* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: update for the release
* po/*.po*: updated a number of languages translation including new
indian languages and regenerated
Given that we auto-detect whether each -Wxxxx flag is supported by
GCC, and we are warning-free and use automake silent rules, there
is no compelling reason to allow compile warnings to be disabled.
Replace the --enable-compile-warnings flag with a simpler
--enable-werror flag, which defaults to 'yes' if building
from GIT, or 'no' if building from tar.gz
This helps ensure that everyone writing patches for libvirt will
take care to fix their warning problems before submitting for
review
* autobuild.sh: Force -Werror
* configure.ac: Update for LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS macro change
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Permanently enable all warnings,
auto-enable Werror for GIT builds
Add a new flag '--with-test-suite' to configure to control whether
the test suite binaries are built by default. ie built with a
plain 'make', as opposed to delayed until 'make check'
For builds from tar.gz tests will not be built by default. For
builds from GIT, tests with be on by default, to try and ensure
that patch developers don't accidentally break the test suites
without noticing.
* configure.ac: Add --with-test-suite
* tests/Makefile.am: Use noinst_PROGRAMS instead of check_PROGRAMS
if building tests by default. Consolidate setting of TESTS and
{noinst,check}_PROGRAMS to avoid duplication
The SELinux mount point moved from /selinux to /sys/fs/selinux
when systemd came along.
* configure.ac: Probe for SELinux mount point
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Use SELinux mount point determined
by configure.ac
numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
This patch adds a set of functions used in creating console streams for
domains using PTYs and ensures mutually exclusive access to the PTYs.
If mutually exclusive access is not used, two clients may open the same
console, which results in corruption on both clients as both of them
race to read data from the PTY.
Two approaches are used to ensure this:
1) Internal data structure holding open PTYs.
This is used internally and enables the user to forcibly
terminate another console connection eg. when somebody leaves
the console open on another host.
2) UUCP style lock files:
This uses UUCP lock files according to the FHS
( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLOCKLOCKFILES )
to check if other programs (like minicom) are not using the pty
device of the console.
This feature is disabled by default and may be enabled using
configure parameter
--with-console-lock-files=/path/to/lock/file/directory
or --with-console-lock-files=auto (which tries to infer the
location from OS used (currently only linux).
On usual linux systems, normal users may not write to the
/var/lock directory containing the locks. This poses problems
while in session mode. If the current user has no access to the
lockfile directory, check for presence of the file is still
done, but no lock file is created. This does NOT result in an
error.
The /usr/include/python/pyconfig.h file pollutes the global
namespace with a huge number of HAVE_XXX and WITH_XXX
defines. These change what we detected in our own config.h
In particular if you try to build without DTrace, python's
headers turn it back on with predictable fail.
THe hack to workaround this is to rename WITH_DTRACE to
WITH_DTRACE_PROBES to avoid the namespace clash
AC_CHECK_PROG checks for program in given path. However, if it doesn't
exists, [variable] is set to [value-if-not-found]. We don't want this
to be the empty string in case of 'modprobe' and 'scrub' as we want to
fallback to runtime detection.
Currently, if scrub (used for wiping algorithms) is not present
at compile time, we don't support any other wiping algorithms than
zeroing, even if it was installed later. Switch to runtime detection
instead.
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr
Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been
written, therefore we should support other wiping algorithms.
Since we already require the kernel to be new enough to support
LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR, we might as well also require glibc to be
new enough to support epoll_create1().
* configure.ac (with_lxc): We require glibc 2.9 for LXC.
Reported and tested by Philipp Hahn.
Although the netcf interface driver can in theory be used by
the stateless drivers, in practice none of them want to use
it because they have different ways of dealing with interfaces.
