The log filters have supported the use of a "+" before the source match

commit 548563956e
Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Date: Wed May 9 15:18:56 2012 +0100
Allow stack traces to be included with log messages
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'.
With the huge & ever increasing number of logging statements per file,
this will be incredibly verbose and have a major performance penalty.
This makes the feature impractical to use widely and as such it is not
worth the code maint cost.
Removing this seldom used feature allows us to drop the 'execinfo'
module in gnulib which provides the backtrace() function which doesn't
exist on non-Linux.
Users who want to get stack traces of parts of libvirt can use GDB,
or systemtap for live tracing with minimal perf impact.

of which macros were used to declare the cleanup types.
Within the scope of any single method, code must remain consistent

gmem: clarify that g_malloc always uses the system allocator
Applications can still use custom allocators in general, but they must

This means that libvirt does not need to be concerned about use of
g_malloc/g_free causing an ABI change in the public libary, and can
avoid memory copying when talking to external libraries.
This patch probes for glib, which provides the foundation layer with
a collection of data structures, helper APIs, and platform portability

Although <interface type='ethernet'> has always been able to use an
existing tap device, this is just a coincidence due to the fact that
the same ioctl is used to create a new tap device or get a handle to
an existing device.
Even then, once we have the handle to the device, we still insist on
doing extra setup to it (setting the MAC address and IFF_UP). That
*might* be okay if libvirtd is running as a privileged process, but if
libvirtd is running as an unprivileged user, those attempted
modifications to the tap device will fail (yes, even if the tap is set
to be owned by the user running libvirtd). We could avoid this if we
knew that the device already existed, but as stated above, an existing
device and new device are both accessed in the same manner, and
anyway, we need to preserve existing behavior for those who are
already using pre-existing devices with privileged libvirtd (and
allowing/expecting libvirt to configure the pre-existing device).
In order to cleanly support the idea of using a pre-existing and
pre-configured tap device, this patch introduces a new optional
attribute "managed" for the interface <target> element. This
attribute is only valid for <interface type='ethernet'> (since all
other interface types have mandatory config that doesn't apply in the
case where we expect the tap device to be setup before we
get it). The syntax would look something like this:
<interface type='ethernet'>
<target dev='mytap0' managed='no'/>
...
</interface>
This patch just adds managed to the grammar and parser for <target>,
but has no functionality behind it.
(NB: when managed='no' (the default when not specified is 'yes'), the
target dev is always a name explicitly provided, so we don't
auto-remove it from the config just because it starts with "vnet"
(VIR_NET_GENERATED_TAP_PREFIX); this makes it possible to use the
same pattern of names that libvirt itself uses when it automatically
creates the tap devices.)

Now that we have $(modules), however, we can generate the

That this bug went unnoticed for so long is a sign of how few
people are using the devhelp docs. The only commits to the devhelp
code since it was first introduced have been fixing various build
problems that hit.
The only obvious difference between the two sets of docs is the CSS
styling in use. Overall devhelp does not look compelling enough to
justify having two duplicated sets of API docs. Eliminating it will
reduce the amount of XSL code we are carrying in the tree which is
an attractive benefit.

Historically URIs handled by the remote driver will always connect to
the libvirtd UNIX socket. There will now be one daemon per driver, and
each of these has its own UNIX sockets to connect to.
It will still be possible to run the traditional monolithic libvirtd
though, which will have the original UNIX socket path.
In addition there is a virproxyd daemon that doesn't run any drivers,
but provides proxying for clients accessing libvirt over IP sockets, or
tunnelling to the legacy libvirtd UNIX socket path.
Finally when running inside a daemon, the remote driver must not reject
connections unconditionally. For example, the QEMU driver needs to be
able to connect to the network driver. The remote driver must thus be
willing to handle connections even when inside the daemon, provided no
local driver is registered.
This refactoring enables the remote driver to be able to connect to the
per-driver daemons. The URI parameter "mode" accepts the values "auto",
"direct" and "legacy" to control which daemons are connected to.
The client side libvirt.conf config file also supports a "remote_mode"
setting which is used if the URI parameter is not set.
If neither the config file or URI parameter set a mode, then "auto"
is used, whereby the client looks to see which sockets actually exist
right now.
The remote driver will only ever spawn the per-driver daemons, or
the legacy libvirtd. It won't ever try to spawn virtproxyd, as
that is only there for IP based connectivity, or for access from
legacy remote clients.
If connecting to a remote host over any kind of ssh tunnel, for now we
must assume only the legacy socket exists. A future patch will introduce
a netcat replacement that is tailored for libvirt to make remote
tunnelling easier.
The configure arg '--with-remote-default-mode=legacy|direct' allows
packagers to set a default at build time. If not given, it will default
to legacy mode.
Eventually the default will switch to direct mode. Distros can choose
to do the switch earlier if desired. The main blocker is testing and
suitable SELinux/AppArmor policies.

