Introduce a Xen xl parser
This parser allows for users to convert the new xl disk format and
spice graphics config to libvirt xml format and vice versa. Regarding
the spice graphics config, the code is pretty much straight forward.
For the disk {formating, parsing}, this parser takes care of the new
xl format which include positional parameters and key/value parameters.
In xl format disk config a <diskspec> consists of parameters separated by
commas. If the parameters do not contain an '=' they are automatically
assigned to certain options following the order below
target, format, vdev, access
The above are the only mandatory parameters in the <diskspec> but there
are many more disk config options. These options can be specified as
key=value pairs. This takes care of the rest of the options such as
devtype, backend, backendtype, script, direct-io-safe,
The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form
for example
/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
/dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume
are interpleted to one config.
In xm format, the above diskspec would be written as
phy:/dev/vg/guest-volume,hda,w
The disk parser is based on the same parser used successfully by
the Xen project for several years now. Ian Jackson authored the
scanner, which is used by this commit with mimimal changes. Only
the PREFIX option is changed, to produce function and file names
more consistent with libvirt's convention.

Executing prlctl command is not an optimal way to interact with
Parallels Cloud Server (PCS), it's better to use parallels SDK,
which is a remote API to paralles dispatcher service.
We prepared opensource version of this SDK and published it on
github, it's distributed under LGPL license. Here is a git repo:
https://github.com/Parallels/parallels-sdk.
To build with parallels SDK user should get compiler and linker
options from pkg-config 'parallels-sdk' file. So fix checks in
configure script and build with parallels SDK, if that pkg-config
file exists and add gcc options to makefile.

Perl is necessary to our build processing, it will invoke a lot of

ok for build from git checkout, because autogen.sh will tell you.
But for compiling from a release tarball, configure will just record
a missing message, and continue, then build failed, like:

Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.
Features supported:
- pool-start, pool-stop
- pool-info
- vol-list
- vol-create / vol-delete
Pool definition looks like that:
<pool type='zfs'>
<name>myzfspool</name>
<source>
<name>actualpoolname</name>
</source>
</pool>
The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.
User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.
A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
There's this question on the list that is asked over and over again.
How do I get {cpu, memory, ...} usage in percentage? Or its modified
version: How do I plot nice graphs like virt-manager does?
It would be nice if we have an example to inspire people. And that's
what domtop should do. Yes, it could be written in different ways, but
I've chosen this one as I think it show explicitly what users need to
implement in order to imitate virt-manager's graphing.
Note: The usage is displayed from host perspective. That is, how much
host CPUs the domain is using. But it should be fairly simple to
switch do just guest CPU usage if needed.

The configure definition previously always defined the GLUSTER_CLI macro
and thus the code needing it wasn't compiled out if the tool wasn't
accessible.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072714
Use the "gluster" command line tool to retrieve information about remote
volumes on a gluster server to allow storage pool source lookup.
Unfortunately gluster doesn't provide a management library so that we
could use that directly, instead the RPC calls are hardcoded in the
command line tool.
Commit 5e1d5dd moved the functions using isciadm to util/viriscsi.c,
but ISCSIADM was only defined when the iscsi backend was compiled in.
Define it unconditionally to fix the build (and allow testing
of viriscsi.c) even if iscsi backend is disabled.
configure check for character devices lock path calls
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED for VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH even if
$with_chrdev_lock_files = "no".
So the locking code in conf/virchrdev.c:
#ifdef VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH
is compiled in even if it shouldn't, because VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH
is defined as "no", so it tries to create lock files with strange
lock path like 'no/LCK..'.
Fix that by calling AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED only if $with_chrdev_lock_files
is not 'no'.
Systemd does not forget about the cases, where client service needs to
wait for daemon service to initialize and start accepting new clients.
Setting a dependency in client is not enough as systemd doesn't know
when the daemon has initialized itself and started accepting new
clients. However, it offers a mechanism to solve this. The daemon needs
to call a special systemd function by which the daemon tells "I'm ready
to accept new clients". This is exactly what we need with
libvirtd-guests (client) and libvirtd (daemon). So now, with this
change, libvirt-guests.service is invoked not any sooner than
libvirtd.service calls the systemd notify function.

