vm/qubesvm: default to PVH unless PCI devices are assigned
vm/qubesvm: expose 'start_time' property over Admin API
vm/qubesvm: revert backup_timestamp to '%s' format
doc: link qvm-device man page for qvm-block, qvm-pci, qvm-usb
* qubesos/pr/179:
qmemman: request VMs balloon down with 16MB safety margin
qmemman: clear "not responding" flags when VM require more memory
qmemman: slightly improve logging
qmemman: reformat code, especially comments
Human readable format `str(datetime.datetime)` is a nightmare for Admin
API level communication. Especially setting the property in a format
that it was read was not supported, and handling such format in
untrusted input handling code is a bad idea. Revert to a simple intiger
format.
It looks like Linux balloon driver do not always precisely respect
requested target memory, but perform some rounding. Also, in some cases
(HVM domains), VM do not see all the memory that Xen have assigned to it
- there are some additional Xen pools for internal usage.
Include 16MB safety margin in memory requests to account for those two
things. This will avoid setting "no_response" flag for most of VMs.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3265
Clear slow_memset_react/no_progress flags when VM request more memory
than it have assigned. If there is some available, it may be given to
such VM, solving the original problem (not reacting to balloon down
request). In any case, qmemman algorithm should not try to take away
memory from under-provisioned VM.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3265
Add logging more info about each domain state:
- last requested target
- no_progress and slow_memset_react flags
This makes it unnecessary to log separately when those flags are cleared.
When creating a new VM of type DispVM without specifying any template
(e.g. "qvm-create --class DispVM --label red foo"), use default_dispvm.
Otherwise it would fail saying "Got empty response from qubesd."
Load integration tests from outside of core-admin repository, through
entry points.
Create wrapper for VM object to keep very basic compatibility with tests
written for core2. This means if test use only basic functionality
(vm.start(), vm.run()), the same test will work for both core2 and
core3. This is especially important for app-* repositories, where the
same version serves multiple Qubes branches.
This also hides asyncio usage from tests writer.
See QubesOS/qubes-issues#1800 for details on original feature.
Test base functions of dom0 module (creating VM, setting property) and
configuring system inside of VM (through DispVM). The later is done for
each available template (the process use salt installed in that
template, not copied from dom0).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3316
When dom0 do not provide the kernel, it should also not set kernel
command line in libvirt config. Otherwise qemu in stubdom fails to start
because it get -append option without -kernel, which is illegal
configuration.

There may be cases when VM providing the network to other VMs is started
later - for example VM restart. While this is rare case (and currently
broken because of QubesOS/qubes-issues#1426), do not assume it will
always be the case.
Add property for IPv6 address ('ip6'). Build default value similarly to
IPv4 - common prefix + QID or Disp ID (for DispVMs).
This all is disabled unless 'ipv6' feature is enabled. It is inherited
from netvm (not template).
Even when enabled, VM may decide to not use it - or simply not support
it.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#718
Allow using default feature value from netvm, not template. This makes
sense for network-related features like using tor, supporting ipv6 etc.
Similarly to check_with_template, expose it also on Admin API.
Having both default_netvm and default_fw_netvm cause a lot of confusion,
because it isn't clear for the user which one is used when. Additionally
changing provides_network property may also change netvm property, which
may be unintended effect. This as a whole make it hard to:
- cover all netvm-changing actions with policy for Admin API
- cover all netvm-changing events (for example to apply the change to
the running VM, or to check for netvm loops)
As suggested by @qubesuser, kill the default_fw_netvm property and
simplify the logic around it.
Since we're past rc1, implement also migration logic. And add tests for
said migration.
