db3dd0824f maint: improve VIR_ERR_INVALID_CONN usage
The datatype.c object checks could result in a message like:

error: invalid connection pointer in no connection

This consolidates all clients of this message to have uniform contents:

error: invalid connection pointer in someFunc

Note that virCheckConnectReturn raises an error immediately; in
datatypes.c, where we don't need to raise the error (but instead
just leave it in the thread-local setting), we use
virCheckConnectGoto and the cleanup label instead.  Then, for
consistency in that file, all subsequent error messages are
touched to also use the cleanup error label.

* src/datatypes.h (virCheckConnectReturn)
(virCheckConnectGoto): New macros.
* src/datatypes.c: Use new macro.
* src/libvirt-qemu.c (virDomainQemuAttach): Likewise.
(virLibConnError): Delete unused macro.
* src/libvirt-lxc.c (virLibConnError): Likewise.

27e32e0f3d AArch64: Porting of armv7l conditons to run qemu for aarch64.
AArch64 qemu has similar behavior as armv7l, like use of mmio etc.
This patch adds similar bypass checks what we have for armv7l to aarch64.
E.g. we are enabling mmio transport for Nicdev.
Making addDefaultUSB and addDefaultMemballoon to false etc.

V3:
- Adding missing domain rng schema for aarcg64 and test case in
  testutilsqemu.c which was causing test suite failure
  while running make check.

V2:
- Added testcase to qemuxml2argvtest as suggested
  during review comments of V1.

V1:
- Initial patch.

ecd881b7a7 storage: add network-dir as new storage volume type
In the 'directory' and 'netfs' storage pools, a user can see
both 'file' and 'dir' storage volume types, to know when they
can descend into a subdirectory.  But in a network-based storage
pool, such as the upcoming 'gluster' pool, we use 'network'
instead of 'file', and did not have any counterpart for a
directory until this patch.  Adding a new volume type
'network-dir' is better than reusing 'dir', because it makes
it clear that the only way to access 'network' volumes within
that container is through the network mounting (leaving 'dir'
for something accessible in the local file system).

1b5c8d4cbc storage: expose volume meta-type in XML
I got annoyed at having to use both 'virsh vol-list $pool --details'

6cc4d6a3fe storage: use valid XML for awkward volume names
$ touch /var/lib/libvirt/images/'a<b>c'
$ virsh pool-refresh default
$ virsh vol-dumpxml 'a<b>c' default | head -n2
<volume>
  <name>a<b>c</name>

Oops.  That's not valid XML.  And when we fix the XML
generation, it fails RelaxNG validation.

I'm also tired of seeing <key>(null)</key> in the example
output for volume xml; while we used NULLSTR() to avoid
a NULL deref rather than relying on glibc's printf
extension behavior, it's even better if we avoid the issue
in the first place.  But this requires being careful that
we don't invalidate any storage backends that were relying
on key being unassigned during virStoragVolCreateXML[From].

I would have split this into two patches (one for escaping,
one for avoiding <key>(null)</key>), but since they both
end up touching a lot of the same test files, I ended up
merging it into one.

Note that this patch allows pretty much any volume name
that can appear in a directory (excluding . and .. because
those are special), but does nothing to change the current
(unenforced) RelaxNG claim that pool names will consist
only of letters, numbers, _, -, and +.  Tightening the C
code to match RelaxNG patterns and/or relaxing the grammar
to match the C code for pool names is a task for another
day (but remember, we DID recently tighten C code for
domain names to exclude a leading '.').

* src/conf/storage_conf.c (virStoragePoolSourceFormat)
(virStoragePoolDefFormat, virStorageVolTargetDefFormat)
(virStorageVolDefFormat): Escape user-controlled strings.
(virStorageVolDefParseXML): Parse key, for use in unit tests.
* src/storage/storage_driver.c (storageVolCreateXML)

volume creation.

887dd3625b storage: fix RNG validation of gluster via netfs
While trying to compare netfs against my new gluster pool, I
discovered two things:

virt-xml-validate chokes on valid xml produced by 'virsh pool-dumpxml'
[yet another reason that ALL patches that add new xml should be adding
corresponding tests]

When using glusterfs FUSE mounts, you cannot access a subdirectory
of a gluster volume.  The recommended workaround in the gluster
community is to mount the volume to an intermediate location, then
bind-mount the desired subdirectory to the final location.  Maybe
we should teach libvirt to do bind-mounting, but for now I chose to
just document the limitation.

