Typically when you get EOF on a stream, poll will return
POLLIN|POLLHUP at the same time. Thus when we deal with
stream reads, if we see EOF during the read, we can then
clear the VIR_STREAM_EVENT_HANGUP & VIR_STREAM_EVENT_ERROR
event bits.

By passing the flags -z relro -z now to the linker, we can force
it to resolve all library symbols at startup, instead of on-demand.
This allows it to then make the global offset table (GOT) read-only,
which makes some security attacks harder.

PIE (position independent executable) adds security to executables
by composing them entirely of position-independent code (PIC. The
.so libraries already build with -fPIC. This adds -fPIE which is
the equivalent to -fPIC, but for executables. This for allows Exec
Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers
from knowing where existing executable code is during a security
attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the
executable code in the binary, such as return-to-libc attacks.

There's a quite old bug entry here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700010
I just stumbled over that very issue on F18. Doing a little bit
debugging of the shutdown sequence, it turns out that - at least on my
F18 installation - libvirtd is shutdown *after* iscsid, which makes it
impossible for libvirt to perform the logout of the iscsi session properly.
This patch simply adds another startup dependancy on iscsid.service
which in turn delays iscsid shutdown until after libvirtd has stopped.
Having that applied, the system shuts down properly again.

This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

I did a build --without-libvirtd, then ran 'make dist'. The
resulting tarball was broken, with a complaint that make did not
know how to create libvirtd.service.in. I traced it to a use
of EXTRA_DIST inside a conditional.
* daemon/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Hoist libvirtd.service.in
outside of WITH_LIBVIRTD conditional.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887017 reports that
even though libvirt attempts to set fs.aio-max-nr via sysctl,
the file was installed with the wrong name and gets ignored by
sysctl. Furthermore, 'man systcl.d' recommends that packages
install into hard-coded /usr/lib/sysctl.d (even when libdir is
/usr/lib64), so that sysadmins can use /etc/sysctl.d for overrides.
* daemon/Makefile.am (install-sysctl, uninstall-sysctl): Use
correct location.
* libvirt.spec.in (network_files): Reflect this.
See also commit 66ff2dd, where we avoided installing these files
as executables.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd.service): Drop chmod.
* tools/Makefile.am (libvirt-guests.service): Likewise.
* src/Makefile.am (virtlockd.service, virtlockd.socket):
Likewise.
We had several different styles of .in conversion in our Makefiles:
ALLCAPS, @ALLCAPS@, @lower@, ::lower::
Canonicalize on one form, to make it easier to copy and paste
between .in files.
Also, we were using some non-portable sed constructs: \@ is an
undefined escape sequence (it happens to be @ itself in GNU sed,
but POSIX allows it to mean something else), as well as risky
behavior (failure to consistently quote things means a space
in $(sysconfdir) could throw things off; also, Autoconf recommends
using | rather than , or ! in the s||| operator, because | has to
be quoted in shell and is therefore less likely to appear in file
names than , or !).
Fix all of these uses to follow the same syntax.

* tools/virt-xml-validate.in: Likewise.

There's been a few bugs about an expected error from polkit:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873799https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872166
The error is:
Authorization requires authentication but no agent is available.
The error means that polkit needs a password, but there is no polkit
agent registered in your session. Polkit agents are the bit of UI that
pop up and actually ask for your password.
Preface the error with the string 'polkit:' so folks can hopefully
make more sense of it.
As of 1a50ba2cb0 qemu capabilities probing
takes longer since we timeout waiting for the monitor socket. When
probing qemu for different architectures this can add up so the daemon
auto shutdown timeout is reached and the client doesn't have a chance
to connect. To avoid that inhibit daemon shutdown during driver
initialization (which includes capabilities probing).

The initscript and upstart services depend on dbus starting
before libvirtd. When we first wrote the systemd script, we
tried to do the same, but we depended on dbus.target (which
does not exist) in comparison to network.target (which does
exist), so we removed that in commit 4c7973e. But we still
need dbus up and running first, especially now that we want
to support shutdown inhibition via dbus (whereas we originally
needed dbus only for firewall control).
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.target.html
explains how a target (such as network.target) is just a collection
of common services bundled together, and why we want network.target
but dbus.service.
* daemon/libvirtd.service.in (Unit): Depend on dbus starting
first.
When the session dies or when the system is going to be shut down
we issue a virStateStop() call to instruct drivers to prepare to
be stopped. This will remove any previously acquire inhibitions.

Currently to deal with auto-shutdown libvirtd must periodically
poll all stateful drivers. Thus sucks because it requires
acquiring both the driver lock and locks on every single virtual
machine. Instead pass in a "inhibit" callback to virStateInitialize
which drivers can invoke whenever they want to inhibit shutdown
due to existance of active VMs.

This will simplify the refactoring of the ESX storage driver to support
a VMFS and an iSCSI backend.
One of the tasks the storage driver needs to do is to decide which backend
driver needs to be invoked for a given request. This approach extends
virStoragePool and virStorageVol to store extra parameters:
1. privateData: stores pointer to respective backend storage driver.
2. privateDataFreeFunc: stores cleanup function pointer.
virGetStoragePool and virGetStorageVol are modfied to accept these extra
parameters as user params. virStoragePoolDispose and virStorageVolDispose
checks for cleanup operation if available.
The private data pointer allows the ESX storage driver to store a pointer
to the used backend with each storage pool and volume. This avoids the need
to detect the correct backend in each storage driver function call.
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.

It turns out that calling virNodeGetCPUMap(conn, NULL, NULL, 0)
is both useful, and with Viktor's patches, common enough to
optimize. Since this interface hasn't been released yet, we
can change the RPC call.
A bit more background on the optimization - learning the cpu count
is a single file read (/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible), but
learning the number of online cpus can possibly trigger a file
read per cpu, depending on the age of the kernel, and all wasted
if the caller passed NULL for both arguments.

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.
- Defined the wire protocol format for virNodeGetCPUMap and its
arguments
- Implemented remote method invocation (remoteNodeGetCPUMap)
- Implemented method dispatcher (remoteDispatchNodeGetCPUMap)

On F17 at least, every time libvirtd starts we get this in syslog:
libvirtd: Could not find keytab file: /etc/libvirt/krb5.tab: No such file or directory
This comes from cyrus-sasl, and happens regardless of whether the
gssapi plugin is requested, which is what actually uses
/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab.
While cyrus-sasl shouldn't complain, we can easily make it shut up by
commenting out the keytab value by default.
Also update the keytab comment to the more modern one from qemu's
sasl config file.
Add two new APIs virNetServerClientNewPostExecRestart and
virNetServerClientPreExecRestart which allow a virNetServerClientPtr

This patch adds support for SUSPEND_DISK event; both lifecycle and
separated. The support is added for QEMU, machines are changed to
PMSUSPENDED, but as QEMU sends SHUTDOWN afterwards, the state changes
to shut-off. This and much more needs to be done in order for libvirt
to work with transient devices, wake-ups etc. This patch is not
aiming for that functionality.
- Add the XML header so vim gives us syntax highlighting
- polkit-policy-file-validate hasn't existed for 3 years
- Permissions comment was not accurate
