[libvirt] Release of libvirt-3.2.0
by Daniel Veillard 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

As planned I tagged the release in git, the tree is now open for development. A signed tarball and rpms are available from the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also made release of the python bindings, libvirt-python-3,2,0 is available from: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ This new release includes a number of new user visible features as well as some improvement and bug fixes too: * New features - The virt-host-validate tool now supports bhyve hypervisor - Introduce NVDIMM memory model NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea is that we have a non-volatile memory module that keeps the data persistent across domain reboots and offers much faster data accesses. However, due to a bug in QEMU, this feature is not enabled for QEMUs older than 2.9.0. - qemu: Introduce support for generic PCIe Root Ports For new controllers, a generic device (pcie-root-port) will be used by default instead of the Intel-specific device (ioh3420), provided the QEMU binary supports it. - qemu: Add support for checking guest CPU ABI compatibility When migrating a domain to a different host, restoring a domain from a file or reverting a snapshot libvirt will make sure the guest CPU QEMU presents to the guest OS exactly matches the one provided on the source host (or before the domain's state was saved). This enhanced check may also be requested when starting a new domain to ensure the virtual CPU exactly matches the one specified in the XML. - qemu: Add support to migrate using TLS Add the ability to migrate QEMU guests using TLS via a new flag VIR_MIGRATE_TLS or virsh migrate '--tls' option. Requires using at least QEMU 2.9.0 in order to work properly. - qemu: add mediated devices framework support Recent kernel version introduced new mediated device framework, so provide an initial support of this framework for libvirt, mainly by introducing a new host device type in the XML. - qemu: Add support for setting TSC frequency Setting TSC frequency is required to enable migration for domains with 'invtsc' CPU feature turned on. - Add support for block device threshold event When using thin provisioning, management tools need to resize the disk in certain cases. To avoid having them to poll disk usage this version introduces an event which will be fired when a given offset of the storage is written by the hypervisor. Together with the API it allows registering thresholds for given storage backing volumes and this event will then notify management if the threshold is exceeded. Currently only the qemu driver supports this. - bhyve: Add support for UEFI boot ROM, VNC, and USB tablet The bhyve driver now supports booting using the UEFI boot ROM, so non-FreeBSD guests that support UEFI could be booted without using an external boot loader like grub-bhyve. Video is also supported now, allowing to connect to guests via VNC and use an USB tablet as an input device. Please refer to the driver page for domain XML examples. * Improvements - qemu: Detect host CPU model by asking QEMU on x86_64 Previously, libvirt detected the host CPU model using CPUID instruction, which caused libvirt to detect a lot of CPU features that are not supported by QEMU/KVM. Asking QEMU makes sure we don't start it with unsupported features. - perf: Add more perf statistics Add support to get the count of cpu clock time, task clock time, page faults, context switches, cpu migrations, minor page faults, major page faults, alignment faults, emulation faults by applications running on the platform. - Write hyperv crash information into vm log qemu's implementation of the hyperv panic notifier now reports information about the crash from the guest os. Starting with this version, libvirt logs the information to the vm log file for possible debugging. * Bug fixes - QEMU: Use adaptive timeout for connecting to monitor When starting qemu, libvirt waits for qemu to create the monitor socket which libvirt connects to. Historically, there was sharp 30 second timeout after which the qemu process was killed. This approach is suboptimal as in some scenarios with huge amounts of guest RAM it can take a minute or more for kernel to allocate and zero out pages for qemu. The timeout is now flexible and computed by libvirt at domain startup. - Overwrite (clear) 2 KB instead of just 512 bytes when initializing logical device - Describe the logical backend requirements better for pool-create-as Thanks everybody for your help with this release, be it with ideas, bug reports, patches, reviews, localization, docs ... Enjoy !

