[PATCH 0/4] Implement virsh hypervisor-cpu-models
by Boris Fiuczynski 18 Jan '25

18 Jan '25

Allows for the query of hypervisor-known CPU models via the simple command: virsh hypervisor-cpu-models. For the QEMU driver, the models are queried via the capabilities file. Each model is printed to the terminal on its own line similar to the cpu-models command, and there is no order to the listing. There is a related libvirt-python merge request at https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-python/-/merge_requests/159 David Judkovics (4): libvirt: Introduce virConnectGetHypervisorCPUModelNames public API remote: Implement virConnectGetHypervisorCPUModelNames qemu_driver: Implement qemuConnectGetHypervisorCPUModelNames virsh: Introduce new hypervisor-cpu-models command docs/manpages/virsh.rst | 20 ++++++++ include/libvirt/libvirt-host.h | 7 +++ src/driver-hypervisor.h | 10 ++++ src/libvirt-host.c | 65 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_public.syms | 5 ++ src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 59 +++++++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_daemon_dispatch.c | 62 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_driver.c | 52 ++++++++++++++++++++ src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 26 +++++++++- src/remote_protocol-structs | 16 +++++++ tools/virsh-host.c | 74 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 11 files changed, 395 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.47.0

[PATCH 0/3] Remove deprecated machines pc-i440fx-2.4 up to pc-i440fx-2.12
by Thomas Huth 18 Jan '25

18 Jan '25

While our new auto-disablement of old machine types will only kick in with the next (v10.1) release, the pc-i440fx-2.* machine types have been explicitly marked as deprecated via our old deprecation policy mechanism before (two releases ago), so it should be fine to remove them now already. Note that we can not do much additional clean ups on top yet since the corresponding q35 machines (which share the same compatibility knobs) are still around and only will be removed for the 10.1 release instead. So the bigger clean-up can only be done for 10.1, but removing the i440fx machine types now will still have at least a small benefit of accelerating our CI a little bit (since we don't have to run tests for these old machine types anymore).

[PATCH 0/1] Support cloning saved VMs
by Felipe Franciosi 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Hello! I have a use case which I'm struggling to support with libvirt: saving a VM to a file, cloning it (which renames the VM), and restoring it. My search revealed a number of tutorials for using virt-clone [1], but that doesn't seem to cover VMs which are _saved_ (only running or paused). [1] https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/blob/main/virtinst/virtclone.py In a nutshell, I want to power on a VM and do some setup, then save its full state to disk (e.g., with virsh save). Finally I want to modify the XML to: - rename the VM - change which bridge its NICs are on (while maintaining mac addresses) - change the disk image to a copy (done while the VM is saved) But the restore operation fails because of a target domain name check implemented in virDomainDefCheckABIStabilityFlags(). I've debated how to best address this and I'm looking for your views. I suspect this call is there for a reason (which may still be relevant), although the name is clearly not part of the ABI; it's the host identifier for that domain and not guest-visible. My first stab at this is therefore just to drop this check (patch attached). I'm open to suggestions, for example by plumbing through a flag which makes the check optional. Please let me know how you prefer that I take this forward. Thanks, F.

[PATCH] cpu_x86: Probe host CPU for all MSR features
by Jiri Denemark 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

The list of CPU features we probe from various MSR grew significantly over time and the CPU map currently mentions 11 distinct MSR indexes. But the code for directly probing host CPU features was still reading only the original 0x10a index. Thus the CPU model in host capabilities was missing a lot of features. Instead of specifying a static list of indexes to read (which we would forget to update in the future), let's just read all indexes found in the CPU map.
