206fc979b1 rpm: add missing dependencies
Among others, the missing radvd dependency showed up as:

error: Failed to start network ipv6net
error: Cannot find radvd - Possibly the package isn't installed: No such file
or directory

even when radvd was installed, because the RADVD preprocessor
symbol was missing at configure time.

* libvirt.spec.in (with_network): Add BuildRequires for radvd,
iptables, and ip6tables.
(BuildRequires): Add libxslt and augeas for docs and test.
(with_libvirtd): Add module-init-tools for modprobe.
(with_nwfilter): Add BuildRequires for ebtables.
(with_esx): Fix esx build on RHEL 5, thanks to curl-devel rename.

2b84e445d5 Add libxenlight driver
Add a new xen driver based on libxenlight [1], which is the primary
toolstack starting with Xen 4.1.0.  The driver is stateful and runs
privileged only.

Like the existing xen-unified driver, the libxenlight driver is
accessed with xen:// URI.  Driver selection is based on the status
of xend.  If xend is running, the libxenlight driver will not load
and xen:// connections are handled by xen-unified.  If xend is not
running *and* the libxenlight driver is available, xen://
connections are deferred to the libxenlight driver.

V6:
 - Address several code style issues noted by Daniel Veillard
 - Make drive work with xen:/// URI
 - Hold domain object reference while domain is injected in
   libvirt event loop.  Race found and fixed by Markus Groß.

V5:
 - Ensure events are unregistered when domain private data
   is destroyed.  Discovered and fixed by Markus Groß.

V4:
 - Handle restart of libvirtd, reconnecting to previously
   started domains
 - Rebased to current master
 - Tested against Xen 4.1 RC7-pre (c/s 22961:c5d121fd35c0)

V3:
  - Reserve vnc port within driver when autoport=yes

V2:
  - Update to Xen 4.1 RC6-pre (c/s 22940:5a4710640f81)
  - Rebased to current master
  - Plug memory leaks found by Stefano Stabellini and valgrind
  - Handle SHUTDOWN_crash domain death event

80e6200f32 build: improve rpm generation for distro backports
When building for an older distro, it's convenient to just
tell rpmbuild to define dist (for example, to .el6_0), rather
than also remembering to define rhel to 6.

* libvirt.spec.in: Guess %{rhel} based on %{dist}.
Based on an idea by Jiri Denemark.

5754dbd56d Give each virtual network bridge its own fixed MAC address
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609463

The problem was that, since a bridge always acquires the MAC address
of the connected interface with the numerically lowest MAC, as guests
are started and stopped, it was possible for the MAC address to change
over time, and this change in the network was being detected by
Windows 7 (it sees the MAC of the default route change), so on each
reboot it would bring up a dialog box asking about this "new network".

The solution is to create a dummy tap interface with a MAC guaranteed
to be lower than any guest interface's MAC, and attach that tap to the
bridge as soon as it's created. Since all guest MAC addresses start
with 0xFE, we can just generate a MAC with the standard "0x52, 0x54,
0" prefix, and it's guaranteed to always win (physical interfaces are
never connected to these bridges, so we don't need to worry about
competing numerically with them).

Note that the dummy tap is never set to IFF_UP state - that's not
necessary in order for the bridge to take its MAC, and not setting it
to UP eliminates the clutter of having an (eg) "virbr0-nic" displayed
in the output of the ifconfig command.

I chose to not auto-generate the MAC address in the network XML
parser, as there are likely to be consumers of that API that don't
need or want to have a MAC address associated with the
bridge.

Instead, in bridge_driver.c when the network is being defined, if
there is no MAC, one is generated. To account for virtual network
configs that already exist when upgrading from an older version of
libvirt, I've added a %post script to the specfile that searches for
all network definitions in both the config directory
(/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks) and the state directory
(/var/lib/libvirt/network) that are missing a mac address, generates a
random address, and adds it to the config (and a matching address to
the state file, if there is one).

df1011ca8e storage: Allow to delete device mapper disk partition
The name convention of device mapper disk is different, and 'parted'
can't be used to delete a device mapper disk partition. e.g.

Name                 Path
-----------------------------------------
3600a0b80005ad1d7000093604cae912fp1 /dev/mapper/3600a0b80005ad1d7000093604cae912fp1

Error: Expecting a partition number.

This patch introduces 'dmsetup' to fix it.

Changes:
  - New function "virIsDevMapperDevice" in "src/utils/utils.c"
  - remove "is_dm_device" in "src/storage/parthelper.c", use
    "virIsDevMapperDevice" instead.
  - Requires "device-mapper" for 'with-storage-disk" in "libvirt.spec.in"
  - Check "dmsetup" in 'configure.ac' for "with-storage-disk"
  - Changes on "src/Makefile.am" to link against libdevmapper
  - New entry for "virIsDevMapperDevice" in "src/libvirt_private.syms"

Changes from v1 to v3:
  - s/virIsDeviceMapperDevice/virIsDevMapperDevice/g
  - replace "virRun" with "virCommand"
  - sort the list of util functions in "libvirt_private.syms"
  - ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) for virIsDevMapperDevice declaration.

cee61fc298 Imprint all logs with version + package build information
The logging functions are enhanced so that immediately prior to
the first log message being printed to any output channel, the
libvirt package version will be printed.

eg

 $ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
 18:13:28.013: 17536: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7
 18:13:28.013: 17536: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers
 ...

