[libvirt] [PATCH v5] util: Set SIGPIPE to a no-op handler in virFork
by Wang Yechao
Libvirtd has set SIGPIPE to ignored, and virFork resets all signal
handlers to the defaults. But child process may write logs to
stderr/stdout, that may generate SIGPIPE if journald has stopped.
So set SIGPIPE to a dummy no-op handler before unmask signals in
virFork. And there is no need to set SIGPIPE ignored before running
hooks in virExec. At last, set SIGPIPE to defaults before execve.

v3 patch:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-October/msg00934.html
Changes in v4:
- don't block SIGPIPE, ignore it when invoke VIR_FORCE_CLOSE and virCommandMassClose
Changes in v5:
- chang from SIG_IGN to a no-op handler in child process

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/11] qemu: Add support for ARM CPU features
by Andrea Bolognani
Starting with QEMU 4.2.0, ARM guests support CPU features similarly
to what's been the case on x86 since forever; notably, it's now
possible to enable SVE (Scalable Vector Extension).

unabridged version can be obtained with
$ git fetch https://gitlab.com/abologna/libvirt.git sve

[libvirt] [PATCH RFC 00/11] qemu: Introduce support for ARM CPU features
by Andrea Bolognani
This series is RFC because the corresponding QEMU patches[1] have
not been merged yet, and since QEMU is currently in the middle of
the 4.1.0 freeze we can't really expect to merge them until 5.7.0
anyway.
With that in mind, a few patches are somewhat independent of the
rest and could, after some minor tweaking, could go in even right
now: 1/11 is really a no brainer, and 3/11 - 5/11 are also fairly
reasonable candidates for that treatment.

[libvirt] Availability of libvirt 5.9.0
by Daniel Veillard
With a bit of delay I finally made the release today, it's available
as signed tarball and source rpms from the usual place:
https://libvirt.org/sources/
I also pushed a python release which is virtually identical to 5.8.0 one
but you can find it at
https://libvirt.org/sources/python/
You can start to see in this release some of the long term changes which
were raised last month:
Packaging changes
- Start linking against GLib and using its features
Up until now, libvirt has been dealing with platform portability and
the lack of certain features in libc by using gnulib and implementing
its own functions and data structures respectively; going forward, it
will prefer the facilities offered by GLib instead.
- Stop distributing generated documentation
Most downstreams already patch the libvirt source to some extent, so
this change will probably not affect them.
- Rewrite several Perl scripts in Python
Phasing out Perl usage is part of the project strategy.
New features
- qemu: Introduce a new video model of type 'ramfb'
Introduce a new video model type to the domain XML that supports the
ramfb standalone device in qemu.
- qemu: Implement the ccf-assist pSeries feature
Users can now decide whether ccf-assist (Count Cache Flush Assist)
support should be available to pSeries guests.
- Xen: Support specifying ACPI firmware path
The libxl driver now supports specifying an ACPI firmware path using
the acpi element.
- qemu: Support specifying resolution for video devices
Removed features
- logging: Drop support for including stack traces
This feature was intended to aid debugging, but in practice it resulted
in logs that were too verbose to be useful and also resulted in a
significant performance penalty.
Improvements
- qemu: Implement CPU comparison/baseline on s390x
This functionality has been historically limited to x86_64, but it's
now available on s390x too.
Bug fixes
- lib: autostart objects exactly once
If libvirtd or any of the sub-daemons is started with socket activation
then objects might be autostarted more than once. For instance, if a
domain under qemu:///session URI is mark as autostarted and the session
daemon is started then the domain is started with it. If user shuts the
domain down and the session daemon is started again, the user's wish to
keep the domain shut off is ignored and the domain is autostarted
again. This is now fixed.
- qemu: Properly advertise bochs-display availability
Support for bochs-display was introduced in libvirt 5.6.0, but until
now the model was not listed in the domain capabilities.
- security: Don't remember labels for TPM devices
Due to the way they're implemented in the kernel, trying to remember
labels for TPM devices makes it impossible to use them.
- security: Properly rollback after failure in a stacked driver
When multiple security drivers are involved, failure in one of them
would result in only the corresponding changes being rolled back,
leaving the ones performed by drivers that had been activated earlier
in place. All changes are rolled back now.
- Fix build with musl libc
- Improve compatibility with non-bash shells
thanks everybody who helped with this release, next in a month !
Enjoy :-)

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/9] support use of precreated tap devices from unprivileged libvirtd
by Laine Stump
This resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1723367
It has become more popular to run libvirtd in an unprivileged
environment (e.g. inside a container), but until now the only possible
types of network connection for a qemu started by an unprivileged
libvirtd were:
1) a usermode slirp connection
2) a tap device connection to a bridge handled by running
qemu-bridge-helper (a suid-root utility distributed with qemu)
3) a host network card assigned to the guest using VFIO (this requires
special setup by a privileged process though)
This patch series remedies that by making it possible for libvirtd to
use a tap device that has been pre-created (*and* properly setup) by
some other process beforehand.
In order to use this, you must have a standard tap, or macvtap device
that has been set to be owned by the uid that will be running
libvirtd, has its MAC address already set, and has been set online
(IFF_UP). For example, here are the commands to create a standard tap
device named "mytap0", attach it to the host bridge device "br0" and
prepare it for use by a libvirtd that is running as user "laine":
ip tuntap add mode tap user laine group laine name mytap0
ip link set mytap0 up
ip link set mytap0 master br0
(You may want to set a specific MAC address for the tap device, but as
long as it *doesn't* match the MAC address used by the guest emulated
device, it really doesn't matter)
You can now add the following <interface> to a domain definition:
<interface type='ethernet'>
<model type='virtio'/>
<mac address='52:54:00:11:11:11'/>
<target dev='mytap0' managed='no'/>
</interface>
and start up the guest.
A similar set of commands to create a macvtap device named
"mymacvtap0" with MAC addres 52:54:00:11:11:11 connected to the host
device "en2" would be something like this:
ip link add link en2 name mymacvtap0 address 52:54:00:11:11:11 \
type macvtap mode bridge
ip link set mymacvtap0 up
The XML would be identical, except the name of the device
<interface type='ethernet'>
<model type='virtio'/>
<mac address='52:54:00:11:11:11'/>
<target dev='mymacvtap0' managed='no'/>
</interface>
(Note that in the case of macvtap, the precreated device must *match*
the MAC address of the emulated guest device).
If libvirtd is given a precreated device, that device will *not* be
explicitly deleted when qemu is finished with it - the caller must
take care of that.
Laine Stump (9):
util: new function virNetDevMacVLanIsMacvtap()
util: make a couple virNetDevMacVlan*() functions public
qemu: reorganize qemuInterfaceEthernetConnect()
conf: use virXMLFormatElement for interface <target>
conf: new "managed" attribute for target dev of <interface
type='ethernet'>
qemu: support unmanaged target tap dev for <interface type='ethernet'>
qemu: support unmanaged macvtap devices with <interface
type='ethernet'>
qemu: explicitly delete standard tap devices only on platforms that
require it
