Jim Fehlig 4d7cfb4cdf build: Add option to control building libvirtd
Add meson option 'libvirtd' to control building of the monolithic
libvirtd, independent from the stateful, daemon-based drivers. E.g.

meson configure -Dlibvirtd=disabled build-dir

The new option defaults to 'auto' and will be enabled when 'driver_libvirtd'
is enabled. Setting libvirtd=disabled skips building the libvirtd binary,
and related items such as config files, systemd units, etc.

The existing option 'driver_libvirtd' controls building libvirtd and all
stateful, daemon-based drivers, making it unsuitable for disabling only
the monolithic daemon. Additionally, 'driver_libvirtd' is used by the
various libvirt-ci projects to produce a minimalistic build.

Michal Privoznik 2c8d914b81 virsh: Make --type argument of detach-interface optional
The detach-interface virsh command requires domain (obviously)
and --type to identify <interface/>. Optionally, --mac can be
provided to chose from multiple interfaces. Well, that renders
--type argument redundant. I mean, if there are but unique MACs
within domain XML, then interface type is implied. If there are
duplicate MACs then --type can help to differentiate, though at
that point detach-device seems like a better fit.

Long story short, make --type optional.

Peter Krempa b6f7c2d3db conf: Add fields for recording actually-selected virtio video device
QEMU's commandline generator picks for virtio video between various
actual device models not only based on the XML definition but also
capabilities present. Since none of the devices is actually ABI
compatible we need to record the actually selected device in the XML.

Introduce 'device' attribute:

      <video>
        <model type='virtio' heads='1' primary='yes' device='virtio-gpu'/>

which will record the actually selected model so that we can preserve
ABI across restarts on deployment changes but more importantly across
migrations where the deployment differs.

The code specifically avoids an ABI stability check for the new field
because there are already possibly broken configurations that the users
may want to fix by picking the proper model which could be forbidden.

Users are instructed to not set the field in the XML.

Laine Stump f0c89a8aa9 virsh: new command "domifannounce"
virsh domifannounce is a thin wrapper around the new API
virDomainAnnounceInterface(). Syntax:

     virsh domifannounce guestname [interfacename] [parameters]

where the optional interfacename can be either the MAC address of the
interface to announce, or the name of the tap device used to connect
the domain's interface to the real network (if the connection is with
a tap device), and [parameters] is one or more of the following options:

  --initial [unsigned integer]
  --max     [unsigned integer]
  --rounds  [unsigned integer]
  --step    [unsigned integer]

For example:

    virsh domifannounce myguest 52:54:00:BE:EF:E1 --initial 100

Martin Kletzander ac2d865eda esx: Track VMs by instanceUuid instead of UUID
The difference is that the usual UUID is supposed to be unique per host
and instanceUuid should be unique across the whole cluster.  One could
think of them as HUID and CUID (as the first "U" does apparently mean
something else in the Broadcom world).  That _would_ be fine for our
scenario.  However, that piece of information turns out to be false as
well and the UUID we were using (`config.uuid`, or in VMX the
`uuid.bios`) can be the same in two machines on the same host.

Fortunately the `FindByUuid()` function can also search for VMs based on
their `instanceUuid`, dictated by the so far omitted third parameter.
Unfortunately that parameter is not parsed (or at least properly) before
vSphere API 4.0 (the documentation says 2.0, but we are not using that
namespace and 4.0 is the lowest we can target), which we are not
specifying in the server returns a 500 HTTP error if we use the
`instanceUuid` parameter.

So this patch adds the `SOAPAction: urn:vim25/4.0` header to the cURL
requests which makes that `FindByUuid()` function work even with the
`instanceUuid` set, but without any extra labor.

After that this patch also changes all UUIDs to be parsed from the
`config.instanceUuid` (or `vc.uuid` in the VMX, but there's a fallback
to the old `uuid.bios`) and adjusts tests accordingly.

To give users (and management applications) the possibility to revert
back to the previous (legacy) behaviour a new URI query parameter is
introduced, called `legacy_uuid` which, if set to `1`, still keeps the
code working as it did before this patch.