Furthermore, if you have mingw32-netcf installed, then the
libvirt mingw32 build will fail with
../../src/interface/netcf_driver.c:644:5: error: unknown field 'close_used_without_including_unistd_h' specified in initializer
* configure.ac: disable netcf if built without libvirtd
Using automake.git (will become 1.12 someday), I got this error:
configure.ac:90: error: automatic de-ANSI-fication support has been removed
/usr/local/share/aclocal-1.11a/protos.m4:13: AM_C_PROTOTYPES is expanded from...
configure.ac:90: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
In short, pre-C89 compilers are no longer a viable portability
target. Besides, our code base already requires C99, so worrying
about pre-C89 seems pointless.
* configure.ac (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Drop, since newer automake no
longer provides it.
Using dtrace (and systemtap in general) is Linux-specific.
Running ./autobuild.sh shows that attempting a cross-build to
target mingw was mistakenly trying to build dtrace code, merely
because it was present on the compilation host.
* configure.ac (with_dtrace): Don't attempt to use dtrace when
doing a cross-build hosted on Linux but targetting elsewhere.
Reported by Daniel P. Berrange.
This ought to fix the build if you have net/if.h but do
not have struct ifreq
* configure.ac: Check for struct ifreq in net/if.h
* src/util/virnetdev.c: Conditionalize to avoid use of
struct ifreq if it does not exist
The logging APIs need to be able to generate formatted timestamps
using only async signal safe functions. This rules out using
gmtime/localtime/malloc/gettimeday(!) and much more.
Introduce a new internal API which is async signal safe.
virTimeMillisNowRaw replacement for gettimeofday. Uses clock_gettime
where available, otherwise falls back to the unsafe
gettimeofday
virTimeFieldsNowRaw replacements for gmtime(), convert a timestamp
virTimeFieldsThenRaw into a broken out set of fields. No localtime()
replacement is provided, because converting to
local time is not practical with only async signal
safe APIs.
virTimeStringNowRaw replacements for strftime() which print a timestamp
virTimeStringThenRaw into a string, using a pre-determined format, with
a fixed size buffer (VIR_TIME_STRING_BUFLEN)
For each of these there is also a version without the Raw postfix
which raises a full libvirt error. These versions are not async
signal safe
* src/Makefile.am, src/util/virtime.c, src/util/virtime.h: New files
* src/libvirt_private.syms: New APis
* configure.ac: Check for clock_gettime in -lrt
* tests/virtimetest.c, tests/Makefile.am: Test new APIs
virStorageBackendLogicalDeleteVol() could not remove the lv with error
"could not remove open logical volume" sometimes. Generally it's caused
by the volume is still active, even if lvremove tries to remove it with
option "--force".
This patch is to fix it by disbale the lv first using "lvchange -aln"
and "lvremove -f" afterwards if the direct "lvremove -f" failed.
This patch adds support for a systemd init service for libvirtd
and libvirt-guests. The libvirtd.service is *not* written to use
socket activation, since we want libvirtd to start on boot so it
can do guest auto-start.
The libvirt-guests.service is pretty lame, just exec'ing the
original init script for now. Ideally we would factor out the
functionality, into some shared tool.
Instead of
./configure --with-init-script=redhat
You can now do
./configure --with-init-script=systemd
Or better still:
./configure --with-init-script=systemd+redhat
We can also now support install of the upstart init script
* configure.ac: Add systemd, and systemd+redhat options to
--with-init-script option
* daemon/Makefile.am: Install systemd services
* daemon/libvirtd.sysconf: Add note about unused env variable
with systemd
* daemon/libvirtd.service.in: libvirtd systemd service unit
* libvirt.spec.in: Add scripts to installing systemd services
and migrating from legacy init scripts
* tools/Makefile.am: Install systemd services
* tools/libvirt-guests.init.sh: Rename to tools/libvirt-guests.init.in
* tools/libvirt-guests.service.in: systemd service unit
Following the renaming of the bridge management APIs, we can now
split the source file into 3 corresponding pieces
* src/util/virnetdev.c: APIs for any type of network interface
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c: APIs for bridge interfaces
* src/util/virnetdevtap.c: APIs for TAP interfaces
* src/util/virnetdev.c, src/util/virnetdev.h,
src/util/virnetdevbridge.c, src/util/virnetdevbridge.h,
src/util/virnetdevtap.c, src/util/virnetdevtap.h: Copied
from bridge.{c,h}
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h: Split into 3 pieces
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/openvz/openvz_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_command.c,
src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/uml/uml_conf.c, src/uml/uml_conf.h,
src/uml/uml_driver.c: Update #include directives
Convert the virNetDevBridgeSetSTP and virNetDevBridgeSetSTPDelay
to use ioctls instead of spawning brctl.
