Properly setting the metadata cache size can provide better performance
in case of using big qcow2 images.
This patch introduces two driver options:
* driver.metadata_cache.max_size
* driver.metadata_cache.max_size.unit
E.g. --disk ...,driver.type=qcow2,\
driver.metadata_cache.max_size=2,\
driver.metadata_cache.max_size.unit=MiB
BTW, Metadata cache size control is currently supported only for qcow2.
Regarding how to properly caluclate the cache size of qcow2, Please refer
to qemu's documentation.

It allows to set the thread pool size to optimize spawning worker threads
for the default event loop in real time environment. For example:
--iothreads defaultiothread.thread_pool_min=8,\
defaultiothread.thread_pool_max=16
Signed-off-by: Lin Ma <lma@suse.com>
These two optional attributes allow setting lower and upper boundary for
number of worker threads for given IOThread. For example:
--iothreads iothreads=2,\
iothreadids.iothread0.id=1,\
iothreadids.iothread1.id=2,\
iothreadids.iothread1.thread_pool_min=8,\
iothreadids.iothread1.thread_pool_max=16

The various version numbers reported by libvirt are all relevant pieces
of information when debugging problem reports.

Knowledge of the version number is not always available from the user
bug report. They may merely have a log file from an automated system.

This allows support for host/guest clipboard sharing when using vnc
guests (and possibly other graphics types in the future). This channel
is similar to the spicevmc channel, but it contains a couple additional
options to enable/disable clipboard sharing and specify the mouse mode.
In the case of spice, these settings are specified on the 'graphics'
element, but for qemu-vdagent, they are specified on the channel. For
example:
--channel=qemu-vdagent,source.clipboard.copypaste=on,source.mouse.mode=client

This adds the power of --xml to individual device options. For example
this makes it easier to make custom XML changes for a single --disk
device from both virt-install and virt-xml

This is a virt-xml option to refresh a VM to use the latest machine
type version for the machine type it's currently using. Ex:
pseries-2.11 -> pseries
pc-q35-5.0 -> q35
This is useful for when qemu deprecates and removes the machine type
out from under you, or to pick up bug fixes.

Libvirt defaults to PCIe for arm32/aarch64 and riscv -M virt too.
Rename q35_pcie_root_ports to num_pcie_root_ports and extend the
logic to those archs too
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
The code previously was just encoding the same defaults as libvirt,
which doesn't really add anything.
Instead, let's prefer type='emulator' model='tpm-crb', which
gives the most modern virtualization friendly config. When we don't
know if that will work, we mostly leave things up to libvirt to fill
in.
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
Add extra PCIe root ports to enable q35 device hotplug to work out
of the box. A typical modern linux guest has 7-8 PCI devices added
by default, so this gives plenty of wiggle room.
The smart thing to do would be to count the attached PCI devices
and add 4-5 extra, but that takes more work and isn't trivial.
The number can be overridden on the cli with:
--controller q35_pcie_root_ports=X
Use =0 to go back to the old behavior.

For the x86 + hvm case, failure to specify an --osinfo/--os-variant
OS, and failure to detect an OS from install media, will now throw
a big error:
```
--os-variant/--osinfo OS name is required, but no value was
set or detected.
This is now a fatal error. Specifying an OS name is required
for modern, performant, and secure virtual machine defaults.
If you expected virt-install to detect an OS name from the
install media, you can set a fallback OS name with:
--osinfo detect=on,name=OSNAME
You can see a full list of possible OS name values with:
virt-install --osinfo list
If your Linux distro is not listed, try one of generic values
such as: linux2020, linux2018, linux2016
If you just need to get the old behavior back, you can use:
--osinfo detect=on,require=off
Or export VIRTINSTALL_OSINFO_DISABLE_REQUIRE=1
```
The thread goes into more detail, but basically, for x86 VMs at least,
it's unlikely you will _ever_ want the default 'generic' behavior,
which gives gives no virtio, no PCIe, no usb3, IDE disks, slow
network devices, etc.
Many people use virt-install in scripts and CI, and this may now
cause breakage. The environment variable is there to help them
get things back to normal as quick as possible, but it will still
noisy up their logs with the warning to hopefully get them to make
a useful change to their virt-install invocations.
This is limited to x86, since that's where most of our defaults
historically differ, and where we can depend on libosinfo to give
the most accurate device info. This may be relevant to change for
other KVM architectures in the future.

