Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been
written, therefore we should support other wiping algorithms.
Since we already require the kernel to be new enough to support
LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR, we might as well also require glibc to be
new enough to support epoll_create1().
* configure.ac (with_lxc): We require glibc 2.9 for LXC.
Reported and tested by Philipp Hahn.
Although the netcf interface driver can in theory be used by
the stateless drivers, in practice none of them want to use
it because they have different ways of dealing with interfaces.
Furthermore, if you have mingw32-netcf installed, then the
libvirt mingw32 build will fail with
../../src/interface/netcf_driver.c:644:5: error: unknown field 'close_used_without_including_unistd_h' specified in initializer
* configure.ac: disable netcf if built without libvirtd
Using automake.git (will become 1.12 someday), I got this error:
configure.ac:90: error: automatic de-ANSI-fication support has been removed
/usr/local/share/aclocal-1.11a/protos.m4:13: AM_C_PROTOTYPES is expanded from...
configure.ac:90: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
In short, pre-C89 compilers are no longer a viable portability
target. Besides, our code base already requires C99, so worrying
about pre-C89 seems pointless.
* configure.ac (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Drop, since newer automake no
longer provides it.
Using dtrace (and systemtap in general) is Linux-specific.
Running ./autobuild.sh shows that attempting a cross-build to
target mingw was mistakenly trying to build dtrace code, merely
because it was present on the compilation host.
* configure.ac (with_dtrace): Don't attempt to use dtrace when
doing a cross-build hosted on Linux but targetting elsewhere.
Reported by Daniel P. Berrange.
This ought to fix the build if you have net/if.h but do
not have struct ifreq
* configure.ac: Check for struct ifreq in net/if.h
* src/util/virnetdev.c: Conditionalize to avoid use of
struct ifreq if it does not exist
The logging APIs need to be able to generate formatted timestamps
using only async signal safe functions. This rules out using
gmtime/localtime/malloc/gettimeday(!) and much more.
Introduce a new internal API which is async signal safe.
virTimeMillisNowRaw replacement for gettimeofday. Uses clock_gettime
where available, otherwise falls back to the unsafe
gettimeofday
virTimeFieldsNowRaw replacements for gmtime(), convert a timestamp
virTimeFieldsThenRaw into a broken out set of fields. No localtime()
replacement is provided, because converting to
local time is not practical with only async signal
safe APIs.
virTimeStringNowRaw replacements for strftime() which print a timestamp
virTimeStringThenRaw into a string, using a pre-determined format, with
a fixed size buffer (VIR_TIME_STRING_BUFLEN)
For each of these there is also a version without the Raw postfix
which raises a full libvirt error. These versions are not async
signal safe
* src/Makefile.am, src/util/virtime.c, src/util/virtime.h: New files
* src/libvirt_private.syms: New APis
* configure.ac: Check for clock_gettime in -lrt
* tests/virtimetest.c, tests/Makefile.am: Test new APIs
virStorageBackendLogicalDeleteVol() could not remove the lv with error
"could not remove open logical volume" sometimes. Generally it's caused
by the volume is still active, even if lvremove tries to remove it with
option "--force".
This patch is to fix it by disbale the lv first using "lvchange -aln"
and "lvremove -f" afterwards if the direct "lvremove -f" failed.
This patch adds support for a systemd init service for libvirtd
and libvirt-guests. The libvirtd.service is *not* written to use
socket activation, since we want libvirtd to start on boot so it
can do guest auto-start.
The libvirt-guests.service is pretty lame, just exec'ing the
original init script for now. Ideally we would factor out the
functionality, into some shared tool.
Instead of
./configure --with-init-script=redhat
You can now do
./configure --with-init-script=systemd
Or better still:
./configure --with-init-script=systemd+redhat
We can also now support install of the upstart init script
* configure.ac: Add systemd, and systemd+redhat options to
--with-init-script option
* daemon/Makefile.am: Install systemd services
* daemon/libvirtd.sysconf: Add note about unused env variable
with systemd
* daemon/libvirtd.service.in: libvirtd systemd service unit
* libvirt.spec.in: Add scripts to installing systemd services
and migrating from legacy init scripts
* tools/Makefile.am: Install systemd services
* tools/libvirt-guests.init.sh: Rename to tools/libvirt-guests.init.in
* tools/libvirt-guests.service.in: systemd service unit
Following the renaming of the bridge management APIs, we can now
split the source file into 3 corresponding pieces
* src/util/virnetdev.c: APIs for any type of network interface
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c: APIs for bridge interfaces
* src/util/virnetdevtap.c: APIs for TAP interfaces
* src/util/virnetdev.c, src/util/virnetdev.h,
src/util/virnetdevbridge.c, src/util/virnetdevbridge.h,
src/util/virnetdevtap.c, src/util/virnetdevtap.h: Copied
from bridge.{c,h}
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h: Split into 3 pieces
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,

