cd921cf077 Handle non-sequential NUMA node numbers
On some platforms like IBM PowerNV the NUMA node numbers can be
non-sequential. For eg. numactl --hardware o/p from such a machine looks
as given below

node distances:
   node   0   1  16  17
     0:  10  40  40  40
     1:  40  10  40  40
    16:  40  40  10  40
    17:  40  40  40  10

The NUMA nodes are 0,1,16,17

Libvirt uses sequential index as NUMA node numbers and this can
result in crash or incorrect results.

d27e6bc40f qemu: introduce spiceport chardev backend
Add a new backend for any character device.  This backend uses channel
in spice connection.  This channel is similar to spicevmc, but
all-purpose in contrast to spicevmc.

Apart from spicevmc, spiceport-backed chardev will not be formatted
into the command-line if there is no spice to use (with test for that
as well).  For this I moved the def->graphics counting to the start
of the function so its results can be used in rest of the code even in
the future.

a53e504052 qemu: rework '-serial none'
Limiting ourselves to qemu without QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE capability, we
used '-serial none' only if there was no serial device defined in the
domain XML.  This means that if we want to have a possibility of the
device being defined in XML, but not used in the command-line
(e.g. when it's pointless), we'll fail to attach '-serial none' to the
command-line (when skipping the device's command-line building and the
device being the only one).

Since there is no such device, this patch doesn't actually do
anything, but enables easier future additions in this manner.

0144d72963 build: correctly check for SOICGIFVLAN GET_VLAN_VID_CMD command
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.

b60644f38f virpci: Resolve coverity issues
Coverity complains about "USE_AFTER_FREE" due to how virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver
"could" return either -1, 0, or 1 from the VIR_STRDUP() and then possibly makes
a call to virPCIDeviceDetach().

The only way this could happen is if NULL were passed as the "driver" name
and virStrdup() returned 0.  Since the calling functions check < 0 on the
initial function call, the 0 possibility causes Coverity to complain.

To fix this - enforce that the second parameter is not NULL using
ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(2) for the function prototype, then in virPCIDeviceDetach
add an sa_assert(dev->stubDriver). This will result in Coverity not complaining
any more.

778067e195 libxl: improve subprocess handling
If available, let libxl handle reaping any children it creates by
specifying libxl_sigchld_owner_libxl_always_selective_reap.  This
feature was added to improve subprocess handling in libxl when used
in an application that does not install a SIGCHLD handler like
libvirt

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-01/msg01555.html

Prior to this patch, it is possible to hit asserts in libxl when
reaping subprocesses, particularly during simultaneous operations
on multiple domains.  With this patch, and the corresponding changes
to libxl, I no longer see the asserts.  Note that the libxl changes
will be included in Xen 4.4.0.  Previous Xen versions will be
susceptible to hitting the asserts even with this patch applied to
the libvirt libxl driver.

03b3f8940a libxl: handle domain shutdown events in a thread
Handling the domain shutdown event within the event handler seems
a bit unfair to libxl's event machinery.  Domain "shutdown" could
take considerable time.  E.g. if the shutdown reason is reboot,
the domain must be reaped and then started again.

Spawn a shutdown handler thread to do this work, allowing libxl's
event machinery to go about its business.

eaa8d9b2c7 libxl: remove list of timer registrations from libxlDomainObjPrivate
Due to some misunderstanding of requirements libxl places on timer
handling, I introduced the half-brained idea of maintaining a list
of timeouts that the driver could force to expire before freeing a
libxlDomainObjPrivate (and hence libxl_ctx).  But testing all
the latest versions of Xen supported by the libxl driver (4.2.3,
4.3.1, 4.4.0 RC3), I see that libxl will handle this just fine and
there is no need to force expiration behind libxl's back.  Indeed it
may be harmful to do so.

This patch removes the timer list, allowing libxl to handle cleanup
of its timer registrations.

cda52dbfe5 libxl: fix leaking libxlDomainObjPrivate
When libxl registers an FD with the libxl driver, the refcnt of the
associated libxlDomainObjPrivate object is incremented. The refcnt
is decremented when libxl deregisters the FD.  But some FDs are only
deregistered when their libxl ctx is freed, which unfortunately is
done in the libxlDomainObjPrivate dispose function.  With references
held by the FDs, libxlDomainObjPrivate is never disposed.

I added the ref/unref in FD registration/deregistration when adding
the same in timer registration/deregistration.  For timers, this
is a simple approach to ensuring the libxlDomainObjPrivate is not
disposed prior to their expirtation, which libxl guarantees will
occur.  It is not needed for FDs, and only causes
libxlDomainObjPrivate to leak.

This patch removes the reference on libxlDomainObjPrivate for FD
registrations, but retains them for timer registrations.  Tested on
the latest releases of Xen supported by the libxl driver:  4.2.3,
4.3.1, and 4.4.0 RC3.

