Set up the types for the domainMemoryStats function and insert it into the
virDriver structure definition. Because of static initializers, update
every driver and set the new field to NULL.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: new API
* src/driver.h src/*/*_driver.c src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: add the new
entry to the driver structure
* python/generator.py: fix compiler errors, the actual python binding is

If a virtual machine is destroyed on a ESX server then immediately
undefining this virtual machine on a vCenter may fail, because the
vCenter has not been informed about the status change yet. Therefore,
destroy a virtual machine on a vCenter if available, so the vCenter
is up-to-date when the virtual machine should be undefined.
Undefining a virtual machine on an ESX server leaves a orphan on the
vCenter behind. So undefine a virtual machine on a vCenter if available
to fix this problem.
If an ESX host is managed by a vCenter, it knows the IP address of the
vCenter. Setting the vCenter query parameter to * allows to connect to the
vCenter known to an ESX host without the need to specify its IP address
or hostname explicitly.
esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive() lookup a domain by asking
ESX for all known domains and searching manually for the one with the
matching UUID. This is inefficient. The VI API allows to lookup by UUID
directly: FindByUuid().
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: change esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive()
to use esxVI_LookupVirtualMachineByUuid(), also reorder some functions to
keep them in sync with the driver struct
Questions can block tasks, to handle them automatically the driver can answers
them with the default answer. The auto_answer query parameter allows to enable
this automatic question handling.
* src/esx/README: add a detailed explanation for automatic question handling
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: add automatic question handling for all task related
driver functions
* src/esx/esx_util.[ch]: add handling for the auto_answer query parameter
* src/esx/esx_vi.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_methods.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_types.[ch]:
add new VI API methods and types and additional helper functions for
automatic question handling
Commit 33a198c1f6 increased the gcrypt
version requirement to 1.4.2 because the GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION
define was added in this version.
The configure script doesn't check for the gcrypt version. To support
gcrypt versions < 1.4.2 change the virTLSThreadImpl initialization
to use GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_VERSION only if it's defined.
* configure.in: If you pass libraries in the LDFLAGS variable, and then
try AC_CHECK_FUNCS to find whether a function is present or not,
it'll fail badly when using the --as-needed linker flag. Instead,
pass the libraries through the LIBS library, so that they are passed
after the conftest.c source file and the tests are done properly.
* configure.in: With the previous logic, if libhal_get_all_devices
function was not found, HAVE_HAL would be defined for the preprocessor
but it wouldn't be enabled in automake conditionals, causing the final
link to fail with missing references to HAL entries.
Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
&forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
&disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
to the hypervisor
Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
allowed model names:
cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor

XML schema for CPU flags
Firstly, CPU topology and model with optional features have to be
advertised in host capabilities:
<host>
<cpu>
<arch>ARCHITECTURE</arch>
<features>
<!-- old-style features are here -->
</features>
<model>NAME</model>
<topology sockets="S" cores="C" threads="T"/>
<feature name="NAME"/>
</cpu>
...
</host>
Secondly, drivers which support detailed CPU specification have to
advertise
it in guest capabilities:
<guest>
...
<features>
<cpuselection/>
</features>
</guest>
And finally, CPU may be configured in domain XML configuration:
<domain>
...
<cpu match="MATCH">
<model>NAME</model>
<topology sockets="S" cores="C" threads="T"/>
<feature policy="POLICY" name="NAME"/>
</cpu>
</domain>
Where MATCH can be one of:
- 'minimum' specified CPU is the minimum requested CPU
- 'exact' disable all additional features provided by host CPU
- 'strict' fail if host CPU doesn't exactly match
POLICY can be one of:
- 'force' turn on the feature, even if host doesn't have it
- 'require' fail if host doesn't have the feature
- 'optional' match host
- 'disable' turn off the feature, even if host has it
- 'forbid' fail if host has the feature
'force' and 'disable' policies turn on/off the feature regardless of its
availability on host. 'force' is unlikely to be used but its there for
completeness since Xen and VMWare allow it.
'require' and 'forbid' policies prevent a guest from being started on a host
which doesn't/does have the feature. 'forbid' is for cases where you disable
the feature but a guest may still try to access it anyway and you don't want
it to succeed.
'optional' policy sets the feature according to its availability on host.
When a guest is booted on a host that has the feature and then migrated to
another host, the policy changes to 'require' as we can't take the feature
away from a running guest.
Default policy for features provided by host CPU but not specified in domain
configuration is set using match attribute of cpu tag. If 'minimum' match is
requested, additional features will be treated as if they were specified
with 'optional' policy. 'exact' match implies 'disable' policy and 'strict'
match stands for 'forbid' policy.

