6e53293812 spec: fix inverted logic on sanlock
Commit d336dbdb tried to refactor sanlock to avoid building it
on RHEL for architectures where it is not available, but used
the wrong conditional.

* libvirt.spec.in (with_sanlock): Use %ifarch, not %ifnarch.

972f7e6e49 docs: tweak 'virsh edit' wording
I was wondering why 'virsh edit' didn't support the same
'--inactive' option as 'virsh dumpxml'; reading the source
code showed that --inactive was already implied, and that
the only way to alter a running guest rather than affecting
next boot is by hot-plugging individual devices, or by
something complex like saving the guest and modifying the
save image.

* tools/virsh.pod (define, edit): Mention behavior when guest is
already running.

380f326955 storage: Fix a potential crash when creating vol object
If the vol object is newly created, it increases the volumes count,
but doesn't decrease the volumes count when do cleanup. It can
cause libvirtd to crash when one trying to free the volume objects
like:
    for (i = 0; i < pool->volumes.count; i++)
        virStorageVolDefFree(pool->volumes.objs[i]);

It's more reliable if we add the newly created vol object in the
end.

104046712f build: follow directory install conventions
Commit 4d9e51f6 fixed a 'make uninstall' failure, but failed
to follow other conventions already present in src/Makefile.am.
In particular, we prefer MKDIR_P over mkdir -p, and should
have a matching rmdir during uninstall for every directory
created during install (the idea being that uninstall in a
DESTDIR should be clean, while installation in the final
system should not fail with non-empty directories left behind).

(install-systemd): Use MKDIR_P.
(uninstall-sysconfig, uninstall-initscript, uninstall-systemd):
Also remove directories.

5547d2b81c qemu: Disable EOF processing during qemuDomainDestroy
When destroying a domain qemuDomainDestroy kills its qemu process and
starts a new job, which means it unlocks the domain object and locks it
again after some time. Although the object is usually unlocked for a
pretty short time, chances are another thread processing an EOF event on
qemu monitor is able to lock the object first and does all the cleanup
by itself. This leads to wrong shutoff reason and lifecycle event detail
and virDomainDestroy API incorrectly reporting failure to destroy an
inactive domain.

Reported by Charlie Smurthwaite.

7204a9fd31 test: replace deprecated "fedora-13" machine with "pc-0.13"
One of the xml tests in the test suite was created using a
now-deprecated qemu machine type ("fedora-13", which was only ever
valid for Fedora builds of qemu). Although strictly speaking it's not
necessary to replace it with an actual supported qemu machine type
(since the xml in question is never actually sent to qemu), this patch
changes it to the actually-supported "pc-0.13" just for general
tidiness. (Also, on some Fedora builds which contain a special patch
to rid the world of "fedora-13", having it mentioned in the test suite
will cause make check to fail.)

ae1232b298 network: don't add iptables rules for externally managed networks
This patch addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760442

When a network has any forward type other than route, nat or none, the
network configuration should be done completely external to libvirt -
libvirt only uses these types to allow configuring guests in a manner
that isn't tied to a specific host (all the host-specific information,
in particular interface names, port profile data, and bandwidth
configuration is in the network definition, and the guest
configuration only references it).

Due to a bug in the bridge network driver, libvirt was adding iptables
rules for networks with forward type='bridge' etc. any time libvirtd
was restarted while one of these networks was active.

This patch eliminates that error by only "reloading" iptables rules if
forward type is route, nat, or none.

33eb3567dd Pass the VM's UUID into the nwfilter subsystem
A preparatory patch for DHCP snooping where we want to be able to
differentiate between a VM's interface using the tuple of
<VM UUID, Interface MAC address>. We assume that MAC addresses could
possibly be re-used between different networks (VLANs) thus do not only
want to rely on the MAC address to identify an interface.

At the current 'final destination' in virNWFilterInstantiate I am leaving
the vmuuid parameter as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED until the DHCP snooping patches arrive.
(we may not post the DHCP snooping patches for 0.9.9, though)

Mostly this is a pretty trivial patch. On the lowest layers, in lxc_driver
and uml_conf, I am passing the virDomainDefPtr around until I am passing
only the VM's uuid into the NWFilter calls.

set, then 0%{rhel} <= 6 made the %if always true.  Checking for
minimum versions (via >=) is okay, but checking for maximum versions
(via <=) requires a prerequisite test that the platform being tested
is non-zero.

