Since PIDs can be reused, polkit prefers to be given
a (PID,start time) pair. If given a PID on its own,
it will attempt to lookup the start time in /proc/pid/stat,
though this is subject to races.
It is safer if the client app resolves the PID start
time itself, because as long as the app has the client
socket open, the client PID won't be reused.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Ensure that the driver struct field names match the public

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

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.

undefined escape sequence (it happens to be @ itself in GNU sed,

using | rather than , or ! in the s||| operator, because | has to
be quoted in shell and is therefore less likely to appear in file

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

exist), so we removed that in commit 4c7973e. But we still

to support shutdown inhibition via dbus (whereas we originally
needed dbus only for firewall control).

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.

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

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.

On F17 at least, every time libvirtd starts we get this in syslog:

Recent work to improve support for loadable driver modules introduced
a regression in the xen driver. The legacy xen driver is now a
stateful, libvirtd driver but was not being registered when building
without driver modules.
A slight behavior change was also noted in the xen drivers when
built as driver modules. Previously, explicitly specifying a
connection URI was not necessary, but now
Compiled against library: libvirt 0.10.0
Using library: libvirt 0.10.0
Using API: QEMU 0.10.0
error: failed to get the hypervisor version
error: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64
The xen drivers need to be registered before the qemu driver since
the qemu driver will return success with a null connection URI.
This ordering is safe since the xen drivers will decline when not
running the xen kernel.

Updated the paths in the man page to reflect what the code in libvirtd
does. In addition broke out the FILES section into two subsections for
files used when run as root and files used when run as non-root.
Provided information about the defaults that libvirtd uses when running
as non-root and when XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are not set in
the environment.
REMOTE_PID_FILE is no longer used in the source or the build process but
the man page still used it resulting in no file name being displayed.
The same value that the libvirtd daemon code uses is now used in the man
page.
Currently the man page has paths that start with @sysconfdir@,
@localstatedir@ and @remote_pid_file@. The sed command attempts to
replace these during the build but unfortunately pod2man gets to the
files first and escapes the @ character resulting in the sed not
working. This removes the @ character and makes the paths correct.
Currently there is a hook function that is invoked when a
new client connection comes in, which allows an app to
setup private data. This setup will make it difficult to
serialize client state during process re-exec(). Change to
a model where the app registers a callback when creating
the virNetServerPtr instance, which is used to allocate
the client private data immediately during virNetClientPtr
construction.

Daemon uses the following pattern when dispatching APIs with typed
parameters:
VIR_ALLOC_N(params, nparams);
virDomain*(dom, params, &nparams, flags);
virTypedParameterArrayClear(params, nparams);
In case nparams was originally set to 0, virDomain* API would fill it
with the number of typed parameters it can provide and we would use this
number (rather than zero) to clear params. Because VIR_ALLOC* returns
non-NULL pointer even if size is 0, the code would end up walking
through random memory. If we were lucky enough and the memory contained
7 (VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING) at the right place, we would try to free a
random pointer and crash.
Let's make sure params stays NULL when nparams is 0.

When running directly from GIT, libvirtd attempts to locate

only works if executing libvirtd with a CWD inside the libvirt

This patch wires up the RPC protocol handlers for

Use XDG Base Directories instead of storing in home directory
Accidentally changed the umask when creating /var/run/libvirt
to 077. This prevents /var/run/libvirt being readable by non-root,
which is required for non-root to connect to libvirtd. Fix the
code so that umask 077 is only used for the non-privileged libvirtd
instance.
Only the non-privileged libvirtd instance uses $HOME. So avoid
running the code for migrating to XDG directories unless using
a non-privileged libvirtd
Commit 1c275e9a accidentally dropped the storage driver from
libvirtd, because it depended on a C preprocessor macro that
was not defined. Furthermore, if you do './configure
--without-storage-dir --with-storage-disk' or any other combination
where you explicitly build a subset of storage backends excluding
the dir backend, then the build is broken.
Based on analysis by Osier Yang.
* configure.ac (WITH_STORAGE): Define top-level conditional.
* src/Makefile.am (mod_LTLIBRARIES): Build driver even when
storage_dir is disabled.
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Pick up storage driver for any backend, not
just dir.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd_LDADD): Likewise.
Some of our rules used $(PERL), while others used 'perl'. Always
using the variable allows a developer to point to a different (often
better) perl than the default one found on $PATH.
* daemon/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote_dispatch.h): s/perl/$(PERL).
* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote/remote_client_bodies.h)
(PDWTAGS, %protocol.c, %_probes.stp): Likewise.
Without this fix, a VPATH build (such as used by ./autobuild.sh)
fails with messages like:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/remote/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/build/daemon'
../../build-aux/augeas-gentest.pl libvirtd.conf ../../daemon/test_libvirtd.aug.in test_libvirtd.aug
cannot read libvirtd.conf: No such file or directory at ../../build-aux/augeas-gentest.pl line 38.
Since the test files are not part of the tarball, we can generate
them into the build dir, but rather than create a subdirectory
just for the test file, it is easier to test them directly in
libvirt.git/src.
* daemon/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Factor out definition.
(test_libvirtd.aug): Look for correct file.
* src/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Use $(PERL).
(qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug, lxc/test_libvirtd_lxc.aug)
(locking/test_libvirt_sanlock.aug): Rename to avoid subdirectories.
(check-augeas-qemu, check-augeas-lxc, check-augeas-sanlock): Reflect
location of built tests.
* configure.ac (PERL): Substitute perl.
There was no rule forcing libvirt_qemu_probes.o to be built
before libvirt_qemu_probes.lo was used. Also libvirtd was
still referencing the .o file, rather than the .lo file.
Both the .lo and .o file must be listed as DEPENDENCIES,
otherwise libtool will unhelpfully delete the .o file
once the .lo file is created.

