9a070e8341 build: fix bootstrap on fresh clone
Commit 29db7a0 picked up a gnulib bug, where a change in
bootstrap meant that it would fail to run libtoolize on
projects, like libvirt, that used the older spelling
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL instead of LT_INIT for the sake of building
on RHEL 5.  Now that gnulib is fixed, we should pick up that
fix.

* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fix.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.

487bdbd8e0 docs: Expose alias tag in domain RNG schema
Though <alias> is ignored when defining a domain, it can cause
failure if one validates (e.g. virt-xml-validate) the XML dumped
from a running domain. This patch expose it in domain RNG schema
for all the devices which support it.

bfbbc49638 conf: Remove do-nothing validation functions
There are three address validation routines that do nothing:
  virDomainDeviceDriveAddressIsValid()
  virDomainDeviceUSBAddressIsValid()
  virDomainDeviceVirtioSerialAddressIsValid()

Remove them, and replace their call sites with "1" which is what they
currently return. In some cases this means we can remove an entire
if block.

4b942fe860 tests: Add qemuxml2argv tests for PPC64 pseries machine
Add four tests of the XML -> argv handling for the PPC64 pseries machine.

The first is just a basic test of a bare bones machine.

The three others test various aspects of the spapr-vio address handling.

It seems that currently we can't include network devices, doing so leads
to a segfault because the network driverState is not initialised. Working
around that leads us to the problem that the 'default' network doesn't
exist. So for now just leave network devices out.

69dde2e653 tests: Teach qemuxml2argvtest about spapr-vio addresses
We can't call qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() from test code, because it
expects to be able to call the emulator, and for testing we have fake
emulators that can't be executed. For that reason qemuxml2argvtest.c
doesn't call qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses(), instead it open codes its
own version.

That means we can't call qemuDomainAssignAddresses() from the test code,
instead we need to manually call qemuDomainAssignSpaprVioAddresses().

Also add logic to cope with qemuDomainAssignSpaprVioAddresses() failing,
so that we can write a test that checks for a known failure in there.

c972237ee1 events: Return the correct number of registered events
Commit d09f6ba5fe introduced a regression in event
registration.  virDomainEventCallbackListAddID() will only return a positive
integer if the type of event being registered is VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE.
For other event types, 0 is always returned on success.  This has the
unfortunate side effect of not enabling remote event callbacks because
remoteDomainEventRegisterAny() uses the return value from the local call to
determine if an event callback needs to be registered on the remote end.

Make sure virDomainEventCallbackListAddID() returns the callback count for the
eventID being registered.

9130396214 Re-write LXC controller end-of-file I/O handling yet again
Currently the LXC controller attempts to deal with EOF on a
tty by spawning a thread to do an edge triggered epoll_wait().
This avoids the normal event loop spinning on POLLHUP. There
is a subtle mistake though - even after seeing POLLHUP on a
master PTY, it is still perfectly possible & valid to write
data to the PTY. There is a buffer that can be filled with
data, even when no client is present.

The second mistake is that the epoll_wait() thread was not
looking for the EPOLLOUT condition, so when a new client
connects to the LXC console, it had to explicitly send a
character before any queued output would appear.

Finally, there was in fact no need to spawn a new thread to
deal with epoll_wait(). The epoll file descriptor itself
can be poll()'d on normally.

This patch attempts to deal with all these problems.

 - The blocking epoll_wait() thread is replaced by a poll
   on the epoll file descriptor which then does a non-blocking
   epoll_wait() to handle events
 - Even if POLLHUP is seen, we continue trying to write
   any pending output until getting EAGAIN from write.
 - Once write returns EAGAIN, we modify the epoll event
   mask to also look for EPOLLOUT

event 32-bits.  3 characters is clearly too small an alignment.
Increase alignment to 5 characters to allow 16-bit domain IDs to
display cleanly. Commonly seen with LXC where domain IDs are the
process IDs by default.  Also increase the 'name' field from 20
to 30 characters to cope with longer guest names which are quite
common