src/uml/uml_driver.c: Update #include directives
Convert the virNetDevBridgeSetSTP and virNetDevBridgeSetSTPDelay
to use ioctls instead of spawning brctl.
Implement the virNetDevBridgeGetSTP and virNetDevBridgeGetSTPDelay
methods which were declared in the header but never existed
* src/util/bridge.c: Convert to use bridge ioctls instead of brctl
While building on FreeBSD (and after fixing a ptsname_r link error),
I got this failure:
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-threads.o)(.text+0x240): In function `virThreadCreate':
util/threads-pthread.c:185: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
It turns out that gnulib used only pthread_join for LIB_PTHREAD,
but on FreeBSD, libc provides that (as a stub function); whereas
the more complex pthread_create really does require -pthread,
which gnulib tracked under [LT]LIBMULTITHREAD.
* configure.ac (LIBS): Check LIBMULTITHREAD alongside LIB_PTHREAD.
* src/Makefile.am (THREAD_LIBS): New variable.
(libvirt_util_la_LIBADD, libvirt_lxc_LDADD): Use it.
Commit 1726a73 hacked around MacOS' lack of fdatasync, since
gnulib did not have it at the time. But now that we use newer
gnulib, we can avoid the hack.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fdatasync.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Drop our own check.
Inexplicably the sanlock code all got placed under the GPLv2-only,
so libvirt's use of sanlock introduces a license incompatibility.
The sanlock developers have now rearranged the code such that there
is a 'sanlock_client.so' which is LGPLv2+ while their daemon remains
GPLv2-only. To use the new client library we need to call the new
sanlock_init and sanlock_align APIs instead of sanlock_direct_init
and sanlock_direct_align. These APIs calls are now routed via the
sanlock daemon, instead of doing direct I/O calls to disk.
For all this we require sanlock >= 1.8
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_client.so instead of sanlock.so
and fix various comments
* libvirt.spec.in: Mandate sanlock >= 1.8
* src/Makefile.am: Link to -lsanlock_client
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Use sanlock_init and
sanlock_align
Mingw lacks fsync, but gnulib provides that. Meanwhile, gnulib does
not (yet) provide fdatasync, so this is a quick hack to fake that
function on MacOS X; we can revert this configure change once gnulib
gives us a real module.
We have been implicitly relying on gnulib's largefile module being
pulled in by other modules, but it's better to make that explicit.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fsync. Make largefile use
explicit.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for fdatasync, and
fake it with fsync when not present.
When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.
To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt
* configure.ac, src/Makefile.am: Ensure libvirt.so is linked
with -z nodelete
* cfg.mk, .gitignore, tests/Makefile.am, tests/shunloadhelper.c,
tests/shunloadtest.c: A test case to unload libvirt while
a thread is still running.
Detection based on gnutls_session doesn't work because GnuTLS 2.x.y
comes with a compat.h that defines gnutls_session to gnutls_session_t.
Instead detect this based on LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR. Move this from
configure/config.h to gnutls_1_0_compat.h and make sure that all users
include gnutls_1_0_compat.h properly.
Also fix header guard in gnutls_1_0_compat.h.
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: updates for new
release
* po/*.po*: pulled translations from the transifex teams and regenerated
localizations
Right now, every re-run of configure re-evaluates whether a
static analysis tool is in use. But if you run configure under
coverity, make a tweak, and then do an incremental rebuild with
gcc but not coverity to test the tweak, then rerun a build under
coverity, then configure does not get rerun, and static analysis
ends up with lots of false positives.
This patch caches the static analysis result, and also makes it
easier to force static analysis even if the existing checks are
insufficient to detect newer versions of the static analyzer tools.
* configure.ac (lv_cv_static_analysis): New cache variable.
Gettext annoyingly modifies CPPFLAGS in-place, putting
-I/usr/local/include into the search patch if libintl headers
must be used from that location. But since we must support
automake 1.9.6 which lacks AM_CPPFLAGS, and since CPPFLAGS is used
prior to INCLUDES, this means that the build picks up the _old_
installed libvirt.h in priority to the in-tree version, leading
to all sorts of weird build failures on FreeBSD.
Fix this by teaching configure to undo gettext's actions, but
to keep any changes required by gettext at the end of INCLUDES
after all in-tree locations are used first. Also requires
adding a wrapper Makefile.am and making gnulib-tool create
just gnulib.mk files during the bootstrap process.

