Normally virInitialize calls virErrorInitialize and
virThreadInitialize, but we don't link to libvirt.so
in libvirt_lxc, and nor did we ever call the error
or thread initializers.
I have absolutely no idea how this has ever worked, let alone
what caused it to stop working in Fedora 20.
In addition not all code paths from virLogSetFromEnv will
ensure virLogInitialize is called correctly, which is another
possible crash scenario.

The libvirt.so library has far too many library deps to allow
linking against it from setuid programs. Those libraries can
do stuff in __attribute__((constructor) functions which is
not setuid safe.
The virt-login-shell needs to link directly against individual
files that it uses, with all library deps turned off except
for libxml2 and libselinux.
Create a libvirt-setuid-rpc-client.la library which is linked
to by virt-login-shell. A config-post.h file allows this library
to disable all external deps except libselinux and libxml2.

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:

When a client disconnects from libvirtd, all event callbacks

This code does not run in normal API dispatch context, so no
identity was set. The result was that the access control drivers
denied the attempt to deregister callbacks. The callbacks thus
continued to trigger after the client was free'd causing fairly

the ACL drivers are active.

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.
This fix requires that libvirt is re-built against a version of
polkit that has the fix for its CVE-2013-4288, so that libvirt
can see 'pkg-config --variable pkcheck_supports_uid polkit-gobject-1'

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.

srcdir, and that fails when srcdir is read-only.

FreeBSD 10 recently changed their definition of RAND_MAX, to try
and cover the fact that their evenly distributed results of rand()
really are a smaller range than a full power of 2. As a result,
I did some investigation, and learned:
1. POSIX requires random() to be evenly distributed across exactly
31 bits. glibc also guarantees this for rand(), but the two are
unrelated, and POSIX only associates RAND_MAX with rand().
Avoiding RAND_MAX altogether thus avoids a build failure on
FreeBSD 10.
2. Concatenating random bits from a PRNG will NOT provide uniform
coverage over the larger value UNLESS the period of the original
PRNG is at least as large as the number of bits being concatenated.
Simple example: suppose that RAND_MAX were 1 with a period of 2**1
(which means that the PRNG merely alternates between 0 and 1).
Concatenating two successive rand() calls would then invariably
result in 01 or 10, which is a rather non-uniform distribution
(00 and 11 are impossible) and an even worse period (2**0, since
our second attempt will get the same number as our first attempt).
But a RAND_MAX of 1 with a period of 2**2 (alternating between
0, 1, 1, 0) provides sane coverage of all four values, if properly
tempered. (Back-to-back calls would still only see half the values
if we don't do some tempering). We therefore want to guarantee a
period of at least 2**64, preferably larger (as a tempering factor);
POSIX only makes this guarantee for random() with 256 bytes of info.
* src/util/virrandom.c (virRandomBits): Use constants that are
accurate for the PRNG we are using, not an unrelated PRNG.
(randomState): Ensure the period of our PRNG exceeds our usage.

Commit 29fe5d7 (released in 1.1.1) introduced a latent problem
for any caller of virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel and where
the domain already had a uid:gid label to be parsed. Such a
setup would collect the list of supplementary groups during
virSecurityManagerPreFork, but then ignores that information,
and thus fails to call setgroups() to adjust the supplementary
groups of the process.
Upstream does not use virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel for
qemu (it uses virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel instead),
so this problem remained latent until backporting the initial
commit into v0.10.2-maint (commit c061ff5, released in 0.10.2.7),
where virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel has not been
backported. As a result of using a different code path in the
backport, attempts to start a qemu domain that runs as qemu:qemu
will end up with supplementary groups unchanged from the libvirtd
parent process, rather than the desired supplementary groups of
the qemu user. This can lead to failure to start a domain
(typical Fedora setup assigns user 107 'qemu' to both group 107
'qemu' and group 36 'kvm', so a disk image that is only readable
under kvm group rights is locked out). Worse, it is a security
hole (the qemu process will inherit supplemental group rights
from the parent libvirtd process, which means it has access
rights to files owned by group 0 even when such files should
not normally be visible to user qemu).
LXC does not use the DAC security driver, so it is not vulnerable
at this time. Still, it is better to plug the latent hole on
the master branch first, before cherry-picking it to the only
vulnerable branch v0.10.2-maint.
