The error message doesn't really convey the information that 3d

babcbf2d5c qemu: Create base hugepages path on memory hotplug
Users can play all sorts of games with mount points. For
instance, they can unmount and mount back a hugetlbfs and only
after that attempt to hotplug memory.

This has an unfortunate consequence though. During memory
hotplug, when qemuProcessBuildDestroyMemoryPaths() is called the
path is created with very restrictive mode (0700) because under
the hood g_mkdir_with_parents(path, 0700) is called.

Therefore, create the driver generic portion of the path
separately.

ad5c4be09f schema: Re-structure schema for <filesystem> to avoid broken validation
The validation of a '<filesystem type='mount'>' device fails if the
elements inside are not ordered in the order in the schema despite using
<interleave>. This is a bug in libxml2's validator as removing the
'<optional>' property from the definition of the 'type' attribute with
'mount' variable fixes the problem.

I've reported it as another instance of a seemingly related issue:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/131

Meanwhile libvirt can re-arrange the schema by extracting the common
bits into a new definition and referencing them from each of the choice
groups explicitly.

06ebad7c78 tests: refactor pseries features parse failure tests
The qemuxml2argvtest pseries-feature parse failure tests uses a symlink
to the pseries-features.xml test domain and control which feature it is
supposed to fail by excluding it from the capabilities list. The
advantage of this approach is that the same XML can be used in multiple
tests.

One downside is that any new pseries capability must be declared in all
existent tests, otherwise all other tests can break if this new
capability happens to be validated early in qemu_validate.c. Any new
parse_error test must declare all other existent capabilities.

Another downside is the fact that we're testing fairly improbable
scenarios: all pseries capabilities being tested here were introduced by
the same QEMU version, 4.2.0, at least as far as libvirt is aware of.
This means that it's no possible to have a scenario where, for example,
ccf-assist is not present but cfpc is. And last, but not the least, it's
getting in the way of our effort to convert all pseries tests to not use
explicit capabilities.

Changing all these tests to use DO_TEST_PARSE_ERROR_NOCAPS() will allow
us to test exactly what we want to test, which is the parse error given
for each feature if the binary does not have support for it. The XML
being used for each test can be simplified to just declare a single
feature. In the end we'll end up with more XML lines, but less
complexity inside qemuxml2argvtest.c.

8ff73d22c7 tests: change qemuxml2argv pseries tests to TEST_CAPS_LATEST
Eliminate most of the pseries tests that are using explicit qemu caps
instead of CAPS_LATEST. The remaining tests will be handled in the next
patch.

The changes made are trivial: rename the .args/.err files to
ppc64-latest.(args/err) and do the required changes to match the newest
capabilities.

A notable expection were tests pseries-console-native,
pseries-serial-compat and pseries-serial+console-native. These are
aliases of the pseries-serial-native tests.  In this case we needed to
re-create the symlink accordingly.

b0ff3af412 qemu_capabilities: Translate CPU blockers
Since commit "cpu_x86: Disable blockers from unusable CPU models"
(v3.8.0-99-g9c9620af1d) we explicitly disable CPU features reported by
QEMU as usability blockers for a particular CPU model when creating
baseline or host-model CPU definition. When QEMU changed canonical names
for some features (mostly those with '_' in their names), we forgot to
translate the blocker lists to names used by libvirt and the renamed
features would no longer be explicitly disabled in the created CPU model
even if they were reported as blockers by QEMU.

