* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Remove QEMU_CMD_FLAG_0_12 and just leave

The Xen code for making HVM VT-d PCI passthrough attach and detach
wasn't working properly:
1) In xenDaemonAttachDevice(), we were always trying to reconfigure
a PCI passthrough device, even the first time we added it. This was
because the code in virDomainXMLDevID() was not checking xenstore for
the existence of the device, and always returning 0 (meaning that
the device already existed).
2) In xenDaemonDetachDevice(), we were trying to use "device_destroy"
to detach a PCI device. While you would think that is the right
method to call, it's actually wrong for PCI devices. In particular,
in upstream Xen (and soon in RHEL-5 Xen), device_configure is actually
used to destroy a PCI device.
To fix the attach
problem I add a lookup into xenstore to see if the device we are
trying to attach already exists. To fix the detach problem I change
it so that for PCI detach (only), we use device_configure with the
appropriate sxpr to do the detachment.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c: don't use device_destroy for PCI devices
and fix the other issues.
* src/xen/xs_internal.c src/xen/xs_internal.h: add
xenStoreDomainGetPCIID()
The XML XPath for detecting JSON in the running VM statefile was
wrong causing all VMs to get JSON mode enabled at libvirtd restart.
In addition if a VM was running a JSON enabled QEMU once, and then
altered to point to a non-JSON enabled QEMU later the 'monJSON'
flag would not get reset to 0.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fix setting/detection of JSON mode
The code for connecting to a server tries each socket in turn
until it finds one that connects. Unfortunately for TLS sockets
if it connected, but failed TLS handshake it would treat that
as a failure to connect, and try the next socket. This is bad,
it should have reported the TLS failure immediately.
$ virsh -c qemu://somehost.com/system
error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'somehost.com': Invalid argument
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
$ ./tools/virsh -c qemu://somehost.com/system
error: server certificate failed validation: The certificate hasn't got a known issuer.
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Stop trying to connect if the
TLS handshake fails
Use a dynamically sized xdr_array to pass memory stats on the wire. This
supports the addition of future memory stats and reduces the message size
since only supported statistics are returned.
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: provide defines for the new entry point
* src/remote/remote_driver.c daemon/remote.c: implement the client and
server side
* daemon/remote_dispatch_args.h daemon/remote_dispatch_prototypes.h
daemon/remote_dispatch_ret.h daemon/remote_dispatch_table.h
src/remote/remote_protocol.c src/remote/remote_protocol.h: generated
stubs
Support for memory statistics reporting is accepted for qemu inclusion.
Statistics are reported via the monitor command 'info balloon' as a comma
seprated list:
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=1024,mem_swapped_in=0,mem_swapped_out=0,major_page_faults=88,minor_page_faults=105535,free_mem=1017065472,total_mem=1045229568
Libvirt, qemu, and the guest operating system may support a subset of the
statistics defined by the virtio spec. Thus, only statistics recognized by
components will be reported.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.[ch]: implement the
new entry point by using info balloon monitor command
Set up the types for the domainMemoryStats function and insert it into the
virDriver structure definition. Because of static initializers, update
every driver and set the new field to NULL.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: new API
* src/driver.h src/*/*_driver.c src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: add the new

If a virtual machine is destroyed on a ESX server then immediately
undefining this virtual machine on a vCenter may fail, because the
vCenter has not been informed about the status change yet. Therefore,
destroy a virtual machine on a vCenter if available, so the vCenter
is up-to-date when the virtual machine should be undefined.
Undefining a virtual machine on an ESX server leaves a orphan on the
vCenter behind. So undefine a virtual machine on a vCenter if available
to fix this problem.
If an ESX host is managed by a vCenter, it knows the IP address of the
vCenter. Setting the vCenter query parameter to * allows to connect to the
vCenter known to an ESX host without the need to specify its IP address
or hostname explicitly.
esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive() lookup a domain by asking
ESX for all known domains and searching manually for the one with the
matching UUID. This is inefficient. The VI API allows to lookup by UUID
directly: FindByUuid().
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: change esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive()
to use esxVI_LookupVirtualMachineByUuid(), also reorder some functions to
keep them in sync with the driver struct
Questions can block tasks, to handle them automatically the driver can answers
them with the default answer. The auto_answer query parameter allows to enable
this automatic question handling.

add new VI API methods and types and additional helper functions for
automatic question handling
Commit 33a198c1f6 increased the gcrypt
version requirement to 1.4.2 because the GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION
define was added in this version.
The configure script doesn't check for the gcrypt version. To support
gcrypt versions < 1.4.2 change the virTLSThreadImpl initialization
to use GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION only if it's defined.
Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
&forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
&disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
to the hypervisor
Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
allowed model names:
cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor

