In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

This is particularly useful on operating systems that don't ship
Perl as part of the base system (eg. FreeBSD) while still working
just as well as it did before on Linux.
In one case (src/rpc/genprotocol.pl) the interpreter path was
missing altogether.

libvirt_qemu_probes.stp stopped working after switching to a build
that used --with-driver-modules. This was because the symbols listed
int libvirt_qemu_probes.stp are no longer in $(bindir)/libvirtd, but
are now in $(libdir)/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so.
This patch enhances dtrace2systemtap.pl (which generates the .stp
files from .d files) to look for a new "module" setting in the
comments of the .d file (similar to the existing "binary" setting),
and to look for a --with-modules option. If the --with-modules option
is set *and* a "module" setting is present in the .d file, the process
name for the stap line is set to
$libdir/$module
If either of these isn't true, it reverts to the old behavior.
src/Makefile.am was also modified to add the --with-modules option
when the build calls for it, and src/libvirt_qemu_probes.d has added a
"module" line pointing to the correct .so file for the qemu driver.
The cfg.mk file rule to check for tab characters was not
applied to perl files. Much of our Perl code is full of
tabs as a result. Kill them, kill them all !
This change adds some systemtap/dtrace probes to the QEMU monitor
client code. In particular it allows watching of all operations
for a VM
* examples/systemtap/qemu-monitor.stp: Watch all monitor commands
* src/Makefile.am: Passing libdir/bindir/sbindir to dtrace2systemtap.pl
* src/dtrace2systemtap.pl: Accept libdir/bindir/sbindir as args
and look for '# binary:' comment to mark probes against libvirtd
vs libvirt.so
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: Add probes for key functions
The libvirtd daemon had a few crude system tap probes. Some of
these were broken during the RPC rewrite. The new modular RPC
code is structured in a way that allows much more effective
tracing. Instead of trying to hook up the original probes,
define a new set of probes for the RPC and event code.
The master probes file is now src/probes.d. This contains
probes for virNetServerClientPtr, virNetClientPtr, virSocketPtr
virNetTLSContextPtr and virNetTLSSessionPtr modules. Also add
probes for the poll event loop.
The src/dtrace2systemtap.pl script can convert the probes.d
file into a libvirt_probes.stp file to make use from systemtap
much simpler.
The src/rpc/gensystemtap.pl script can generate a set of
systemtap functions for translating RPC enum values into
printable strings. This works for all RPC header enums (program,
type, status, procedure) and also the authentication enum
The PROBE macro will automatically generate a VIR_DEBUG
statement, so any place with a PROBE can remove any existing
manual DEBUG statements.
