a2fd657b86 lxc: allow use of lxc:///system URI as preferred format
Historically we have used a bare lxc:/// URI for connecting to LXC. This
is different from our practice with QEMU, UML, Parallels, Libxl, BHyve
and VirtualBox drivers, which all use a path of '/system' or '/session'
or both.

By making LXC allow '/system', we have fully standardized on the use of
either '/system' or '/session' for all the stateful drivers that run
inside libvirtd.

Support for lxc:/// is of course maintained for back-compat.

b1c81567c7 docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration
The HTML5 doctype is simply

  <!DOCTYPE html>

no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an
extension of SGML.

XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public
or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack
instead.

have them. Problem is if we put a box around such <pre/> because

c27553b6e2 lxc: Inherit namespace feature
This patch adds feature for lxc containers to inherit namespaces.
This is very similar to what lxc-tools or docker provides.  Look
for "man lxc-start" and you will find that you can pass command
args as [ --share-[net|ipc|uts] name|pid ]. Or check out docker
networking option in which you can give --net=container:NAME_or_ID
as an option for sharing +namespace.

>From this patch you can add extra libvirt option to share
namespace in following way.

 <lxc:namespace>
   <lxc:sharenet type='netns' value='red'/>
   <lxc:shareipc type='pid' value='12345'/>
   <lxc:shareuts type='name' value='container1'/>
 </lxc:namespace>

The netns option is specific to sharenet. It can be used to
inherit from existing network namespace.

configuration. This section can contain elements named after the
capabilities like:

  <mknod state="on"/>, keep CAP_MKNOD capability
  <sys_chroot state="off"/> drop CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability

Users can restrict or give more capabilities than the default using
this mechanism.

f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

652f887144 Allow passing of command line args to LXC container
When booting a virtual machine with a kernel/initrd it is possible
to pass command line arguments using the <cmdline>...args...</cmdline>
element in the guest XML. These appear to the kernel / init process
in /proc/cmdline.

When booting a container we do not have a custom /proc/cmdline,
but we can easily set an environment variable for it. Ideally
we could pass individual arguments to the init process as a
regular set of 'char *argv[]' parameters, but that would involve
libvirt parsing the <cmdline> XML text. This can easily be added
later, even if we add the env variable now

* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add <cmdline> to be parsed for
  guests of type='exe'

e5adda7e6b website: Point main page links to libvirt driver pages
The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org
contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of
the underlying virt technologies.  The entry for KVM points to
http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example.  People coming to libvirt.org
for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're
probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies.  This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead.  It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them.  Finally, it adds a line about networking support.

v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages.

4e3117ae50 Make LXC container startup/shutdown/I/O more robust
The current LXC I/O controller looks for HUP to detect
when a guest has quit. This isn't reliable as during
initial bootup it is possible that 'init' will close
the console and let mingetty re-open it. The shutdown
of containers was also flakey because it only killed
the libvirt I/O controller and expected container
processes to gracefully follow.

Change the I/O controller such that when it see HUP
or an I/O error, it uses kill($PID, 0) to see if the
process has really quit.

Change the container shutdown sequence to use the
virCgroupKillPainfully function to ensure every
really goes away

This change makes the use of the 'cpu', 'devices'
and 'memory' cgroups controllers compulsory with
LXC

* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Document that certain cgroups
  controllers are now mandatory
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Check if PID is still
  alive before quitting on I/O error/HUP
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Use virCgroupKillPainfully
