Also store user & group ID values in virIdentity
This had a typo which caused the group ID to overwrite the
user ID string. This meant any checks using this would have
the wrong ID value. This only affected the ACL code, not the
initial polkit auth. It also leaked memory.

Future improvements to the polkit code will require access to
the numeric user ID, not merely user name.

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.

There are various methods named "virXXXXSecurityContext",
which are specific to SELinux. Rename them all to
"virXXXXSELinuxContext". They will still raise errors at

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Add APIs which allow creation of a virIdentity from the info
associated with a virNetServerClientPtr instance. This is done
based on the results of client authentication processes like
TLS, x509, SASL, SO_PEERCRED

A socket object has various pieces of security data associated
with it, such as the SELinux context, the SASL username and
the x509 distinguished name. Add new APIs to virNetServerClient
and related modules to access this data.

When converting to virObject, the probes on the 'Free' functions
were removed on the basis that there is a probe on virObjectFree
that suffices. This puts a burden on people writing probe scripts
to identify which object is being dispose. This adds back probes
in the 'Dispose' functions and updates the rpc monitor systemtap
example to use them

Currently the server determines whether authentication of clients
is complete, by checking whether an identity is set. This patch
removes that lame hack and replaces it with an explicit method
for changing the client auth code
* daemon/remote.c: Update for new APis
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c,
src/rpc/virnetserverclient.h: Remove virNetServerClientGetIdentity
and virNetServerClientSetIdentity, adding a new method
virNetServerClientSetAuth.

This patch resolves CVE-2013-0170:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893450
When reading and dispatching of a message failed the message was freed
but wasn't removed from the message queue.
After that when the connection was about to be closed the pointer for
the message was still present in the queue and it was passed to
virNetMessageFree which tried to call the callback function from an
uninitialized pointer.
This patch removes the message from the queue before it's freed.
* rpc/virnetserverclient.c: virNetServerClientDispatchRead:
- avoid use after free of RPC messages
The code is not reachable as of commit id: bb85f229. Removed
virKeepAliveStop() and virObjectUnref() because 'ka' cannot be
anything but NULL at the cleanup label.
Currently all classes must directly inherit from virObject.
This allows for arbitrarily deep hierarchy. There's not much
to this aside from chaining up the 'dispose' handlers from
each class & providing APIs to check types.

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.

Add two new APIs virNetServerClientNewPostExecRestart and
virNetServerClientPreExecRestart which allow a virNetServerClientPtr
object to be created from a JSON object and saved to a
JSON object, for the purpose of re-exec'ing a process.
This includes serialization of the connected socket associated
with the client

Currently there is a hook function that is invoked when a
new client connection comes in, which allows an app to
setup private data. This setup will make it difficult to
serialize client state during process re-exec(). Change to
a model where the app registers a callback when creating
the virNetServerPtr instance, which is used to allocate
the client private data immediately during virNetClientPtr
construction.

Currently the virNetServerServicePtr is responsible for
creating the virNetServerClientPtr instance when accepting
a new connection. Change this so that the virNetServerServicePtr
merely gives virNetServerPtr a virNetSocketPtr instance. The
virNetServerPtr can then create the virNetServerClientPtr
as it desires

When a libvirt API is called from the main event loop (which seems to be
common in event-based glib apps), the client IO loop would properly
handle keepalive requests sent by a server but will not actually send
them because the main event loop is blocked with the API. This patch
gets rid of response timer and the thread which is processing keepalive
requests is also responsible for queueing responses for delivery.
Currently, we are allocating buffer for RPC messages statically.
This is not such pain when RPC limits are small. However, if we want
ever to increase those limits, we need to allocate buffer dynamically,
based on RPC message len (= the first 4 bytes). Therefore we will
decrease our mem usage in most cases and still be flexible enough in
corner cases.
To avoid a namespace clash with forthcoming identity APIs,
rename the virNet*GetLocalIdentity() APIs to have the form
virNet*GetUNIXIdentity()
* daemon/remote.c, src/libvirt_private.syms: Update
for renamed APIs
* src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.h,
src/rpc/virnetsocket.c, src/rpc/virnetsocket.h: s/LocalIdentity/UNIXIdentity/
The code calling sendfd/recvfd was mistakenly assuming those
calls would never block. They can in fact return EAGAIN and
this is causing us to drop the client connection when blocking
ocurrs while sending/receiving FDs.
Fixing this is a little hairy on the incoming side, since at
the point where we see the EAGAIN, we already thought we had
finished receiving all data for the packet. So we play a little
trick to reset bufferOffset again and go back into polling for
more data.
* src/rpc/virnetsocket.c, src/rpc/virnetsocket.h: Update
virNetSocketSendFD/RecvFD to return 0 on EAGAIN, or 1
on success
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Move decoding of header & fds
out of virNetClientCallDispatch and into virNetClientIOHandleInput.
Handling blocking when sending/receiving FDs
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.h: Add a 'donefds' field to track
how many FDs we've sent / received

sending/receiving FDs
If daemon is using SASL it reads client data into a cache. This cache is
big (usually 65KB) and can thus contain 2 or more messages. However,
on socket event we can dispatch only one message. So if we read two
messages at once, the second will not be dispatched as the socket event
goes away with filling the cache.
Moreover, when dispatching the cache we need to remember to take care
of client max requests limit.
The RPC server classes are extended to allow FDs to be received
from clients with calls. There is not currently any way for a
procedure to pass FDs back to the client with replies
* daemon/remote.c, src/rpc/gendispatch.pl: Change virNetMessageHeaderPtr
param to virNetMessagePtr in dispatcher impls

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.

Commit 2c85644b0b attempted to
fix a problem with tracking RPC messages from streams by doing
- if (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_REPLY) {
+ if (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_REPLY ||
+ (msg->header.type == VIR_NET_STREAM &&
+ msg->header.status != VIR_NET_CONTINUE)) {
client->nrequests--;
In other words any stream packet, with status NET_OK or NET_ERROR
would cause nrequests to be decremented. This is great if the
packet from from a synchronous virStreamFinish or virStreamAbort
API call, but wildly wrong if from a server initiated abort.
The latter resulted in 'nrequests' being decremented below zero.
This then causes all I/O for that client to be stopped.
Instead of trying to infer whether we need to decrement the
nrequests field, from the message type/status, introduce an
explicit 'bool tracked' field to mark whether the virNetMessagePtr
object is subject to tracking.
Also add a virNetMessageClear function to allow a message
contents to be cleared out, without adversely impacting the
'tracked' field as a naive memset() would do
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h: Add
a 'bool tracked' field and virNetMessageClear() API
* daemon/remote.c, daemon/stream.c, src/rpc/virnetclientprogram.c,
src/rpc/virnetclientstream.c, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c,
src/rpc/virnetserverprogram.c: Switch over to use
virNetMessageClear() and pass in the 'bool tracked' value
when creating messages.
