Commit 9298bfbcb introduced code to detect if netcf is linked with
libnl1, and to prefer libnl1 over libnl3 when this is the case.
This behaviour can be disabled by setting LIBNL_CFLAGS to any value,
including the empty string.
However, configure.ac sets LIBNL_CFLAGS to "" before attempting
libnl detection, so the libnl1 detection code is always disabled.
This caused issues on my f17 system where netcf is linked with libnl1
but libvirt got built with libnl3.
This commit removes the setting of the LIBNL_* variables to "" as
this does not appear to be needed. After this change, libnl1 is
used when building libvirt on my f17 system.
Based exclusively on work by Eric Blake in a patch posted with the same
subject. However some modifications related to comments and my plans to
add another backend.
Added WITH_INTERFACE as the only automake variable deciding whether to
build the driver and using WITH_NETCF to identify that we're wanting to
use the netcf library as the backend.
* configure.ac: Added with_interface
* src/interface/netcf_driver.c: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_backend_netcf.c: ..to this to match storage.
* src/interface/netcf_driver.h: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_driver.h: ..to this.
* daemon/Makefile.am: Respect WITH_INTERFACE and WITH_NETCF.
* libvirt.spec.in: Add RPM support for --with-interface
With this script you can run libvirt programs without needing to
install them first. You just have to do for example:
./run ./tools/virsh [args ...]
If you are already in the tools/ subdirectory, then the following
command will also work:
../run ./virsh [...]
You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this:
./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./program
or under gdb:
./run gdb --args ./program
This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt):
sudo ./run ./tools/virsh list --all
Derived from libguestfs and simplified. The ./run script in
libguestfs is much more sophisticated:

Commit 9298bfb changed configure to split the libnl into two
separate pkg config checks instead of nesting the second check
on the failure path of the first. But the default pkg config
behavior is to abort configure if a check fails. Since we have
a second check lined up, we need an explicit failure case that
does not abort if the first check fails.
Meanwhile, commit 51b708c is reverted. It did not fix any
behavior, and in fact, introduced a regression to the fallback
case when the user explicitly sets $LIBNL_CFLAGS.
* configure.ac: Don't abort if libnl-3 is not found.
Recent spec file changes ensure that in distro situations, netcf
and libvirt will link against the same libnl in order to avoid
dumping core. But for every-day development, if you use F17 and
have the libnl3-devel headers available, libvirt was blindly
linking against libnl3 even though F17 netcf still links against
libnl1, making testing a self-built binary on F17 impossible.
By making configure a little bit smarter, we can avoid this
situation - we merely skip the probe of libnl-3 if we can prove
that netcf is still using libnl-1. I intentionally wrote the
test so that we still favor libnl-3 if netcf is not installed or
if we couldn't use ldd to determine things.
Defaults being what they are, someone will invariably complain
that our smarts were wrong. Never fear - in that case, just run
./configure LIBNL_CFLAGS=..., where the fact that you set
LIBNL_CFLAGS (even to the empty string) will go back to probing
for libnl-3, regardless of netcf's choice.
* configure.ac (LIBNL): Don't probe libnl3 if netcf doesn't use it.
FreeBSD and OpenBSD have a <net/if.h> that is not self-contained;
and mingw lacks the header altogether. But gnulib has just taken
care of that for us, so we might as well simplify our code. In
the process, I got a syntax-check failure if we don't also take
the gnulib execinfo module.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for execinfo and net_if.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add execinfo and net_if modules.
* configure.ac: Let gnulib check for headers. Simplify check for
'struct ifreq', while also including enough prereq headers.
* src/internal.h (IF_NAMESIZE): Drop, now that gnulib guarantees it.
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.h: Use correct header for
IF_NAMESIZE.
* src/util/virnetdev.c (includes): Assume <net/if.h> exists.
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/util/virnetdevtap.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/util/logging.c (includes): Assume <execinfo.h> exists.
(virLogStackTraceToFd): Handle gnulib's fallback implementation.
On OpenBSD, clock_gettime() exists in libc rather than librt, and
blindly linking with -lrt made the build fail. Gnulib already
did the work for determining which libraries to use, so we should
reuse that work rather than doing it ourselves.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Pull in clock-time.
* configure.ac (RT_LIBS): Drop.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_util_la_LIBADD): Use gnulib variable
instead.
* src/util/virtime.c (includes): Simplify.
We already skip out on building the LXC under RHEL 5, because the
kernel is too old (commits 4c18acf, 2dee896); but commit 9612e4b
moved some LXC-only code into common files, resulting in this
build failure:
util/virfile.c: In function 'virFileLoopDeviceAssociate':
util/virfile.c:580: error: 'LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR' undeclared (first use in this function)
Unfortunately, the kernel folks only made it an enum, rather than
also a #define, so we have to modify configure.ac to record when
it is usable.
* configure.ac (with_lxc): Mark when LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR was found.
* src/util/virfile.c (virFileLoopDeviceAssociate): Avoid
compilation when kernel is too old.
* configure.ac, spec file: firewalld defaults to enabled if dbus is
available, otherwise is disabled. If --with_firewalld is explicitly
requested and dbus is not available, configure will fail.
* bridge_driver: add dbus filters to get the FirewallD1.Reloaded
signal and DBus.NameOwnerChanged on org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.
When these are encountered, reload all the iptables reuls of all
libvirt's virtual networks (similar to what happens when libvirtd is
restarted).
* iptables, ebtables: use firewall-cmd's direct passthrough interface
when available, otherwise use iptables and ebtables commands. This
decision is made once the first time libvirt calls
iptables/ebtables, and that decision is maintained for the life of
libvirtd.
* Note that the nwfilter part of this patch was separated out into
another patch by Stefan in V2, so that needs to be revised and
re-reviewed as well.
================
All the configure.ac and specfile changes are unchanged from Thomas'
V3.
V3 re-ran "firewall-cmd --state" every time a new rule was added,
which was extremely inefficient. V4 uses VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT to set
up a one-time initialization function.
The VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(x) macro references a static function called
vir(Ip|Eb)OnceInit(), which will then be called the first time that
the static function vir(Ip|Eb)TablesInitialize() is called (that
function is defined for you by the macro). This is
thread-safe, so there is no chance of any race.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I've left the VIR_DEBUG messages in these two init
functions (one for iptables, on for ebtables) as VIR_WARN so that I
don't have to turn on all the other debug message just to see
these. Even if this patch doesn't need any other modification, those
messages need to be changed to VIR_DEBUG before pushing.
This one-time initialization works well. However, I've encountered
problems with testing:
1) Whenever I have enabled the firewalld service, *all* attempts to
call firewall-cmd from within libvirtd end with firewall-cmd hanging
internally somewhere. This is *not* the case if firewall-cmd returns
non-0 in response to "firewall-cmd --state" (i.e. *that* command runs
and returns to libvirt successfully.)
2) If I start libvirtd while firewalld is stopped, then start
firewalld later, this triggers libvirtd to reload its iptables rules,
however it also spits out a *ton* of complaints about deletion failing
(I suppose because firewalld has nuked all of libvirt's rules). I
guess we need to suppress those messages (which is a more annoying
problem to fix than you might think, but that's another story).
3) I noticed a few times during this long line of errors that
firewalld made a complaint about "Resource Temporarily
unavailable. Having libvirtd access iptables commands directly at the
same time as firewalld is doing so is apparently problematic.
4) In general, I'm concerned about the "set it once and never change
it" method - if firewalld is disabled at libvirtd startup, causing
libvirtd to always use iptables/ebtables directly, this won't cause
*terrible* problems, but if libvirtd decides to use firewall-cmd and
firewalld is later disabled, libvirtd will not be able to recover.
This patch adds helper functions that enable us to use libssh2 in
conjunction with libvirt's virNetSockets for ssh transport instead of
spawning "ssh" client process.
This implemetation supports tunneled plaintext, keyboard-interactive,
private key, ssh agent based and null authentication. Libvirt's Auth
callback is used for interaction with the user. (Keyboard interactive
authentication, adding of host keys, private key passphrases). This
enables seamless integration into the application using libvirt. No
helpers as "ssh-askpass" are needed.
Reading and writing of OpenSSH style "known_hosts" files is supported.
Communication is done using SSH exec channel, where the user may specify
arbitrary command to be executed on the remote side and reads and writes
to/from stdin/out are sent through the ssh channel. Usage of stderr is
not (yet) supported.
Commit 350583c8 broke development on a RHEL 5 box, where the
ancient Autoconf 2.59 lacks AS_VERSION_STRING. Rather than
backport the complex awk script that newer autoconf uses for
true strverscmp comparisons from the shell, it was easier to
just open-code a shell case statement.
* configure.ac (qemu_version): Open-code a replacement for
AS_VERSION_CHECK.
The way LIBVIRT_VERSION_INFO is calculated has a timebomb that
will cause us to accidentally break soname when we change the
major version number to a non-zero value !
Given CURRENT:REVISION:AGE, libtool will generate
libvirt.so.($CURRENT-$AGE).$AGE.$REVISION
We set CURRENT to be MAJOR+MINOR and AGE to $MINOR, so as
soon as MAJOR changes to non-zero, we get libvirt.so.1
as the soname, eg 1.3.9 would create libvirt.so.1.3.9
Looks natural but is not ABI compatible with libvirt.so.0.x.y
The fix is to set CURRENT to always be exactly the same
as AGE. We want to have the major version reflected in
the so symlinks though. So then we set AGE to MAJOR*1000+MINOR
eg, so 1.3.9 would create libvirt.so.0.1003.9 and libvirt
2.51.3 would create libvirt.so.0.2051.3
libvirt creates invalid commands if wrong locale is selected. For
example with locale that uses comma as a decimal point, JSON commands
created with decimal numbers are invalid because comma separates the
entries in JSON. Fortunately even when decimal point is affected,
thousands grouping is not, because for grouping to be enabled with
*printf, there has to be an apostrophe flag specified (and supported).
This patch adds specific internal function for converting doubles to
strings with C locale.
The recent changes to the testsuite to validate exported symbols
flushed out a case of unconditionally exporting symbols that
were only conditionally compiled under HAVE_AVAHI.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_net_rpc_server_la_SOURCES): Compile
virnetservermdns unconditionally.
* configure.ac (HAVE_AVAHI): Drop unused automake conditional.
* src/rpc/virnetservermdns.c: Add fallbacks when Avahi is not
present.
On Debian/Ubuntu, one of the libraries libvirt (indirectly) links
with exports a symbol named 'base64_encode'. This takes precedence
over GNULIB's base64_encode function during linking. Unfortunately
they of course have different API semantics. To avoid this problem
use a few #defines in config.h to rename the GNULIB provided
function to have a 'libvirt_gl_' prefix
There are a few issues with the current virAtomic APIs
- They require use of a virAtomicInt struct instead of a plain
int type
- Several of the methods do not implement memory barriers
- The methods do not implement compiler re-ordering barriers
- There is no Win32 native impl
The GLib library has a nice LGPLv2+ licensed impl of atomic
ops that works with GCC, Win32, or pthreads.h that addresses
all these problems. The main downside to their code is that
the pthreads impl uses a single global mutex, instead of
a per-variable mutex. Given that it does have a Win32 impl
though, we don't expect anyone to seriously use the pthread.h
impl, so this downside is not significant.
* .gitignore: Ignore test case
* configure.ac: Check for which atomic ops impl to use
* src/Makefile.am: Add viratomic.c
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_dhcpsnoop.c: Switch to new atomic
ops APIs and plain int datatype
* src/util/viratomic.h: inline impls of all atomic ops
for GCC, Win32 and pthreads
* src/util/viratomic.c: Global pthreads mutex for atomic
ops
* tests/viratomictest.c: Test validate to validate safety
of atomic ops.