Implement the virNetDevBridgeGetSTP and virNetDevBridgeGetSTPDelay
methods which were declared in the header but never existed
* src/util/bridge.c: Convert to use bridge ioctls instead of brctl
While building on FreeBSD (and after fixing a ptsname_r link error),
I got this failure:
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-threads.o)(.text+0x240): In function `virThreadCreate':
util/threads-pthread.c:185: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
It turns out that gnulib used only pthread_join for LIB_PTHREAD,
but on FreeBSD, libc provides that (as a stub function); whereas
the more complex pthread_create really does require -pthread,
which gnulib tracked under [LT]LIBMULTITHREAD.
* configure.ac (LIBS): Check LIBMULTITHREAD alongside LIB_PTHREAD.
* src/Makefile.am (THREAD_LIBS): New variable.
(libvirt_util_la_LIBADD, libvirt_lxc_LDADD): Use it.
Commit 1726a73 hacked around MacOS' lack of fdatasync, since
gnulib did not have it at the time. But now that we use newer
gnulib, we can avoid the hack.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fdatasync.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Drop our own check.
Inexplicably the sanlock code all got placed under the GPLv2-only,
so libvirt's use of sanlock introduces a license incompatibility.
The sanlock developers have now rearranged the code such that there
is a 'sanlock_client.so' which is LGPLv2+ while their daemon remains
GPLv2-only. To use the new client library we need to call the new
sanlock_init and sanlock_align APIs instead of sanlock_direct_init
and sanlock_direct_align. These APIs calls are now routed via the
sanlock daemon, instead of doing direct I/O calls to disk.
For all this we require sanlock >= 1.8
* configure.ac: Check for sanlock_client.so instead of sanlock.so
and fix various comments
* libvirt.spec.in: Mandate sanlock >= 1.8
* src/Makefile.am: Link to -lsanlock_client
* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c: Use sanlock_init and
sanlock_align
Mingw lacks fsync, but gnulib provides that. Meanwhile, gnulib does
not (yet) provide fdatasync, so this is a quick hack to fake that
function on MacOS X; we can revert this configure change once gnulib
gives us a real module.
We have been implicitly relying on gnulib's largefile module being
pulled in by other modules, but it's better to make that explicit.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fsync. Make largefile use
explicit.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for fdatasync, and
fake it with fsync when not present.
When libvirt calls virInitialize it creates a thread local
for the virErrorPtr storage, and registers a callback to
cleanup memory when a thread exits. When libvirt is dlclose()d
or otherwise made non-resident, the callback function is
removed from memory, but the thread local may still exist
and if a thread later exists, it will invoke the callback
and SEGV. There may also be other thread locals with callbacks
pointing to libvirt code, so it is in general never safe to
unload libvirt.so from memory once initialized.
To allow dlclose() to succeed, but keep libvirt.so resident
in memory, link with '-z nodelete'. This issue was first
found with the libvirt CIM provider, but can potentially
hit many of the dynamic language bindings which all ultimately
involve dlopen() in some way, either on libvirt.so itself,
or on the glue code for the binding which in turns links
to libvirt
* configure.ac, src/Makefile.am: Ensure libvirt.so is linked
with -z nodelete
* cfg.mk, .gitignore, tests/Makefile.am, tests/shunloadhelper.c,
tests/shunloadtest.c: A test case to unload libvirt while
a thread is still running.
