Instead of encoding formatting information inside the
corresponding XSLT stylesheet, use a Python script to reformat
the text appropriately based on a few simple markers.
Splitting the task between the XSLT stylesheet and the Python
script allows us to keep both parts very simple.
Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet
to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the
libvirt website.
The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the
source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single
missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably.
Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details
of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy
to understand, tweak or fix.
To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML
file that contains exactly the information we care about in a
simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and
plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets
that can now afford to be almost trivial.
There are still some systems out there that have broken
setfilecon*() prototypes. Instead of taking 'const char *tcon' it
is taking 'char *tcon'. The function should just set the context,
not modify it.
We had been bitten with this problem before which resulted in
292d3f2d and subsequently b109c09765. However, with one my latest
commits (4674fc6afd) I've changed the type of @tcon variable to
'const char *' which results in build failure on the systems from
above.

For the blockjobs, where libvirt is able to track the state internally
we can fix locking of images we can remove the appropriate locks.
Also when doing a pivoting operation we should not acquire the lock on
any of those images since both are actually locked already.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1302168
Images that became the backing chain of the current image due to the
snapshot need to be unlocked in the lock manager. Also if qemu was
paused during the snapshot the current top level images need to be
released until qemu is resumed so that they can be acquired properly.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1191901
The code at first changed the definition and then rolled it back in case
of failure. This was ridiculous. Refactor the code so that the image in
the definition is changed only when the snapshot is successful.
The refactor will also simplify further fix of image locking when doing
snapshots.
Libvirt is able to properly model what happens to the backing chain
after a snapshot so there's no real need to redetect the data.
Additionally with the _REUSE_EXT flag this might end up in redetecting
wrong data if the user puts wrong backing chain reference into the
snapshot image.
Commit id 'a48c674f' caused problems for systems without PARTED installed.
So move the PARTED probing code back to storage_backend_disk.c and create
a shim within storage_backend.c to call it if WITH_STORAGE_DISK is true;
otherwise, just return -1 with the error.
At startup time, rather than blindly trusting the target devices are
still properly formatted, let's check to make sure the pool's target
devices are all properly formatted before attempting to start the pool.

Currently as long as the disk is formatted using a known parted format

Rather than have the Disk code having to use PARTED to determine if
there's something on the device, let's use the virStorageBackendDeviceProbe.
and only fallback to the PARTED probing if the BLKID code isn't built in.
This will also provide a mechanism for the other current caller (File
System Backend) to utilize a PARTED parsing algorithm in the event that
BLKID isn't built in to at least see if *something* exists on the disk
before blindly trying to use. The PARTED error checking will not find
file system types, but if there is a partition table set on the device,
it will at least cause a failure.
Move virStorageBackendDiskValidLabel and virStorageBackendDiskFindLabel

It's possible that the API could be called from a startup path in
order to check whether the label on the device matches what our
format is. In order to handle that condition, add a 'writelabel'
boolean to the API in order to indicate whether a write or just
read is about to happen.
This alters two "error" conditions that would care about knowing.

Commit id '27758859' introduced the "NO_OVERWRITE" flag check for
file system backends; however, the implementation, documentation,
and algorithm was inconsistent. For the "flag" description for the
API the flag was described as "Do not overwrite existing pool";
however, within the storage backend code the flag is described
as "it probes to determine if filesystem already exists on the
target device, renurning an error if exists".
The code itself was implemented using the paradigm to set up the
superblock probe by creating a filter that would cause the code
to only search for the provided format type. If that type wasn't
found, then the algorithm would return success allowing the caller
to format the device. If the format type already existed on the
device, then the code would fail indicating that the a filesystem
of the same type existed on the device.
The result is that if someone had a file system of one type on the
device, it was possible to overwrite it if a different format type
was specified in updated XML effectively trashing whatever was on
the device already.
This patch alters what NO_OVERWRITE does for a file system backend
to be more realistic and consistent with what should be expected when
the caller requests to not overwrite the data on the disk.
Rather than filter results based on the expected format type, the
code will allow success/failure be determined solely on whether the
blkid_do_probe calls finds some known format on the device. This
adjustment also allows removal of the virStoragePoolProbeResult
enum that was under utilized.
If it does find a formatted file system different errors will be
generated indicating a file system of a specific type already exists
or a file system of some other type already exists.
In the original virsh support commit id 'ddcd5674', the description
for '--no-overwrite' within the 'pool-build' command help output
has an ambiguous "of this type" included in the short description.
Compared to the longer description within the "Build a given pool."
section of the virsh.pod file it's more apparent that the meaning
of this flag would cause failure if a probe of the target already
has a filesystem.
So this patch also modifies the short description to just be the
antecedent of the 'overwrite' flag, which matches the API description.
This patch also modifies the grammar in virsh.pod for no-overwrite
as well as reworking the paragraph formats to make it easier to read.

So far if qemu is spawned under separate mount namespace in order
to relabel everything it needs an access to the security driver
to run in that namespace too. This has a very nasty down side -
it is being run in a separate process, so any internal state
transition is NOT reflected in the daemon. This can lead to many
sleepless nights. Therefore, use the transaction APIs so that
libvirt developers can sleep tight again.

With our new qemu namespace code in place, the relabelling of
devices is done not as good is it could: a child process is
spawned, it enters the mount namespace of the qemu process and
then runs desired API of the security driver.
Problem with this approach is that internal state transition of
the security driver done in the child process is not reflected in
the parent process. While currently it wouldn't matter that much,
it is fairly easy to forget about that. We should take the extra
step now while this limitation is still fresh in our minds.
Three new APIs are introduced here:
virSecurityManagerTransactionStart()
virSecurityManagerTransactionCommit()
virSecurityManagerTransactionAbort()
The Start() is going to be used to let security driver know that
we are starting a new transaction. During a transaction no
security labels are actually touched, but rather recorded and
only at Commit() phase they are actually updated. Should
something go wrong Abort() aborts the transaction freeing up all
memory allocated by transaction.

virtio-pci is the way forward for aarch64 guests: it's faster
and less alien to people coming from other architectures.
Now that guest support is finally getting there (Fedora 24,
CentOS 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian testing all support
virtio-pci out of the box), we'd like to start using it by
default instead of virtio-mmio.
Users and applications can already opt-in by explicitly using
<address type='pci'/>
inside the relevant elements, but that's kind of cumbersome and
requires all users and management applications to adapt, which
we'd really like to avoid.
What we can do instead is use virtio-mmio only if the guest
already has at least one virtio-mmio device, and use virtio-pci
in all other situations.
That means existing virtio-mmio guests will keep using the old
addressing scheme, and new guests will automatically be created
using virtio-pci instead. Users can still override the default
in either direction.
Existing tests such as aarch64-aavmf-virtio-mmio and
aarch64-virtio-pci-default already cover all possible
scenarios, so no additions to the test suites are necessary.
When coldplugging vcpus to a VM that already has a few hotpluggable
vcpus the code might generate invalid configuration as
non-hotpluggable cpus need to be clustered starting from vcpu 0.
This fix forces the added vcpus to be hotpluggable in such case.

has, as far as I can tell from looking through git history - it was
shown in the original import of the virsh.pod file in 2006; there was
no VIR_DOMAIN_DYING state then, there wasn't one when those lines of
virsh.pod were tweaked in 2008, and there still isn't one
today. Apparently it was just something that sounded like a good idea
to someone at some time, but was never implemented...)