Currently we skip the warning if the user explicitly requests
`--osinfo generic`. Upcoming changes to the defaults here will make
it tempting to specify `--osinfo generic` just to make things work,
and we want to dissuade that, so enable the warning for that case too.

We are about to change the some defaults around os handling. Let's
start recommending the nicer named --osinfo more, since new error
messages are going to promote it a bit as well
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
The canonical tool for this is `osinfo-query os`, which we still
reference in the man pages and in the list output.
However, we are about to make missing --os-variant fatal for common
usage, and I don't want to force users to install an extra tool just
to figure out what an acceptable --os-variant value is.

This replaces the pattern:
Guest.set_uefi_path(Guest.get_uefi_path())
With a single entrypoint
Guest.enable_uefi()
to immediately change the guest config to use UEFI, using our
default logic.
This will make it easier to change that logic in the future, like
using <os firmware='efi'> instead of hardcoded paths

Both these windows versions are now longer supported, and UEFI isn't
the default, so I don't think this hack is much needed anymore
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
The bare metal world is moving to a situation where UEFI is going to be
the only supported firmware and there will be a strong expectation for
TPM and SecureBoot support.
With this in mind, if we're enabling UEFI on a VM, it makes sense to
also provide a TPM alongside it.
Since this requires swtpm to be installed we can't do this
unconditionally. The forthcoming libvirt release expands the domain
capabilities to report whether TPMs are supported, so we check that.
The user can disable the default TPM by requesting --tpm none

Add the ability to set the ioapic driver using the --features argument:
$ virt-install --features ioapic.driver=qemu ...
This results in the following xml:
<features>
...
<ioapic driver="qemu"/>
</features>
This is required in order to install a guest with >255 cpus. Such a
configuration requires an iommu with extended interrupt mode enabled,
which in turn requires IOMMU interrupt remapping to be enabled, which in
turn requires a split I/O APIC.

Shuffling bits of code around, adding comments and grouping CLI options
to make the code easier to read and understand at a glance.
Brings the ordering of XML options in line with libvirt's own output as
implemented in `src/conf/cpu_conf.c` and `src/conf/numa_conf.c`.
This includes support for the following options:
* numa.interconnects.latency[0-9]*.initiator
* numa.interconnects.latency[0-9]*.target
* numa.interconnects.latency[0-9]*.cache
* numa.interconnects.latency[0-9]*.type
* numa.interconnects.latency[0-9]*.value
* numa.interconnects.latency[0-9]*.unit
* The same suboptions for `numa.interconnects.bandwith[0-9]*`
Note that the cache= attribute is only explicitly defined for <latency>
nodes in the documentation. However, since <latency> and <bandwidth>
nodes are otherwise identical, the docs also don't explicitly forbid it
for <bandwidth> nodes, and libvirt happily accepts XML that does specify
it for for <bandwidth> nodes, this implements the cache= attribute for
<bandwidth> elements as well.
This includes support for the following options:
* numa.cell[0-9]*.cache[0-9]*.level
* numa.cell[0-9]*.cache[0-9]*.associativity
* numa.cell[0-9]*.cache[0-9]*.policy
* numa.cell[0-9]*.cache[0-9]*.size.value
* numa.cell[0-9]*.cache[0-9]*.size.unit
* numa.cell[0-9]*.cache[0-9]*.line.value
* numa.cell[0-9]*.cache[0-9]*.line.unit
