Added support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO (v3.5 onwards) storage pool as a primary storage in CloudStack (for KVM hypervisor) and enabled VM/Volume operations on that pool (using pool tag).
Please find more details in the FS here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/cDl4CQ
Documentation PR: apache/cloudstack-documentation#169
This enables support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO (v3.5 onwards) storage pool as a primary storage in CloudStack
Other improvements addressed in addition to PowerFlex/ScaleIO support:
- Added support for config drives in host cache for KVM
=> Changed configuration "vm.configdrive.primarypool.enabled" scope from Global to Zone level
=> Introduced new zone level configuration "vm.configdrive.force.host.cache.use" (default: false) to force host cache for config drives
=> Introduced new zone level configuration "vm.configdrive.use.host.cache.on.unsupported.pool" (default: true) to use host cache for config drives when storage pool doesn't support config drive
=> Added new parameter "host.cache.location" (default: /var/cache/cloud) in KVM agent.properties for specifying the host cache path and create config drives on the "/config" directory on the host cache path
=> Maintain the config drive location and use it when required on any config drive operation (migrate, delete)
- Detect virtual size from the template URL while registering direct download qcow2 (of KVM hypervisor) templates
- Updated full deployment destination for preparing the network(s) on VM start
- Propagate the direct download certificates uploaded to the newly added KVM hosts
- Discover the template size for direct download templates using any available host from the zones specified on template registration
=> When zones are not specified while registering template, template size discovery is performed using any available host, which is picked up randomly from one of the available zones
- Release the VM resources when VM is sync-ed to Stopped state on PowerReportMissing (after graceful period)
- Retry VM deployment/start when the host cannot grant access to volume/template
- Mark never-used or downloaded templates as Destroyed on deletion, without sending any DeleteCommand
=> Do not trigger any DeleteCommand for never-used or downloaded templates as these doesn't exist and cannot be deleted from the datastore
- Check the router filesystem is writable or not, before performing health checks
=> Introduce a new test "filesystem.writable.test" to check the filesystem is writable or not
=> The router health checks keeps the config info at "/var/cache/cloud" and updates the monitor results at "/root" for health checks, both are different partitions. So, test at both the locations.
=> Added new script: "filesystem_writable_check.py" at /opt/cloud/bin/ to check the filesystem is writable or not
- Fixed NPE issue, template is null for DATA disks. Copy template to target storage for ROOT disk (with template id), skip DATA disk(s)
* Addressed some issues for few operations on PowerFlex storage pool.
- Updated migration volume operation to sync the status and wait for migration to complete.
- Updated VM Snapshot naming, for uniqueness in ScaleIO volume name when more than one volume exists in the VM.
- Added sync lock while spooling managed storage template before volume creation from the template (non-direct download).
- Updated resize volume error message string.
- Blocked the below operations on PowerFlex storage pool:
-> Extract Volume
-> Create Snapshot for VMSnapshot
* Added the PowerFlex/ScaleIO client connection pool to manage the ScaleIO gateway clients, which uses a single gateway client per Powerflex/ScaleIO storage pool and renews it when the session token expires.
- The token is valid for 8 hours from the time it was created, unless there has been no activity for 10 minutes.

Other fixes included:
- Fail the VM deployment when the host specified in the deployVirtualMachine cmd is not in the right state (i.e. either Resource State is not Enabled or Status is not Up)
- Use the physical file size of the template to check the free space availability on the host, while downloading the direct download templates.
- Perform basic tests (for connectivity and file system) on router before updating the health check config data
=> Validate the basic tests (connectivity and file system check) on router
=> Cleanup the health check results when router is destroyed
* Updated PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage plugin version to 4.16.0.0
* UI Changes to support storage plugin for PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage pool.
- PowerFlex pool URL generated from the UI inputs(Gateway, Username, Password, Storage Pool) when adding "PowerFlex" Primary Storage
- Updated protocol to "custom" for PowerFlex provider
- Allow VM Snapshot for stopped VM on KVM hypervisor and PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage pool
and Minor improvements in PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage plugin code
* Added support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume migration across different PowerFlex storage instances.
- findStoragePoolsForMigration API returns PowerFlex pool(s) of different instance as suitable pool(s), for volume(s) on PowerFlex storage pool.
- Volume(s) with snapshots are not allowed to migrate to different PowerFlex instance.
- Volume(s) of running VM are not allowed to migrate to other PowerFlex storage pools.
- Volume migration from PowerFlex pool to Non-PowerFlex pool, and vice versa are not supported.
* Fixed change service offering smoke tests in test_service_offerings.py, test_vm_snapshots.py
* Added the PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume/snapshot name to the paths of respective CloudStack resources (Templates, Volumes, Snapshots and VM Snapshots)
* Added new response parameter “supportsStorageSnapshot” (true/false) to volume response, and Updated UI to hide the async backup option while taking snapshot for volume(s) with storage snapshot support.
* Fix to remove the duplicate zone wide pools listed while finding storage pools for migration
* Updated PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume migration checks and rollback migration on failure
* Fixed the PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume name inconsistency issue in the volume path after migration, due to rename failure

