Python3 versions less than 3.7 have very unhelpful handling
of the C locale where they assume data is 7-bit only. This
violates POSIX which requires the C locale to be 8-bit clean.
Python3 >= 3.7 now assumes that the C locale is always UTF-8.
Set env variables to force LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8 so that
we get UTF-8 handling on all python versions. Note we do
not use C.UTF-8 since not all C libraries support that.

Although <interface type='ethernet'> has always been able to use an
existing tap device, this is just a coincidence due to the fact that
the same ioctl is used to create a new tap device or get a handle to
an existing device.
Even then, once we have the handle to the device, we still insist on
doing extra setup to it (setting the MAC address and IFF_UP). That
*might* be okay if libvirtd is running as a privileged process, but if
libvirtd is running as an unprivileged user, those attempted
modifications to the tap device will fail (yes, even if the tap is set
to be owned by the user running libvirtd). We could avoid this if we
knew that the device already existed, but as stated above, an existing
device and new device are both accessed in the same manner, and
anyway, we need to preserve existing behavior for those who are
already using pre-existing devices with privileged libvirtd (and
allowing/expecting libvirt to configure the pre-existing device).
In order to cleanly support the idea of using a pre-existing and
pre-configured tap device, this patch introduces a new optional
attribute "managed" for the interface <target> element. This
attribute is only valid for <interface type='ethernet'> (since all
other interface types have mandatory config that doesn't apply in the
case where we expect the tap device to be setup before we
get it). The syntax would look something like this:
<interface type='ethernet'>
<target dev='mytap0' managed='no'/>
...
</interface>
This patch just adds managed to the grammar and parser for <target>,
but has no functionality behind it.
(NB: when managed='no' (the default when not specified is 'yes'), the
target dev is always a name explicitly provided, so we don't
auto-remove it from the config just because it starts with "vnet"
(VIR_NET_GENERATED_TAP_PREFIX); this makes it possible to use the
same pattern of names that libvirt itself uses when it automatically
creates the tap devices.)

Both are installed in the libvirt-docs sub-RPM, with a full copy

docs: Introduce $(devhelphtml_generated)
Our XSLT magic generates one Devhelp-compatible HTML file
per documentation module, but so far we have only shipped
and installed documentation for virterror.
Now that we have $(modules), however, we can generate the
list of files the same way we do for regular documentation
and make sure we always ship and install everything.
That this bug went unnoticed for so long is a sign of how few
people are using the devhelp docs. The only commits to the devhelp
code since it was first introduced have been fixing various build
problems that hit.
The only obvious difference between the two sets of docs is the CSS
styling in use. Overall devhelp does not look compelling enough to
justify having two duplicated sets of API docs. Eliminating it will
reduce the amount of XSL code we are carrying in the tree which is
an attractive benefit.

Historically URIs handled by the remote driver will always connect to
the libvirtd UNIX socket. There will now be one daemon per driver, and
each of these has its own UNIX sockets to connect to.
It will still be possible to run the traditional monolithic libvirtd
though, which will have the original UNIX socket path.
In addition there is a virproxyd daemon that doesn't run any drivers,
but provides proxying for clients accessing libvirt over IP sockets, or
tunnelling to the legacy libvirtd UNIX socket path.
Finally when running inside a daemon, the remote driver must not reject
connections unconditionally. For example, the QEMU driver needs to be
able to connect to the network driver. The remote driver must thus be
willing to handle connections even when inside the daemon, provided no
local driver is registered.
This refactoring enables the remote driver to be able to connect to the
per-driver daemons. The URI parameter "mode" accepts the values "auto",
"direct" and "legacy" to control which daemons are connected to.
The client side libvirt.conf config file also supports a "remote_mode"
setting which is used if the URI parameter is not set.
If neither the config file or URI parameter set a mode, then "auto"
is used, whereby the client looks to see which sockets actually exist
right now.
The remote driver will only ever spawn the per-driver daemons, or
the legacy libvirtd. It won't ever try to spawn virtproxyd, as
that is only there for IP based connectivity, or for access from
legacy remote clients.
If connecting to a remote host over any kind of ssh tunnel, for now we
must assume only the legacy socket exists. A future patch will introduce
a netcat replacement that is tailored for libvirt to make remote
tunnelling easier.
The configure arg '--with-remote-default-mode=legacy|direct' allows
packagers to set a default at build time. If not given, it will default
to legacy mode.
Eventually the default will switch to direct mode. Distros can choose
to do the switch earlier if desired. The main blocker is testing and
suitable SELinux/AppArmor policies.

There is no restriction on maximum value of PCI domain. In fact,
Linux kernel uses plain atomic inc when assigning PCI domains:
drivers/pci/pci.c:static int pci_get_new_domain_nr(void)
drivers/pci/pci.c-{
drivers/pci/pci.c- return atomic_inc_return(&__domain_nr);
drivers/pci/pci.c-}
Of course, this function is called only if kernel was compiled
without PCI domain support or ACPI did not provide PCI domain.
However, QEMU still has the same restriction as us: in
set_pci_host_devaddr() QEMU checks if domain isn't greater than
0xffff. But one can argue that that's a QEMU limitation. We still
want to be able to cope with other hypervisors that don't have
this limitation (possibly).

Introduce a bunch of new public APIs related to backup checkpoints.
Checkpoints are modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both
represent a point in time of the guest), although a snapshot exists
with the intent of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint
exists to make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time. We may have a future hypervisor that can completely manage
checkpoints without libvirt metadata, but the first two planned
hypervisors (qemu and test) both always use libvirt for tracking
metadata relations between checkpoints, so for now, I've deferred
the counterpart of virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata for a separate
API addition at a later date if there is ever a need for it.
Note that until we allow snapshots and checkpoints to exist
simultaneously on the same domain (although the actual prevention of
this will be in a separate patch for the sake of an easier revert down
the road), that it is not possible to branch out to create more than
one checkpoint child to a given parent, although it may become
possible later when we revert to a snapshot that coincides with a
checkpoint. This also means that for now, the decision of which
checkpoint becomes the parent of a newly created one is the only
checkpoint with no child (so while there are APIs for dealing with a
current snapshot, we do not need those for checkpoints). We may end
up exposing a notion of a current checkpoint later, but it's easier to
add stuff when proven needed than to blindly support it now and wish
we hadn't exposed it.
The following map shows the API relations to snapshots, with new APIs
on the right:
Operate on a domain object to create/redefine a child:
virDomainSnapshotCreateXML virDomainCheckpointCreateXML
Operate on a child object for lifetime management:
virDomainSnapshotDelete virDomainCheckpointDelete
virDomainSnapshotFree virDomainCheckpointFree
virDomainSnapshotRef virDomainCheckpointRef
Operate on a child object to learn more about it:
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc virDomainCheckpointGetXMLDesc
virDomainSnapshotGetConnect virDomainCheckpointGetConnect
virDomainSnapshotGetDomain virDomainCheckpointGetDomain
virDomainSnapshotGetName virDomainCheckpiontGetName
virDomainSnapshotGetParent virDomainCheckpiontGetParent
virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata (deferred for later)
virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent (no counterpart, see note above)
Operate on a domain object to list all children:
virDomainSnapshotNum (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllSnapshots virDomainListAllCheckpoints
Operate on a child object to list descendents:
virDomainSnapshotNumChildren (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren virDomainCheckpointListAllChildren
