549741ee44 docs: minor fixes to domain interface documentation
A few examples for <interface> had a type='direct' interface with no
sub-elements. This is not allowed - a type='direct' interface must
have at least a source element. (Most likely the example was copied
from the type='user' or type='ethernet' examples - they *do* allow an
instance with no sub-elements).

There was also one place that mistakenly used %lt; ... %gt; instead of
&lt; ... &gt; (for some reason, I make that typo all the time).

7bff56a0d1 build: fix 'make distcheck' issues
We had a distributed file (remote_protocol.h, which in turn was
a prereq to remote_driver.c) depending on a generated file
(libvirt_probes.h), which is a no-no for a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree (no wonder 'make distcheck' tests precisely
that situation):

     File `libvirt_driver_remote.la' does not exist.
       File `libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo' does not exist.
             Prerequisite `libvirt_probes.h' is newer than target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
            Must remake target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
Invoking recipe from Makefile:7464 to update target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/remote/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/build/libvirt-0.9.12/_build/src'
  GEN    ../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h
cannot create ../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h: Permission denied at ../../src/rpc/genprotocol.pl line 31.
make[3]: *** [../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h] Error 13

Rather than making distributed .c files depend on generated files, we
really want to ensure that compilation into .lo files is not attempted
until the generated files are present, done by this patch.  Since there
were two different sets of conditionally generated files that both
feed the .lo file, I had to introduce a new variable REMOTE_DRIVER_PREREQS
to keep automake happy.

After that fix, the next issue was that make treats './foo' and 'foo'
differently in determining whether an implicit %foo rule is applicable,
with the result that locking/qemu-sanlock.conf wasn't properly being
built at the right times.  Also, the output for using the .aug test
files was a bit verbose.

After fixing the src directory, the next error is related to the docs
directory, where the tarball is missing a stamp file and thus tries to
regenerate files that are already present:

  GEN    ../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2511, in <module>
    rebuild("libvirt")
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2495, in rebuild
    builder.serialize()
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2424, in serialize
    output = open(filename, "w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '../../docs/libvirt-api.xml'
make[5]: *** [../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp] Error 1

and fixing that exposed another case of a distributed file (generated
html) depending on a built file (libvirt.h), but only when doing an
in-tree build, because of a file glob.

* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote/remote_driver.c): Change...
(libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo): ...to the real
dependency.
($(builddir)/locking/%-sanlock.conf): Drop $(builddir), so that
rule gets run in time for test_libvirt_sanlock.aug.

is trivial to regenerate.
* docs/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Ship our stamp file.

cec281fcaa nwfilter: add DHCP snooping
This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).

Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.

The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='virbr0'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
        <parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>

All filters containing the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.

74951eadef storage backend: Add RBD (RADOS Block Device) support
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.

a3f3ab4c9c nwfilter: Add support for ipset
This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.

On the command line iptables supports ipset using

iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...

where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:

iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT

Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset 
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.

Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:

  <rule action='accept' direction='in'>
    <all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
  </rule>

The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.

FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:

 * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or

 * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
 * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
 * Supports reseting settings without breaking things
 * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
 * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
 * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
 * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the

38bd605b71 docs: mention migration issue of which credentials are used
Based on a report by Seth Vidal.  Just because _you_ can use virsh
to connect to both source and destinations does not mean that libvirtd
on the source (aka _root_) can likewise connect to the destination;
this matters when setting up a peer-to-peer migration instead of a
native one.

* docs/migration.html.in: Mention that in peer-to-peer, the owner
of the source libvirtd (usually root) must be able to connect to
the destination.

97010eb1f1 numad: Set memory policy from numad advisory nodeset
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.

This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:

  <numatune>
    <memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
  </numatune>

Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.

If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".

The following XML can now fully drive numad:

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
   <numatune>.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave'/>
   </numatune>

And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
   </numatune>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'

   <vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
   </numatume>

A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.

ae6aa8c396 blockjob: enhance xml to track mirrors across libvirtd restart
In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror.  Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front.  This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:

    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
      <mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
      ...
    </disk>

For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing).  The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase.  If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

We already list hvsupport.html.in in BUILT_SOURCES but this

adding deps to the 'all:' target instead of the 'all-am:'
target. BUILT_SOURCES is a dep of 'all', so any custom

they don't get run until BUILT_SOURCES are completely

b8bf79aad7 Support clock=variable relative to localtime
Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to
qemu/kvm Xen also knows about a variant where the offset is relative to
'localtime' instead of 'utc'.

