The libvirtd server pushes data out to clients. It does not
know what protocol version the client might have, so must be
conservative and use the old payload limits. ie send no more
than 256kb of data per packet.

When a client disconnects from libvirtd, all event callbacks
must be removed. This involves running the public API
virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny
This code does not run in normal API dispatch context, so no
identity was set. The result was that the access control drivers
denied the attempt to deregister callbacks. The callbacks thus
continued to trigger after the client was free'd causing fairly
predictable use of free memory & a crash.
This can be triggered by any client with readonly access when
the ACL drivers are active.

A previous patch used existing #define for the various files in /etc/pki
instead of hardcoding them in the help output. However I missed that
remote_driver.h contains #define for more paths that are present
in the daemon help output.
This commit uses the existing constants for the path to the
configuration file and to the libvirt sockets.
The 'stats' variable was not initialized to NULL, so if some
early validation of the RPC call fails, it is possible to jump
to the 'cleanup' label and VIR_FREE an uninitialized pointer.
This is a security flaw, since the API can be called from a
readonly connection which can trigger the validation checks.

commit 158ba8730e

With the existing pkcheck (pid, start time) tuple for identifying
the process, there is a race condition, where a process can make
a libvirt RPC call and in another thread exec a setuid application,
causing it to change to effective UID 0. This in turn causes polkit
to do its permission check based on the wrong UID.
To address this, libvirt must get the UID the caller had at time
of connect() (from SO_PEERCRED) and pass a (pid, start time, uid)
triple to the pkcheck program.
This fix requires that libvirt is re-built against a version of
polkit that has the fix for its CVE-2013-4288, so that libvirt
can see 'pkg-config --variable pkcheck_supports_uid polkit-gobject-1'

If we use subdir-objects with automake, any reference to a
cross-directory .c file will result in automake creating
rules that track dependency in the cross directory. But this
presents a problem during 'make distclean' - if the cross
directory is cleaned up first, then the daemon directory will
be left with dangling references to .Po dependency files that
no longer exist.
Meanwhile, referring to the cross-directory .c file means
that we are compiling the file twice - once in src, and once
in daemon. Better is to compile just once in src into a
convenience library, and then use that library from daemon.
The tests directory had a similar situation of a cross-directory
.c file; to solve that, we actually need a convenience library.

Trying to enable automake's subdir-objects option resulted in
the creation of literal directories such as src/$(srcdir)/remote/.
I traced this to the fact that we had used a literal $(srcdir)
in a location that later fed an automake *_SOURCES variable.
This has also been reported as an automake bug:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13928
but it's better to fix our code than to wait for an automake fix.
Some things to remember that affect VPATH builds, and where an
in-tree build is blissfully unaware of the issues: if a VPATH
build fails to find a file that was used as a prereq of any
other target, then the rule for that file will expand $@ to
prefer the current build dir (bad because a VPATH build on a
fresh checkout will then stick $@ in the current directory
instead of the desired srcdir); conversely, if a VPATH build
finds the file in srcdir but decides it needs to be rebuilt,
then the rule for that file will expand $@ to include the
directory where it was found out-of-date (bad for an explicit
listing of $(srcdir)/$@ because an incremental VPATH build will
then expand srcdir twice). As we want these files to go into
srcdir unconditionally, we have to massage or avoid $@ for any
recipe that involves one of these files.
Therefore, this patch removes all uses of $(srcdir) from any
generated file name that later feeds a *_SOURCES variable, and
then rewrites all the recipes to generate those files to
hard-code their creation into srcdir without the use of $@.

Add an access control driver that uses the pkcheck command
to check authorization requests. This is fairly inefficient,
particularly for cases where an API returns a list of objects
and needs to check permission for each object.
It would be desirable to use the polkit API but this links
to glib with abort-on-OOM behaviour, so can't be used. The

Currently the virGetHostname() API has a bogus virConnectPtr
parameter. This is because virtualization drivers directly
reference this API in their virDriverPtr tables, tieing its
API design to the public virConnectGetHostname API design.
This also causes problems for access control checks since
these must only be done for invocations from the public
API, not internal invocation.
Remove the bogus virConnectPtr parameter, and make each
hypervisor driver provide a dedicated function for the
driver API impl. This will allow access control checks
to be easily inserted later.

Since PIDs can be reused, polkit prefers to be given
a (PID,start time) pair. If given a PID on its own,
it will attempt to lookup the start time in /proc/pid/stat,
though this is subject to races.
It is safer if the client app resolves the PID start
time itself, because as long as the app has the client
socket open, the client PID won't be reused.

This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

As of 1a50ba2cb0 qemu capabilities probing

Currently to deal with auto-shutdown libvirtd must periodically
poll all stateful drivers. Thus sucks because it requires
acquiring both the driver lock and locks on every single virtual
machine. Instead pass in a "inhibit" callback to virStateInitialize
which drivers can invoke whenever they want to inhibit shutdown
due to existance of active VMs.

This will simplify the refactoring of the ESX storage driver to support
a VMFS and an iSCSI backend.
One of the tasks the storage driver needs to do is to decide which backend
driver needs to be invoked for a given request. This approach extends
virStoragePool and virStorageVol to store extra parameters:
1. privateData: stores pointer to respective backend storage driver.
2. privateDataFreeFunc: stores cleanup function pointer.
virGetStoragePool and virGetStorageVol are modfied to accept these extra
parameters as user params. virStoragePoolDispose and virStorageVolDispose
checks for cleanup operation if available.
The private data pointer allows the ESX storage driver to store a pointer
to the used backend with each storage pool and volume. This avoids the need
to detect the correct backend in each storage driver function call.
The libvirt coding standard is to use 'function(...args...)'
instead of 'function (...args...)'. A non-trivial number of
places did not follow this rule and are fixed in this patch.

It turns out that calling virNodeGetCPUMap(conn, NULL, NULL, 0)
is both useful, and with Viktor's patches, common enough to
optimize. Since this interface hasn't been released yet, we
can change the RPC call.
A bit more background on the optimization - learning the cpu count
is a single file read (/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible), but
learning the number of online cpus can possibly trigger a file
read per cpu, depending on the age of the kernel, and all wasted
if the caller passed NULL for both arguments.
* src/nodeinfo.c (nodeGetCPUMap): Avoid bitmap when not needed.
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x (remote_node_get_cpu_map_args):
Supply two separate flags for needed arguments.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteNodeGetCPUMap): Update
caller.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteDispatchNodeGetCPUMap): Likewise.
* src/remote_protocol-structs: Regenerate.
Commit 905be03d2 quit using the abstract namespace, but didn't
update the --help text to match.
* daemon/libvirtd.c (daemonUsage): Correct socket listing.