3f029fb531 LXC: Fix handling of RAM filesystem size units
Since 76b644c when the support for RAM filesystems was introduced,
libvirt accepted the following XML:
<source usage='1024' unit='KiB'/>

This was parsed correctly and internally stored in bytes, but it
was formatted as (with an extra 's'):
<source usage='1024' units='KiB'/>
When read again, this was treated as if the units were missing,
meaning libvirt was unable to parse its own XML correctly.

The usage attribute was documented as being in KiB, but it was not
scaled if the unit was missing. Transient domains still worked,
because this was balanced by an extra 'k' in the mount options.

This patch:
Changes the parser to use 'units' instead of 'unit', as the latter
was never documented (fixing persistent domains) and some programs
(libvirt-glib, libvirt-sandbox) already parse the 'units' attribute.

Removes the extra 'k' from the tmpfs mount options, which is needed
because now we parse our own XML correctly.

Changes the default input unit to KiB to match documentation, fixing:

of the hda audio built into the ich9 chipset, of course). It's not
supported in earlier versions of qemu, so it requires a capability
bit.

f8456e5a18 VMX: Add cdrom-raw dev type from VMWare Fusion
According to VMWare's documentation 'cdrom-raw' is an acceptable value
for deviceType for a CD-ROM drive. The documentation states that the VMX
configuration for a CD-ROM deviceType is as follows:

ide|scsi(n):(n).deviceType = "cdrom-raw|atapi-cdrom|cdrom-image"

From the documentation it appears the following is true:
- cdrom-image = Provides the ISO to the VM
- atapi-cdrom = Provides a NEC emulated ATAPI CD-ROM on top of the host
  CD-ROM
- cdrom-raw = Passthru for a host CD-ROM drive. Allows CD-R burning from
  within the guest.

A CD-ROM prior to this patch would always provide an 'atapi-cdrom' is
modeled as:
  <disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
    <source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
    <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
  </disk>

This patch allows the 'device' attribute to be set to 'lun' for a raw
acccess CD-ROM such as:
  <disk type='block' device='lun'>
    <source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
    <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>

feba2febce qemu: Support setting the 'removable' flag for USB disks
Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.

To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

cd3fa76222 build: shipped files must not depend on BUILT_SOURCES
'make distcheck' was failing with:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/libvirt-1.1.1/_build/docs'
perl ../../docs/genaclperms.pl ../../src/access/viraccessperm.h > ../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc
/bin/sh: ../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc: Permission denied

when simulating the case of a user doing a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree.  The culprit?  BUILT_SOURCES are _always_
built, and so must NOT be built into srcdir and need not be part
of the tarball.  On the other hand, shipped files must never
depend on files in the builddir.  While it would be possible to
fix the problem by generating aclperms.htmlinc into builddir,
we then have the problem that we ship acl.html - we'd have to
rejigger a lot of things to not ship pre-built html.  So this
patch goes the other direction - we don't need BUILT_SOURCES,
but instead ensure that we have proper dependencies so that
all files in srcdir are up-to-date at the time the tarball is
created.  And because we ship html files in the tarball, that
implies we don't expect users to be able to rebuild them, so
we must not clean any files that would trigger a rebuild except
under the maintainer rules.

* docs/Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Delete.
(CLEANFILES): Downgrade aclperms.htmlinc cleanup...
(maintainer-clean-local): ...and move hvsupport.html.in...
(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): ...to a maintainer action.

f06eb52fff build: fix 'make distcheck' out of the box
With the 1.1.1 tarball, if a user does 'make && make distcheck',
things pass, but if they do 'make distcheck' after 'make clean',
there is an odd failure:

  GEN      ../../docs/devhelp/index.html
I/O error : Permission denied
I/O error : Permission denied
runtime error: file ../../docs/devhelp/devhelp.xsl line 43 element document
xsltDocumentElem: unable to save to ../../docs/devhelp/libvirt-virterror.html
I/O error : Permission denied
I/O error : Permission denied

This implies that the rules for 'make dist' are missing a
dependency - the generated documentation needs to be up-to-date
before creating the tarball, or else the tarball will be missing
files, where the end user will end up trying to rebuild files in
srcdir, and that fails when srcdir is read-only.

1.1.1 plus this patch now works without issues (other issues have
crept in to 1.1.2-rc1 that prevent 'make distcheck' from working,
but those will be cleaned up in later patches).

* docs/Makefile.am (dist-local): New dependency.