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the
offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'.

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset
behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward
compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
incorrect XML.

Adapt the only user 'qemu' to the new name.
Extend the RelaxNG schema accordingly.
Document the new 'basis' attribute in the HTML documentation.
Adapt test for the new attribute.

06a0d57f5a Refactor the libvirt RPM daemon pieces
There are a number of flaws with our packaging of the libvirtd
daemon:

 - Installing 'libvirt' does not install 'qemu-kvm' or 'xen'
   etc which are required to actually run the hypervisor in
   question
 - Installing 'libvirt' pulls in the default configuration
   files which may not be wanted & cause problems if installed
   inside a guest
 - It is not possible to explicitly required all the peices
   required to manage a specific hypervisor

This change takes the 'libvirt' RPM and and changes it thus

 - libvirt: just a virtual package with dep on libvirt-daemon,
   libvirt-daemon-config-network & libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
 - libvirt-daemon: the libvirt daemon and related pieces
 - libvirt-daemon-config-network: the default network config
 - libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter: the network filter configs
 - libvirt-docs: the website HTML

We then introduce some more virtual (empty) packages

 - libvirt-daemon-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu'
 - libvirt-daemon-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu-kvm'
 - libvirt-daemon-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'xen'

 - libvirt-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon-qemu & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon-kvm & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon-lxc & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon-uml & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon-xen & libvirt-daemon-config-network

My intent in the future is to turn on the driver modules by
default, at which time 'libvirt-daemon' will cease to include
any specific drivers, instead we'll get libvirt-daemon-driver-XXXX
packages for each driver. The libvirt-daemon-XXX packages will
then pull in each driver that they require.

It is recommended that applications required a locally installed
libvirtd daemon, use either 'Requires: libvirt-daemon-XXXX' or
'Requires: libvirt-XXX' and *not* "Requires: libvirt-daemon"
or 'Requires: libvirt'

 * Since libvirtd must be configured for network access anyway

   so changing this default setting does not remove "out of the box"
   functionality.

0007237301 conf: forbid use of multicast mac addresses
A few times libvirt users manually setting mac addresses have
complained of a networking failure that ends up being due to a multicast
mac address being used for a guest interface. This patch prevents that
by logging an error and failing if a multicast mac address is
encountered in each of the three following cases:

1) domain xml <interface> mac address.
2) network xml bridge mac address.
3) network xml dhcp/host mac address.

There are several other places where a mac address can be input that
aren't controlled in this manner because failure to do so has no
consequences (e.g., if the address will be used to search through
existing interfaces for a match).

The RNG has been updated to add multiMacAddr and uniMacAddr along with
the existing macAddr, and macAddr was switched to uniMacAddr where
appropriate.

10a8b1f958 Add support for forcing a private network namespace for LXC guests
If no <interface> elements are included in an LXC guest XML
description, then the LXC guest will just see the host's
network interfaces. It is desirable to be able to hide the
host interfaces, without having to define any guest interfaces.

This patch introduces a new feature flag <privnet/> to allow
forcing of a private network namespace for LXC. In the future
I also anticipate that we will add <privuser/> to force a
private user ID namespace.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add support
  for <privnet/> feature. Auto-set <privnet> if any <interface>
  devices are defined
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Honour request for private network
  namespace

0f8e7ae33a qemu: Support numad
numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.

More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad

"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.

This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.

  <vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
  <vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
  <vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
  numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024

The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).

If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.

Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.

See docs update in patch for more details.

6e0ff1d402 qemu: support disk filenames with comma
If there is a disk file with a comma in the name, QEmu expects a double
comma instead of a single one (e.g., the file "virtual,disk.img" needs
to be specified as "virtual,,disk.img" in QEmu's command line). This
patch fixes libvirt to work with that feature. Fix RHBZ #801036.

Based on an initial patch by Crístian Viana.

* src/util/buf.h (virBufferEscape): Alter signature.
* src/util/buf.c (virBufferEscape): Add parameter.
(virBufferEscapeSexpr): Fix caller.
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuBuildRBDString): Likewise.  Also
escape commas in file names.
(qemuBuildDriveStr): Escape commas in file names.
* docs/schemas/basictypes.rng (absFilePath): Relax RNG to allow
commas in input file names.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/*-disk-drive-network-sheepdog.*: Update
test.
