With libdbus our wrappers had a special syntax to create the DBus
messages by defining the DBus message signature followed by list
of arguments providing data based on the signature.
There will be no similar helper with GLib implementation as they
provide same functionality via GVariant APIs. The syntax is slightly
different mostly for how arrays, variadic types and dictionaries are
created/parsed.
Additional difference is that with GLib DBus everything is wrapped in
extra tuple (struct). For more details refer to the documentation [1].

There was one attempt a year ago done by me to drop HAL [1] but it was
never resolved. There was another time when Dan suggested to drop HAL
driver [2] but it was decided to keep it around in case device
assignment will be implemented for FreeBSD and the fact that
virt-manager uses node device driver [3].
I checked git history and code and it doesn't look like bhyve supports
device assignment so from that POV it should not block removing HAL.
The argument about virt-manager is not strong as well because libvirt
installed from FreeBSD packages doesn't have HAL support so it will not
affect these users as well [4].
The only users affected by this change would be the ones compiling
libvirt from GIT on FreeBSD.
I looked into alternatives and there is libudev-devd package on FreeBSD
but unfortunately it doesn't work as it doesn't list any devices when
used with libvirt. It provides libudev APIs using devd.
I also looked into devd directly and it provides some APIs but there are
no APIs for device monitoring and events so that would have to be
somehow done by libvirt.
Main motivation for dropping HAL support is to replace libdbus with GLib
dbus implementation and it cannot be done with HAL driver present in
libvirt because HAL APIs heavily depends on symbols provided by libdbus.

When accessing libvirtd over a SSH tunnel, the remote driver needs a way
to proxy the SSH input/output stream to a suitable libvirt daemon. This
is currently done by spawning netcat, pointing it to the libvirtd socket
path. This is problematic for a number of reasons:
- The socket path varies according to the --prefix chosen at build
time. The remote client is seeing the local prefix, but what we
need is the remote prefix
- The socket path varies according to remote env variables, such as
the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR location. Again we see the local XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
value, but what we need is the remote value (if any)
- The remote driver doesn't know whether it must connect to the legacy
libvirtd or the modular daemons, so must always assume legacy
libvirtd for back-compat. This means we'll always end up using the
virtproxyd daemon adding an extra hop in the RPC layer.
- We can not able to autospawn the libvirtd daemon for session mode
access
To address these problems this patch introduces the 'virtd-ssh-helper'
program which takes the URI for the remote driver as a CLI parameter.
It then figures out which daemon to connect to and its socket path,
using the same code that the remote driver client would on the remote
host's build of libvirt.

We delay converting the remote transport string to enum form until

This patch takes care of just the obvious cases: there are
many more situations where the data we pass to configure_file()
could likely be obtained in a more effective way, but we can
address the low-hanging fruits as a first approximation.

CVE-2020-14339
When building domain's private /dev in a namespace, libdevmapper
is consulted for getting full dependency tree of domain's disks.
The reason is that for a multipath devices all dependent devices
must be created in the namespace and allowed in CGroups.
However, this approach is very fragile as building of namespace
happens in the forked off child process, after mass close of FDs
and just before dropping privileges and execing QEMU. And it so
happens that when calling libdevmapper APIs, one of them opens
/dev/mapper/control and saves the FD into a global variable. The
FD is kept open until the lib is unlinked or dm_lib_release() is
called explicitly. We are doing neither.
However, the virDevMapperGetTargets() function is called also
from libvirtd (when setting up CGroups) and thus has to be thread
safe. Unfortunately, libdevmapper APIs are not thread safe (nor
async signal safe) and thus we can't use them. Reimplement what
libdevmapper would do using plain C (ioctl()-s, /proc/devices
parsing, /dev/mapper dirwalking, and so on).

There is no need to provide relative paths to the current directory if
we provide search paths using --directory option for xgettext.
In addition it will make libvirt.pot file look cleaner as it will not
contain relative paths to current directory. It improves the situation
for developers which are using different build path as that would
change the relative path in libvirt.pot as well. After this patch
it will not happen anymore.
