virFork() contains bookkeeping that must be done any time a process
forks. Currently this includes:
1) Call virLogLock() prior to fork() and virLogUnlock() just after,
to avoid a deadlock if some other thread happens to hold that lock
during the fork.
2) Reset the logging hooks and send all child process log messages to
stderr.
3) Block all signals prior to fork(), then either a) reset the signal
mask for the parent process, or b) clear the signal mask for the
child process.
Note that the signal mask handling in __virExec erroneously fails to
restore the signal mask when fork() fails. virFork() fixes this
problem.
Other than this, it attempts to behave as closely to fork() as
possible (including preserving errno for the caller), with a couple
exceptions:
1) The return value is 0 (success) or -1 (failure), while the pid is
returned via the pid_t* argument. Like fork(), if pid < 0 there is
no child process, otherwise both the child and the parent will
return to the caller, and both should look at the return value,
which will indicate if some of the extra processing outlined above
encountered an error.
2) If virFork() returns with pid < 0 or with a return value < 0
indicating an error condition, the error has already been
reported. You can log an additional message if you like, but it
isn't necessary, and may be awkwardly extraneous.
Note that virFork()'s child process will *never* call _exit() - if a
child process is created, it will return to the caller.
* util.c util.h: add virFork() function, based on what is currently
done in __virExec().
Support virtio-serial controller and virtio channel in QEMU backend.
Will output
the following for virtio-serial controller:
-device
virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,max_ports=16,vectors=4
and the following for a virtio channel:
-chardev pty,id=channel0 \
-device
virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=channel0,name=org.linux-kvm.port.0
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add argument output for virtio
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-virtio.args: Add test for
QEMU command line generation
Add support for virtio-serial by defining a new 'virtio' channel target type
and a virtio-serial controller. Allows the following to be specified in a
domain:
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='0' ports='16' vectors='4'/>
<channel type='pty'>
<target type='virtio' name='org.linux-kvm.port.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0'/>
</channel>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add virtio-serial controller and virtio
channel type.

virtio-serial controller and virtio channel.
* tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c

* src/libvirt_private.syms src/qemu/qemu_conf.c:
virDomainDefAddDiskControllers() renamed to
virDomainDefAddImplicitControllers()
Remove virDomainDevicePCIAddressEqual and virDomainDeviceDriveAddressEqual,
which are defined but not used anywhere.
* src/conf/domain_conf.[ch] src/libvirt_private.syms: Remove
virDomainDevicePCIAddressEqual and virDomainDeviceDriveAddressEqual.
Currently we just error with ex. 'virbr0: No such device'.
Since we are using public API calls here, we need to ensure that any
raised error is properly saved and restored, since API entry points
always reset messages.
virGetLastError returns NULL if no error has been set, not on
allocation error like virSetError assumed. Use virLastErrorObject
instead. This fixes virSetError when no error is currently stored.
Rework and simplification of teardown of the macvtap device.
Basically all devices with the same MAC address and link device are kept
alive and not attempted to be torn down. If a macvtap device linked to a
physical interface with a certain MAC address 'M' is to be created it
will automatically fail if the interface is 'up'ed and another macvtap
with the same properties (MAC addr 'M', link dev) happens to be 'up'.
This will prevent the VM from starting or the device from being attached
to a running VM. Stale interfaces are assumed to be there for some
reason and not stem from libvirt.
In the VM shutdown path, it's assuming that an interface name is always
available so that if the device type is DIRECT it can be torn down
using its name.

The QEMU JSON monitor changed balloon commands to return/accept

The recent commit to implement a python version of this function
didn't drop an explicit 'ignore' check in the generator, so this
never ended up in the bindings.
There is no real leak here, but Coverity-Prevent thinks there is.
It does not see that while there are four ways to return from
vshCommandGetToken with VSH_TK_END, none of them results in allocation
of a result.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCommandParse): Add a (currently) useless VIR_FREE,
to ensure that we never leak when vshCommandGetToken returns VSH_TK_END.
* src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlMonitorCommand): This function would
sometimes return -1, yet fail to free the "reply" it had allocated.
Hence, no caller would know to free the corresponding argument.
When returning -1, be sure to free all allocated resources.
* src/storage/storage_backend_mpath.c (virStorageBackendIsMultipath):
The result of dm_get_next_target was never used (and isn't needed),
so don't store it.
Similar to the Set*Mem commands, this implementation was bogus and
misleading. Make it clear this is a hotplug only operation, and that the
hotplug piece isn't even implemented.
Also drop the overkill maxvcpus validation: we don't perform this check
at XML define time so clearly no one is missing it, and there is
always the risk that our info will be out of date, possibly preventing
legitimate CPU values.

