If the host OS doesn't have NUMA present, we fallback to
populating fake NUMA info and the code thus assumes only a
single NUMA node.
Unfortunately we also fallback to fake NUMA if numactl-devel
was not present, and in this case we can still have multiple
NUMA nodes. In this case we create all CPUs, but only the
CPUs in the first node have any data filled in, resulting in
capabilities like:
<topology>
<cells num='1'>
<cell id='0'>
<memory unit='KiB'>15977572</memory>
<cpus num='48'>
<cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
<cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='1'/>
<cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='2'/>
<cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
<cpu id='4' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='4'/>
<cpu id='5' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='5'/>
<cpu id='6' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='6'/>
<cpu id='7' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='7'/>
<cpu id='8' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='8'/>
<cpu id='9' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='9'/>
<cpu id='10' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='10'/>
<cpu id='11' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='11'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
<cpu id='0'/>
</cpus>
</cell>
</cells>
</topology>
With this new code we get something slightly less broken
<topology>
<cells num='4'>
<cell id='0'>
<memory unit='KiB'>15977572</memory>
<cpus num='12'>
<cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0-1'/>
<cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0-1'/>
<cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='2-3'/>
<cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='2-3'/>
<cpu id='4' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='4-5'/>
<cpu id='5' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='4-5'/>
<cpu id='6' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='6-7'/>
<cpu id='7' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='6-7'/>
<cpu id='8' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='8-9'/>
<cpu id='9' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='8-9'/>
<cpu id='10' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='10-11'/>
<cpu id='11' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='10-11'/>
</cpus>
</cell>
<cell id='0'>
<memory unit='KiB'>15977572</memory>
<cpus num='12'>
<cpu id='12' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='12-13'/>
<cpu id='13' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='12-13'/>
<cpu id='14' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='14-15'/>
<cpu id='15' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='14-15'/>
<cpu id='16' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='16-17'/>
<cpu id='17' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='16-17'/>
<cpu id='18' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='18-19'/>
<cpu id='19' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='18-19'/>
<cpu id='20' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='20-21'/>
<cpu id='21' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='20-21'/>
<cpu id='22' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='22-23'/>
<cpu id='23' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='22-23'/>
</cpus>
</cell>
</cells>
</topology>
The topology at least now reflects what 'virsh nodeinfo' reports.
The main bug is that the CPU "id" values won't match what the Linux
host actually uses.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:

Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
- libvir-list@redhat.com (for development only)
