Currently we are pretty strict about what emulator binary we allow for
QEMU guests on x86 arches. In particular, for arch+domain type combos:
- i686+qemu must use 'qemu' binary
- x86_64+qemu must use 'qemu-system-x86_64' binary
- kvm must use 'qemu-kvm' or 'kvm' binaries
- i686+kvm on x86_64 host is not allowed
These restrictions are overkill because
- i686+qemu could use 'qemu-system-x86_64' if '-cpu qemu32' is added
- i686+qemu could use 'qemu-kvm' if '-cpu qemu32 -no-kvm' is added
- x86_64+qemu could use 'qemu-kvm' if '-no-kvm' is added
- i686+kvm on x86_64 host can be used if '-cpu qemu32' is added
This patch makes QEMU driver more flexible in this way when setting up
its capabilities information. It also makes it aware of the -no-kvm
and -cpu flag, using them where required by the os type + arch + emulator
combinations specified in the guest XML.
This should finally remove the confusion where a user in virt-manager
selectrs 'i686' and then wonders why we've disallowed choice of 'kvm'.
It also fixes 'virsh version' when only qemu-kvm is installed.
The matrix should now work thus:
1. qemu, qemu-system-x86_64, qemu-kvm all available
qemu+i686 => qemu
qemu+x86_64 => qemu-system-x86_64
kvm+i686 => qemu-kvm -cpu qemu32
kvm+x86_64 => qemu-kvm
2. qemu, qemu-kvm available
qemu+i686 => qemu
qemu+x86_64 => qemu-kvm -no-kvm
kvm+i686 => qemu-kvm -cpu qemu32
kvm+x86_64 => qemu-kvm
3. qemu-system-x86_64, qemu-kvm available
qemu+i686 => qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu qemu32
qemu+x86_64 => qemu-system-x86_64
kvm+i686 => qemu-kvm -cpu qemu32
kvm+x86_64 => qemu-kvm
4. qemu-kvm available
qemu+i686 => qemu-kvm -no-kvm -cpu qemu32
qemu+x86_64 => qemu-kvm -no-kvm
kvm+i686 => qemu-kvm -cpu qemu32
kvm+x86_64 => qemu-kvm
The only real remaining problem is that we don't cope with scenario
where the KVM enabled binary is called 'qemu-system-x64_64' instead
of 'qemu-kvm' or 'kvm'.
Regards,
Daniel