RelaxNG schemas to add CPU flags support
GNUTLS uses gcrypt for its crypto functions. gcrypt requires
that the app/library initializes threading before using it.
We don't want to force apps using libvirt to know about
gcrypt, so we make virInitialize init threading on their
behalf. This location also ensures libvirtd has initialized
it correctly. This initialization is required even if libvirt
itself were only using one thread, since another non-libvirt
library (eg GTK-VNC) could also be using gcrypt from another
thread
* src/libvirt.c: Register thread functions for gcrypt
* configure.in: Add -lgcrypt to linker flags
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Fix IsPersistent() and IsActivE()
methods on storage pools to use 'storagePrivateData' instead
of 'privateData'. Also fix naming convention of objects
* src/esx/esx_vi.c (esxVI_List_CastFromAnyType): For invalid
inputs, fail right away. Do not "goto failure" where a NULL
input pointer would be dereferenced.
* src/esx/esx_util.c (esxUtil_ParseDatastoreRelatedPath): Return
right away for invalid inputs, rather than using them (which would
dereference NULL pointers) in clean-up code.
The virFileResolveLink utility function relied on the POSIX guarantee
that stat.st_size of a symlink is the length of the value. However,
on some types of file systems, it is invalid, so do not rely on it.
Use gnulib's areadlink module instead.
* bootstrap (modules): Add areadlink.
* src/util/util.c: Include "areadlink.h".
Let areadlink perform the readlink and malloc.
* configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink. No need,
since it's presence is guaranteed by gnulib.
* src/xen/xm_internal.c (xenXMConfigGetULong): Remove useless and
misleading test (always false) for val->str == NULL before code that
always dereferences val->str. "val" comes from virConfGetValue, and
at that point, val->str is guaranteed to be non-NULL.
(xenXMConfigGetBool): Likewise.
* src/util/conf.c (virConfSetValue): Ensure that vir->str is never NULL,
not even if someone tries to set such a value via virConfSetValue.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (doNonTunnelMigrate): Don't let a
NULL "uri_out" provoke a NULL-dereference in doNativeMigrate:
supply omitted goto-after-qemudReportError.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigratePrepareTunnel): Upon an
out of memory error, we would end up with unixfile==NULL and attempt
to unlink(NULL). Skip the unlink when it's NULL.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Set
"event" to NULL after qemuDomainEventQueue frees it, so a
subsequent free (after endjob label) upon qemuMonitorStartCPUs
failure does not cause a double free.
The description mismatched the actual structure since the video element
was introduced. The nvram attribute is actually called vram. Specify the
unit of the vram attribute.
Commit 66137344fe changed the Python detection
mechanism in configure to use AM_PATH_PYTHON. This results in a changed
install location for the Python bindings, at least on Fedora 12 64bit systems.
Before this commit libvirt.py and libvirtmod.so were installed to
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages
After this commit they are installed to
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
Mixed Python packages (containing *.py and *.so files) should be installed to
the pyexecdir directory detected by AM_PATH_PYTHON.
This restores the install location from before the AM_PATH_PYTHON commit.
* configure.in: remove unnecessary pythondir export
* python/Makefile.am: switch from pythondir to pyexecdir
* tools/virsh.c (vshCommandParse): Avoid double-free of "tkdata".
Set it to NULL immediately after free in the (cmd == NULL) case,
just as in the other case, in case the final free(tkdata) is
triggered by a syntax error.
