1c04f99970 Remove spurious whitespace between function name & open brackets
The libvirt coding standard is to use 'function(...args...)'
instead of 'function (...args...)'. A non-trivial number of
places did not follow this rule and are fixed in this patch.

30b398d5ef logging.c: Properly indent and ignore one syntax-check rule
With our fix of mkostemp (pushed as 2b435c15) we define a macro
to compile with uclibc. However, this definition is conditional
and thus needs to be properly indented. Moreover, with this definition
sc_prohibit_mkstemp syntax-check rule keeps yelling:

  src/util/logging.c:63:# define mkostemp(x,y) mkstemp(x)
  maint.mk: use mkostemp with O_CLOEXEC instead of mkstemp

Therefore we should ignore this file for this rule.

f32e3a2dd6 iohelper: fdatasync() at the end
Currently, when we are doing (managed) save, we insert the
iohelper between the qemu and OS. The pipe is created, the
writing end is passed to qemu and the reading end to the
iohelper. It reads data and write them into given file. However,
with write() being asynchronous data may still be in OS
caches and hence in some (corner) cases, all migration data
may have been read and written (not physically though). So
qemu will report success, as well as iohelper. However, with
some non local filesystems, where ENOSPACE is polled every X
time units, we may get into situation where all operations
succeeded but data hasn't reached the disk. And in fact will
never do. Therefore we ought sync caches to make sure data
has reached the block device on remote host.

7bafe009d9 util: do a better job of matching up pids with their binaries
This patch resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871201

If libvirt is restarted after updating the dnsmasq or radvd packages,
a subsequent "virsh net-destroy" will fail to kill the dnsmasq/radvd
process.

The problem is that when libvirtd restarts, it re-reads the dnsmasq
and radvd pidfiles, then does a sanity check on each pid it finds,
including checking that the symbolic link in /proc/$pid/exe actually
points to the same file as the path used by libvirt to execute the
binary in the first place. If this fails, libvirt assumes that the
process is no longer alive.

But if the original binary has been replaced, the link in /proc is set
to "$binarypath (deleted)" (it literally has the string " (deleted)"
appended to the link text stored in the filesystem), so even if a new
binary exists in the same location, attempts to resolve the link will
fail.

In the end, not only is the old dnsmasq/radvd not terminated when the
network is stopped, but a new dnsmasq can't be started when the
network is later restarted (because the original process is still
listening on the ports that the new process wants).

The solution is, when the initial "use stat to check for identical
inodes" check for identity between /proc/$pid/exe and $binpath fails,
to check /proc/$pid/exe for a link ending with " (deleted)" and if so,
truncate that part of the link and compare what's left with the
original binarypath.

A twist to this problem is that on systems with "merged" /sbin and
/usr/sbin (i.e. /sbin is really just a symlink to /usr/sbin; Fedora
17+ is an example of this), libvirt may have started the process using
one path, but /proc/$pid/exe lists a different path (indeed, on F17
this is the case - libvirtd uses /sbin/dnsmasq, but /proc/$pid/exe
shows "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq"). The further bit of code to resolve this is
to call virFileResolveAllLinks() on both the original binarypath and
on the truncated link we read from /proc/$pid/exe, and compare the
results.

The resulting code still succeeds in all the same cases it did before,
but also succeeds if the binary was deleted or replaced after it was
started.

34e8f63a32 qemu: Report errors from iohelper
Currently, we use iohelper when saving/restoring a domain.
However, if there's some kind of error (like I/O) it is not
propagated to libvirt. Since it is not qemu who is doing
the actual write() it will not get error. The iohelper does.
Therefore we should check for iohelper errors as it makes
libvirt more user friendly.

    Automatically enable systemd journal logging

    Probe to see if the systemd journal is accessible, and if
    so enable logging to the journal by default, rather than
    stderr (current default under systemd).

Previously  'LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/libvirtd' would show all debug
output to stderr, now it send debug output to the journal.

