Hypervisor.framework provides a lightweight interface to run a virtual cpu on macOS without the need to install third-party kernel extensions (KEXTs). It's supported since macOS 10.10 on machines with Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. QEMU supports Hypervisor.framework since 2.12. The patch series adds "hvf" domain that uses Hypevisor.framework. v1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-October/msg01090.html Changes since v1: - [x] Fixed unconditional addition of KVM CPU models into capabilities cache. That fixed a "make check" issue in qemucapabilitiestest on Linux. - [x] Fixed missing brace in virQEMUCapsFormatCPUModels in PATCH 6 - [x] Squashed patch 12 into the first patch (second one in the patch series) - [x] Added hvf domain definition to docs/formatdomain.html.in into the first patch (second in the patch series) - [x] Removed redundant argument in virQEMUCapsProbeHVF (patch 3) - [x] Added separate virQEMUCapsProbeHVF for non-apple platforms (patch 3) - [x] Added macOS support page - [x] Marked HVF support for all working domain elements I wasn't able to resolve the issues below, but I think they should go into separate patches/patch series: - [ ] To make qemucapabilitiestests work regardless of OS, accelerator probing should be done via QMP command. So, there's a need to add a new generic command to QEMU "query-accelerator accel=NAME" - [ ] VIRT_TEST_PRELOAD doesn't work on macOS. There are a few reasons: * DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES should be used instead of LD_PRELOAD * -module flag shouldn't be added to LDFLAGS in tests/Makefile.am. The flag instructs libtool to creates bundles (MH_BUNDLE) instead of dynamic libraries (MH_DYLIB) and unlike dylibs they cannot be preloaded. * Either symbol interposing or flat namespaces should be used to perform overrides of the calls to the mocks. I've tried both but neither worked for me, need to make a minimal example. I haven't completed the investigation as it looks like a separate work item. - [ ] Can't retrieve qemucapsprobe replies for macOS because qemucapsprobemock is not getting injected because of the issue with VIRT_TEST_PRELOAD - [ ] Can't add to tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c to illustrate the hvf example because qemucapsprobe doesn't work yet.