Detection based on gnutls_session doesn't work because GnuTLS 2.x.y
comes with a compat.h that defines gnutls_session to gnutls_session_t.
Instead detect this based on LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR. Move this from
configure/config.h to gnutls_1_0_compat.h and make sure that all users
include gnutls_1_0_compat.h properly.
Also fix header guard in gnutls_1_0_compat.h.
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: updates for new
release
* po/*.po*: pulled translations from the transifex teams and regenerated
localizations
Right now, every re-run of configure re-evaluates whether a
static analysis tool is in use. But if you run configure under
coverity, make a tweak, and then do an incremental rebuild with
gcc but not coverity to test the tweak, then rerun a build under
coverity, then configure does not get rerun, and static analysis
ends up with lots of false positives.
This patch caches the static analysis result, and also makes it
easier to force static analysis even if the existing checks are
insufficient to detect newer versions of the static analyzer tools.
* configure.ac (lv_cv_static_analysis): New cache variable.
Gettext annoyingly modifies CPPFLAGS in-place, putting
-I/usr/local/include into the search patch if libintl headers
must be used from that location. But since we must support
automake 1.9.6 which lacks AM_CPPFLAGS, and since CPPFLAGS is used
prior to INCLUDES, this means that the build picks up the _old_
installed libvirt.h in priority to the in-tree version, leading
to all sorts of weird build failures on FreeBSD.
Fix this by teaching configure to undo gettext's actions, but
to keep any changes required by gettext at the end of INCLUDES
after all in-tree locations are used first. Also requires
adding a wrapper Makefile.am and making gnulib-tool create
just gnulib.mk files during the bootstrap process.

I went with the shorter license notice used by src/libvirt.c,
rather than spelling out the full LGPLv2+ clause into each of
these files.
* configure.ac: Declare copyright.
* all Makefile.am: Likewise.
Even though gnutls is a hard-req for libvirt, and gnutls depends
on libtasn1, that does not mean that you have to have the libtasn1
development files installed. Skip the test rather than failing
compilation in that case.
With newer gcc, the test consumed too much stack space. Move
things to static storage to fix that.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Check for libtasn1.h.
(HAVE_LIBTASN1): New automake conditional.
* tests/Makefile.am (virnettlsconvirnettlscontexttest_SOURCES)
(virnettlscontexttest_LDADD): Allow compilation without libtasn1.
* tests/virnettlscontexttest.c: Skip test if headers not present.
(struct testTLSCertReq): Alter time members.
(testTLSGenerateCert): Reflect the change.
(mymain): Reduce stack usage.
Required for a coming patch where iohelper will operate on O_DIRECT
fds. There, the user-space memory must be aligned to file system
boundaries (at least 512, but using page-aligned works better, and
some file systems prefer 64k). Made tougher by the fact that
VIR_ALLOC won't work on void *, but posix_memalign won't work on
char * and isn't available everywhere.
This patch makes some simplifying assumptions - namely, output
to an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on an empty seekable
file (hence, no need to worry about preserving existing data
on a partial block, and ftruncate will work to undo the effects
of having to round up the size of the last block written), and
input from an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on a complete
seekable file with the only possible short read at EOF.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for posix_memalign.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO): Use aligned memory, and handle
quirks of O_DIRECT on last write.
Currently, the xen statstest and reconnect tests are only compiled
if xend is running. Compile them unconditionally if xen headers
are present, but skip the tests at runtime if xend is not running.
This is in response to Eric's suggestion here

This guts the libvirtd daemon, removing all its networking and
RPC handling code. Instead it calls out to the new virServerPtr
APIs for all its RPC & networking work
As a fallout all libvirtd daemon error reporting now takes place
via the normal internal error reporting APIs. There is no need
to call separate error reporting APIs in RPC code, nor should
code use VIR_WARN/VIR_ERROR for reporting fatal problems anymore.
