Libvirt provides QMP passthrough APIs for the QEMU driver and these are
exposed in virsh. It is not especially pleasant, however, using the raw
QMP JSON syntax. QEMU has a tool 'qmp-shell' which can speak QMP and
exposes a human friendly interactive shell. It is not possible to use
this with libvirt managed guest, however, since only one client can
attach to the QMP socket at any point in time. While it would be
possible to configure a second QMP socket for a VM, it may not be
an known requirement at the time the guest is provisioned.
The virt-qmp-proxy tool aims to solve this problem. It opens a UNIX
socket and listens for incoming client connections, speaking QMP on
the connected socket. It will forward any QMP commands received onto
the running libvirt QEMU guest, and forward any replies back to the
QMP client. It will also forward back events.
$ virsh start demo
$ virt-qmp-proxy demo demo.qmp &
$ qmp-shell demo.qmp
Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
Connected to QEMU 6.2.0
(QEMU) query-kvm
{
"return": {
"enabled": true,
"present": true
}
}
Note this tool of course has the same risks as the raw libvirt
QMP passthrough. It is safe to run query commands to fetch information
but commands which change the QEMU state risk disrupting libvirt's
management of QEMU, potentially resulting in data loss/corruption in
the worst case. Any use of this tool will cause the guest to be marked
as tainted as an warning that it could be in an unexpected state.
Since this tool introduces a python dependency it is not desirable
to include it in any of the existing RPMs in libvirt. This tool is
also QEMU specific, so isn't appropriate to bundle with the generic
tools. Thus a new RPM is introduced 'libvirt-clients-qemu', to
contain additional QEMU specific tools, with extra external deps.

There are some tools that convert hostname to lowercase before
resolving it (e.g. ssh). In a way it makes sense because DNS is
case insensitive and in case of ssh the lowercase version is then
used to find matching record in its config file. However, our NSS
module performs case sensitive comparison, which makes it useless
with ssh. Just consider a machine named FooBar.
Therefore, switch to case insensitive string comparison.

To make this manageable, record the gnulib commit our copy is

Commit 8beb7fdd0e changed the handling of POTFILES so that it
could cope with files being located in either the source or build
directory: it did so by adding @SRCDIR@ and @BUILDDIR@
respectively at the beginning of each line, and then converting
them back to the actual values when generating POTFILES from
POTFILES.in.
Later, commit c6a0d3ff8b started passing --directory to
xgettext, which resulted in the tool being able to locate files
regardless of whether they are in the source or build directory.
However, @SRCDIR@ and @BUILDDIR@ were still added to POTFILES.in
only to be stripped when generating POTFILES.
Simplify things by not storing information that we know we're
going to discard later.

trigger a warning:

Our code is inherantly racy, calling g_source_destroy which
removes the FD from the event thread poll asynchronously but
we close the FD immediately after g_source_destroy returns.
With poll() this results in POLLNVAL which we're ignoring, but
with select() it generates the BADF error on macOS.
We need to ignore the warnings on macOS to avoid abort()ing

Instead of creating an empty object and then setting keys one
at a time, it is possible to pass a dict object to
configuration_data(). This is nicer because it doesn't require
repeating the name of the cfg_data object over and over.
There is one exception: the 'conf' object, where we store values
that are used directly by C code. In that case, using a dict
object is not feasible for two reasons: first of all, replacing
the set_quoted() calls would result in awkward code with a lot
of calls to format(); moreover, since code that modifies it is
sprinkled all over the place, refactoring it would probably
make things more complicated rather than simpler.

An update to meson 0.61.1 meant that it started showing warnings due to the fact
that the default for run_command's 'check' parameter is going to change. It
unveiled the fact that we were even missing that parameter in some calls where
we expected different outcome. To make sure the behaviour does not change
specify the parameter explicitly. In places where we check for the return code
the parameter should be 'false' so that meson does not fail. In all other cases
the parameter should be set to 'true' to make sure possible failure also stops
meson.