833b901cb7 stream: Check for stream EOF
If client stream does not have any data to sink and neither received
EOF, a dummy packet is sent to the daemon signalising client is ready to
sink some data. However, after we added event loop to client a race may
occur:

Thread 1 calls virNetClientStreamRecvPacket and since no data are cached
nor stream has EOF, it decides to send dummy packet to server which will
sent some data in turn. However, during this decision and actual message
exchange with server -

Thread 2 receives last stream data from server. Therefore an EOF is set
on stream and if there is a call waiting (which is not yet) it is woken
up. However, Thread 1 haven't sent anything so far, so there is no call
to be woken up. So this thread sent dummy packet to daemon, which
ignores that as no stream is associated with such packet and therefore
no reply will ever come.

This race causes client to hang indefinitely.

../../src/interface/netcf_driver.c:644:5: error: unknown field 'close_used_without_including_unistd_h' specified in initializer

This is because the gnulib headers #define close to different strings,
according to which headers are included, in order to work around some
odd mingw problems with close(), and these defines happen to also
affect field members declared with a name of struct foo.close. As long
as all headers are included before both the definition and use of the
struct, the various #define doesn't matter, but the netcf file hit
an instance where things were included in a different order.  Fix this
for all clients that use a struct member named 'close'.

caa6223a9b Add access to elements of variables via index

80e9a5cd4c Introduce possibility to have an iterator per variable
This patch introduces the capability to use a different iterator per
variable.

The currently supported notation of variables in a filtering rule like

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A' srcportstart='$B'/>
  </rule>

processes the two lists 'A' and 'B' in parallel. This means that A and B
must have the same number of 'N' elements and that 'N' rules will be 
instantiated (assuming all tuples from A and B are unique).

In this patch we now introduce the assignment of variables to different
iterators. Therefore a rule like

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A[@1]' srcportstart='$B[@2]'/>
  </rule>

will now create every combination of elements in A with elements in B since
A has been assigned to an iterator with Id '1' and B has been assigned to an
iterator with Id '2', thus processing their value independently.

The first rule has an equivalent notation of

  <rule action='accept' direction='out'>
     <tcp  srcipaddr='$A[@0]' srcportstart='$B[@0]'/>
  </rule>

134c56764f Optimize the elements the iterator visits.
In this patch we introduce testing whether the iterator points to a
unique set of entries that have not been seen before at one of the previous
iterations. The point is to eliminate duplicates and with that unnecessary
filtering rules by preventing identical filtering rules from being
instantiated.
Example with two lists:

list1 = [1,2,1]
list2 = [1,3,1]

The 1st iteration would take the 1st items of each list -> 1,1
The 2nd iteration would take the 2nd items of each list -> 2,3
The 3rd iteration would take the 3rd items of each list -> 1,1 but
skip them since this same pair has already been encountered in the 1st
iteration

Implementation-wise this is solved by taking the n-th element of list1 and
comparing it against elements 1..n-1. If no equivalent is found, then there
is no possibility of this being a duplicate. In case an equivalent element
is found at position i, then the n-th element in the 2nd list is compared
against the i-th element in the 2nd list and if that is not the same, then
this is a unique pair, otherwise it is not unique and we may need to do
the same comparison on the 3rd list.

Aside from two functions which want obj->pid, every bit of the

is sufficient. Two functions also gain a 'pid_t pid' argument.

4e9953a426 snapshot: allow reuse of existing files in disk snapshot
When disk snapshots were first implemented, libvirt blindly refused
to allow an external snapshot destination that already exists, since
qemu will blindly overwrite the contents of that file during the
snapshot_blkdev monitor command, and we don't like a default of
data loss by default.  But VDSM has a scenario where NFS permissions
are intentionally set so that the destination file can only be
created by the management machine, and not the machine where the
guest is running, so that libvirt will necessarily see the destination
file already existing; adding a flag will allow VDSM to force the file
reuse without libvirt complaining of possible data loss.

