[PATCH v2] cpu_ppc64: compare CPU function is ignoring return value
by Julio Faracco 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Function to compare CPU on 64-bits PowerPC is ignoring the flag to avoid failure in case of CPUs (host and guest) are incompatible. Basically, the function is returning -1 even if it is set to continue.

Hyper-V CPU details
by Matt Coleman 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Hello, I'm implementing domainGetVcpus and could use some guidance on what value to use for virVcpuInfo->cpu. Hyper-V does not allow the user to pin vCPUs to host CPUs and doesn't allow the user to see which host CPU a vCPU is currently running on. Since it's a type 1 hypervisor, none of its scheduling data is available to the Windows userspace: there aren't any processes or threads that correspond to vCPUs that I could query the OS scheduler about. My code currently sets it to -1, which produces the following `virsh vcpuinfo` output for a running VM with two cores: VCPU: 0 CPU: -1 State: running CPU time: 1684.5s CPU Affinity: yyyy VCPU: 1 CPU: -1 State: running CPU time: 1346.0s CPU Affinity: yyyy However, this doesn't match the comment in _virVcpuInfo's declaration, which says that -1 signifies an offline CPU: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/v6.8.0/include/libvirt/libvirt-do… Should I stick with -1? Or, should I introduce -2 as a value that indicates that the hypervisor doesn't provide that information? Or, is there some better way to handle this that I'm not aware of? -- Matt

This hopefully makes synchronization with QEMU faster and less error prone. Patch #3 showcases the changes to the cpu models the script suggests for qemu 8d90bfc5c31ad60f6049dd39be636b06bc00b652.

[PATCH] security: Use org namespace for xattrs on macOS

There're no guidelines on what namespace should be used but it seems thirdparty apps can select the one they like [1], i.e. freedekstop xattrs are prefixed with xdg. qemusecuritytest passes after that. 1. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CommonExtendedAttributes/ Signed-off-by: Roman Bolshakov <r.bolshakov(a)yadro.com> --- src/security/security_util.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/security/security_util.c b/src/security/security_util.c index 7fa5163fe4..5d50acb574 100644 --- a/src/security/security_util.c +++ b/src/security/security_util.c @@ -56,6 +56,8 @@ VIR_LOG_INIT("security.security_util"); # define XATTR_NAMESPACE "trusted" #elif defined(__FreeBSD__) # define XATTR_NAMESPACE "system" +#elif defined(__APPLE__) +# define XATTR_NAMESPACE "org" #endif static char * -- 2.28.0

Call for Volunteers: Summaries of a few KVMForum-2020 talks for an LWN article
by Kashyap Chamarthy 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Hi, folks Like last year[1], we're aiming to submit a KVM Forum 2020 "recap" article for LWN. This won't be a comprehensive summary of a lot of talks — LWN normally aims for 1500 words; they say "fewer can sometimes work, and more is generally OK too". Given that, the write-up can cover about four topics, similar to previous year's recap. So I'm looking for a couple of volunteers. Meanwhile, I'll write LWN folks an email to see if they're amenable to this. If they can't accept it for some reason, Plan-B is qemu.org blog articles. - KVM Forum 2020 schedule: https://kvmforum2020.sched.com/ - And LWN.net's author guidelines: https://lwn.net/op/AuthorGuide.lwn I volunteer to summarize Janosch Frank's "The Common Challenges of Secure VMs" talk. Let me know, on-list or off-list, on what topic you'd like to pick. PS: Just like it was noted in the last year's call for volunteers, we will not ask LWN.net for money.

[PATCH 0/3] qemu: Prevent breakage of libvirt-6.9.0 with qemu-5.2.0
by Peter Krempa 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Justification from 1/3: Unfortunately qemu wants to change the interface of 'block-export-add' before the release. Since we've tried to stay up to date and added the code before it was written in stone, we need to disable the use of the new interface for the upcoming libvirt release so that we don't have a version of libvirt which would not work with the upcoming qemu version. Patch 2/3 is the fix itself which uses the new interface. Patch 1/3 and 3/3 are a plan-B option if qemu doesn't include the fix until libvirt-6.9.0 will be about to be released. In such case I'll push patch 1/3 and patches 2-3/3 will be left for a subsequent release.

Proposal: drop support for Hyper-V 2008R2
by Matt Coleman 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Hello, I've been getting familiar with Hyper-V recently and have gotten stymied by inconsistencies in its API. While Hyper-V has V1 and V2 APIs, neither one is consistent between Windows versions. For example... * Windows 2012 only supports a subset of the V2 API * Windows 2012 implements some V1 functions differently than 2008R2 * Windows 2016 broke compatibility with 2012R2 by replacing some classes Some of these differences are undocumented, too, which is just lovely. Most of these changes are relatively easy to handle, but the differences between 2008R2's and 2012's implementations of the V1 API result in libvirt code with a lot of conditionals containing obscure format strings in the 2008R2 blocks. Windows 2008R2's extended support ended January 14, 2020: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2008-r2 Windows 2012's mainstream support ended in 2018, but it still has extended support through October 10, 2023: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2012 Since 2008R2 is no longer supported by Microsoft, I propose removing support for it from libvirt. Thoughts? -- Matt
