The /dev/console device inside the container must NOT map
to the real /dev/console device node, since this allows the
container control over the current host console. A fun side
effect of this is that starting a container containing a
real Fedora OS will kill off your X server.
Remove the /dev/console node, and replace it with a symlink
to the primary console TTY
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Replace /dev/console with a
symlink to /dev/pty/0
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Remove /dev/console from cgroups
ACL
Using automated replacement with sed and editing I have now replaced all
occurrences of close() with VIR_(FORCE_)CLOSE() except for one, of
course. Some replacements were straight forward, others I needed to pay
attention. I hope I payed attention in all the right places... Please
have a look. This should have at least solved one more double-close
error.
Previously, the functions in src/lxc/veth.c could sometimes return
positive values on failure rather than -1. This made accurate error
reporting difficult, and led to one failure to catch an error in a
calling function.
This patch makes all the functions in veth.c consistently return 0 on
success, and -1 on failure. It also fixes up the callers to the veth.c
functions where necessary.
Note that this patch may be related to the bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607496.
It will not fix the bug, but should unveil what happens.
* po/POTFILES.in - add veth.c, which previously had no translatable strings
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c - fixup callers to veth.c, and remove error logs,
as they are now done in veth.c
* src/lxc/veth.c - make all functions consistently return -1 on error.
* src/lxc/veth.h - use ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL to protect against NULL args.
The function is expected to return negative value on failure,
however, it returns positive value when either setInterfaceName
or vethInterfaceUpOrDown fails. Because the function returns
the return value of either as is, however, the two functions
may return positive value on failure.
The patch fixes the defects and add error messages.
Approximately 60 messages were marked. Since these diagnostics are
intended solely for developers and maintainers, encouraging translation
is deemed to be counterproductive:

Run this command:
git grep -l VIR_WARN|xargs perl -pi -e \
's/(VIR_WARN0?)\s*\(_\((".*?")\)/$1($2/'
Upstart crashes & burns in a heap if $TERM environment variable
is missing. Presumably the kernel always sets this when booting
init on a real machine, so libvirt should set it for containers
too.
To make a typical inittab / mingetty setup happier, we need to
symlink the primary console /dev/pts/0 to /dev/tty1.
Improve logging in certain scenarios to make troubleshooting
easier
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Create /dev/tty1 and set $TERM
Two files were using functions from <sys/stat.h> but not including
in. Most of the time they got this automatically via another header,
but certain build flag combinations can reveal the problem
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c, src/node_device/node_device_linux_sysfs.c:
Add <sys/stat.h>
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c src/lxc/lxc_controller.c src/lxc/lxc_driver.c
src/network/bridge_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_driver.c
src/uml/uml_driver.c: virFileMakePath returns 0 for success, or the
value of errno on failure, so error checking should be to test
if non-zero, not if lower than 0
The capng_lock() call sets the SECURE_NO_SETUID_FIXUP and SECURE_NOROOT
bits on the process. This prevents the kernel granting capabilities to
processes with an effective UID of 0, or with setuid programs. This is
not actually what we want in the container init process. It should be
allowed to run setuid processes & keep capabilities when root. All that
is required is masking a handful of dangerous capabilities from the
bounding set.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Remove bogus capng_lock() call.

src/xen/xm_internal.c: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> sent a code
review and those are the fixes correcting the problems
Current implementation of lxc driver creates vethN named
interface(s) in the host and passes as it is to a container.
The reason why it doesn't use ethN is due to the limitation
that one namespace cannot have multiple iterfaces that have
an identical name so that we give up creating ethN named
interface in the host for the container.
However, we should be able to allow the container to have
ethN by changing the name after clone(CLONE_NEWNET).
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c src/lxc/veth.c src/lxc/veth.h: do the clone
and then renames interfaces eth0 ... ethN to keep the interface names
familiar in the domain
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c src/lxc/lxc_controller.c src/lxc/lxc_driver.c
src/lxc/veth.c: most of cleanups are just capitalizing their messages
though, some fixes wrong error messages and awkward indentations, and
improves error messages.