Only use the journal by default if running in daemon mode, or
if stdin is _not_ a tty. This should make libvirtd launched from
systemd use the journal, but preserve the old behavior in most
situations.

1cb1f9dabf network: always create dnsmasq hosts and addnhosts files, even if empty
This fixes the problem reported in:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868389

Previously, the dnsmasq hosts file (used for static dhcp entries, and
addnhosts file (used for additional dns host entries) were only
created/referenced on the dnsmasq commandline if there was something
to put in them at the time the network was started. Once we can update
a network definition while it's active (which is now possible with
virNetworkUpdate), this is no longer a valid strategy - if there were
0 dhcp static hosts (resulting in no reference to the hosts file on the
commandline), then one was later added, the commandline wouldn't have
linked dnsmasq up to the file, so even though we create it, dnsmasq
doesn't pay any attention.

The solution is to just always create these files and reference them
on the dnsmasq commandline (almost always, anyway). That way dnsmasq
can notice when a new entry is added at runtime (a SIGHUP is sent to
dnsmasq by virNetworkUdpate whenever a host entry is added or removed)

The exception to this is that the dhcp static hosts file isn't created
if there are no lease ranges *and* no static hosts. This is because in
this case dnsmasq won't be setup to listen for dhcp requests anyway -
in that case, if the count of dhcp hosts goes from 0 to 1, dnsmasq
will need to be restarted anyway (to get it listening on the dhcp
port). Likewise, if the dhcp hosts count goes from 1 to 0 (and there
are no dhcp ranges) we need to restart dnsmasq so that it will stop
listening on port 67. These special situations are handled in the
bridge driver's networkUpdate() by checking for ((bool)
nranges||nhosts) both before and after the update, and triggering a
dnsmasq restart if the before and after don't match.

eca72d4759 Introduce an internal API for handling file based lockspaces
The previously introduced virFile{Lock,Unlock} APIs provide a
way to acquire/release fcntl() locks on individual files. For
unknown reason though, the POSIX spec says that fcntl() locks
are released when *any* file handle referring to the same path
is closed. In the following sequence

  threadA: fd1 = open("foo")
  threadB: fd2 = open("foo")
  threadA: virFileLock(fd1)
  threadB: virFileLock(fd2)
  threadB: close(fd2)

you'd expect threadA to come out holding a lock on 'foo', and
indeed it does hold a lock for a very short time. Unfortunately
when threadB does close(fd2) this releases the lock associated
with fd1. For the current libvirt use case for virFileLock -
pidfiles - this doesn't matter since the lock is acquired
at startup while single threaded an never released until
exit.

To provide a more generally useful API though, it is necessary
to introduce a slightly higher level abstraction, which is to
be referred to as a "lockspace".  This is to be provided by
a virLockSpacePtr object in src/util/virlockspace.{c,h}. The
core idea is that the lockspace keeps track of what files are
already open+locked. This means that when a 2nd thread comes
along and tries to acquire a lock, it doesn't end up opening
and closing a new FD. The lockspace just checks the current
list of held locks and immediately returns VIR_ERR_RESOURCE_BUSY.

NB, the API as it stands is designed on the basis that the
files being locked are not being otherwise opened and used
by the application code. One approach to using this API is to
acquire locks based on a hash of the filepath.

eg to lock /var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img the application
might do

   virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew("/var/lib/libvirt/imagelocks");
   lockname = md5sum("/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
   virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, lockname);

NB, in this example, the caller should ensure that the path
is canonicalized before calculating the checksum.

