a1a84477cf vmm: openapi: Fix integer schema formats
The current OpenAPI schema format is wrong because uint16 and uint32 are
not valid top-level OpenAPI types. Describe queue_size and virtio_id as
integer types with explicit uint formats instead.

b452440f6c virtio-devices: Implement virtio-device rtc
This change will allow us to get accurate time over ptp in guests
started from a MSHV-virtualized Linux host. Implementing it as a
virtio device is preferable to using the existing kvm_ptp because:

kvm_ptp relies on hypercalls that only exist on host kernels running
kvm. Virtio-rtc gives us more flexibility in what clock types we want
to provide. We can later extend the device to implement multiple clocks
(smeared UTC, TAI, monotonic, etc.). Virtio-rtc protocol supports
alarms. Alarms may later enable usecases where the guests can do their
own VM lifecycle management without relying on a host-side
orchestrator.

Implement device backend for virtio-rtc. Currently this implementation
encompasses:

1. CONFIG, CAP, READ, CROSSCAP (returns false)
2. One PTP clock is presented of type
VIRTIO_RTC_CLOCK_UTC_MAYBE_SMEARED with leap_second_smearing
VIRTIO_RTC_SMEAR_UNSPECIFIED

The device is disabled by default, requiring --rtc to be passed

Not implemented but theoretically supported by virtio-rtc is:

1. Cross-timestamping support
2. The alarm queue

Fixes #7730

5080d03714 vmm: openapi: Fix typo in iommu_address_width field name
The JSON parser expects the field to be named
`iommu_address_width_bits`, but the code declared it as
`iommu_address_width`. This mismatch caused the field to be
unrecognized when deserializing configuration from JSON.

Rename the field to `iommu_address_width_bits` to match the
expected schema.

Allow VFIO devices to list BAR indices that should not be
mmapped into the guest. This lets operators skip large BARs that
are known not to be used by their workload.

When a BAR is skipped, the log also calls out that P2P DMA
mapping is skipped because the VFIO DMA map path uses the same

87992c77c1 vmm: Introduce option --platform vfio_p2p_dma=on|off
Add a user-configurable option to control whether VFIO device MMIO BAR
regions are DMA-mapped into the host IOMMU address space.

This mapping is required for peer-to-peer DMA between devices (e.g.
NVLink, RDMA NIC accessing GPU VRAM). However, iommufd on upstream
kernels does not support mapping device MMIO pages (VM_PFNMAP), causing
IOMMU_IOAS_MAP to fail with -EFAULT. Kernels with the NVIDIA PFNMAP
workaround or future kernels with DMABUF-based mapping
(IOMMU_IOAS_MAP_FILE) handle this correctly.

The option defaults to `on` to preserve existing behavior. Users on
vanilla kernels using iommufd should set `vfio_p2p_dma=off` to skip
MMIO BAR DMA mapping.

A validation check ensures that `x_nv_gpudirect_clique` (which depends
on P2P DMA) cannot be used when `vfio_p2p_dma=off`.

7c690ffec0 vmm: config: Expose disk lock granularity option
Add a per-disk lock_granularity parameter that lets users choose
between byte-range OFD locks and whole-file OFD locks:

  --disk path=/foo.img,lock_granularity=byte-range
  --disk path=/bar.img,lock_granularity=full

Byte-range is the default and matches QEMU behavior, working
best with storage backends where whole-file OFD locks are treated
as mandatory. The full option restores the original whole-file
locking for environments that depend on it.

The LockGranularityChoice enum and its FromStr impl live in the
block crate alongside the existing LockGranularity type. The
Block device converts the user-facing choice to the internal
LockGranularity at lock time, keeping device_manager.rs simple.

3f800d2bb4 vmm: Add core scheduling support for vCPU threads
Add a core_scheduling option to --cpus with three modes of operation.
This feature takes advantage of a kernel feature that restricts
scheduling of processes on the SMT threads on the same core. This is
useful for mitigating certain classes of side-channel attacks and has
better performance that disabling SMT on the CPU.

