Peter Krempa df01390afc m4: bhyve: Fix check for the required bhyve programs
bhyveload and bhyvectl wouldn't be checked otherwise as the configure
script wouldn't execute one of the tests:

checking for bhyve... /usr/local/sbin/bhyve
checking for bhyvectl... /usr/local/sbin/bhyvectl
checking for bhyveload... /usr/local/sbin/bhyveload
./configure: line 62602: test: too many arguments

Fix the shell statement testing the 3 binaries.

Matthias Bolte 0e4370eddf vmx: Relax virtualHW.version check
The original implementation of the VMX config parser assumed that the
virtualHW.version would have more influence on the content of the VMX
file than it actually seems to have. It started with accepting only
version 4. Additonal versions were added later without any additional
changes in the parser itself. This suggests that the influence of the
virtualHW.version on the content and format of the VMX file is small
or non-existent.

The parser worked without any changes across several virtualHW and
vSphere versions. So instead of adding new virtualHW.version values to
the parser as they come along, or adding an extra flag to allow unknown
virtualHW.version values just relax the check to require version 4 or
later.

Eric Blake 7c6fc3948e conf: alter disk mirror xml output
Now that we track a disk mirror as a virStorageSource, we might
as well update the XML to theoretically allow any type of
mirroring destination (not just a local file).  A later patch
will also be reusing <mirror> to track the block commit of the
top layer of a chain, which is another case where libvirt needs
to update the backing chain after the job is finally pivoted,
and since backing chains can have network backing files as the
destination to commit into, it makes more sense to display that
in the XML.

This patch changes output-only XML; it was already documented
that <mirror> does not affect a domain definition at this point
(because qemu doesn't provide persistent bitmaps yet).  Any
application that was starting a block copy job with older libvirt
and then relying on the domain XML to determine if it was
complete will no longer be able to access the file= and format=
attributes of mirror that were previously used.  However, this is
not going to be a problem in practice: the only time a block copy
job works is on a transient domain, and any app that is managing
a transient domain probably already does enough of its own
bookkeeping to know which file it is mirroring into without
having to re-read it from the libvirt XML.  The one thing that
was likely to be used in a mirroring job was the ready=
attribute, which is unchanged.  Meanwhile, I made sure the schema
and parser still accept the old format, even if we no longer
output it, so that upgrading from an older version of libvirt is
seamless.

Eric Blake 7b7bf00110 conf: store mirroring information in virStorageSource
The current implementation of 'virsh blockcopy' (virDomainBlockRebase)
is limited to copying to a local file name.  But future patches want
to extend it to also copy to network disks.  This patch converts over
to a virStorageSourcePtr, although it should have no semantic change
visible to the user, in anticipation of those future patches being
able to use more fields for non-file destinations.

Eric Blake c123ef7104 conf: store disk source as pointer, for easier manipulation
As part of the work on backing chains, I'm finding that it would
be easier to directly manipulate chains of pointers (adding a
snapshot merely adjusts pointers to form the correct list) rather
than copy data from one struct to another.  This patch converts
domain disk source to be a pointer.

In this patch, the pointer is ALWAYS allocated (thanks in part to
the previous patch forwarding all disk def allocation through a
common point), and all other changse are just mechanical fallout of
the new type; there should be no functional change.  It is possible
that we may want to leave the pointer NULL for a cdrom with no
medium in a later patch, but as that requires a closer audit of the
source to ensure we don't fault on a null dereference, I didn't do
it here.

Eric Blake bc3f5f190e conf: consolidate disk def allocation
A future patch wants to create disk definitions with non-zero
default contents; to avoid crashes, all callers that allocate
a disk definition should go through a common point.

I found allocation points by looking for any code that increments
ndisks, as well as any matches for ALLOC.*disk.  Most places that
modified ndisks were covered by the parse from XML to domain/device
definition by initial domain creation or device hotplug; I also
hand-checked all drivers that generate a device struct on the
fly during getXMLDesc.

Michal Privoznik 1c70277886 nodedev: Export NUMA node locality for PCI devices
A PCI device can be associated with a specific NUMA node. Later, when
a guest is pinned to one NUMA node the PCI device can be assigned on
different NUMA node. This makes DMA transfers travel across nodes and
thus results in suboptimal performance. We should expose the NUMA node
locality for PCI devices so management applications can make better
decisions.