0f082e699e selinux: distinguish failure to label from request to avoid label
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924153

Commit 904e05a2 (v0.9.9) added a per-<disk> seclabel element with
an attribute relabel='no' in order to try and minimize the
impact of shutdown delays when an NFS server disappears.  The idea
was that if a disk is on NFS and can't be labeled in the first
place, there is no need to attempt the (no-op) relabel on domain
shutdown.  Unfortunately, the way this was implemented was by
modifying the domain XML so that the optimization would survive
libvirtd restart, but in a way that is indistinguishable from an
explicit user setting.  Furthermore, once the setting is turned
on, libvirt avoids attempts at labeling, even for operations like
snapshot or blockcopy where the chain is being extended or pivoted
onto non-NFS, where SELinux labeling is once again possible.  As
a result, it was impossible to do a blockcopy to pivot from an
NFS image file onto a local file.

The solution is to separate the semantics of a chain that must
not be labeled (which the user can set even on persistent domains)
vs. the optimization of not attempting a relabel on cleanup (a
live-only annotation), and using only the user's explicit notation
rather than the optimization as the decision on whether to skip
a label attempt in the first place.  When upgrading an older
libvirtd to a newer, an NFS volume will still attempt the relabel;
but as the avoidance of a relabel was only an optimization, this
shouldn't cause any problems.

In the ideal future, libvirt will eventually have XML describing
EVERY file in the backing chain, with each file having a separate
<seclabel> element.  At that point, libvirt will be able to track
more closely which files need a relabel attempt at shutdown.  But
until we reach that point, the single <seclabel> for the entire
<disk> chain is treated as a hint - when a chain has only one
file, then we know it is accurate; but if the chain has more than
one file, we have to attempt relabel in spite of the attribute,
in case part of the chain is local and SELinux mattered for that
portion of the chain.

4f595ba61c network: permit upstream forwarding of unqualified DNS names
This resolves the issue that prompted the filing of

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928638

(although the request there is for something much larger and more
general than this patch).

commit f3868259ca disabled the
forwarding to upstream DNS servers of unresolved DNS requests for
names that had no domain, but were just simple host names (no "."
character anywhere in the name). While this behavior is frowned upon
by DNS root servers (that's why it was changed in libvirt), it is
convenient in some cases, and since dnsmasq can be configured to allow
it, it must not be strictly forbidden.

This patch restores the old behavior, but since it is usually
undesirable, restoring it requires specification of a new option in
the network config. Adding the attribute "forwardPlainNames='yes'" to
the <dns> elemnt does the trick - when that attribute is added to a
network config, any simple hostnames that can't be resolved by the
network's dnsmasq instance will be forwarded to the DNS servers listed
in the host's /etc/resolv.conf for an attempt at resolution (just as
any FQDN would be forwarded).

When that attribute *isn't* specified, unresolved simple names will
*not* be forwarded to the upstream DNS server - this is the default
behavior.

70363ea9ff build: add configure option to disable gnulib tests
The gnulib testsuite is relatively stable - the only times it is
likely to have a test change from pass to fail is on a gnulib
submodule update or a major system change (such as moving from
Fedora 18 to 19, or other large change to libc).  While it is an
important test for end users on arbitrary machines (to make sure
that the portability glue works for their machine), it mostly
wastes time for development testing (as most developers aren't
making any of the major changes that would cause gnulib tests
to alter behavior).  Thus, it pays to make the tests optional
at configure time, defaulting to off for development, on for
tarballs, with autobuilders requesting it to be on.  It also
helps to allow a make-time override, via VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=[01]
(much the way automake sets up V=[01] for overriding the configure
time default of how verbose to be).

Automake has some pretty hard-coded magic with regards to the
TESTS variable; I had quite a job figuring out how to keep
'make distcheck' passing regardless of the configure option
setting in use, while still disabling the tests at runtime
when I did not configure them on and did not use the override
variable.  Thankfully, we require GNU make, which lets me
hide some information from Automake's magic handling of TESTS.

* configure.ac (--enable-expensive-tests): Add new enable switch.

The gendispatch.pl script is extended so that it generates
a simple XML describing ACL rules, eg.

  <aclinfo>
    ...
    <api name='virConnectNumOfDomains'>
      <check object='connect' perm='search_domains'/>
      <filter object='domain' perm='getattr'/>
    </api>
    <api name='virDomainAttachDeviceFlags'>
      <check object='domain' perm='write'/>
      <check object='domain' perm='save' flags='!VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG|VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE'/>
      <check object='domain' perm='save' flags='VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG'/>
    </api>
    ...
  </aclinfo>

The newapi.xsl template loads the XML files containing the ACL
rules and generates a short block of HTML for each API describing
the parameter checks and return value filters (if any).