The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is (n * (n + 1) ) / 2. This gets very large, very
quickly.
This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.
The simple usage is
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
...
29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
...
the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.
If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.
$ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime ... OK

In order to make a client-only build successful on RHEL4 (yes, you
read that correctly!), commit 3ed2e54 modified src/util/virnetdev.c so
that the functional version of virNetDevGetVLanID() was only compiled
if GET_VLAN_VID_CMD was defined. However, it is *never* defined, but
is only an enum value, so the proper version was no longer compiled
even on platforms that support it. This resulted in the vlan tag not
being properly set for guest traffic on VEPA mode guest macvtap
interfaces that were bound to a vlan interface (that's the only place
that libvirt currently uses virNetDevGetVLanID)
Since there is no way to compile conditionally based on the presence
of an enum value, this patch modifies configure.ac to check for said
enum value with AC_CHECK_DECLS(), which #defines
HAVE_DECL_GET_VLAN_VID_CMD to 1 if it's successful compiling a test
program that uses GET_VLAN_VID_CMD (and still #defines it, but to 0,
if it's not successful). We can then make the compilation of
virNetDevGetVLanID() conditional on the value of
HAVE_DECL_GET_VLAN_VID_CMD.

This patch resolves a compile issue caused by the

5eb4b04211. This issue
is only seen in a fresh checkout, but causes the build
and configure to fail.
We support gluster volumes in domain XML, so we also ought to
support them as a storage pool. Besides, a future patch will
want to take advantage of libgfapi to handle the case of a
gluster device holding qcow2 rather than raw storage, and for
that to work, we need a storage backend that can read gluster
storage volume contents. This sets up the framework.
Note that the new pool is named 'gluster' to match a
<disk type='network'><source protocol='gluster'> image source
already supported in a <domain>; it does NOT match the
<pool type='netfs'><source><target type='glusterfs'>,
since that uses a FUSE mount to a local file name rather than
a network name.
This and subsequent patches have been tested against glusterfs
3.4.1 (available on Fedora 19); there are likely bugs in older
versions that may prevent decent use of gfapi, so this patch
enforces the minimum version tested. A future patch may lower
the minimum. On the other hand, I hit at least two bugs in
3.4.1 that will be fixed in 3.5/3.4.2, where it might be worth
raising the minimum: glfs_readdir is nicer to use than
glfs_readdir_r [1], and glfs_fini should only return failure on
an actual failure [2].

The automake manual recommends against the use of disabling
maintainer mode by default:
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#maintainer_002dmode
because when it is disabled, the user gets no indication if they
touch a file that would normally require a rebuild. Automake
1.11 changed things so that AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([enable]) will set
the mode to enabled by default; but RHEL 5 still uses automake 1.9,
where AM_MAINTAINER_MODE did not recognize an argument, and
therefore disables maintainer mode by default. Having the default
be different according to which version of automake built the
project is annoying, and I _have_ been bitten on RHEL 5 rebuilds
where the default disabled mode led to silently incorrect builds.
The automake manual admits that being able to disable maintainer
mode still makes sense for projects that still store generated
files from the autotools in version control; but we have dropped
that for several years now. As such, it's finally time to just
ditch the whole idea of maintainer mode, and unconditionally
rebuild autotools files if a dependency changes, without offering
a configure option to disable that mode.

I tried to test ./configure --without-lxc --without-remote.
First, the build failed with some odd errors, such as an
inability to build xen, or link failures for virNetTLSInit.
But when you think about it, once there is no remote code,
all of libvirtd is useless, any stateful driver that depends
on libvirtd is also not worth compiling, and any libraries
used only by RPC code are not needed. So I patched
configure.ac to make for some saner defaults when an
explicit disable is attempted. Similarly, since we have
migrated virnetdevbridge into generic code, the workaround
for Linux kernel stupidity must not depend on stateful
drivers being in use.
Then there's 'make check' that needs segregation.

Fixed the safezero call for allocating the rest of the file after cloning
an existing volume; it used to always use a zero offset, causing it to

Also modified file creation to try to use fallocate(2) to pre-allocate
disk space before copying any data to make sure it fails early on if disk
is full and makes sure we can skip zero blocks when copying file contents.
If fallocate isn't available we will zero out the rest of the file after
cloning and only use sparse cloning if client requested a lower allocation
than the input volume's capacity.

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'

It's much nicer to prevent this at configure time, by requiring that
if we know what netcf used, then we want the same libnl version. As
before, this can be bypassed by someone who knows what they are doing
by setting LIBNL_CFLAGS (perhaps useful to the rare person where the
build box has a different version of netcf than the installation box).
* configure.ac (LIBNL): If we can prove netcf used libnl-3, then
don't let configure succeed with libnl-1.

