Current implementation uses the dev.cpu.0.freq sysctl that is
provided by the cpufreq(4) framework and returns the actual
CPU frequency. However, there are environments where it's not available,
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