I went with the shorter license notice used by src/libvirt.c,
rather than spelling out the full LGPLv2+ clause into each of
these files.
* configure.ac: Declare copyright.
* all Makefile.am: Likewise.
Even though gnutls is a hard-req for libvirt, and gnutls depends
on libtasn1, that does not mean that you have to have the libtasn1
development files installed. Skip the test rather than failing
compilation in that case.
With newer gcc, the test consumed too much stack space. Move
things to static storage to fix that.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Check for libtasn1.h.
(HAVE_LIBTASN1): New automake conditional.
* tests/Makefile.am (virnettlsconvirnettlscontexttest_SOURCES)
(virnettlscontexttest_LDADD): Allow compilation without libtasn1.
* tests/virnettlscontexttest.c: Skip test if headers not present.
(struct testTLSCertReq): Alter time members.
(testTLSGenerateCert): Reflect the change.
(mymain): Reduce stack usage.
Required for a coming patch where iohelper will operate on O_DIRECT
fds. There, the user-space memory must be aligned to file system
boundaries (at least 512, but using page-aligned works better, and
some file systems prefer 64k). Made tougher by the fact that
VIR_ALLOC won't work on void *, but posix_memalign won't work on
char * and isn't available everywhere.
This patch makes some simplifying assumptions - namely, output
to an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on an empty seekable
file (hence, no need to worry about preserving existing data
on a partial block, and ftruncate will work to undo the effects
of having to round up the size of the last block written), and
input from an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on a complete
seekable file with the only possible short read at EOF.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for posix_memalign.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO): Use aligned memory, and handle
quirks of O_DIRECT on last write.
Currently, the xen statstest and reconnect tests are only compiled
if xend is running. Compile them unconditionally if xen headers
are present, but skip the tests at runtime if xend is not running.
This is in response to Eric's suggestion here

This guts the libvirtd daemon, removing all its networking and
RPC handling code. Instead it calls out to the new virServerPtr
APIs for all its RPC & networking work
As a fallout all libvirtd daemon error reporting now takes place
via the normal internal error reporting APIs. There is no need
to call separate error reporting APIs in RPC code, nor should
code use VIR_WARN/VIR_ERROR for reporting fatal problems anymore.
* daemon/qemu_dispatch_*.h, daemon/remote_dispatch_*.h: Remove
old generated dispatcher code
* daemon/qemu_dispatch.h, daemon/remote_dispatch.h: New dispatch

* daemon/dispatch.c, daemon/dispatch.h: Remove obsoleted code
* daemon/remote.c, daemon/remote.h: Rewrite for new dispatch
APIs

Since the addition of the lock manager framework in 6a943419c5
dlopen is always required, but the checks in configure wasn't changed
to reflect that. This didn't show up directly because the VirtualBox
driver linking dlopen in covered it. But disabling the VirtualBox
driver makes the build fail due to missing dlopen.
Change the dlopen check in configure to pick up dlopen when available.
Reported by Ruben Kerkhof.
Coverity 5.3.0 still outputs lots of COVERITY_* variables, but no
longer modifies COVERITY_BUILD_COMMAND in the environment. Pick
one that seems likely to stay around.
* configure.ac (STATIC_ANALYSIS): Detect newer Coverity.
In between fork and exec, a connection to sanlock is acquired
and the socket file descriptor is intionally leaked to the
child process. sanlock watches this FD for POLL_HANGUP to
detect when QEMU has exited. We don't want a rogus/compromised
QEMU from issuing sanlock RPC calls on the leaked FD though,
since that could be used to DOS other guests. By calling
sanlock_restrict() on the socket before exec() we can lock
it down.
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_restrict API
* src/locking/domain_lock.c: Restrict lock acquired in
process startup phase
* src/locking/lock_driver.h: Add VIR_LOCK_MANAGER_ACQUIRE_RESTRICT
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Add call to sanlock_restrict

Sanlock is a project that implements a disk-paxos locking
algorithm. This is suitable for cluster deployments with
shared storage.
* src/Makefile.am: Add dlopen plugin for sanlock
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Sanlock driver
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock
* libvirt.spec.in: Add a libvirt-lock-sanlock RPM
Remove some special case code that took care of mapping hyper to the
correct C types.
As the list of procedures that is allowed to map hyper to long is fixed
put it in the generator instead annotations in the .x files. This
results in simpler .x file parsing code.
Use macros for hyper to long assignments that perform overflow checks
when long is smaller than hyper. Map hyper to long long by default.
Suggested by Eric Blake.
Now that RHEL 5.6 ships with gettext 0.17, we can get out of the
stone age and use the newer gettext capabilities and improved
macros for certain configure tests.
* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Bump to 0.17.
(MKINSTALLDIRS): Delete hack that is no longer needed.
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Check for minimum gettext version.
