The libvirtd server pushes data out to clients. It does not
know what protocol version the client might have, so must be
conservative and use the old payload limits. ie send no more
than 256kb of data per packet.

(cherry picked from commit 27e81517a8)
The 'stats' variable was not initialized to NULL, so if some
early validation of the RPC call fails, it is possible to jump
to the 'cleanup' label and VIR_FREE an uninitialized pointer.
This is a security flaw, since the API can be called from a
readonly connection which can trigger the validation checks.
This was introduced in release v0.9.1 onwards by
commit 158ba8730e

Conflicts:
daemon/remote.c - context
With the existing pkcheck (pid, start time) tuple for identifying
the process, there is a race condition, where a process can make
a libvirt RPC call and in another thread exec a setuid application,
causing it to change to effective UID 0. This in turn causes polkit
to do its permission check based on the wrong UID.
To address this, libvirt must get the UID the caller had at time
of connect() (from SO_PEERCRED) and pass a (pid, start time, uid)
triple to the pkcheck program.

Change the build process & driver initialization so that the
VirtualBox driver is built into libvirtd, instead of libvirt.so
This change avoids the VirtualBox GPLv2-only license causing
compatibility problems with libvirt.so which is under the
GPLv2-or-later license.
NB this change prevents use of the VirtualBox driver on the
Windows platform, until such time as libvirtd can be made
to work there.

CVE-2013-1962
remoteDispatchStoragePoolListAllVolumes wasn't freeing the pool.
The pool also held a reference to the connection, preventing it from
getting freed and closing the netcf interface driver, which held two
sockets open.
Automake already passes all CFLAGS to the linker too, so it
is not necessary to set WARN_LDFLAGS in addition to the
WARN_CFLAGS variable.

Currently the virGetHostname() API has a bogus virConnectPtr
parameter. This is because virtualization drivers directly
reference this API in their virDriverPtr tables, tieing its
API design to the public virConnectGetHostname API design.
This also causes problems for access control checks since
these must only be done for invocations from the public
API, not internal invocation.
Remove the bogus virConnectPtr parameter, and make each
hypervisor driver provide a dedicated function for the
driver API impl. This will allow access control checks
to be easily inserted later.

Since PIDs can be reused, polkit prefers to be given
a (PID,start time) pair. If given a PID on its own,
it will attempt to lookup the start time in /proc/pid/stat,
though this is subject to races.
It is safer if the client app resolves the PID start
time itself, because as long as the app has the client
socket open, the client PID won't be reused.

Since the 'nparams' variable passed to virTypedParametersFree is
supposed to represent the size of the 'params' array, it is bad
practice to initialize it to a non-zero value, until the array
has been allocated.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Ensure that the driver struct field names match the public
API names. For an API virXXXX we must have a driver struct
field xXXXX. ie strip the leading 'vir' and lowercase any
leading uppercase letters.

A number of the remote procedure names did not match the
corresponding API names. For example, many lacked the
word 'CONNECT', others re-arranged the names. Update the
procedures so their names exactly match the API names.

Typically when you get EOF on a stream, poll will return
POLLIN|POLLHUP at the same time. Thus when we deal with
stream reads, if we see EOF during the read, we can then
clear the VIR_STREAM_EVENT_HANGUP & VIR_STREAM_EVENT_ERROR
event bits.

By passing the flags -z relro -z now to the linker, we can force
it to resolve all library symbols at startup, instead of on-demand.
This allows it to then make the global offset table (GOT) read-only,
which makes some security attacks harder.

PIE (position independent executable) adds security to executables
by composing them entirely of position-independent code (PIC. The
.so libraries already build with -fPIC. This adds -fPIE which is
the equivalent to -fPIC, but for executables. This for allows Exec
Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers
from knowing where existing executable code is during a security
attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the
executable code in the binary, such as return-to-libc attacks.

There's a quite old bug entry here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700010
I just stumbled over that very issue on F18. Doing a little bit
debugging of the shutdown sequence, it turns out that - at least on my
F18 installation - libvirtd is shutdown *after* iscsid, which makes it
impossible for libvirt to perform the logout of the iscsi session properly.
This patch simply adds another startup dependancy on iscsid.service
which in turn delays iscsid shutdown until after libvirtd has stopped.
Having that applied, the system shuts down properly again.

This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

I did a build --without-libvirtd, then ran 'make dist'. The
resulting tarball was broken, with a complaint that make did not
know how to create libvirtd.service.in. I traced it to a use
of EXTRA_DIST inside a conditional.
* daemon/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Hoist libvirtd.service.in
outside of WITH_LIBVIRTD conditional.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887017 reports that
even though libvirt attempts to set fs.aio-max-nr via sysctl,
the file was installed with the wrong name and gets ignored by
sysctl. Furthermore, 'man systcl.d' recommends that packages
install into hard-coded /usr/lib/sysctl.d (even when libdir is
/usr/lib64), so that sysadmins can use /etc/sysctl.d for overrides.
* daemon/Makefile.am (install-sysctl, uninstall-sysctl): Use
correct location.
* libvirt.spec.in (network_files): Reflect this.
See also commit 66ff2dd, where we avoided installing these files
as executables.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd.service): Drop chmod.
* tools/Makefile.am (libvirt-guests.service): Likewise.
* src/Makefile.am (virtlockd.service, virtlockd.socket):

We had several different styles of .in conversion in our Makefiles:
ALLCAPS, @ALLCAPS@, @lower@, ::lower::
Canonicalize on one form, to make it easier to copy and paste
between .in files.
Also, we were using some non-portable sed constructs: \@ is an
undefined escape sequence (it happens to be @ itself in GNU sed,
but POSIX allows it to mean something else), as well as risky
behavior (failure to consistently quote things means a space
in $(sysconfdir) could throw things off; also, Autoconf recommends
using | rather than , or ! in the s||| operator, because | has to
be quoted in shell and is therefore less likely to appear in file
names than , or !).
Fix all of these uses to follow the same syntax.