Jonathan Lebon reported an issue to me off-list about his build
failing to use qemu because he failed to install yajl-devel. But
I recalled specifically tweaking configure.ac to die in that
situation (commits 350583c, ba9c38b). After a bit more
head-scratching, we found the cause of the regression: commit
654c709 rearranged things so that the qemu version check now
occurs before AC_ARG_WITH has had a chance to set either
$with_qemu or $with_yajl.
Coincidentally, this fix aligns with a documentation patch that
was just posted to the autoconf mailing list :)

The gnulib testsuite is relatively stable - the only times it is
likely to have a test change from pass to fail is on a gnulib
submodule update or a major system change (such as moving from
Fedora 18 to 19, or other large change to libc). While it is an
important test for end users on arbitrary machines (to make sure
that the portability glue works for their machine), it mostly
wastes time for development testing (as most developers aren't
making any of the major changes that would cause gnulib tests
to alter behavior). Thus, it pays to make the tests optional
at configure time, defaulting to off for development, on for
tarballs, with autobuilders requesting it to be on. It also
helps to allow a make-time override, via VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=[01]
(much the way automake sets up V=[01] for overriding the configure
time default of how verbose to be).
Automake has some pretty hard-coded magic with regards to the
TESTS variable; I had quite a job figuring out how to keep
'make distcheck' passing regardless of the configure option
setting in use, while still disabling the tests at runtime
when I did not configure them on and did not use the override
variable. Thankfully, we require GNU make, which lets me
hide some information from Automake's magic handling of TESTS.

Newer gnutls uses nettle, rather than gcrypt, which is a lot nicer
regarding initialization. Yet we were unconditionally initializing
gcrypt even when gnutls wouldn't be using it, and having two crypto
libraries linked into libvirt.so is pointless, but mostly harmless
(it doesn't crash, but does interfere with certification efforts).
There are three distinct version ranges to worry about when
determining which crypto lib gnutls uses, per these gnutls mails:
2.12: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2011-03/msg00034.html
3.0: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2011-07/msg00035.html
If pkg-config can prove version numbers and/or list the crypto
library used for static linking, we have our proof; if not, it
is safer (even if pointless) to continue to use gcrypt ourselves.

them.
For some reason these tests were also copied into the

link_addr detection in configure always reports that
link_addr is missing because it uses link_addr(NULL, NULL) in
AC_LINK_IFELSE check with limited set of headers that doesn't
define NULL.
Fix by replacing 'NULL' with just '0'.
Some versions of kFreeBSD (like 9.0) declare link_addr in a header
but lack an implementation. This makes ./configure pass but breaks
compilation later with a
undefined reference to `link_addr'
Althought that's a bug in the OS header we can detect it easily by also
trying to link.

This patch adds two sets of functions:
1) lower level virProcessSet*() functions that will immediately set
the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. RLIMIT_NPROC, or RLIMIT_NOFILE of either the
current process (using setrlimit()) or any other process (using
prlimit()). "current process" is indicated by passing a 0 for pid.
2) functions for virCommand* that will setup a virCommand object to
set those limits at a later time just after it has forked a new
process, but before it execs the new program.
configure.ac has prlimit and setrlimit added to the list of functions
to check for, and the low level functions log an "unsupported" error)
on platforms that don't support those functions.
Add a virCgroupIsolateMount method which looks at where the
current process is place in the cgroups (eg /system/demo.lxc.libvirt)
and then remounts the cgroups such that this sub-directory
becomes the root directory from the current process' POV.

Every source file is currently built twice by libtool, once for
the shared library and once for the static library. Static libs
are not commonly packaged by distros and slow down compilation
time by more than 50% compared to a shared-only build time.
Time for 'make -j 4':
shared only: 2 mins 9 secs
shared + static: 3 mins 26 secs
Time for non-parallel make
shared only: 3 mins 32 secs
shared + static: 5 mins 41 secs
Those few people who really want them, can pass --enable-static
to configure
Disabling them by default requires use of LT_INIT, but for
compat with RHEL5 we can't rely on that. So we conditionally
use LT_INIT, but fallback to AM_PROG_LIBTOOL if not present.

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.

There are many aspects of the guest XML which result in the

configuration options it is desirable to test this behaviour.
It is not possible to assume that the test suite has the
ability to set SELinux labels. Most filesystems though will
support extended attributes. Thus for the purpose of testing,
it is possible to extend the existing LD_PRELOAD hack to
