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
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

For the sake of backwards compat, LXC guests are *not*

Recent discussions have illustrated the potential for DOS attacks
with the hash table implementations used by most languages and
libraries.
https://lwn.net/Articles/474912/
libvirt has an internal hash table impl, and uses hash tables for
a variety of purposes. The hash key generation code is pretty
simple and thus not strongly collision resistant.
This patch replaces the current libvirt hash key generator with
the (public domain) Murmurhash3 code. In addition every hash
table now gets a random seed value which is used to perturb the
hashing code. This should make it impossible to mount any
practical attack against libvirt hashing code.
* bootstrap.conf: Import bitrotate module
* src/Makefile.am: Add virhashcode.[ch]
* src/util/util.c: Make virRandom() return a fixed 32 bit
integer value.
* src/util/hash.c, src/util/hash.h, src/util/cgroup.c: Replace
hash code generation with a call to virHashCodeGen()
* src/util/virhashcode.h, src/util/virhashcode.c: Add a new
virHashCodeGen() API using the Murmurhash3 algorithm.
In preparation for the patch to include Murmurhash3, which
introduces a virhashcode.h and virhashcode.c files, rename
the existing hash.h and hash.c to virhash.h and virhash.c
respectively.
The old virRandom() API was not generating good random numbers.
Replace it with a new API virRandomBits which instead of being
told the upper limit, gets told the number of bits of randomness
required.
* src/util/virrandom.c, src/util/virrandom.h: Add virRandomBits,
and move virRandomInitialize

There is now a standard QEMU guest agent that can be installed
and given a virtio serial channel
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
The protocol that runs over the guest agent is JSON based and
very similar to the JSON monitor. We can't use exactly the same
code because there are some odd differences in the way messages
and errors are structured. The qemu_agent.c file is based on
a combination and simplification of qemu_monitor.c and
qemu_monitor_json.c

probes.h can only be generated on Linux, and then only with dtrace
installed. If it is part of the tarball, then either 'make dist'
will fail if you don't have that setup, or we would have to start
keeping probes.h in libvirt.git. Since we only need it to be
generated when dtrace is in use, it's better to avoid shipping
it in the first place, and avoid tracking it in git.
Meanwhile, there is a build dependency - since the RPC code is
generated, it can be built early; but when dtrace is enabled, we
must ensure probes.h is built even earlier. Commit 1afcfbdd tried
to fix this, but did so in a way that added probes.h into the
tarball, and broke VPATH as well. Commit ecbca767 fixed VPATH,
but didn't fix the more fundamental problem. This patch solves
the issue by adding a dependency instead.
Tested with 'make dist' in a clean VPATH builds, for both
'./configure --without-dtrace' and './configure --with-dtrace';
all configurations were able to correctly build a tarball, and
the dtrace configuration no longer sticks probes.h in the tarball.
* src/Makefile.am (REMOTE_DRIVER_GENERATED): Don't ship probes.h;
rather, make it a dependency.
To add support for running libvirt on PowerPC, a CPU driver for the
PowerPC platform must be added.
Most generic cpu driver routines such as CPU compare, decode, etc
are based on CPUID comparison and are not relevant for non-x86
platforms.
Here, we introduce stubs for relevant PowerPC routines invoked by libvirt.

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

Add the core functions that implement the functionality of the API.
Suspend is done by using an asynchronous mechanism so that we can return
the status to the caller before the host gets suspended. This asynchronous
operation is achieved by suspending the host in a separate thread of
execution. However, returning the status to the caller is only best-effort,
but not guaranteed.
To resume the host, an RTC alarm is set up (based on how long we want to
suspend) before suspending the host. When this alarm fires, the host
gets woken up.
Suspend-to-RAM operation on a host running Linux can take upto more than 20
seconds, depending on the load of the system. (Freezing of tasks, an operation
preceding any suspend operation, is given up after a 20 second timeout).
And Suspend-to-Disk can take even more time, considering the time required
for compaction, creating the memory image and writing it to disk etc.
So, we do not allow the user to specify a suspend duration of less than 60
seconds, to be on the safer side, since we don't want to prematurely declare
failure when we only had to wait for some more time.
The keepalive program has two procedures: PING, and PONG.
Both are used only in asynchronous messages and the sender doesn't wait
for any reply. However, the party which receives PING messages is
supposed to react by sending PONG message the other party, but no
explicit binding between PING and PONG messages is made. For backward
compatibility neither server nor client are allowed to send keepalive
messages before checking that remote party supports them.

The libvirtd daemon had a few crude system tap probes. Some of
these were broken during the RPC rewrite. The new modular RPC
code is structured in a way that allows much more effective
tracing. Instead of trying to hook up the original probes,
define a new set of probes for the RPC and event code.
The master probes file is now src/probes.d. This contains
probes for virNetServerClientPtr, virNetClientPtr, virSocketPtr
virNetTLSContextPtr and virNetTLSSessionPtr modules. Also add
probes for the poll event loop.
The src/dtrace2systemtap.pl script can convert the probes.d
file into a libvirt_probes.stp file to make use from systemtap
much simpler.
The src/rpc/gensystemtap.pl script can generate a set of
systemtap functions for translating RPC enum values into
printable strings. This works for all RPC header enums (program,
type, status, procedure) and also the authentication enum
The PROBE macro will automatically generate a VIR_DEBUG
statement, so any place with a PROBE can remove any existing
manual DEBUG statements.

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

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

This patch adds the ability to make the filesystem for a filesystem
pool during a pool build.
The patch adds two new flags, no overwrite and overwrite, to control
when mkfs gets executed. By default, the patch preserves the
current behavior, i.e., if no flags are specified, pool build on a
filesystem pool only makes the directory on which the filesystem
will be mounted.
If the no overwrite flag is specified, the target device is checked
to determine if a filesystem of the type specified in the pool is
present. If a filesystem of that type is already present, mkfs is
not executed and the build call returns an error. Otherwise, mkfs
is executed and any data present on the device is overwritten.
If the overwrite flag is specified, mkfs is always executed, and any
existing data on the target device is overwritten unconditionally.
Domain listing, basic information retrieval and domain life cycle
management is implemented. But currently the domain XML output
lacks the complete devices section.
The driver uses OpenWSMAN to directly communicate with a Hyper-V
server over its WS-Management interface exposed via Microsoft WinRM.
The driver is based on the work of Michael Sievers. This started in
the same master program project group at the University of Paderborn
as the ESX driver.
See Michael's blog for details: http://hyperv4libvirt.wordpress.com/
Add a generator script to generate the structs and serialization
information for OpenWSMAN.
openwsman.h collects workarounds for problems in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6.
There are also disabled sections that would use ws_serializer_free_mem
but can't because it's broken in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6. Patches to fix
this have been posted upstream.