Eric Blake 3cbd3b8e3a maint: detect VPATH builds when checking for gnulib update
I accidentally typed 'make' in the srcdir of a VPATH build, and
was surprised to see this:

$ make
/bin/sh: s/^[ +-]//;s/ .*//: No such file or directory
INFO: gnulib update required; running ./autogen.sh first
make: -n: Command not found
./autogen.sh
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
running bootstrap...
./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out libvirt sources...
./bootstrap: getting gnulib files...

Oops - we're trying to execute some fairly bogus command names,
and then trying to configure in-tree (which breaks all existing
VPATH builds, since automake refuses to do a VPATH build if it
detects an in-tree configure).  The third line (executing "-n")
is fixed by updating to the latest gnulib; the rest of the problem
is fixed by copying the same filtering in our cfg.mk as what
gnulib just added, so that we avoid any $(shell) invocations which
in turn depend on variables that are only populated by a working
Makefile.  With that in place, we are back to the much nicer:

$ make
There seems to be no Makefile in this directory.
You must run ./configure before running 'make'.
make: *** [abort-due-to-no-makefile] Error 1

Additionally, although harder to see - there was a trailing space in
the message warning us that autogen would run an in-tree configure.

* .gnulib: Update to latest, in part for maint.mk improvements.

Peter Krempa 9046f910bd tests: monitor: json: Fix error message when returning json in json
The qemu JSON monitor test allows to test also expected command
arguments. As the error from the monitor simulator is returned as a
simulated qemu error (in JSON) all other JSON contained in the error
message needs to be escaped. This will happen if the monitor command
under test receives a JSON array as an argument.

This will improve the error message from:
libvirt:  error : internal error: cannot parse json { "error":  { "desc":
"Invalid value of argument 'keys' of command 'send-key': expected 'ble'
got '[{"type":"number","data":43},{"type":"number","data":26},

{"type":"number","data":26},{"type":"number","data":46},

Jiri Denemark 5bf670323e qemu: Return in from qemuDomainRemove*Device
Some of the APIs already return int since they can produce errors that
need to be propagated. For consistency reasons, this patch changes the
rest of the APIs to also return int even though they do not fail or
report any errors.

Jiri Denemark 55b21f9b23 qemu: Remove character device backend only after frontend is gone
In general, we should only remove a backend after seeing DEVICE_DELETED
event for a corresponding frontend.

Jiri Denemark 0635785b6e qemu: Remove disk backend only after frontend is gone
In general, we should only remove a backend after seeing DEVICE_DELETED
event for a corresponding frontend. This doesn't make any difference for
disks attached using -drive or drive_add since QEMU automatically
removes their backends but it's still better to make our code
consistent. And it may start making difference in case we switch to
attaching disks using -blockdev.

Jiri Denemark 81f765985e qemu: Remove interface backend only after frontend is gone
[1] reported that we are removing network's backend too early. I didn't
really get the reproducer but libvirt behaves strangely when a guest
does not confirm the removal, e.g., it does not support PCI hotplug. In
such case, detaching a network device leaves its frontend in place but
removes the backend, which makes the device unusable for the guest.
Moreover attaching the same device again succeeds and both the guest and
libvirt will see two network interfaces attached but only one of them is
actually working.

I checked with Paolo Bonzini and he confirmed we should only remove a
backend after seeing DEVICE_DELETED event for a corresponding frontend.

Peter Krempa 8ed19d8cc5 tests: storagetest: Unify and reformat storage chain format string
All the fields crammed into two lines weren't easy to parse by human
eyes. Split up the format string into lines and put it into a central
variable so that changes in two places aren't necessary.

Peter Krempa f744b831c6 qemu: json: Add format strings for optional command arguments
This patch adds option to specify that a json qemu command argument is
optional without the need to use if's or ternary operators to pass the
list. Additionally all the modifier characters are documented to avoid
user confusion.

Peter Krempa 682267496b util: string: Return element count from virStringSplit
To allow using the array manipulation macros on the arrays returned by
virStringSplit we need to know the count of the elements in the array.
Modify virStringSplit to return this value, rename it and add a helper
with the old name so that we don't need to update all the code.
