Add support for deserializing the binary PCI/PCIe VPD format and exposing VPD resources as XML elements in a new nested capability of PCI/PCIe devices called 'vpd'. The series contains the following incremental changes: * The PCI VPD parser module, in-memory resource representation and tests; * VPD-related helpers added to the virpci module; * VPD capability support: XML serialization/deserialization from/into VPD resource data structures; * Documentation. The VPD format is specified in "I.3. VPD Definitions" in PCI specs (2.2+) and "6.28.1 VPD Format" PCIe 4.0. As section 6.28 in PCIe 4.0 notes, the PCI Local Bus and PCIe VPD formats are binary compatible and PCIe 4.0 merely started incorporating what was already present in PCI specs. Linux kernel exposes a binary blob in the VPD format via sysfs since v2.6.26 (commit 94e6108803469a37ee1e3c92dafdd1d59298602f) which requires a parser to interpret. There are usage scenarios where information such as the board serial number needs to be retrieved from PCI(e) VPD. Projects like Nova can utilize this information for cases which involve virtual interface plugging on SmartNIC DPUs but there may be other scenarios and types of information useful to retrieve from VPD. The fact that the format is binary requires proper parsing instead of substring searching hence the full parser is proposed. Likewise, checksum validation requires proper parsing as well. A usage example is present here: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/808199 The patch follows a prior discussion on the mailing list which has additional context about the use-case but a narrower proposal: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2021-May/msg00873.html https://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx/msg218165.html The new functionality is mostly contained in virpcivpd with a couple of new functions added to virpci. Additionally, the necessary XML serialization/deserialization and glue code is added to expose the VPD capability to external clients as XML. A new capability flag is added along with a new capability in order to allow for filtering of PCI devices with the VPD capability using virsh: virsh nodedev-list --cap vpd sudo virsh nodedev-dumpxml --device pci_dddd_bb_ss_f In this example having the root uid is required in order to access the vpd sysfs entry, therefore, the nodedev XML output will only contain the VPD capability if virsh is run as root. The capability is treated as dynamic due to the presence of read-write sections in the VPD format per PCI/PCIe specs (the idea being that read-write resource fields may potentially be altered by the DPU OS over time independently from the host OS). Unit tests cover the parser functionality (including many possible invalid cases), in-memory representation as well as XML serialization and deserialization. Manual functional testing was performed with 2 DPUs and several other NIC models which expose PCI(e) VPD. Testing have also been performed for devices that do not have VPD or those that expose a VPD capability but exhibit invalid behavior (I/O errors while reading a sysfs entry). Per the existing guidelines, the implementation relies heavily on glib for various purposes. https://libvirt.org/glib-adoption.html * v5 fixes a couple of minor typos and adds NEWS entries. * The v4 of the patch includes a number of fixes compared to v3: * Fixed the patch to correctly build against older glib (2.56.0); * Notably, glib commit 86c073dba9d82ef3f1bc3d3116b058b9b5c3b1eb (in 2.59.0) fixes g_autolist support for derivable Glib types. To make things work in 2.56.0 a workaround is conditionally applied; * virCreateAnonymousFile now uses a temporary file which is unlinked after creation instead of memfd because OpenSUSE 15.2 does not have support memfd; * Keyword resources now use GTree instead of GHashTable as the underlying data structure: * This allows for stable ordering which is important for XML2XML tests as they were failing with when GLib versions were different, resulting in a different ordering of elements; * The keyword resource iteration function was complex and got replaced by a simpler g_tree_foreach-based approach; * Added more testing: functions added to virpci are now assessed by creating a mocked vpd file under a mocked sysfs structure while the parser is still tested in virpcivpdtest file; * Refactoring: * Applied changes based on the indent tool operation with some post-processing; * Renamed functions which had the Glib naming style to use camel case where possible. Auto-generated declarations are an exception: gobject/gtype.h defines type_name##_init, type_name##_class_init, module_obj_name##_get_type functions which were left unchanged; * camelCase is now used for local variables and function parameters; * Replaced //-style comments with multi-line ones; * Split out one patch into 4 based on distinct features: * PCI VPD parser functionality and the respective in-memory types; * VPD helpers in virpci; * XML serialization/deserialization and VPD capability support; * Documentation.