KVM is supported on arm64 Linux (https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Processor_support#ARM:).
For a small (IoT) platform such as the new Raspberry Pi 4 that uses armv8 processor
(cortex-a72) it's possible to run Linux host with `/dev/kvm`
accleration. This adds support for IoT IaaS in CloudStack.
This PR is from a fun weekend project where:
- I set up a Raspberry Pi 4 - 4GB RAM model with 4 CPU cores @ 1.5Ghz, 128GB SD samsung evo plus card
- Installed Ubuntu 19.10 raspi3 base image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/19.10/release/ubuntu-19.10-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz
- Build a custom Linux 5.3 kernel with KVM enabled, deb here: http://dl.rohityadav.cloud/cloudstack-rpi/kernel-19.10/ and install the linux-image and linux-module
- Then install/setup CloudStack on it (fix some issues around jna, by manually installing newer libjna-java to /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/lib)
- Since the host processor is not x86_64, I had to build a new arm64 (or aarch64) systemvmtemplate: http://dl.rohityadav.cloud/cloudstack-rpi/systemvmtemplate/
I could finally get a 4.13 CloudStack + Adv zone/networking to run on it
and deployed a KVM based Ubuntu 19.10 environment and NFS storage.
Deployed a test vm with isolated network, VR works as expected. Console
proxy works as well, for this tested against arm64 openstack Debian 9/10
templates.
I raised the issue of enabling KVM in upstream Ubuntu arm64 build: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi2/+bug/1783961
Ubuntu kernel team has come back and future arm64 releases may have
KVM enabled by default.
Limitation: on my aarch64 env, it did not support IDE, therefore all
default bus type for volumes are SCSI by default. With VIRTIO it fails
sometimes.

The new CA framework introduced basic support for comma-separated
list of management servers for agent, which makes an external LB
unnecessary.
This extends that feature to implement LB sorting algorithms that
sorts the management server list before they are sent to the agents.
This adds a central intelligence in the management server and adds
additional enhancements to Agent class to be algorithm aware and
have a background mechanism to check/fallback to preferred management
server (assumed as the first in the list). This is support for any
indirect agent such as the KVM, CPVM and SSVM agent, and would
provide support for management server host migration during upgrade
(when instead of in-place, new hosts are used to setup new mgmt server).
This FR introduces two new global settings:
- `indirect.agent.lb.algorithm`: The algorithm for the indirect agent LB.
- `indirect.agent.lb.check.interval`: The preferred host check interval
for the agent's background task that checks and switches to agent's
preferred host.
The indirect.agent.lb.algorithm supports following algorithm options:
- static: use the list as provided.
- roundrobin: evenly spreads hosts across management servers based on
host's id.
- shuffle: (pseudo) randomly sorts the list (not recommended for production).
Any changes to the global settings - `indirect.agent.lb.algorithm` and
`host` does not require restarting of the mangement server(s) and the
agents. A message bus based system dynamically reacts to change in these
global settings and propagates them to all connected agents.
Comma-separated management server list is propagated to agents on
following cases:
- Addition of a host (including ssvm, cpvm systevms).
- Connection or reconnection by the agents to a management server.
- After admin changes the 'host' and/or the
'indirect.agent.lb.algorithm' global settings.
On the agent side, the 'host' setting is saved in its properties file as:
`host=<comma separated addresses>@<algorithm name>`.
First the agent connects to the management server and sends its current
management server list, which is compared by the management server and
in case of failure a new/update list is sent for the agent to persist.
From the agent's perspective, the first address in the propagated list
will be considered the preferred host. A new background task can be
activated by configuring the `indirect.agent.lb.check.interval` which is
a cluster level global setting from CloudStack and admins can also
override this by configuring the 'host.lb.check.interval' in the
`agent.properties` file.
Every time agent gets a ms-host list and the algorithm, the host specific
background check interval is also sent and it dynamically reconfigures
the background task without need to restart agents.
Note: The 'static' and 'roundrobin' algorithms, strictly checks for the
order as expected by them, however, the 'shuffle' algorithm just checks
for content and not the order of the comma separate ms host addresses.

