Radostin Stoyanov e390bb1571 apibuild: Simplify conditional statements
Improve readability by reducing the complexity and length of
conditional statements.

Example: The following condition:

	if (o >= 97 and o <= 122) or
	   (o >= 65 and o <= 90) or
	   (o >= 48 and o <= 57) or
	   (" \t(){}:;,+-*/%&!|[]=><".find(line[i]) == -1):

Will be True for every character that is not in string:
	" \t(){}:;,+-*/%&!|[]=><"

Andrea Bolognani 677aaeb128 python: Drop explicit version where possible
Some of our scripts are known to work both with Python 2 and
Python 3, so for them we shouldn't be forcing any specific

always use $(PYTHON) explicitly in our build rules anyway.

In 2074ef6cd4 and c56cdf259 (and friends) we've added two

However, sysadmins might want to set these on per-host basis but
don't necessarily have an access to domain XML (e.g. because they
are generated by some other app). So let's expose them under
qemu.conf (the settings from domain XML still take precedence as
they are more specific ones).

Daniel P. Berrange 68eed56b2d conf: add support for setting OEM strings SMBIOS data fields
The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.

As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like

    <oemStrings>
      <entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
      <entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
    </oemStrings>

use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.

This makes <serial> usable on s390 and s390x guests, with at most only
a single sclpconsole and one sclplmconsole devices usable in a single
guest (due to limitations in QEMU, which will enforce already at
runtime).

Andrea Bolognani eccdcb81fc conf: Add target type and model for pl011
We can finally introduce a specific target model for the pl011 device
used by mach-virt guests, which means isa-serial will no longer show
up to confuse users.

We make sure migration works in both directions by interpreting the
isa-serial target type, or the lack of target type, appropriately
when parsing the guest XML, and skipping the newly-introduced type
when formatting if for migration. We also verify that pl011 is not
used for non-mach-virt guests and add a bunch of test cases.

Marc-André Lureau 7e4177a35b qemu: add vmcoreinfo support
Starting from qemu 2.11, the `-device vmcoreinfo` will create a fw_cfg
entry for a guest to store dump details, necessary to process kernel
dump with KASLR enabled and providing additional kernel details.

In essence, it is similar to -fw_cfg name=etc/vmcoreinfo,file=X but in
this case it is not backed by a file, but collected by QEMU itself.

Since the device is a singleton and shouldn't use additional hardware
resources, it is presented as a <feature> element in the libvirt
domain XML.

The device is arm/x86 only for now (targets that support fw_cfg+dma).

Daniel P. Berrange 9061b3090e docs: add a page describing support guarantees for libvirt features
While we have collective knowledge about the support status of various
parts of libvirt, this has never been formally documented, leaving our
users to guess.

Note, this document makes one change to our previous policy. It explicitly
declares the RPC protocol of libvirtd as being a supported interface. THis
accepts the reality that we can a) never change it without breaking compat
with old libvirt.so, b) there are both rust + go impls that are written
against the RPC protocol already.

Wim ten Have 74119a03f1 numa: describe siblings distances within cells
Add support for describing NUMA distances in a domain's <numa> <cell>
XML description.

Below is an example of a 4 node setup:

  <cpu>
    <numa>
      <cell id='0' cpus='0-3' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='1' cpus='4-7' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='31'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
      <cell id='2' cpus='8-11' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='10'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='21'/>
        </distances>
      <cell id='3' cpus='12-15' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
        <distances>
          <sibling id='0' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='1' value='31'/>
          <sibling id='2' value='21'/>
          <sibling id='3' value='10'/>
        </distances>
      </cell>
    </numa>
  </cpu>

A <cell> defines a NUMA node. <distances> describes the NUMA distance
from the <cell> to the other NUMA nodes (the <sibling>s).  For example,
in above XML description, the distance between NUMA node0 <cell id='0'
...> and NUMA node2 <sibling id='2' ...> is 31.

Valid distance values are '10 <= value <= 255'.  A distance value of 10
represents the distance to the node itself.  A distance value of 20
represents the default value for remote nodes but other values are
possible depending on the physical topology of the system.

When distances are not fully described, any missing sibling distance
values will default to 10 for local nodes and 20 for remote nodes.

If distance is given for A -> B, then we default B -> A to the same
value instead of 20.

John Ferlan 37537a7c64 conf: Add/Allow parsing the encryption in the disk source
Since the virStorageEncryptionPtr encryption; is a member of
 _virStorageSource it really should be allowed to be a subelement
of the disk <source> for various disk formats:

   Source{File|Dir|Block|Volume}
   SourceProtocol{RBD|ISCSI|NBD|Gluster|Simple|HTTP}

NB: Simple includes sheepdog, ftp, ftps, tftp

That way we can set up to allow the <encryption> element to be
formatted within the disk source, but we still need to be wary
from whence the element was read - see keep track and when it
comes to format the data, ensure it's written in the correct place.

Modify the qemuxml2argvtest to add a parse failure when there is an
<encryption> as a child of <disk> *and* an <encryption> as a child
of <source>.

The virschematest will read the new test files and validate from a
RNG viewpoint things are fine.