SetMem and SetMaxMem are hotplug only APIs, any persistent config
changes are supposed to go via XML definition. The original implementation
of these calls were incorrect and had the nasty side effect of making
a psuedo persistent change that would be lost after libvirtd restart
(I didn't know any better).
Fix these APIs to rightly reject non running domains.

The plain QEMU tree does not include 'thread_id' in the JSON
output. Thus we need to treat it as non-fatal if missing.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Treat missing thread_id as non-fatal
A typo in the check for the primary IDE controller could cause
a crash on restore depending on the exact guest config.

Current error reporting for JSON mode returns the full JSON
command string and full JSON error string. This is not very
user friendly, so this change makes the error report only
contain the basic command name, and friendly error message
description string. The full JSON data is logged instead.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Always return the 'desc' field from
the JSON error message to users.
When in JSON mode, QEMU requires that 'qmp_capabilities' is run as
the first command in the monitor. This is a no-op when run in the
text mode monitor
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Run capabilities negotiation when
connecting to the monitor
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h: Add
support for the 'qmp_capabilities' command, no-op in text mode.
This part adds support for qemu making a macvtap tap device available
via file descriptor passed to qemu command line. This also attempts to
tear down the macvtap device when a VM terminates. This includes support
for attachment and detachment to/from running VM.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.[ch] src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add support in the
QEmu driver
This part adds the helper code to setup and tear down macvtap devices
using direct communication with the device driver via netlink sockets.
The rather short messages received from the netlink layer are now
written into a dynamically allocated buffer
* src/util/macvtap.h src/util/macvtap.c: provides the new module
* po/POTFILES.in: the module contains translated strings
This part adds support to domain_conf.{c|h} for parsing the new
interface XML of type 'direct'. The parsed mode is now stored as
an int.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: extend parsing code
* src/util/macvtap.h: empty header to not break compilation
This patch adds build support for libvirt checking for certain contents
of /usr/include/linux/if_link.h to see whether macvtap support is
compilable on that system. One can disable macvtap support in libvirt
via --without-macvtap passed to configure.
* configure.ac src/Makefile.am: new build support
* src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: list of exported symbols
* src/util/macvtap.c: empty module to not break compilation
The virRaiseError macro inside of virSecurityReportError expands to
virRaiseErrorFull and includes the __FILE__, __FUNCTION__ and __LINE__
information. But this three values are always the same for every call
to virSecurityReportError and do not reflect the actual error context.
Converting virSecurityReportError into a macro results in getting the
correct __FILE__, __FUNCTION__ and __LINE__ information.
Current PCI addresses are allocated at time of VM startup.
To make them truely persistent, it is neccessary to do this
at time of virDomainDefine/virDomainCreate. The code in
qemuStartVMDaemon still remains in order to cope with upgrades
from older libvirt releases
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Rename existing qemuAssignPCIAddresses
to qemuDetectPCIAddresses. Add new qemuAssignPCIAddresses which
does auto-allocation upfront. Call qemuAssignPCIAddresses from
qemuDomainDefine and qemuDomainCreate to assign PCI addresses that
can then be persisted. Don't clear PCI addresses at shutdown if
they are intended to be persistent
The old text mode monitor prompts for a password when disks are
encrypted. This interactive approach doesn't work for JSON mode
monitor. Thus there is a new 'block_passwd' command that can be
used.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Split out code for looking up a disk
secret from findVolumeQcowPassphrase, into a new method
getVolumeQcowPassphrase. Enhance qemuInitPasswords() to also
set the disk encryption password via the monitor
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h,
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h: Add
support for the 'block_passwd' monitor command.
