e820_host is a Xen-specific option, only available for PV domains, that
provides the domain a virtual e820 memory map based on the host one. It
is enabled with a new Xen hypervisor feature, e.g.
<features>
<xen>
<e820_host state='on'/>
</xen>
</features>
e820_host is required when using PCI passthrough and is generally
considered safe for any PV kernel. e820_host is silently ignored if set
in HVM domain configuration. See xl.cfg(5) man page in the Xen
documentation for more details.

The udev monitor thread "udevEventHandleThread()" will lag the
actual/real view of devices in sysfs as it serially processes udev
monitor events. So for instance if you were to run the following cmd
to create a new veth pair and rename one of the veth endpoints
you might see the following monitor events and real world that looks like
time
| create v0 sysfs entry
wake udevEventHandleThread | create v1 sysfs entry
udev_monitor_receive_device(v1-add) | move v0 sysfs to v2
udevHandleOneDevice(v1) |
udev_monitor_receive_device(v0-add) |
udevHandleOneDevice(v0) | <--- error msgs in virNetDevGetLinkInfo()
udev_monitor_receive_device(v2-move) | as v0 no longer exists
udevHandleOneDevice(v2) |
\/
As you can see the changes in sysfs can take place well before we get
to act on the events in the udevEventHandleThread(), so by the time we
get around to processing the v0 add event, the sysfs entry has been
moved to v2.
To work around this we check if the sysfs entry is valid before
attempting to read it and don't bother trying to read link info if
not. This is safe since we will never read sysfs entries earlier than
it existing, ie. if the entry is not there it has either been removed
in the time since we enumerated the device or something bigger is
busted, in either case, no sysfs entry, no link info. In the case
described above we will eventually get the link info as we work
through the queue of monitor events and get to the 'move' event.

It is possible and common to rename some devices, this is especially
true for ethernet devices such as veth pairs.
In the udevEventHandleThread() we will be notified of this change but
currently we only process "add", "change" and "remove"
events. Renaming a device such as above results in a "move" event, not
a "remove" followed by and "add" or vise versa. This change will add
the new/destination device to our records but unfortunately there is
no usable mechanism to identify the old/source device to remove it
from the records. So this is admittedly only a partial fix.

I've just got a new machine and I'm still converging on the
kernel config. Anyway, since I don't have enabled any of SRIO-V
drivers, my kernel doesn't have NET_DEVLINK enabled (i.e.
virNetDevGetFamilyId() returns 0). But this makes nodedev driver
ignore all interfaces, because when enumerating all devices via
udev, the control reaches virNetDevSwitchdevFeature() eventually
and subsequently virNetDevGetFamilyId() which 'fails'. Well, it's
not really a failure - the virNetDevSwitchdevFeature() stub
simply returns 0.

Introduced in v3.8.0-rc1~96, the virNetDevGetFamilyId() gets
netlink family ID for passed family name (even though it's used
only for getting "devlink" ID). Nevertheless, the function
returns 0 on an error or if no family ID was found. This makes it
harder for a caller to distinguish these two. Change the retval
so that a negative value is returned upon error, zero is no ID
found (but no error encountered) and a positive value is returned
on successful translation.

As explained in the previous commit, we need to relabel the file
we are restoring the domain from. That is the FD that is passed
to QEMU. If the file is not under /dev then the file inside the
namespace is the very same as the one in the host. And regardless
of using transactions, the file will be relabeled. But, if the
file is under /dev then when using transactions only the copy
inside the namespace is relabeled and the one in the host is not.
But QEMU is reading from the one in the host, actually.

This API allows drivers to separate out handling of @stdin_path
of virSecurityManagerSetAllLabel(). The thing is, the QEMU driver
uses transactions for virSecurityManagerSetAllLabel() which
relabels devices from inside of domain's namespace. This is what
we usually want. Except when resuming domain from a file. The
file is opened before any namespace is set up and the FD is
passed to QEMU to read the migration stream from. Because of
this, the file lives outside of the namespace and if it so
happens that the file is a block device (i.e. it lives under
/dev) its copy will be created in the namespace. But the FD that
is passed to QEMU points to the original living in the host and
not in the namespace. So relabeling the file inside the namespace
helps nothing.
But if we have a separate API for relabeling the restore file
then the QEMU driver can continue calling
virSecurityManagerSetAllLabel() with transactions enabled and
call this new API without transactions.
We already have an API for relabeling a single file
(virSecurityManagerDomainSetPathLabel()) but in case of SELinux
it uses @imagelabel (which allows RW access) and we want to use
@content_context (which allows RO access).

util: virdaemon: fix compilation on mingw
The daemons are not supported on Win32 and therefore were not compiled
in that platform. However, with the daemon code sharing, all the code in
utils *is* compiled and it failed because `waitpid`, `fork`, and
`setsid` are not available. So, as before, let's not build them on
Win32 and make the code more portable by using existing vir* wrappers.
Not compiling virDaemonForkIntoBackground on Win32 is good, but the
second part of the original patch incorrectly replaced waitpid and fork
with our virProcessWait and virFork APIs. These APIs are more than just
simple wrappers and we don't want any of the extra functionality.
Especially virFork would reset any setup made before
virDaemonForkIntoBackground is called, such as logging, signal handling,
etc.
As a result of the change the additional fix in v6.2.0-67-ga87e4788d2
(util: virdaemon: fix waiting for child processes) is no longer
needed and it is effectively reverted by this commit.

Setting CC="ccache cc" works in most cases, but sometimes it will
break the build: in particular, we have experienced issues in the
past with that approach when using cgo to build our Go bindings.
A more robust approach is to have a directory containing symlinks
from the compiler name to the ccache binary: in that case, ccache
itself will invoke the compiler, and the build system will be none
the wiser.
Since libvirt-ci commit 2563aebb6c5c, container images contain a
suitable symlink directory, so all that's needed to enable the new
approach is to add this directory to $PATH.
Since we're touching this anyway, we make a few more changes:
$CCACHE_DIR is no longer created manually, because ccache will
take care of creating it for us if it doesn't already exist; the
ccache setup is moved out of the job template and into
script_variables, removing unnecessary duplication; a limit is
set on the size of the cache (500 MB, which is twice the amount
used by a fresh build on my Fedora 31 machine).