Introduce a bunch of new public APIs related to backup checkpoints.
Checkpoints are modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both
represent a point in time of the guest), although a snapshot exists
with the intent of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint
exists to make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time. We may have a future hypervisor that can completely manage
checkpoints without libvirt metadata, but the first two planned
hypervisors (qemu and test) both always use libvirt for tracking
metadata relations between checkpoints, so for now, I've deferred
the counterpart of virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata for a separate
API addition at a later date if there is ever a need for it.
Note that until we allow snapshots and checkpoints to exist
simultaneously on the same domain (although the actual prevention of
this will be in a separate patch for the sake of an easier revert down
the road), that it is not possible to branch out to create more than
one checkpoint child to a given parent, although it may become
possible later when we revert to a snapshot that coincides with a
checkpoint. This also means that for now, the decision of which
checkpoint becomes the parent of a newly created one is the only
checkpoint with no child (so while there are APIs for dealing with a
current snapshot, we do not need those for checkpoints). We may end
up exposing a notion of a current checkpoint later, but it's easier to
add stuff when proven needed than to blindly support it now and wish
we hadn't exposed it.
The following map shows the API relations to snapshots, with new APIs
on the right:
Operate on a domain object to create/redefine a child:
virDomainSnapshotCreateXML virDomainCheckpointCreateXML

virDomainSnapshotDelete virDomainCheckpointDelete
virDomainSnapshotFree virDomainCheckpointFree

virDomainSnapshotPtr. See the docs for more details.
Add testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML (bare minimum,
the sample from html, and a full dumpxml, and some counter-examples
that should fail schema validation). Although use of the REDEFINE flag
will require the <domain> subelement to be present, it is easier for
most of the tests to provide counterpart output produced with the
NO_DOMAIN flag (particularly since synthesizing a valid <domain>
during testing is not trivial).

connect: Drop avahi support
Libvirtd can advertise itself over avahi. The feature is disabled by
default though and in practice I hear of no one actually using it
and frankly I don't think it's all that useful
The 'Open Connection' wizard has a disproportionate amount of code
devoted to this feature, but I don't think it's useful or worth
maintaining, so let's drop it
I've never heard of any other applications having support for using
mDNS to detect libvirtd instances. Though it is theoretically possible
something exists out there, it is clearly going to be a niche use case
in the virt ecosystem as a whole.
By removing avahi integration we can cut down the dependency chain for
the basic libvirtd install and reduce our code maint burden.

Signed-off-by: Fabiano Fidêncio <fidencio@redhat.com>
None of the existing drivers actually use the 0-valued 'nostate'
snapshot state; rather, it was a fluke of implementation. In fact,
some drivers, like qemu, actively reject 'nostate' as invalid during a
snapshot redefine. Normally, a driver computes the state post-parse
from the current domain, and thus virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc() will
never expose the state. However, since the testsuite lacks any
associated domain to copy state from, and lacks post-parse processing
that normal drivers have, the testsuite output had several spots with
the state, coupled with a regex filter to ignore the oddity.
It is better to follow the lead of other XML defaults, by not
outputting anything during format if post-parse defaults have not been
applied, and rejecting the default value during parsing. The testsuite
needs a bit of an update, by adding another flag for when to simulate
a post-parse action of setting a snapshot state, but none of the
drivers are impacted other than rejecting XML that was previously
already suspicious in nature.
Similarly, don't expose creation time 0 (for now, only possible if a
user redefined a snapshot to claim creation at the Epoch, but also
happens once setting the creation time is deferred to a post-parse
handler).
This is also a step towards cleaning up snapshot_conf.c to separate
its existing post-parse work (namely, setting the creationTime and
default snapshot name) from the pure parsing work, so that we can get
rid of the testsuite hack of regex filtering of the XML and instead
have more accurate testing of our parser/formatter code.

Based on recent list questions about the proposed addition of
virDomainCheckpointCreateXML(REDEFINE), it is worth adding some
clarification to the existing snapshot redefine documentation that is
serving as the basis for checkpoints.
Normal snapshot creation requires very few elements from the user XML
(libvirt can pick sane defaults for items that are omitted, and many
fields, including <domain>, are documented as readonly output fields
ignored on input, produced by drivers that track it). But during
REDEFINE, the API wants the complete XML produced by an earlier
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc; as the domain definition has likely
changed since the snapshot was first created, libvirt is unable to
recreate a <domain> sub-element that matches the original output
representing the domain state at the time the snapshot was first
created. In fact, reverting without a <domain> sub-element is risky
enough that we had to add a FORCE flag for virDomainSnapshotRevert().
In short, we only support omitting domain for qemu because of
backwards-compatibility to snapshots created before 0.9.5 started
capturing <domain>; even though there are other drivers like vbox that
do not output <domain> because they have other reliable ways to
revert.
And based on the confusion caused when omitting <domain> from snapshot
XML, the initial design for checkpoints in later patches will make
<domain> a mandatory element during its REDEFINE.
[Side note: the fact that <domain> can appear in <domainsnapshot> is a
reason we cannot add a new API for a bulk listing or redefine of all
snapshots of a single domain in one XML call (for example, a 1M
<domain> XML * 16 snapshots explodes into 16M in a bulk form, which
gets difficult to send over RPC). Perhaps we could add a flag to
request that the <domain> sub-element be omitted on output, but such
output is no longer suitable for sane REDEFINE input.]