The driver modules all use symbols which are defined in libvirt.so.
Thus for loading of modules to work, the binary that libvirt.so
is linked to must export its symbols back to modules. If the
libvirt.so itself is dlopen()d then the RTLD_GLOBAL flag must
be set. Unfortunately few, if any, programming languages use
the RTLD_GLOBAL flag when loading modules :-( This means is it
not practical to use driver modules for any libvirt client side
drivers (OpenVZ, VMWare, Hyper-V, Remote client, test).
This patch changes the build process so only server side drivers
are built as modules (Xen, QEMU, LXC, UML)

The current unprivileged user libvirtd sockets are in the abstract

This offers a number of advantages:
* Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
* Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
* Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
* Supports reseting settings without breaking things
* Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
* Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
* Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
* Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the

DBus connection. The HAL device code further requires that
the DBus connection is integrated with the event loop and
provides such glue logic itself.
The forthcoming FirewallD integration also requires a
dbus connection with event loop integration. Thus we need
to pull the current event loop glue out of the HAL driver.
Thus we create src/util/virdbus.{c,h} files. This contains
just one method virDBusGetSystemBus() which obtains a handle
to the single shared system bus instance, with event glue
automagically setup.

Overflow can be user-induced, so it deserves more than being called
an internal error. Note that in general, 32-bit platforms have
far more places to trigger this error (anywhere the public API
used 'unsigned long' but the other side of the connection is a
64-bit server); but some are possible on 64-bit platforms (where
the public API computes the product of two numbers).
* include/libvirt/virterror.h (VIR_ERR_OVERFLOW): New error.
* src/util/virterror.c (virErrorMsg): Translate it.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSetVcpusFlags, virDomainGetVcpuPinInfo)
(virDomainGetVcpus, virDomainGetCPUStats): Use it.
* daemon/remote.c (HYPER_TO_TYPE): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockResize): Likewise.
The RPC code assumed that the array returned by the driver would be
fully populated; that is, ncpus on entry resulted in ncpus * return
value on exit. However, while we don't support holes in the middle
of ncpus, we do want to permit the case of ncpus on entry being
longer than the array returned by the driver (that is, it should be
safe for the caller to pass ncpus=128 on entry, and the driver will
stop populating the array when it hits max_id).
Additionally, a successful return implies that the caller will then
use virTypedParamArrayClear on the entire array; for this to not
free uninitialized memory, the driver must ensure that all skipped
entries are explicitly zeroed (the RPC driver did this, but not
the qemu driver).
There are now three cases:
server 0.9.10 and client 0.9.10 or newer: No impact - there were no
hypervisor drivers that supported cpu stats
server 0.9.11 or newer and client 0.9.10: if the client calls with
ncpus beyond the max, then the rpc call will fail on the client side
and disconnect the client, but the server is no worse for the wear
server 0.9.11 or newer and client 0.9.11: the server can return a
truncated array and the client will do just fine
I reproduced the problem by using a host with 2 CPUs, and doing:
virsh cpu-stats $dom --start 1 --count 2
* daemon/remote.c (remoteDispatchDomainGetCPUStats): Allow driver
to omit tail of array.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteDomainGetCPUStats):
Accommodate driver that omits tail of array.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainGetCPUStats): Document this.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetPercpuStats): Clear all
unpopulated entries.
No thanks to 64-bit windows, with 64-bit pid_t, we have to avoid
constructs like 'int pid'. Our API in libvirt-qemu cannot be
changed without breaking ABI; but then again, libvirt-qemu can
only be used on systems that support UNIX sockets, which rules
out Windows (even if qemu could be compiled there) - so for all
points on the call chain that interact with this API decision,
we require a different variable name to make it clear that we
audited the use for safety.

that uses printf on a pid_t still needs to be converted, but that
will be a separate patch.