The 'configure' script gains two new arguments which can be
used as

   --with-packager="Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10"
   --with-packager-version="1.fc14"

to allow distros to append a custom string with package specific
data.

The RPM specfile is modified so that it appends the RPM version,
the build host, the build date and the packager name.

eg

 $ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
 18:14:52.086: 17551: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7, package: 1.fc13 (Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10)
 18:14:52.086: 17551: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers

Thus when distro packagers receive bug reports they can clearly
see what version was in use, even if the bug reporter mistakenly
or intentionally lies about version/builds

* src/util/logging.c: Output version data prior to first log message
* libvirt.spec.in: Include RPM release, date, hostname & packager
* configure.ac: Add --with-packager & --with-packager-version args

3b13d25232 build: fix building error when building without libvirtd
When I build libvirt without libvirtd, I receive some errors:
cp: cannot stat `/home/wency/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libvirt-0.8.6-1.el6.x86_64/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml': No such file or directory

My build step:
# ./autogen.sh --without-libvirtd
# make dist
# rpmbuild --nodeps --define "_sourcedir `pwd`" --define "_without_libvirtd 1" -ba libvirt.spec

The reason is we disable network when we do not build libvirt daemon in configure.ac.
After fixing this bug, I build libvirt without libvirtd, I receive other errors:
RPM build errors:

318a4f6be9 spec: Automatically turn on cgconfig service
A number of the libvirt APIs require the use of cgroups. This is not
enabled by default on a RHEL6 install. After discussion with cgroups
team, it was decided that upon installation of the libvirt RPM, we
should automatically turn on the cgroups service. This will activate a
default configuration that turns on all cgroups controllers libvirt
requires for full operation.

f970d802ab rpm: fix /var/lib/libvirt permissions
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649511

Regression of forcing 0700 permissions (which breaks guest startup
because the qemu user can't see /var/lib/libvirt/*.monitor) was
introduced in commit 66823690e, as part of libvirt 0.8.2.

* libvirt.spec.in (%files): Drop %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt,
since libvirt depends on libvirt-client.
(%files client): Guarantee 755 permissions on
%(_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt, since the qemu user must be able to
do pathname resolution to a subdirectory.

968eb4e5cd Add dtrace static probes in libvirtd
Adds initial support for dtrace static probes in libvirtd
daemon, assuming use of systemtap dtrace compat shim on
Linux. The probes are inserted for network client connect,
disconnect, TLS handshake states and authentication protocol
states.

This can be tested by running the xample program and then
attempting to connect with any libvirt client (virsh,
virt-manager, etc).

 # stap examples/systemtap/client.stp
  Client fd=44 connected readonly=0
  Client fd=44 auth polkit deny pid:24997,uid:500
  Client fd=44 disconnected
  Client fd=46 connected readonly=1
  Client fd=46 auth sasl allow test
  Client fd=46 disconnected

The libvirtd.stp file should also really not be required,
since it is duplicated info that is already available in
the main probes.d definition file. A script to autogenerate
the .stp file is needed, either in libvirtd tree, or better
as part of systemtap itself.

* Makefile.am: Add examples/systemtap subdir
* autobuild.sh: Disable dtrace for mingw32
* configure.ac: Add check for dtrace

8f680ad3b8 Basic framework for auditing integration
Integrate with libaudit.so for auditing of important operations.
libvirtd gains a couple of config entries for auditing. By
default it will enable auditing, if its enabled on the host.
It can be configured to force exit if auditing is disabled
on the host. It will can also send audit messages via libvirt
internal logging API

Places requiring audit reporting can use the VIR_AUDIT
macro to report data. This is a no-op unless auditing is
enabled

0df552cd37 qemu: let qemu group look below /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/
Vdsm needs to communicate with its guest agent via unix domain socket,
which qemu creates due to the following domain xml device:

    <channel type='unix'>
      <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm'/>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels/fcp-xp-1.com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm'/>
    </channel>

The location of the socket below /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels makes
sense, to humans and selinux policy alike. However, that socket should
be accessible to vdsm, too.

Due to other (storage) reasons, vdsm is to join the "qemu" group. With
this patch, vdsm can look below /var/lib/libvirt/qemu and connect to the
socket.

The socket itself should be chmod'ed to allow qemu group read/write, but
that's for another project.

e26672f786 bridge: Add --dhcp-no-override option to dnsmasq
--dhcp-no-override description from dnsmasq man page:

      Disable  re-use  of  the  DHCP servername and filename fields as
      extra option space. If it can, dnsmasq moves the boot server and
      filename  information  (from  dhcp-boot)  out of their dedicated
      fields into DHCP options. This make extra space available in the
      DHCP  packet  for options but can, rarely, confuse old or broken
      clients. This flag forces "simple and safe" behaviour  to  avoid
      problems in such a case.

