Ján Tomko b33eb0dca1 qemu: auto-add pci-root controller for pc machine types
<controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/>
is auto-added to pc* machine types.
Without this controller PCI bus 0 is not available and
no PCI addresses are assigned by default.

Since older libvirt supported PCI bus 0 even without
this controller, it is removed from the XML when migrating.

Osier Yang d70f2e117a numad: Always output 'placement' of <vcpu>
<vcpu> is not an optional node. The value for its 'placement'
actually always defaults to 'static' in the underlying codes.
(Even no 'cpuset' and 'placement' is specified, the domain
process will be pinned to all the available pCPUs).

Eric Blake 265457845f xml: output memory unit for clarity
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.

Tests were updated via:

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

Osier Yang 4288b22fb2 conf: Introduce new attribute for device address format
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new member "target" to struct
  _virDomainDeviceDriveAddress.

* Lots of tests (.xml) in tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout,
  tests/qemuxml2argvdata, tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata, and
  tests/vmx2xmldata/ are modified for newly introduced
  attribute "target" for address of "drive" type.

Marc-André Lureau 42043afcdc domain: add implicit USB controller
Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.

Fix tests to pass with this change.

Laine Stump e9bd5c0e24 Add txmode attribute to interface XML for virtio backend
This is in response to:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662

Explanation

qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.

'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)

'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)

The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:

    bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
    causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
    tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
    packets.

Solution

This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:

    <interface ...>
      ...
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver txmode='iothread'/>
      ...
    </interface>

I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)

Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of

    qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?

If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.

Matthias Bolte d9ad8ac392 Add VIR_DIV_UP to divide memory or storage request sizes with round up
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.

This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.

Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.

Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.

Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.

Daniel P. Berrange b2f1863533 Explicitly represent balloon device in XML and handle PCI address
To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the
XML. This introduces a new device

   <memballoon model='virtio|xen'/>

It can also have a PCI address, auto-assigned if necessary.

The memballoon will be automatically added to all Xen and QEMU
guests by default.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <memballoon> element
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: parsing
  and formatting for memballoon device. Always add a memory
  balloon device to Xen/QEMU if none exists in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export memballoon model APIs
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Honour the
  PCI device address in memory balloon device
* tests/*: Update to test new functionality

Daniel P. Berrange 1dd6f855c3 Convert NICs over to use -device & -netdev where possible
The current syntax uses a pair of args

   -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:56:6c:55,vlan=3,model=pcnet,name=pcnet.0
   -net user,vlan=3,name=user.0

The new syntax does not  need the vlan craziness anymore, and
so has a simplified pair of args

   -netdev user,id=user.0
   -device pcnet,netdev=user.0,id=pcnet.0,mac=52:54:00:56:6c:55,addr=<PCI SLOT>