Also fix a bogus setting of with_libxl (although we previously
hard-code with_libxl to 0 for rhel earlier in the file, so this
was not as severe a bug).

* libvirt.spec.in (with_cgconfig): Don't enable cgconfig on F16.

9c417636c4 spec: make it easier to autoreconf when building rpm
Over time, Fedora and RHEL RPMs have often backported upstream
patches that touched configure.ac and/or Makefile.am; this
necessitates rerunning the autotools for the patch to be effective.
Making this a one-liner spec tweak will make it easier for future
backports to pull patches without having to find all the places
to touch to properly use the autotools.  Meanwhile, there have been
historical instances where an update in the autotools caused FTBFS
situations, so this is not on by default.

* libvirt.spec.in (enable_autotools): New variable, default off.
(BuildRequires): Conditionally add autotools.
(%build): Conditionally use them before configure.
* mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Likewise.

478a4d07ac Fix installation of libvirt-guests.service
The installation rules for the libvirt-guests.service were
totally broken

 - Installing in the wrong location
 - The location was not overridable
 - The install-systemd rule was not invoked anywhere
 - The install-systemd rule was not invoking install-initscript
   which it depends on
 - The installed service file lacked a .service extension

* tools/Makefile.am: Fix install of libvirt-guests.service

011a3350be Ensure to prefix %{buildroot} when overriding systemd install location
The %makeinstall macro does not set DESTDIR, instead of explicitly
prefixes %{buildroot} onto all paths. Thus we need to do the same
when setting the systemd unit dir

* libvirt.spec.in: Prefix %{buildroot} onto %{unitdir}

5e6ce1c936 Clean up qemuBuildCommandLine to remove x86-specific
assumptions from generic code.

This implements the minimal set of changes needed in libvirt to launch a
PowerPC-KVM based guest.
It removes x86-specific assumptions about choice of serial driver backend
from generic qemu guest commandline generation code.
It also restricts the ACPI capability to be available for an x86 or
x86_64 domain.
This is not a complete solution -- it still does not guarantee libvirt
the capability to flag non-supported options in guest XML. (Eg, an ACPI
specification in a PowerPC guest XML will still get processed, even
though qemu-system-ppc64 does not support it while qemu-system-x86_64 does.)
This drawback exists because libvirt falls back on qemu to query supported
features, and qemu '-h' blindly lists all capabilities -- irrespective
of whether they are available while emulating a given architecture or not.
The long-term solution would be for qemu to list out capabilities based
on architecture and platform -- so that libvirt can cleanly make out what
devices are supported on an arch (say 'ppc64') and platform (say, 'mac99').

9bb8064dff Add support for ppc64 qemu
This enables libvirt to select the correct qemu binary (qemu-system-ppc64)
for a guest vm based on arch 'ppc64'.
Also, libvirt is enabled to correctly parse the list of supported PowerPC
CPUs, generated by running 'qemu-system-ppc64 -cpu ?'

to proc/cpuinfo

This patch creates a new sysfs hierarchy under

Output files and /proc/cpuinfo files are also respectively added for
both x86 and ppc64.

f99b3b4b50 Use sysfs to gather host topology, in place of
/proc/cpuinfo

Libvirt at present depends on /proc/cpuinfo to gather host
details such as CPUs, cores, threads, etc. This is an architecture-
dependent approach. An alternative is to use 'Sysfs', which provides
a platform-agnostic interface to parse host CPU topology.

fea83dde7b spec: don't use chkconfig --list
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694403 reports that
the specfile is incorrectly checking for a running libvirt-guests
service.  For example,

$ LC_ALL=es_ES chkconfig --list libvirt-guests
libvirt-guests 	  0:desactivado		 1:desactivado	   2:desactivado     3:activo	 4:activo  5:activo	    6:desactivado

will fail to find 5:on, even though it is active.  But chkconfig
already has a mode where you can silently use the exit status to
check for an active service.

* libvirt.spec.in (%post): Use simpler chkconfig options, to avoid
issues with localization.