For example, on a host where EPYC CPU model has the following blockers

    <blocker name='sha-ni'/>
    <blocker name='mmxext'/>
    <blocker name='fxsr-opt'/>
    <blocker name='cr8legacy'/>
    <blocker name='sse4a'/>
    <blocker name='misalignsse'/>
    <blocker name='osvw'/>

we would fail to disable 'fxsr-opt':

    <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
      <model fallback='forbid'>EPYC</model>
      <feature policy='disable' name='sha-ni'/>
      <feature policy='disable' name='mmxext'/>
      <feature policy='disable' name='cr8legacy'/>
      <feature policy='disable' name='sse4a'/>
      <feature policy='disable' name='misalignsse'/>
      <feature policy='disable' name='osvw'/>
      <feature policy='disable' name='monitor'/>
    </cpu>

The 'monitor' feature is disabled even though it is not reported as a
blocker by QEMU because libvirt's definition of EPYC includes the
feature while it is missing in EPYC definition in QEMU.

thus we have to guard its call. But since @dispatcher is already

replace the condition from 'if (dispatcher)' to 'if (arg)' and

031878c236 src: warn if client hits the max requests limit
Since they are simply normal RPC messages, the keep alive packets are

Thus, if a client hits the 'max_client_requests' limit and all the
pending API calls take a long time to complete, it may result in
keep-alives firing and dropping the client connection.

This has been seen by a number of users with the default value of
max_client_requests=5, by issuing 5 concurrent live migration
operations.

By printing a warning message when this happens, admins will be alerted
to the fact that their active clients are exceeding the default client
requests limit.

83c6d80abc tools: add virt-qemu-qmp-proxy for proxying QMP via libvirt QEMU guests
Libvirt provides QMP passthrough APIs for the QEMU driver and these are
exposed in virsh. It is not especially pleasant, however, using the raw
QMP JSON syntax. QEMU has a tool 'qmp-shell' which can speak QMP and
exposes a human friendly interactive shell. It is not possible to use
this with libvirt managed guest, however, since only one client can
attach to the QMP socket at any point in time. While it would be
possible to configure a second QMP socket for a VM, it may not be
an known requirement at the time the guest is provisioned.

The virt-qmp-proxy tool aims to solve this problem. It opens a UNIX
socket and listens for incoming client connections, speaking QMP on
the connected socket. It will forward any QMP commands received onto
the running libvirt QEMU guest, and forward any replies back to the
QMP client. It will also forward back events.

  $ virsh start demo
  $ virt-qmp-proxy demo demo.qmp &
  $ qmp-shell demo.qmp
  Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
  Connected to QEMU 6.2.0

  (QEMU) query-kvm
  {
      "return": {
          "enabled": true,
          "present": true
      }
  }

Note this tool of course has the same risks as the raw libvirt
QMP passthrough. It is safe to run query commands to fetch information
but commands which change the QEMU state risk disrupting libvirt's
management of QEMU, potentially resulting in data loss/corruption in
the worst case. Any use of this tool will cause the guest to be marked
as tainted as an warning that it could be in an unexpected state.

Since this tool introduces a python dependency it is not desirable
to include it in any of the existing RPMs in libvirt. This tool is
also QEMU specific, so isn't appropriate to bundle with the generic
tools. Thus a new RPM is introduced 'libvirt-clients-qemu', to
contain additional QEMU specific tools, with extra external deps.

491d918502 ci: refresh with latest lcitool manifest
This refresh switches the CI for contributors to be triggered by merge
requests. Pushing to a branch in a fork will no longer run CI pipelines,
in order to avoid consuming CI minutes. To regain the original behaviour
contributors can opt-in to a pipeline on push

   git push <remote> -o ci.variable=RUN_PIPELINE=1

This variable can also be set globally on the repository, through the
web UI options Settings -> CI/CD -> Variables, though this is not
recommended. Upstream repo pushes to branches will run CI.

The use of containers has changed in this update, with only the upstream
repo creating containers, in order to avoid consuming contributors'
limited storage quotas. A fork with existing container images may delete
them. Containers will be rebuilt upstream when pushing commits with CI
changes to the default branch. Any other scenario with CI changes will
simply install build pre-requisite packages in a throaway environment,
using the ci/buildenv/ scripts. These scripts may also be used on a
contributor's local machines.

With pipelines triggered by merge requests, it is also now possible to
workaround the inability of contributors to run pipelines if they have
run out of CI quota. A project member can trigger a pipeline from the
merge request, which will run in context of upstream, however, note
this should only be done after reviewing the code for any malicious
CI changes.
