) guest RAM contents are rarely useful in diagnosing
QEMU crashes

qemu: add a max_core setting to qemu.conf for core dump size
Currently the QEMU processes inherit their core dump rlimit
from libvirtd, which is really suboptimal. This change allows
their limit to be directly controlled from qemu.conf instead.
With current perf framework, this patch adds support and documentation
for more perf events, including cache misses, cache references, cpu cycles,
and instructions.

perf: Adjust the perf initialization
Introduce a static attr table and refactor virPerfEventEnable() for
general purpose usage.
This patch creates a static table/matrix that converts the VIR_PERF_EVENT_*
events into their respective "attr.type" and "attr.config" so that
virPerfEventEnable doesn't have the switch the calling function passes
by value the 'type'.
qemu: Filter cur_balloon ABI check for certain transactions
Since the domain lock is not held during preparation of an external XML
config, it is possible that the value can change resulting in unexpected
failures during ABI consistency checking for some save and migrate
operations.
This patch adds a new flag to skip the checking of the cur_balloon value
and then sets the destination value to the source value to ensure
subsequent checks without the skip flag will succeed.
This way it is protected from forges and is keeped up to date too.

libxl: support serial list
Add support for multi serial devices, after this patch virsh can be used to
connect different serial devices of running domains. E.g.
vish # console <xxx> --devname serial<xxx>
Note:
This depends on a xen/libxl bug fix to have libxl_console_get_tty(...) correctly
returning the tty path (as opposed to always returning the first one).

virpci: support driver_override sysfs interface
libvirt uses the new_id PCI sysfs interface to bind a PCI stub driver
to a PCI device. The new_id interface is known to be buggy and racey,
hence a more deterministic interface was introduced in the 3.12 kernel:
driver_override. For more details see
This patch adds support for the driver_override interface by
- adding new virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}StubWithOverride functions
that use the driver_override interface
- renames the existing virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}Stub functions
to virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}StubWithNewid to perserve existing
behavior on new_id interface
- changes virPCIDevice{BindTo,UnbindFrom}Stub function to call one of
the above depending on availability of driver_override
The patch includes a bit of duplicate code, but allows for easily
dropping the new_id code once support for older kernels is no
longer desired.
