Up until now there are just two ways how to specify UEFI paths to
libvirt. The first one is editing qemu.conf, the other is editing
qemu_conf.c and recompile which is not that fancy. So, new
configure option is introduced: --with-loader-nvram which takes a
list of pairs of UEFI firmware and NVRAM store. This way, the
compiled in defaults can be passed during compile time without
need to change the code itself.

Introduce a parser/formatter for the xl config format. Since the
deprecation of xm/xend, the VM config file format has diverged as
new features are added to libxl. This patch adds support for parsing
and formating the xl config format. It supports the existing xm config
format, plus adds support for spice graphics and xl disk config syntax.
Disk config is specified a bit differently in xl as compared to xm. In
xl, disk config consists of comma-separated positional parameters and
keyword/value pairs separated by commas. Positional parameters are
specified as follows
target, format, vdev, access
Supported keys for key=value options are
devtype, backendtype
The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form. For
example the following xl disk config are equivalent
/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
/dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume
See $xen_sources/docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt for more details.
xl disk config is parsed with the help of xlu_disk_parse() from
libxlutil, libxl's utility library. Although the library exists
in all Xen versions supported by the libxl virt driver, only
recently has the corresponding header file been included. A check
for the header is done in configure.ac. If not found, xlu_disk_parse()
is declared externally.

Introduce a Xen xl parser
This parser allows for users to convert the new xl disk format and
spice graphics config to libvirt xml format and vice versa. Regarding
the spice graphics config, the code is pretty much straight forward.
For the disk {formating, parsing}, this parser takes care of the new
xl format which include positional parameters and key/value parameters.
In xl format disk config a <diskspec> consists of parameters separated by
commas. If the parameters do not contain an '=' they are automatically
assigned to certain options following the order below
target, format, vdev, access
The above are the only mandatory parameters in the <diskspec> but there
are many more disk config options. These options can be specified as
key=value pairs. This takes care of the rest of the options such as
devtype, backend, backendtype, script, direct-io-safe,
The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form
for example
/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
/dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume
are interpleted to one config.
In xm format, the above diskspec would be written as
phy:/dev/vg/guest-volume,hda,w
The disk parser is based on the same parser used successfully by
the Xen project for several years now. Ian Jackson authored the
scanner, which is used by this commit with mimimal changes. Only
the PREFIX option is changed, to produce function and file names
more consistent with libvirt's convention.

Executing prlctl command is not an optimal way to interact with
Parallels Cloud Server (PCS), it's better to use parallels SDK,
which is a remote API to paralles dispatcher service.
We prepared opensource version of this SDK and published it on
github, it's distributed under LGPL license. Here is a git repo:
https://github.com/Parallels/parallels-sdk.
To build with parallels SDK user should get compiler and linker
options from pkg-config 'parallels-sdk' file. So fix checks in
configure script and build with parallels SDK, if that pkg-config
file exists and add gcc options to makefile.

Perl is necessary to our build processing, it will invoke a lot of
generating script, like: gendispatch.pl. If perl is missing, it's
ok for build from git checkout, because autogen.sh will tell you.
But for compiling from a release tarball, configure will just record
a missing message, and continue, then build failed, like:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2014-August/msg00050.html
So need to enhance configure script to handle this negative case.

Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.
Features supported:
- pool-start, pool-stop
- pool-info
- vol-list
- vol-create / vol-delete
Pool definition looks like that:
<pool type='zfs'>
<name>myzfspool</name>
<source>
<name>actualpoolname</name>
</source>
</pool>
The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.
User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.
A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
There's this question on the list that is asked over and over again.
How do I get {cpu, memory, ...} usage in percentage? Or its modified
version: How do I plot nice graphs like virt-manager does?
It would be nice if we have an example to inspire people. And that's
what domtop should do. Yes, it could be written in different ways, but
I've chosen this one as I think it show explicitly what users need to
implement in order to imitate virt-manager's graphing.
Note: The usage is displayed from host perspective. That is, how much
host CPUs the domain is using. But it should be fairly simple to
switch do just guest CPU usage if needed.

The configure definition previously always defined the GLUSTER_CLI macro
and thus the code needing it wasn't compiled out if the tool wasn't
accessible.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072714
Use the "gluster" command line tool to retrieve information about remote
volumes on a gluster server to allow storage pool source lookup.
Unfortunately gluster doesn't provide a management library so that we
could use that directly, instead the RPC calls are hardcoded in the
command line tool.
Commit 5e1d5dd moved the functions using isciadm to util/viriscsi.c,
but ISCSIADM was only defined when the iscsi backend was compiled in.
Define it unconditionally to fix the build (and allow testing
of viriscsi.c) even if iscsi backend is disabled.
configure check for character devices lock path calls
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED for VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH even if
$with_chrdev_lock_files = "no".
So the locking code in conf/virchrdev.c:
#ifdef VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH
is compiled in even if it shouldn't, because VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH
is defined as "no", so it tries to create lock files with strange
lock path like 'no/LCK..'.
Fix that by calling AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED only if $with_chrdev_lock_files
is not 'no'.
Systemd does not forget about the cases, where client service needs to
wait for daemon service to initialize and start accepting new clients.
Setting a dependency in client is not enough as systemd doesn't know
when the daemon has initialized itself and started accepting new
clients. However, it offers a mechanism to solve this. The daemon needs
to call a special systemd function by which the daemon tells "I'm ready
to accept new clients". This is exactly what we need with
libvirtd-guests (client) and libvirtd (daemon). So now, with this
change, libvirt-guests.service is invoked not any sooner than
libvirtd.service calls the systemd notify function.

The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is (n * (n + 1) ) / 2. This gets very large, very
quickly.
This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.
The simple usage is
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
...
29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
...
the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.
If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.
$ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime ... OK

In order to make a client-only build successful on RHEL4 (yes, you
read that correctly!), commit 3ed2e54 modified src/util/virnetdev.c so
that the functional version of virNetDevGetVLanID() was only compiled
if GET_VLAN_VID_CMD was defined. However, it is *never* defined, but
is only an enum value, so the proper version was no longer compiled
even on platforms that support it. This resulted in the vlan tag not
being properly set for guest traffic on VEPA mode guest macvtap
interfaces that were bound to a vlan interface (that's the only place
that libvirt currently uses virNetDevGetVLanID)
Since there is no way to compile conditionally based on the presence
of an enum value, this patch modifies configure.ac to check for said
enum value with AC_CHECK_DECLS(), which #defines
HAVE_DECL_GET_VLAN_VID_CMD to 1 if it's successful compiling a test
program that uses GET_VLAN_VID_CMD (and still #defines it, but to 0,
if it's not successful). We can then make the compilation of
virNetDevGetVLanID() conditional on the value of
HAVE_DECL_GET_VLAN_VID_CMD.
On Fedora 20, with wireshark-devel installed, 'make rpm' failed
due to installed but unpackaged files related to wireshark. As
F20 is already released without wireshark, I chose to add a new

all existing wireshark plugins belong to the wireshark package,
so I got to invent behavior of how the first third-party wireshark
module will behave.

On Fedora 19 and older the pthreads impl provided with