This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.
A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.
A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.
In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.
<disk type='network'>
...
<source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
<host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
</source>
</disk>

Commit 6e769eba made it a runtime error if libvirt was compiled
without yajl support but targets a new enough qemu. But enough
users are hitting this on self-compiled libvirt that it is worth
erroring out at compilation time, rather than an obscure failure
when trying to use the built executable.

Commit 1c275e9a accidentally dropped the storage driver from
libvirtd, because it depended on a C preprocessor macro that
was not defined. Furthermore, if you do './configure
--without-storage-dir --with-storage-disk' or any other combination
where you explicitly build a subset of storage backends excluding
the dir backend, then the build is broken.
Based on analysis by Osier Yang.
* configure.ac (WITH_STORAGE): Define top-level conditional.
* src/Makefile.am (mod_LTLIBRARIES): Build driver even when
storage_dir is disabled.
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Pick up storage driver for any backend, not
just dir.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd_LDADD): Likewise.
Without this fix, a VPATH build (such as used by ./autobuild.sh)
fails with messages like:

cannot read libvirtd.conf: No such file or directory at ../../build-aux/augeas-gentest.pl line 38.
Since the test files are not part of the tarball, we can generate
them into the build dir, but rather than create a subdirectory
just for the test file, it is easier to test them directly in
libvirt.git/src.
* daemon/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Factor out definition.
(test_libvirtd.aug): Look for correct file.
* src/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Use $(PERL).

Libtool is picky about linking against a module library (aka a .so);
giving lots of warnings like this in the tests directory:

Fix that by splitting things into a convenience library which can
be used directly by the tests, and making the real .so just wrap

This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.
RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.
It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.
To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.
The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.
For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

Most versions of libselinux do not contain the function

Commit 8fe455fd36 tried to work around
a regression introduced in upstream gnulib that requires gettext 0.18
or newer on all projects using bootstrap, by making libvirt require
gettext 0.18. But this fails on RHEL 6.2, which still ships gettext
0.17. Revert that change, and instead, import the latest round of
gnulib updates that fix that problem properly.
If you have already built in the window where libvirt required 0.18,
be aware that incremental updates may run into problems: this is
because 'autopoint --force' will not downgrade m4/po.m4 back to an
older version, but it must be downgraded back to 0.17 levels to work
with this patch. You may either manually remove that file then rerun
bootstrap, or it may prove easier to just clean up all non-git files
to start from a clean slate.
* bootstrap.conf: Revert minimum gettext back to 0.17.
* configure.ac: Likewise.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
Commit c9cd419cab added copying of the
makefile for translation files from gnulib. The makefile from gnulib is
of version 0.18 but the build configuration cretes macros from version
0.17 which breaks the build with message:
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from
gettext version 0.18 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version
0.17
DBus connection. The HAL device code further requires that
the DBus connection is integrated with the event loop and

The forthcoming FirewallD integration also requires a

Thus we create src/util/virdbus.{c,h} files. This contains
just one method virDBusGetSystemBus() which obtains a handle
to the single shared system bus instance, with event glue