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/11] hyperv: add support for Hyper-V 2012 and newer.
by Dawid Zamirski 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Hello, The following patch series reworks the hyper-v driver structs and the code generator to provide seamless support for both Hyper-V 2008 and 2012 or newer. This does not implement any new libvirt APIs, it just adapts existing 2008-only driver to also handle 2012 and newer by sharing as much driver code as possible (currently it's all of it :-)) This is needed to set the foundation before we can move forward with implementing the rest of the driver APIs. With 2012 release, Microsoft introduced "v2" version of Msvm_* WMI classes. Those are largely the same as "v1" (used in 2008) but have some new properties as well as need different wsman request URIs. To accomodate those differences, most of work went into the code generator so that it's "aware" of possibility of multiple versions of the same WMI class and produce C code accordingly. To accomplish this the following changes were made: * hypervPrivate has now wmiVersion field so the driver can check this at runtime and take appropiate action as needed. * the abstract hypervObject struct's data member was changed to a union that has "common", "v1" and "v2" members. Those are structs that represent WMI classes that we get back from wsman response. The "common" struct has members that are present in both "v1" and "v2" which the driver API callbacks can use to read the data from in version-independent manner (if version-specific member needs to be accessed the driver can check priv->wmiVersion and read from "v1" or "v2" as needed). Those structs are guaranteed to be memory aligned by the code generator (see the _align_propert_members implementation that takes care of that) * the generator produces *_WmiInfo for each WMI class "family" that holds an array of hypervWmiClassInfoPtr each providing information as to which request URI to use for each "version" of given WMI class as well as XmlSerializerInfo struct needed to unserilize wsman responsed into the data structs. The driver uses those to make proper wsman request depending on which version it's connected to. * the generator no longer produces "helper" functions such as hypervGetMsvmComputerSystemList as those were originally just simple wrappers around hypervEnumAndPull, instead those were hand-written now (to keep driver changes minimal). The reason is that we'll have more code coming (once/if this get ACK) implementing missing libvirt APIs and surely code patterns will emerge that would warrant more useful "utility" functions like that. * a hypervInitConnection was added to the driver which "detects" hyper-v version by testing simple wsman request using v2 then falling back to v1, obviously if both fail, the we're erroring out. To express how the above translates in code: int hypervImplementSomeLibvirtApi(virConnectPtr conn, ...) { hypervPrivate *priv = conn->privateData; hypervWqlQuery wqlQuery = HYPERV_WQL_QUERY_INITIALIZER; Msvm_ComputerSystem *list = NULL; /* typed hypervObject instance */ /* the WmiInfo struct has the data needed for wsman request and * response handling for both v1 and v2 */ wqlQuery.info = Msvm_ComputerSystem_WmiInfo; wqlQuery.query = "select * from Msvm_ComputerSystem"; if (hypervEnumAndPull(priv, &query, (hypervObject **) &list) < 0) { goto cleanup; } if (list == NULL) { /* none found */ goto cleanup; } /* works with v1 and v2 */ char *vmName = list->data.common->Name; /* access property that is in v2 only */ if (priv->wmiVersion == HYPERV_WMI_VERSION_V2) char *foo = list->data.v2->V2Property; else char *foo = list->data.v1->V1Property; } Dawid Zamirski (11): hyperv: fixed typo in function name. hyperv: store WMI version in hypervPrivate. hyperv: introduce hypervWmiClassInfo struct. hyperv: update hypervObject struct. hyperv: add hypervWqlQuery struct. hyperv: make hypervEnumAndPull use hypervWqlQuery hyperv: update generator input file. hyperv: update wmi code generator. hyperv: add helper for getting WMI class lists. hyperv: port rest of the driver to new stucts. hyperv: add hypervInitConnection. src/Makefile.am | 2 - src/hyperv/hyperv_driver.c | 168 ++++++++------ src/hyperv/hyperv_private.h | 8 +- src/hyperv/hyperv_wmi.c | 179 +++++++++++---- src/hyperv/hyperv_wmi.h | 58 ++++- src/hyperv/hyperv_wmi_classes.h | 30 +++ src/hyperv/hyperv_wmi_generator.input | 239 +++++++++++++++++--- src/hyperv/hyperv_wmi_generator.py | 409 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 8 files changed, 809 insertions(+), 284 deletions(-) mode change 100755 => 100644 src/hyperv/hyperv_wmi_generator.py -- 2.9.3

[libvirt] [PATCH] Give other software a fair chance
by Michal Privoznik 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Libvirt's so good, so solid that it almost feels like other software stand no chance. Other applications are buggy, unstable, crashing, etc. But not libvirt. Therefore, it seems only fair that we introduce some bugs so developers of the other applications don't feel that bad.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] Deprecate obsolete architectures
by Andrea Bolognani 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

libvirt supports way too many architectures, including a bunch which are no longer relevant these days. As a result, developers spend a lot of their time focusing on bugs and features that only affect legacy architectures such as x86 rather than on improving support for reasonable, modern architectures such as ppc64 and aarch64. This series starts deprecating obsolete architectures so we can drop support for them and retarget our efforts down the line. The initial list of deprecated architectures is fairly conservative, only including those which are clearly obsolete such as x86; on the other hand, dropping just those would already allow us to get rid of a lot of complex and probably fairly buggy code, so I think it's a good first step. I'd suggest dropping the support for architectures we're deprecating with this series completely with version 4.0.0, due on January of next year, but I could be persuaded to proceed earlier.
