Change bbe97ae968 caused the
QEMU driver to ignore ENOENT errors from cgroups, in order
to cope with missing /proc/cgroups. This is not good though
because many other things can cause ENOENT and should not
be ignored. The callers expect to see ENXIO when cgroups
are not present, so adjust the code to report that errno
when /proc/cgroups is missing

Found that I was unable to start existing domains after updating
to a kernel with no cgroups support
# zgrep CGROUP /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_CGROUPS is not set
# virsh start test
error: Failed to start domain test
error: Unable to initialize /machine cgroup: Cannot allocate memory
virCgroupPartitionNeedsEscaping() correctly returns errno (ENOENT) when
attempting to open /proc/cgroups on such a system, but it was being
dropped in virCgroupSetPartitionSuffix().
Change virCgroupSetPartitionSuffix() to propagate errors returned by
its callees. Also check for ENOENT in qemuInitCgroup() when determining
if cgroups support is available.
If a user cgroup name begins with "cgroup.", "_" or with any of
the controllers from /proc/cgroups followed by a dot, then they
need to be prefixed with a single underscore. eg if there is
an object "cpu.service", then this would end up as "_cpu.service"
in the cgroup filesystem tree, however, "waldo.service" would
stay "waldo.service", at least as long as nobody comes up with
a cgroup controller called "waldo".
Since we require a '.XXXX' suffix on all partitions, there is
no scope for clashing with the kernel 'tasks' and 'release_agent'
files.

If the partition named passed in the XML does not already have
a suffix, ensure it gets a '.partition' added to each component.
The exceptions are /machine, /user and /system which do not need
to have a suffix, since they are fixed partitions at the top
level.

Recently we changed to create VM cgroups with the naming pattern
$VMNAME.$DRIVER.libvirt. Following discussions with the systemd
community it was decided that only having a single '.' in the
names is preferrable. So this changes the naming scheme to be
$VMNAME.libvirt-$DRIVER. eg for LXC 'mycontainer.libvirt-lxc' or
for KVM 'myvm.libvirt-qemu'.

POSIX says that both basename() and dirname() may return static
storage (aka they need not be thread-safe); and that they may but
not must modify their input argument. Furthermore, <libgen.h>
is not available on all platforms. For these reasons, you should
never use these functions in a multi-threaded library.
Gnulib instead recommends a way to avoid the portability nightmare:
gnulib's "dirname.h" provides useful thread-safe counterparts. The
obvious dir_name() and base_name() are GPL (because they malloc(),
but call exit() on failure) so we can't use them; but the LGPL
variants mdir_name() (malloc's or returns NULL) and last_component
(always points into the incoming string without modifying it,
differing from basename semantics only on corner cases like the
empty string that we shouldn't be hitting in the first place) are
already in use in libvirt. This finishes the swap over to the safe
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.

If a cgroup controller is co-mounted with another, eg
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct
Then it is a requirement that there exist symlinks at
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct
pointing to the real mount point. Add support to virCgroupPtr
to detect and track these symlinks

The virCgroupNewDriver method had a 'bool privileged' param.
If a false value was ever passed in, it would simply not
work, since non-root users don't have any privileges to create
new cgroups. Just delete this broken code entirely and make
the QEMU driver skip cgroup setup in non-privileged mode

Currently the virCgroupPtr struct contains 3 pieces of
information
- path - path of the cgroup, relative to current process'
cgroup placement
- placement - current process' placement in each controller
- mounts - mount point of each controller
When reading/writing cgroup settings, the path & placement
strings are combined to form the file path. This approach
only works if we assume all cgroups will be relative to
the current process' cgroup placement.
To allow support for managing cgroups at any place in the
heirarchy a change is needed. The 'placement' data should
reflect the absolute path to the cgroup, and the 'path'
value should no longer be used to form the paths to the
cgroup attribute files.

Rename all the virCgroupForXXX methods to use the form
virCgroupNewXXX since they are all constructors. Also
make sure the output parameter is the last one in the

The definition of structs for cgroups are kept in vircgroup.c since
they are intended to be private from users of the API. To enable
effective testing, however, they need to be accessible. To address
the latter issue, without compronmising the former, this introduces
a new vircgrouppriv.h file to hold the struct definitions.
To prevent other files including this private header, it requires
that __VIR_CGROUP_ALLOW_INCLUDE_PRIV_H__ be defined before inclusion

The virCgroupMounted method is badly named, since a controller can be
mounted, but disabled in the current object. Rename the method to be
virCgroupHasController. Also make it tolerant to a NULL virCgroupPtr

checks in all callers

Currently when getting an instance of virCgroupPtr we will
create the path in all cgroup controllers. Only at the virt
driver layer are we attempting to filter controllers. This
is bad because the mere act of creating the dirs in the
controllers can have a functional impact on the kernel,
particularly for performance.
Update the virCgroupForDriver() method to accept a bitmask
of controllers to use. Only create dirs in the controllers
that are requested. When creating cgroups for domains,
respect the active controller list from the parent cgroup

The code for putting the emulator threads in a separate cgroup
would spam the logs with warnings

2013-02-27 16:08:26.732+0000: 29624: warning : virCgroupMoveTask:887 : no vm cgroup in controller 6
This is because it has only created child cgroups for 3 of the
controllers, but was trying to move the processes from all the
controllers. The fix is to only try to move threads in the
controllers we actually created. Also remove the warning and
make it return a hard error to avoid such lazy callers in the
future.