- vm (default): All vCPU threads share one core scheduling cookie.
  They may be co-scheduled on SMT siblings while host threads are
  excluded - this has minimal performance impact and can even
  potentially improve performance from co-location.
- vcpu: Each vCPU gets a unique cookie preventing any two vCPUs from
  sharing SMT siblings. This has the strongest isolation but at some
  compromise of performance.
- off: No core scheduling applied (old behaviour).

This isolation is done by the kernel maintaining a "cookie" - threads
with the same cookie can share the same core.

In vCPU mode each vCPU thread the cookie is created when the thread
starts and each gets a unique cookie. For VM mode the first vCPU thread
(the leader) will create the cookie. All other vCPU threads started (via
hotplug or during boot) will have that cookie shared to it.

EINVAL/ENODEV from prctl is silently ignored so this works transparently
on kernels older than 5.14 that lack PR_SCHED_CORE or when SMT disabled.

Full details of this kernel feature can be found at:
https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/hw-vuln/core-scheduling.html

This implementation was inspired by crosvm's implementation - in
particular the enable_core_scheduling() function.

This is challenging to test via integration testing but the logging of
the received cookie shows it working:

VM case:

cloud-hypervisor:   0.243102s: <vcpu1> INFO:vmm/src/cpu.rs:1247 -- vCPU 1: core scheduling cookie = 0x33e4c167
cloud-hypervisor:   0.243102s: <vcpu0> INFO:vmm/src/cpu.rs:1247 -- vCPU 0: core scheduling cookie = 0x33e4c167

vCPU case:

Add an image_type to DiskConfig to specify the image type. If none is
specified autodetect the image type but disable potentially unsafe
behaviour in the QCOW2 backend by disabling the backing file support.

If the image type is autodetected then fix it in the config so that it
will be persistant across reboots and migrations/snapshot & restores.
This also handles the case where the image type was not specified as
part of the disk configuration.

dce82a34d0 net_util: add support for IPv6 addresses on tap interfaces
Allow tap interfaces to be configured with an IPv6 address. The change
is fairly straightforward: we need to update the API types and CLI
parsing to accept either an IPv6 or IPv4 and then match on the IP
address type when the tap device is configured.

For IPv6 addresses, the netmask (prefix) must be provided at the same
time as the address itself (in the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl). They cannot be
configured separately. So we remove the separate "set_netmask" function
and convert "set_ip_addr" to also accept a netmask. For IPv4 addresses,
the IP address and netmask were already always set together, so this
should have no functional impact for users of IPv4 addresses.

e50a641126 devices: add debug-console device
This commit adds the debug-console (or debugcon) device to CHV. It is a
very simple device on I/O port 0xe9 supported by QEMU and BOCHS. It is
meant for printing information as easy as possible, without any
necessary configuration from the guest at all.

It is primarily interesting to OS/kernel and firmware developers as they
can produce output as soon as the guest starts without any configuration
of a serial device or similar. Furthermore, a kernel hacker might use
this device for information of type B whereas information of type A are
printed to the serial device.

This device is not used by default by Linux, Windows, or any other
"real" OS, but only by toy kernels and during firmware development.

In the CLI, it can be configured similar to --console or --serial with
the --debug-console parameter.

c297d8d796 vmm: use RateLimiterGroup for virtio-blk devices
Add a 'rate_limit_groups' field to VmConfig that defines a set of
named RateLimiterGroups.

When the 'rate_limit_group' field of DiskConfig is defined, all
virtio-blk queues will be rate-limited by a shared RateLimiterGroup.
The lifecycle of all RateLimiterGroups is tied to the Vm.
A RateLimiterGroup may exist even if no Disks are configured to use
the RateLimiterGroup. Disks may be hot-added or hot-removed from the
RateLimiterGroup.

When the 'rate_limiter' field of DiskConfig is defined, we construct
an anonymous RateLimiterGroup whose lifecycle is tied to the Disk.
This is primarily done for api backwards compatability. Importantly,
the behavior is not the same! This implementation rate_limits the
aggregate bandwidth / iops of an individual disk rather than the
bandwidth / iops of an individual queue of a disk.

When neither the 'rate_limit_group' or the 'rate_limiter' fields of
DiskConfig is defined, the Disk is not rate-limited.