32f63e912d qemu: check for kvm availability before starting kvm guests
This *kind of* addresses:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772395

(it doesn't eliminate the failure to start, but causes libvirt to give
a better idea about the cause of the failure).

If a guest uses a kvm emulator (e.g. /usr/bin/qemu-kvm) and the guest
is started when kvm isn't available (either because virtualization is
unavailable / has been disabled in the BIOS, or the kvm modules
haven't been loaded for some reason), a semi-cryptic error message is
logged:

  libvirtError: internal error Child process (LC_ALL=C
  PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -device ? -device
  pci-assign,? -device virtio-blk-pci,? -device virtio-net-pci,?) status
  unexpected: exit status 1

This patch notices at process start that a guest needs kvm, and checks
for the presence of /dev/kvm (a reasonable indicator that kvm is
available) before trying to execute the qemu binary. If kvm isn't
available, a more useful (too verbose??) error is logged.

9ae4ac7ac0 PolicyKit: Check auth before asking client to obtain it
I previously mentioned [1] a PolicyKit issue where libvirt would
proceed with authentication even though polkit-auth failed:

testusr xen134:~> virsh list --all
Attempting to obtain authorization for org.libvirt.unix.manage.
polkit-grant-helper: given auth type (8 -> yes) is bogus
Failed to obtain authorization for org.libvirt.unix.manage.

----------------------------------
  0 Domain-0             running
  - sles11sp1-pv         shut off

AFAICT, libvirt attempts to obtain a privilege it already has,
causing polkit-auth to fail with above message.  Instead of calling
obtain and then checking auth, IMO the workflow should be for the
server to check auth first, and if that fails ask the client to
obtain it and check again.  This workflow also allows for checking
only successful exit of polkit-auth in virConnectAuthGainPolkit().

177db08775 qemu: add new disk device='lun' for bus='virtio' & type='block'
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.

As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.

device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:

1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
   version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
   better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
   CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).

2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
   SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
   -device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).

Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.

*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
 add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter

*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.

Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.

e8daeeb136 qemu: add capabilities flags related to SG_IO
This patch adds two capabilities flags to deal with various aspects
of supporting SG_IO commands on virtio-blk-pci devices:

  QEMU_CAPS_VIRTIO_BLK_SCSI
    set if -device virtio-blk-pci accepts the scsi="on|off" option
    When present, this is on by default, but can be set to off to disable
    SG_IO functions.

  QEMU_CAPS_VIRTIO_BLK_SG_IO
    set if SG_IO commands are supported in the virtio-blk-pci driver
    (present since qemu 0.11 according to a qemu developer, if I
     understood correctly)

1734cdb995 config: report error when script given for inappropriate interface type
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638633

Although scripts are not used by interfaces of type other than
"ethernet" in qemu, due to the fact that the parser stores the script
name in a union that is only valid when type is ethernet or bridge,
there is no way for anyone except the parser itself to catch the
problem of specifying an interface script for an inappropriate
interface type (by the time the parsed data gets back to the code that
called the parser, all evidence that a script was specified is
forgotten).

Since the parser itself should be agnostic to which type of interface
allows scripts (an example of why: a script specified for an interface
of type bridge is valid for xen domains, but not for qemu domains),
the solution here is to move the script out of the union(s) in the
DomainNetDef, always populate it when specified (regardless of
interface type), and let the driver decide whether or not it is
appropriate.

Currently the qemu, xen, libxml, and uml drivers recognize the script
parameter and do something with it (the uml driver only to report that
it isn't supported). Those drivers have been updated to log a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error when a script is specified for an interface
type that's inappropriate for that particular hypervisor.

(NB: There was earlier discussion of solving this problem by adding a
VALIDATE flag to all libvirt APIs that accept XML, which would cause
the XML to be validated against the RNG files. One statement during
that discussion was that the RNG shouldn't contain hypervisor-specific
things, though, and a proper solution to this problem would require
that (again, because a script for an interface of type "bridge" is
accepted by xen, but not by qemu).
