When libvirt and qemu are new enough, use host-passthrough for the
CPU default. Nowadays this is recommended over host-model for most
end user usage where migration isn't a critical feature.

These have been used in the past, but no current code touches them,
so drop the parsing infrastructure

host-copy was the old default, but it's fundamentally flawed. Since
we switched to host-model default a few years back, it's not advertised
in the docs or selectable via virt-manager any more.
Have it print a warning and invoke host-model-only

This was previously discussed here:

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.

Historically over time it's been more likely that an issue is reported
for osinfo-db missing the usb-tablet annotation. So for example we
always enable it for the default 'generic' case. We also want to
enable it for osinfo's 'unknown' case too.
Rather than add another check for that, let's just drop the osinfo
checking entirely. Some very old OS don't support usb-tablet, but
specifying it for those cases doesn't cause issues AFAIK, and users
can override it with `--input none` if they want.

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

I'm still seeing blog posts that recommend using
--os-type linux --os-variant XXX
Which has been a no op for a long time but is mostly harmless.
Current git would make this an error condition, but that's too
disruptive IMO. Just print a warning

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.

After checking with qemu devs, this option is not really recommended
for common usage and doesn't get used much in practice. So I don't
think it is suitable for the UI
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
This recommendation came from an internal discussion. The cases are
* For block storage. This means guest requests are passed through
to the host device, which seems a more reasonable default than
ignoring them
* For sparse disk images we will create. discard=unmap helps preserve
the sparseness of the disk image. If a user requests non-sparse, they
are likely more concerned with performance than saving disk space,
so we leave the default as is. We limit this to disk images we will
create, since that's the easiest case to check, and it's less clear
if we should change the behavior here for an arbitrary existing
disk image.

This is from Gerd's suggestions here:
https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/09/display-devices-in-qemu/
When the guest supports it, we should use virtio. qxl is on the way
out, and the benefits are marginal and add a security and maintenance
burden.
While here, check domcaps that qxl or virtio are actually available.
Modern qemu has device modules, so device support may not be installed.

* Make it clear in code and UI that this is x86 only. Other arches
either require UEFI (aarch64) or don't support it
* Drop the internal 'bios' values since we don't handle them and may
not want them anyways, since when win11 support lands we will need
to explicitly throw an error if the user tries to force bios
* Add UI tests

Let users choose libvirt's os.firmware=efi setting in the UI, putting
it about the firmware path list, since it's the preferred default
these days.

<os firmware='efi'> is the libvirt official way to do what we
historically implement with `--boot uefi`, and UEFI setup in
virt-manager.
Let's prefer libvirt's official method if the support is advertised
in domcapabilities.

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

When setting CPU defaults we want to force create the topology even if
the user has not specified anything. In particular this allows for
overriding the QEMU defaults, to expose vCPUs as cores instead of
sockets which is a much saner default for Windows.
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
In real world silicon though it is rare to have high socket/die counts,
but common to have huge core counts.
Some OS will even refuse to use sockets over a certain count.
Thus we prefer to expose cores to the guest rather than sockets as the
default for missing fields.
This matches a recent change made in QEMU for new machine types

The product of sockets * dies * cores * threads must be equal to the
vCPU count. While libvirt and QEMU will report this error scenario,
it makes sense to catch it in virt-install, so we can test our local
logic for setting defaults for topology.
This exposes some inconsistent configurations in the test suite.
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
Any missing values in the topology need to be calculated based on the
other values which are set.
We can take account of fact that 'total_vcpus' treats any unset values
as being 1 to simplify the way we set topology defaults.
This ensures that topology defaulting takes account of dies.
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
It is always permitted to set dies==1 regardless of architecture or
machine type. The only constraint is around setting values > 1, for
archs/machines that don't support the dies concept.
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
Although using --cpu topology.XXX is the preferred way to set topology,
it is still possible via the --vcpus parameter. For consistency, this
should support the full set of parameters, so dies needs to be added.

We should only be returning a driver_type value for volumes that
report support_format(), meaning they support file type formats like
qcow2. Any other reported format should be ignored
Dropping the check for 'unknown' value changes one test case a bit,
but it hardcodes raw which is what libvirt gives us anyways, so it's
okay
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
Usually, when storage volume is attached as a disk and disk xml is filled with
default values, the "<driver type=...>" value is copied from volume's
"<format type=...>". This makes sense for volumes of storage pool of type
"dir", where format types include "raw, qcow2...".
However, the same approach cannot be used for the storage pool of type "disk".
In that case, format types include "none, linux, fat16, fat32...". Such formats
cannot be used for disk's "<driver type=...>".
Therefore, when generating disk XML for volume of storage pool type "disk",
driver type should always be "raw".