It is also possible to do locks directly on resources by
using a NULL lockspace directory and then using the file
path as the lock name eg

   virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew(NULL);
   virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, "/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");

This is only safe to do though if no other part of the process
will be opening the files. This will be the case when this
code is used inside the soon-to-be-reposted virlockd daemon

f64303907b Add systemd journal support
Add support for logging to the systemd journal, using its
simple client library. The benefit over syslog is that it
accepts structured log data, so the journald can store
individual items like code file/line/func separately from
the string message. Tools which require structured log
data can then query the journal to extract exactly what
they desire without resorting to string parsing

While systemd provides a simple client library for logging,
it is more convenient for libvirt to directly write its
own client code. This lets us build up the iovec's on
the stack, avoiding the need to alloc memory when writing
log messages.

just using a plain 'int' for function params / variables.

db488c7917 network: fix dnsmasq/radvd binding to IPv6 on recent kernels
I hit this problem recently when trying to create a bridge with an IPv6
address on a 3.2 kernel: dnsmasq (and, further, radvd) would not bind to
the given address, waiting 20s and then giving up with -EADDRNOTAVAIL
(resp. exiting immediately with "error parsing or activating the config
file", without libvirt noticing it, BTW). This can be reproduced with (I
think) any kernel >= 2.6.39 and the following XML (to be used with
"virsh net-create"):

        <network>
          <name>test-bridge</name>
          <bridge name='testbr0' />
          <ip family='ipv6' address='fd00::1' prefix='64'>
          </ip>
        </network>

(it happens even when you have an IPv4, too)

The problem is that since commit [1] (which, ironically, was made to
“help IPv6 autoconfiguration”) the linux bridge code makes bridges
behave like “real” devices regarding carrier detection. This makes the
bridges created by libvirt, which are started without any up devices,
stay with the NO-CARRIER flag set, and thus prevents DAD (Duplicate
address detection) from happening, thus letting the IPv6 address flagged
as “tentative”. Such addresses cannot be bound to (see RFC 2462), so
dnsmasq fails binding to it (for radvd, it detects that "interface XXX
is not RUNNING", thus that "interface XXX does not exist, ignoring the
interface" (sic)). It seems that this behavior was enhanced somehow with
commit [2] by avoiding setting NO-CARRIER on empty bridges, but I
couldn't reproduce this behavior on my kernel. Anyway, with the “dummy
tap to set MAC address” trick, this wouldn't work.

To fix this, the idea is to get the bridge's attached device to be up so
that DAD can happen (deactivating DAD altogether is not a good idea, I
think). Currently, libvirt creates a dummy TAP device to set the MAC
address of the bridge, keeping it down. But even if we set this device
up, it is not RUNNING as soon as the tap file descriptor attached to it
is closed, thus still preventing DAD. So, we must modify the API a bit,
so that we can get the fd, keep the tap device persistent, run the
daemons, and close it after DAD has taken place. After that, the bridge
will be flagged NO-CARRIER again, but the daemons will be running, even
if not happy about the device's state (but we don't really care about
the bridge's daemons doing anything when no up interface is connected to
it).

Other solutions that I envisioned were:
      * Keeping the *-nic interface up: this would waste an fd for each
        bridge during all its life. May be acceptable, I don't really
        know.
      * Stop using the dummy tap trick, and set the MAC address directly
        on the bridge: it is possible since quite some time it seems,
        even if then there is the problem of the bridge not being
        RUNNING when empty, contrary to what [2] says, so this will need
        fixing (and this fix only happened in 3.1, so it wouldn't work
        for 2.6.39)
      * Using the --interface option of dnsmasq, but I saw somewhere
        that it's not used by libvirt for backward compatibility. I am
        not sure this would solve this problem, though, as I don't know
        how dnsmasq binds itself to it with this option.

This is why this patch does what's described earlier.

This patch also makes radvd start even if the interface is
“missing” (i.e. it is not RUNNING), as it daemonizes before binding to
it, and thus sometimes does it after the interface has been brought down
by us (by closing the tap fd), and then originally stops. This also
makes it stop yelling about it in the logs when the interface is down at
a later time.

8fd3823117 Move most of qemuProcessKill into virProcessKillPainfully
In the cgroups APIs we have a virCgroupKillPainfully function
which does the loop sending SIGTERM, then SIGKILL and waiting
for the process to exit. There is similar functionality for
simple processes in qemuProcessKill, but it is tangled with
the QEMU code. Untangle it to provide a virProcessKillPainfuly
function