GNUTLS uses gcrypt for its crypto functions. gcrypt requires
that the app/library initializes threading before using it.
We don't want to force apps using libvirt to know about
gcrypt, so we make virInitialize init threading on their
behalf. This location also ensures libvirtd has initialized
it correctly. This initialization is required even if libvirt
itself were only using one thread, since another non-libvirt
library (eg GTK-VNC) could also be using gcrypt from another
thread
* src/libvirt.c: Register thread functions for gcrypt
* configure.in: Add -lgcrypt to linker flags
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Fix IsPersistent() and IsActivE()
methods on storage pools to use 'storagePrivateData' instead
of 'privateData'. Also fix naming convention of objects
* src/esx/esx_vi.c (esxVI_List_CastFromAnyType): For invalid
inputs, fail right away. Do not "goto failure" where a NULL
input pointer would be dereferenced.
* src/esx/esx_util.c (esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath): Return
right away for invalid inputs, rather than using them (which would
dereference NULL pointers) in clean-up code.
The virFileResolveLink utility function relied on the POSIX guarantee
that stat.st_size of a symlink is the length of the value. However,
on some types of file systems, it is invalid, so do not rely on it.
Use gnulib's areadlink module instead.
* bootstrap (modules): Add areadlink.
* src/util/util.c: Include "areadlink.h".
Let areadlink perform the readlink and malloc.
* configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink. No need,
since it's presence is guaranteed by gnulib.
* src/xen/xm_internal.c (xenXMConfigGetULong): Remove useless and
misleading test (always false) for val->str == NULL before code that
always dereferences val->str. "val" comes from virConfGetValue, and
at that point, val->str is guaranteed to be non-NULL.
(xenXMConfigGetBool): Likewise.
* src/util/conf.c (virConfSetValue): Ensure that vir->str is never NULL,
not even if someone tries to set such a value via virConfSetValue.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (doNonTunnelMigrate): Don't let a
NULL "uri_out" provoke a NULL-dereference in doNativeMigrate:
supply omitted goto-after-qemudReportError.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigratePrepareTunnel): Upon an
out of memory error, we would end up with unixfile==NULL and attempt
to unlink(NULL). Skip the unlink when it's NULL.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Set
"event" to NULL after qemuDomainEventQueue frees it, so a
subsequent free (after endjob label) upon qemuMonitorStartCPUs
failure does not cause a double free.
* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c (update_driver_name): The
previous code would write one byte beyond the end of the 4KiB
stack buffer when presented with a symlink value of exactly that
length (very unlikely). Remove the automatic buffer and use
virFileResolveLink in place of readlink. Suggested by Daniel Veillard.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: virStorageBackendFileSystemDelete
was incorrectly calling unlink() in an attempt to remove a directory.
It should be calling rmdir() instead.
src/node_device/node_device_udev.c was using a function available only

