b1b85a475f qemu: Reject 'preserve' action for 'on_reboot'/'on_poweroff'/'on_crash'
The qemu driver didn't ever implement any meaningful handling for the
'preserve' action.

Forbid the flag in the qemu def validator and update the documentation
to be factual.

2b81fbb22e qemu: Reject 'rename-restart' action for 'on_reboot'/'on_poweroff'/'on_crash'
The qemu driver didn't ever implement any meaningful handling for the
'rename-restart' action.

At this point the following handling would take place:

'on_reboot' set to 'rename-restart' is ignored on guest-initiated
reboots, the guest simply reboots.

For on_poweroff set to 'rename-restart' the following happens:

guest initiated shutdown -> 'destroy'
libvirt initiated shutdown -> 'reboot'

In addition when 'on_reboot' is 'destroy' in addition to 'on_poweroff'
being 'rename-restart' the guest is able to execute instructions after
issuing a reset before libvirt terminates it. This will be addressed
separately later.

Forbid the flag in the qemu def validator and update the documentation
to be factual.

the libvirt QEMU driver is not built on Windows platforms.

The SDL audio driver names are based on the SDL 2.0 drivers. It is not

db64acfbda conf: parse/format <teaming> element in plain <hostdev>
The <teaming> element in <interface> allows pairing two interfaces
together as a simple "failover bond" network device in a guest. One of
the devices is the "transient" interface - it will be preferred for
all network traffic when it is present, but may be removed when
necessary, in particular during migration, when traffic will instead
go through the other interface of the pair - the "persistent"
interface. As it happens, in the QEMU implementation of this teaming
pair (called "virtio failover" in QEMU) the transient interface is
always a host network device assigned to the guest using VFIO (aka
"hostdev"); the persistent interface is always an emulated virtio NIC.

When support was initially added for <teaming>, it was written to
require that the transient/hostdev device be defined using <interface
type='hostdev'>; this was done because the virtio failover
implementation in QEMU and the virtio guest driver demands that the
two interfaces in the pair have matching MAC addresses, and the only
way libvirt can guarantee the MAC address of a hostdev network device
is to use <interface type='hostdev'>, whose main purpose is to
configure the device's MAC address before handing the device to
QEMU. (note that <interface type='hostdev'> in turn requires that the
network device be an SRIOV VF (Virtual Function), as that is the only
type of network device whose MAC address we can set in a way that will
survive the device's driver init in the guest).

It has recently come up that some users are unable to use <teaming>
because they are running in a container environment where libvirt
doesn't have the necessary privileges or resources to set the VF's MAC
address (because setting the VF MAC is done via the same device's PF
(Physical Function), and the PF is not exposed to libvirt's container).

At the same time, these users *are* able to set the VF's MAC address
themselves in advance of staring up libvirt in the container. So they
could theoretically use the <teaming> feature if libvirt just skipped
the "setting the MAC address" part.

Fortunately, that is *exactly* the difference between <interface
type='hostdev'> (which must be a "hostdev VF") and <hostdev> (a "plain
hostdev" - it could be *any* PCI device; libvirt doesn't know what type
of PCI device it is, and doesn't care).

But what is still needed is for libvirt to provide a small bit of
information on the QEMU commandline argument for the hostdev, telling
QEMU that this device will be part of a team ("failover pair"), and
the id of the other device in the pair.

To make both of those goals simultaneously possible, this patch adds
support for the <teaming> element to plain <hostdev> - libvirt doesn't
try to set any MAC addresses, and QEMU gets the extra commandline
argument it needs)

(actually, this patch adds only the parsing/formatting of the
<teaming> element in <hostdev>. The next patch will actually wire that
into the qemu driver.)

173733b7a8 conf: Introduce virtio-pmem <memory/> model
The virtio-pmem is a virtio variant of NVDIMM and just like
NVDIMM virtio-pmem also allows accessing host pages bypassing
guest page cache. The difference is that if a regular file is
used to back guest's NVDIMM (model='nvdimm') the persistence of
guest writes might not be guaranteed while with virtio-pmem it
is.

To express this new model at domain XML level, I've chosen the
following:

  <memory model='virtio-pmem' access='shared'>
    <source>
      <path>/tmp/virtio_pmem</path>
    </source>
    <target>
      <size unit='KiB'>524288</size>
    </target>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
  </memory>

Another difference between NVDIMM and virtio-pmem is that while
the former supports NUMA node locality the latter doesn't. And
also, the latter goes onto PCI bus and not into a DIMM module.

154df5840d conf: Introduce <metadata_cache> subelement of <disk><driver>
In certain specific cases it might be beneficial to be able to control
the metadata caching of storage image format drivers of a hypervisor.

Introduce XML machinery to set the maximum size of the metadata cache
which will be used by qemu's qcow2 driver.

cc6c49f6cd conf: Add support for keeping TPM emulator state
Currently, swtpm TPM state file is removed when a transient domain is
powered off or undefined. When we store TPM state on a shared storage
such as NFS and use transient domain, TPM states should be kept as it is.

Add per-TPM emulator option `persistent_sate` for keeping TPM state.
This option only works for the emulator type backend and looks as follows:

  <tpm model='tpm-tis'>
    <backend type='emulator' persistent_state='yes'/>
  </tpm>

On PPC platform it is required that a NVDIMM has an UUID. If none

v6.2.0-rc1~96 and friends). However, the example provided in our

19264c706b conf: add support for ESP SCSI controller family
The NCR53C90 is the built-in SCSI controller on all sparc machine types,
and some mips and m68k machine types.

The DC390 and AM53C974 are PCI SCSI controllers that can be added to any
PCI machine.

These are only interesting for emulating obsolete hardware platforms.

3fc4412c6f qemu: support kvm-poll-control performance hint
QEMU version 4.2 introduced a performance feature under commit
d645e13287 ("kvm: i386: halt poll control MSR support").

This patch adds a new KVM feature 'poll-control' to set this performance
hint for KVM guests. The feature is off by default.

To enable this hint and have libvirt add "-cpu host,kvm-poll-control=on"
to the QEMU command line, the following XML code needs to be added to the
guest's domain description:

  <features>
    <kvm>
      <poll-control state='on'/>
    </kvm>
  </features>
