* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Provide struct in6_addr, since
linux/if_bridge.h uses it without declaring it.
(cherry picked from commit c308a9ae15)
Commit 6e769eba made it a runtime error if libvirt was compiled
without yajl support but targets a new enough qemu. But enough
users are hitting this on self-compiled libvirt that it is worth
erroring out at compilation time, rather than an obscure failure
when trying to use the built executable.
* configure.ac: If qemu is requested and -version works, require
yajl when qemu version is new enough.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags): Add
comment.
(cherry picked from commit 350583c859)
* configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_STDC): Stop using this macro.
It provokes warnings from newer automake and is superseded by
autoconf's AC_PROG_CC, which we're already using.

Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.
This results in output like:

(cherry picked from commit 548563956e)
Since now we pre-set memory policy using libnuma to fully
drive numad, it needs to check numactl-devel if "with_numad"
is "yes".
configure with groups "--with-numad=yes --with-numactl=yes",
"--with-numad=no --with-numactl=yes", "--with-numad=yes
--with-numactl=yes" works fine after the change.

Commit 8fe455fd36 tried to work around
a regression introduced in upstream gnulib that requires gettext 0.18
or newer on all projects using bootstrap, by making libvirt require
gettext 0.18. But this fails on RHEL 6.2, which still ships gettext
0.17. Revert that change, and instead, import the latest round of
gnulib updates that fix that problem properly.
If you have already built in the window where libvirt required 0.18,
be aware that incremental updates may run into problems: this is
because 'autopoint --force' will not downgrade m4/po.m4 back to an
older version, but it must be downgraded back to 0.17 levels to work
with this patch. You may either manually remove that file then rerun
bootstrap, or it may prove easier to just clean up all non-git files
to start from a clean slate.
* bootstrap.conf: Revert minimum gettext back to 0.17.
* configure.ac: Likewise.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
Commit c9cd419cab added copying of the
makefile for translation files from gnulib. The makefile from gnulib is
of version 0.18 but the build configuration cretes macros from version
0.17 which breaks the build with message:
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from
gettext version 0.18 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version
0.17
since this isn't available on older kernels such as Debian Squeeze's
2.6.32. This make --with-macvtap=check work as expected.

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

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, src/util/virnetdev.h,

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.