Last, but not least it changes the parameter to aforementioned function
to be true (unless the legacy behaviour is requested, of course) and
henceforth all searching ought to be done with the more unique ID.

Jedrzej Wasiukiewicz 615a7bb898 conf: add energytune to domain XML
The new XML element is <energytune> under <cputune> following earlier pattern for

cache and memory features, keeping all resctrl handling under cputune. This also makes
sense with current resctrl architecture - all monitoring groups are part of an
allocation group.

Changes:
 - Added <energytune> parsing to domain_conf.c
 - Added schema definition in domaincommon.rng
 - Documented the element in formatdomain.rst

Roman Bogorodskiy ddf09630e5 bhyve: add blkiotune support
FreeBSD supports resource limiting with the rctl(4) framework.
It supports various resource types, including I/O resources.
It allows to limit resources for users, processes, login classes,
and jails.

To apply blkiotune limits set limits for the bhyve process.

I/O related resources supported by rctl(4) are:

  readbps            filesystem reads, in bytes per second
  writebps           filesystem writes, in bytes per second
  readiops           filesystem reads, in operations per second
  writeiops          filesystem writes, in operations per second

Thus, the actual commands look like:

rctl -a process:$bhyvepid:writebps:throttle=10000000
rctl -a process:$bhyvepid:readbps:throttle=10000000
rctl -a process:$bhyvepid:writeiops:throttle=20000
rctl -a process:$bhyvepid:readiops:throttle=20000

This is different from the current blkiotune modeling in libvirt as
it requires specific device to apply limits to. To adapt this model
to per-domain I/O limits, update domain schema to specify "*" as a
device name.

The rctl(8) may be not available or not enabled, so add a capability
check for that.

Per process rules get removed when the process disappears, so no special
clean up is necessary.

Zhenzhong Duan 9b6b234c0e docs: Change TD example policy to 0x10000000
The definition of BIT0 in policy element comes from TDX spec, but it makes
confusion for some customers whether 0 or 1 activates debug:

  1. We know that "off-TD debug mode" basically means debug from outside the
     TD --> 1 activates debug.
  2. But when a customer is not aware of the term "off-TD debug" it is very
     easy to misinterpret this as "TD debug mode off" --> 1 deactivates debug.

Given that the policy example uses "0x10000001", the second interpretation
even becomes more likely, because a customer may assume that security by
default is applied in the example.

Thus, change the policy in example configuration to "0x10000000" and update
BIT0 definition to be more explicit.

Laine Stump 331d9fe3ba qemu: support setting default route for passt interfaces inside the guest
libvirt's <interface> element has for a long time supported adding
<route> sub-elements to specify arbitrary routes to be added to the
guest OS networking, but historically this has only worked for LXC
guests. If you tried to add <route> to the interface of a QEMU guest,
it would be rejected.

passt networking doesn't support setting *any arbitrary* route but it
does support setting a default route (using the passt commandline
"--gateway" parameter). A default route is really just a "route with
unspecified destination/prefix", so a default route can be specified
in libvirt XML with:

   <route gateway='192.168.0.1'/>

Attempts to give a specified destination, prefix, or metric will
result in a validation error.

Michal Privoznik 380fb89390 conf: Parse hyperv features even for host-model
As it turns out, some users of the hyperv "host-model" mode might
want to override the hypervisor defaults. For instance disable a
feature that's on by default, or vice versa. Currently, this is
not possible because as soon as our XML parser sees the
"host-model" mode it exits early and skips parsing of individual
features (for "custom" mode). Well, do not return early and parse
the rest.

Peter Krempa 0d3ef7cb71 qemu: Implement support for persistent reservation migration control
The 'migration' attribute for the '<reservations>' element allows to
control the persistent reservation migration feature independently of
the machine type default.

Add the XML plumbing and qemu support.

We consider it ABI for now since it influences qemu migration protocol.

Michal Privoznik 43892d9915 conf: Introduce granule attribute for virtio-iommu
In PCI assignment scenario the virtio-iommu needs to know the
guest page size also known as granule. Expose it as an attribute
to the <driver/> element of a virtio-iommu.

This is possibly interesting only for aarch64 since it supports
virtio-iommu and also supports running guests with different page
size than the host.