It seems some virtual network card ROMs are this old/buggy so let's add
--dhcp-no-override as a workaround for them. We don't use extra DHCP
options so this should be safe. The option was added in dnsmasq-2.41,
which becomes the minimum required version.

1a5c465ee5 Fix libvirt-guests init script
Firstly, the init script has to touch its file under /var/lock/subsys
when started, otherwise the system would think it's not running and
won't stop it during shutdown.

Secondly, for some reason there is a policy to automatically enable
init scripts when they are installed, so let the specfile do this. We
also need to start the init script to ensure it will be stopped during
the first shutdown after installing the package.

Also $LISTFILE should be enclosed by quotes everywhere as suggested by
Eric.

 - fix the Requires: libvirt-client to use %{name} to allow easy
   renaming
 - when building ESX support one need libcurl-devel
 - remove Makefile[.in] from xml/nwfilter in the docs, as this breaks
   parallel install ation of i686 and x86_64 packages
 - don't include nwfilter config files if not building with the daemon
all relatively trivial which is why I packed them together
* libvirt.spec.in: fix various small bugs

f6770e8665 Run test suite as part of RPM build process
To ensure that patches in the RPM don't break any functionality
it is neccessary to run the test suites during build. It currently
has 3 tests disabled

 - daemon-conf: this is totally broken, since it relies on
   being able to resolve the 'libvirt' group & being able to
   resolve hostnames at daemon startup. This isn't possible
   in a mock build root
 - seclabeltest: fails to initialize selinux in the mock
   build root. Possibly fixable
 - nodeinfotest: broken on s390 + ppc - this is a real bug

* libvirt.spec.in: Add a %check section, with 3 tests
   temporarily disabled

3bf24abc8c nwfilter: Support for learning a VM's IP address
This patch implements support for learning a VM's IP address. It uses
the pcap library to listen on the VM's backend network interface (tap)
or the physical ethernet device (macvtap) and tries to capture packets
with source or destination MAC address of the VM and learn from DHCP
Offers, ARP traffic, or first-sent IPv4 packet what the IP address of
the VM's interface is. This then allows to instantiate the network
traffic filtering rules without the user having to provide the IP
parameter somewhere in the filter description or in the interface
description as a parameter. This only supports to detect the parameter
IP, which is for the assumed single IPv4 address of a VM. There is not
support for interfaces that may have multiple  IP addresses (IP
aliasing) or IPv6 that may then require more than one valid IP address
to be detected. A VM can have multiple independent interfaces that each
uses a different IP address and in that case it will be attempted to
detect each one of the address independently.

So, when for example an interface description in the domain XML has
looked like this up to now:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='mybridge'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
        <parameter name='IP' value='10.2.3.4'/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>

you may omit the IP parameter:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='mybridge'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
    </interface>

Internally I am walking the 'tree' of a VM's referenced network filters
and determine with the given variables which variables are missing. Now,
the above IP parameter may be missing and this causes a libvirt-internal
thread to be started that uses the pcap library's API to listen to the
backend interface  (in case of macvtap to the physical interface) in an
attempt to determine the missing IP parameter. If the backend interface
disappears the thread terminates assuming the VM was brought down. In
case of a macvtap device a timeout is being used to wait for packets
from the given VM (filtering by VM's interface MAC address). If the VM's
macvtap device disappeared the thread also terminates. In all other
cases it tries to determine the IP address of the VM and will then apply
the rules late on the given interface, which would have happened
immediately if the IP parameter had been explicitly given. In case an
error happens while the firewall rules are applied, the VM's backend
interface is 'down'ed preventing it to communicate. Reasons for failure
for applying the network firewall rules may that an ebtables/iptables
command failes or OOM errors. Essentially the same failure reasons may
occur as when the firewall rules are applied immediately on VM start,
except that due to the late application of the filtering rules the VM
now is already running and cannot be hindered anymore from starting.
Bringing down the whole VM would probably be considered too drastic.
While a VM's IP address is attempted to be determined only limited
updates to network filters are allowed. In particular it is prevented
that filters are modified in such a way that they would introduce new
variables.

A caveat: The algorithm does not know which one is the appropriate IP
address of a VM. If the VM spoofs an IP address in its first ARP traffic
or IPv4 packets its filtering rules will be instantiated for this IP
address, thus 'locking' it to the found IP address. So, it's still
'safer' to explicitly provide the IP address of a VM's interface in the
filter description if it is known beforehand.

8cf0ed02be nwfilter: Add filter schema for nwfilter XML, extend domain XML schema
This patch adds a relaxng nwfilter schema along with a test that
verifies all the test output XML against the schema. The input XMLs
contain a lot of intentional out-of-range values that make them fail the
schema verification, so I am not verifying against those.