If there are no references remaining to the object, vm is set to NULL
and vm->persistent cannot be accessed. Fixed by this trivial patch.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Avoid possible
NULL pointer dereference on --crash dump.
This is trivial for QEMU since you just have to not stop the vm before
starting the dump. And for Xen, you just pass the flag down to xend.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): Add VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --live. (cmdDump): Map it to VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
This patch adds the --crash option (already present in "xm dump-core")
to "virsh dump". virDomainCoreDump already has a flags argument, so
the API/ABI is untouched.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): New flag for
CoreDump
* src/test/test_driver.c (testDomainCoreDump): Do not crash
after dump unless VIR_DUMP_CRASH is given.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Shutdown the domain
instead of restarting it if --crash is passed.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support --crash.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --crash.
(cmdDump): Map it to flags for virDomainCoreDump and pass them.
1) qemuMigrateToCommand uses ">>" so we have to truncate the file
before starting the migration;
2) the command wasn't updated to chown the driver and set/restore
the security lavels;
3) the VM does not have to be resumed if migration fails;
4) the file is not removed when migration fails.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainCoreDump): Truncate file before
dumping, set/restore ownership and security labels for the file.
Those were pointed by DanB in his review but not yet fixed
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: qemudWaitForMonitor() use EnterMonitorWithDriver()
and ExitMonitorWithDriver() there
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: checking fro strdu failure and hash
table add error in qemuMonitorTextGetPtyPaths()
This change makes the QEMU driver get pty paths from the output of the
monitor 'info chardev' command. This output is structured, and contains
both the name of the device and the path on the same line. This is
considerably more reliable than parsing the startup log output, which
requires the parsing code to know which order QEMU will print pty
information in.
Note that we still need to parse the log output as the monitor itself
may be on a pty. This should be rare, however, and the new code will
replace all pty paths parsed by the log output method once the monitor
is available.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.(c|h) src/qemu_monitor_text.(c|h): Implement
qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths().
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Get pty path information using
qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths().
Change -monitor, -serial and -parallel output to use -chardev if it is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Update qemudBuildCommandLine to use -chardev where
available.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add -chardev equivalents
for all current serial and parallel tests.
Even if qemudStartVMDaemon suceeds, an error was logged such as
'qemuRemoveCgroup:1778 : internal error Unable to find cgroup for'.
This is because qemudStartVMDaemon calls qemuRemoveCgroup to
ensure that old cgroup does not remain. This workaround makes
sense but leaving an error message may confuse users.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: a an option to the function to suppress the
error being logged
This patch fixes the bug where paused/running state is not
transmitted during migration. As a result, in the QEMU driver
for example the machine was always started on the destination
end.
In order to do so, just read the state and if it is appropriate and
set the VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainMigrateVersion1, virDomainMigrateVersion2):
Automatically add VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED when appropriate.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainMigratePerform): Give a nicer
error message when migration of paused domains is attempted.
This adds a new flag, VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED, that mandates pausing
the migrated VM before starting it.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainMigrateFlags): Add VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Handle VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_migrate): Add --suspend. (cmdMigrate): Handle it.
* tools/virsh.pod (migrate): Document it.
This makes a small change on the failed-migration path. Up to now,
all VMs that failed non-live migration after the "stop" command
were restarted. This must not be done when the VM was paused in
the first place.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigratePerform): Do not restart
a paused VM that fails migration. Set paused state after "stop",
reset it after failure.
We don't use this method of reloading rules anymore, so we can just
kill the code.
This simplifies things a lot because we no longer need to keep a
table of the rules we've added.
* src/util/iptables.c: kill iptablesReloadRules()
Long ago we tried to use Fedora's lokkit utility in order to register
our iptables rules so that 'service iptables restart' would
automatically load our rules.
There was one fatal flaw - if the user had configured iptables without
lokkit, then we would clobber that configuration by running lokkit.
We quickly disabled lokkit support, but never removed it. Let's do
that now.
The 'my virtual network stops working when I restart iptables' still
remains. For all the background on this saga, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/227011
* src/util/iptables.c: remove lokkit support
* configure.in: remove --enable-lokkit
* libvirt.spec.in: remove the dirs used only for saving rules for lokkit
* src/Makefile.am: ditto
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/util/iptables.h: remove references to iptablesSaveRules
This is the expected behaviour, I think - reloading libvirtd should
be a subset of restarting it.
Note, we reload the rules after we've determined which networks
are active (because we only add the rules for active networks)
and before we start autostart networks (to avoid re-adding the
rules).
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: reload iptables rules on startup
Currently, when we add iptables rules, we keep them on a list so that
we can easily reload them on e.g. 'service libvirtd reload'.
However, we don't save this list to disk, so if libvirtd is restarted
we lose the ability to reload the rules.
The fix is simple - just re-add the damn things on reload.
Note, we delete the rules before re-adding them, just like the current
behaviour of iptRulesReload().
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: re-add the iptables rules on reload.
Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with
calls to VIR_FREE(). Also add missing calls to virBufferFreeAndReset()
and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.
xen-unstable changesets 20321 and 20521 added support for
description in xend domain config. This patch extends that
support in xend backend.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c: add parse and output of domain description
The QEMU 0.10.0 release (and possibly other 0.10.x) has a bug where
it sometimes/often forgets to display the initial monitor greeting
line, soley printing a (qemu). This in turn confuses the text
console parsing because it has a '(qemu)' it is not expecting. The
confusion results in a negative malloc. Bad things follow.
This re-writes the text console handling to be more robust. The key
idea is that it should only look for a (qemu), once it has seen the
original command echo'd back. This ensures it'll skip the bogus stray
(qemu) with broken QEMUs.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Add some (disabled) debug code
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: Re-write way command replies
are detected
Since the monitor I/O is processed out of band from the main
thread(s) invoking monitor commands, the virDomainObj may be
deleted by the I/O thread. The qemuDomainObjBeginJob takes an
extra reference to protect against final deletion, but this
reference is released by the corresponding EndJob call. THus
after the EndJob call it may not be valid to reference the
virDomainObj any more. To allow callers to detect this, the
EndJob call is changed to return the remaining reference count.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Make virDomainObjUnref return the
remaining reference count
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Avoid referencing virDomainObjPtr
after qemuDomainObjEndJob if it has been deleted.
Fix this warning, there is no need to use an intermediate,
different array pointer.
network.c: In function 'getIPv6Addr':
network.c:50: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
* src/util/network.c: avoid an intermediary pointer cast
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h: Add callbacks
for reset, shutdown, poweroff and stop events. Add convenience
methods for emiting those events
With addition of events there will be alot of callbacks.
To avoid having to add many APIs to register callbacks,
provide them all at once in a big table
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Pass in a callback table to QEMU
monitor code
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h Replace
the EOF and disk secret callbacks with a callback table
Initial support for the new QEMU monitor protocol using JSON
as the data encoding format instead of plain text

* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h: Add
impl of QMP protocol
* src/Makefile.am: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.{c,h}
Now that drivers are using a private domain object state blob,
the virDomainObjFormat/Parse methods are no longer able to
directly serialize all neccessary state to/from XML. It is
thus neccessary to introduce a pair of callbacks fo serializing
private state.
The code for serializing vCPU PIDs and the monitor device
config can now move out of domain_conf.c and into the
qemu_driver.c where they belong.
* src/conf/capabilities.h: Add callbacks for serializing private
state to/from XML
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Remove the
monitor, monitor_chr, monitorWatch, nvcpupids and vcpupids
fields from virDomainObjPtr. Remove code that serialized
those fields
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virXPathBoolean
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Add callbacks for serializing monitor
and vcpupid data to/from XML
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Pass monitor
char device config into qemuMonitorOpen directly.
The code to start CPUs executing has nothing todo with CPU
affinity masks, so pull it out of the qemudInitCpuAffinity()
method and up into qemudStartVMDaemon()
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Pull code to start CPUs executing out
of qemudInitCpuAffinity()
The current QEMU disk media change does not support setting the
disk format. The new JSON monitor will support this, so add an
extra parameter to pass this info in
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Pass in disk format when changing media
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h:
Add a 'format' arg to qemuMonitorChangeMedia()
The qemuMonitorEscape() method, and the VIR_ENUM for migration
status will be needed by the JSON monitor too, so move that code
into the shared qemu_monitor.c file instead of qemu_monitor_text.c
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h: Declare qemuMonitorMigrationStatus enum
and qemuMonitorEscapeArg and qemuMonitorEscapeShell methods
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Implement qemuMonitorMigrationStatus enum
and qemuMonitorEscapeArg and qemuMonitorEscapeShell methods
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: Remove above methods/enum
If QEMU shuts down while we're in the middle of processing a
monitor command, the monitor will be freed, and upon cleaning
up we attempt to do qemuMonitorUnlock(priv->mon) when priv->mon
is NULL.
To address this we introduce proper reference counting into
the qemuMonitorPtr object, and hold an extra reference whenever
executing a command.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Hold a reference on the monitor while
executing commands, and only NULL-ify the priv->mon field when
the last reference is released
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Add reference
counting to handle safe deletion of monitor objects

This introduces simple API for handling JSON data. There is
an internal data structure 'virJSONValuePtr' which stores a
arbitrary nested JSON value (number, string, array, object,

Xen HVM guests with PV drivers end up with two network interfaces for
each configured interface. One of them being emulated by qemu and the
other one paravirtual. As this might not be desirable, the attached
patch provides a way for users to specify that only paravirtual network
interface should be presented to the guest.
The configuration was inspired by qemu/kvm driver, for which users can
specify model='virtio' to use paravirtual network interface.
The patch adds support for model='netfront' which results in
type=netfront instead of type=ioemu (or nothing for newer xen versions)
in guests native configuration. Xen's qemu ignores interfaces with
type != ioemu and only paravirtual network device will be seen in the
guest.
Four possible configuration scenarios follow:
- no model specified in domain's XML
- libvirt will behave like before this change; it will set
type=ioemu for HVM guests on xen host which is not newer than
XEND_CONFIG_MAX_VERS_NET_TYPE_IOEMU
- covered by existing tests
- PV guest, any model
- no functional change, model is passed as is (and ignored by the
hypervisor)
- covered by existing tests (e.g., *-net-e1000.*)
- HVM guest, model=netfront
- type is set to "netfront", model is not specified
- covered by new *-net-netfront.* tests
- HVM guest, model != netfront
- type is set to "ioemu", model is passed as is
- covered by new *-net-ioemu.* tests
The fourth scenario feels like a regression for xen newer than
XEND_CONFIG_MAX_VERS_NET_TYPE_IOEMU as users who had a model specified
in their guest's configuration won't see a paravirtual interface in
their guests any more. On the other hand, the reason for specifying a
model is most likely the fact that they want to use such model which
implies emulated interface. Users of older xen won't be affected at all
as their xen provides paravirtual interface regardless of the type used.
- src/xen/xend_internal.c: add netfront support for the xend backend
- src/xen/xm_internal.c: add netfront support for the XM serialization too