With my recent work on the test, both time() and localtime() are used.
While mocking the former one, we get predictable result for UTC. But
since the latter function uses timezone to get local time, the result of

at the beginning of the test. To be able to catch some things that work

11f20e43f1 event: move event filtering to daemon (regression fix)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1058839

Commit f9f56340 for CVE-2014-0028 almost had the right idea - we
need to check the ACL rules to filter which events to send.  But
it overlooked one thing: the event dispatch queue is running in
the main loop thread, and therefore does not normally have a
current virIdentityPtr.  But filter checks can be based on current
identity, so when libvirtd.conf contains access_drivers=["polkit"],
we ended up rejecting access for EVERY event due to failure to
look up the current identity, even if it should have been allowed.

Furthermore, even for events that are triggered by API calls, it
is important to remember that the point of events is that they can
be copied across multiple connections, which may have separate
identities and permissions.  So even if events were dispatched
from a context where we have an identity, we must change to the
correct identity of the connection that will be receiving the
event, rather than basing a decision on the context that triggered
the event, when deciding whether to filter an event to a
particular connection.

If there were an easy way to get from virConnectPtr to the
appropriate virIdentityPtr, then object_event.c could adjust the
identity prior to checking whether to dispatch an event.  But
setting up that back-reference is a bit invasive.  Instead, it
is easier to delay the filtering check until lower down the
stack, at the point where we have direct access to the RPC
client object that owns an identity.  As such, this patch ends
up reverting a large portion of the framework of commit f9f56340.
We also have to teach 'make check' to special-case the fact that
the event registration filtering is done at the point of dispatch,
rather than the point of registration.  Note that even though we
don't actually use virConnectDomainEventRegisterCheckACL (because
the RegisterAny variant is sufficient), we still generate the
function for the purposes of documenting that the filtering
takes place.

Also note that I did not entirely delete the notion of a filter
from object_event.c; I still plan on using that for my upcoming
patch series for qemu monitor events in libvirt-qemu.so.  In
other words, while this patch changes ACL filtering to live in
remote.c and therefore we have no current client of the filtering
in object_event.c, the notion of filtering in object_event.c is
still useful down the road.

* src/check-aclrules.pl: Exempt event registration from having to
pass checkACL filter down call stack.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteRelayDomainEventCheckACL)

On Fedora 20, with wireshark-devel installed, 'make rpm' failed
due to installed but unpackaged files related to wireshark.  As
F20 is already released without wireshark, I chose to add a new
sub-package that is enabled only for F21 and later.  Furthermore,
all existing wireshark plugins belong to the wireshark package,
so I got to invent behavior of how the first third-party wireshark
module will behave.

* libvirt.spec.in (with_wireshark): Add new conditional.
* configure.ac (ws-plugindir): Improve wording.

eafb53fec2 network: disallow <bandwidth>/<mac> for bridged/macvtap/hostdev networks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057321

pointed out that we weren't honoring the <bandwidth> element in
libvirt networks using <forward mode='bridge'/>. In fact, these
networks are just a method of giving a libvirt network name to an
existing Linux host bridge on the system, and libvirt doesn't have
enough information to know where to set such limits. We are working on
a method of supporting network bandwidths for some specific cases of
<forward mode='bridge'/>, but currently libvirt doesn't support it. So
the proper thing to do now is just log an error when someone tries to
put a <bandwidth> element in that type of network. (It's unclear if we
will be able to do proper bandwidth limiting for macvtap networks, and
most definitely we will not be able to support it for hostdev
networks).

While looking through the network XML documentation and comparing it
to the networkValidate function, I noticed that we also ignore the
presence of a mac address in the config in the same cases, rather than
failing so that the user will understand that their desired action has
not been taken.

This patch updates networkValidate() (which is called any time a
persistent network is defined, or a transient network created) to log
an error and fail if it finds either a <bandwidth> or <mac> element
and the network forward mode is anything except 'route'. 'nat', or
nothing. (Yes, neither of those elements is acceptable for any macvtap
mode, nor for a hostdev network).

NB: This does *not* cause failure to start any existing network that
contains one of those elements, so someone might have erroneously
defined such a network in the past, and that network will continue to
function unmodified. I considered it too disruptive to suddenly break
working configs on the next reboot after a libvirt upgrade.

a6992f600b Fix minor typo in governance doc
While at it, also relinquish active commit rights:
[x years between commits] is probably a poster child example of inactivity :)

19259574d5 Honor blacklist for modprobe command
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045124

When loading modules, libvirt does not honor the modprobe blacklist.
Use the new virKModLoad() API in order to attempt load with blacklist check.
Use the new virKModIsBlacklisted() API to check if the failure to load
was due to the blacklist
