Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/8] CPU Model Baseline and Comparison for s390x

Changelog: v2 - numerous cleanups - removed "policy fix function" and now properly check for policy == -1 in the CPUDef -> JSON parser - resolved some memory leaks - added string arg to qemuMonitorJSONParseCPUModelData for error message to print out proper command name v1 - introduce baseline - split patches into small chunks - free'd lingering qemuMonitorCPUModelInfo pointer - when converting from virCPUDef -> virJSON, consider feature policy FORCED for enabled ___ To run these patches, execute the virsh hypervisor-cpu-compare or hypervisor-cpu-baseline commands and pass an XML file describing one or more CPU definition. You can use the definition from virsh domcapabilities or from a guest XML. There is no need extract it from the file and place it a new one, as the XML parser will look specifically for the CPU tags. ___ These patches hookup the virsh hypervisor-cpu-compare/baseline commands for the s390x architecture. They take an XML file describing some CPU definitions and passes the data to QEMU, where the actual CPU model comparison / baseline calculation is handled (available since QEMU 2.8.5). These calculations are compared against / baselined with the hypervisor CPU model, which can be observed via the virsh domcapabilities command for s390x. When baselining CPU models and the user appends the --features argument to the command, s390x will only report back features that supersede the base model definition. **NOTE** if the --features flag is intended to expand ALL features available to a CPU model (such as the huge list of features reported by a full CPU model expansion), please let me know and I can resolve this. The first patch pulls some code out of the CPU Model Expansion JSON function so that it can be later used for the Comparison and Baseline JSON functions. The rest of the patches follow this sequence: - introduce JSON monitor functions - introduce capability and update test files - hook up monitor functions to virsh command Patch 7 pulls out some code from the CPUDef XML parser to be reused in the comparison hookup.