Commit enables a new feature for KVM hypervisor which purpose is to increase virtually amount of RAM available beyond the actual limit.
There is a new parameter in agent.properties: host.overcommit.mem.mb which enables adding specified amount of RAM to actually available. It is necessary to utilize KSM and ZSwap features which extend RAM with deduplication and compression.
The watchdog timer adds functionality where the Hypervisor can detect if an
instance has crashed or stopped functioning.
The watchdog timer adds functionality where the Hypervisor can detect if an

When the Instance has the 'watchdog' daemon running it will send heartbeats
to the /dev/watchdog device.
If these heartbeats are no longer received by the HV it will reset the Instance.
If the Instance never sends the heartbeats the HV does not take action. It only
takes action if it stops sending heartbeats.
This is supported since Libvirt 0.7.3 and can be defined in the XML format as
described in the docs: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsWatchdog
To the 'devices' section this will be added:
In the agent.properties the action to be taken can be defined:
vm.watchdog.action=reset
The same goes for the model. The Intel i6300esb is however the most commonly used.
vm.watchdog.model=i6300esb

This commit adds a additional VirtIO channel with the name
'org.qemu.guest_agent.0' to all Instances.
With the Qemu Guest Agent the Hypervisor gains more control over the Instance if
these tools are present inside the Instance, for example:
* Power control
* Flushing filesystems
* Fetching Network information
In the future this should allow safer snapshots on KVM since we can instruct the
Instance to flush the filesystems prior to snapshotting the disk.
More information: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/QAPI/GuestAgent
Keep in mind that on Ubuntu AppArmor still needs to be disabled since the default
AppArmor profile doesn't allow libvirt to write into /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
This commit does not add any communication methods through API-calls, it merely
adds the channel to the Instances and installs the Guest Agent in the SSVMs.
With the addition of the Qemu Guest Agent channel a second channel appears in /dev
on a SSVM as a VirtIO port.
The order in which the ports are defined in the XML matters for the naming inside
the SSVM VM and by not relying on /dev/vportXX but looking for a static name the
SSVM still boots properly if the order in the XML definition is changed.
A SSVM with both ports attached will have something like this:
root@v-215-VM:~# ls -l /dev/virtio-ports
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 13 21:41 org.qemu.guest_agent.0 -> ../vport0p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 13 21:41 v-215-VM.vport -> ../vport0p1
root@v-215-VM:~# ls -l /dev/vport*
crw------- 1 root root 251, 1 May 13 21:41 /dev/vport0p1
crw------- 1 root root 251, 2 May 13 21:41 /dev/vport0p2
root@v-215-VM:~#
In this case the SSVM port points to /dev/vport0p1, but if the order in the XML
is different it might point to /dev/vport0p2
By looking for a portname with a pre-defined pattern in /dev/virtio-ports we
do not rely on the order in the XML definition.

By adding a Random Number Generator device to Instances we can prevent
entropy starvation inside guest.
The default source is /dev/random on the host, but this can be configured
to another source when present, for example a hardware RNG.
When enabled it will add the following to the Instance's XML definition:
<rng model='virtio'>
<rate period='1000' bytes='2048' />
<backend model='random'>/dev/random</backend>
</rng>
If the Instance has the proper support, which most modern distributions have,
it will have a /dev/hwrng device which it can use for gathering entropy.

Implements a VM volume/disk file activity checker that checks if QCOW2 file
has been changed before starting the VM. This is useful as a pessimistic
approach to save VMs that were running on faulty hosts that CloudStack could
try to launch on other hosts while the host was not cleanly fenced. This is
optional and available only if you enable the settings in agent.properties
file, on per-host basis.
