The macro was made to help installing broken packages that did not use
DESTDIR correctly by overriding individual path variables (prefix,
sysconfdir, ...). Newer rpm provides fixed make_install macro that calls
make install with just the correct DESTDIR, however it is not available
everywhere (e.g., RHEL 5 does not have it). On the other hand the
make_install macro is simple and straightforward enough for us to use
its expansion directly.

Commit d04916fa introduced a regression in audit quality - even
though the code was computing the proper escaped name for a
path, it wasn't feeding that escaped name on to the audit message.
As a result, /var/log/audit/audit.log would mention a pair of
fields class=path path=/dev/hpet instead of the intended
class=path path="/dev/hpet", which in turn caused ausearch to
format the audit log with path=(null).

Normally libvirtd should run with a SELinux label
system_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
If a user manually runs libvirtd though, it is sometimes
possible to get into a situation where it is running
system_u:system_r:init_t:s0
The SELinux security driver isn't expecting this and can't
parse the security label since it lacks the ':c0.c1023' part
causing it to complain
internal error Cannot parse sensitivity level in s0
This updates the parser to cope with this, so if no category
is present, libvirtd will hardcode the equivalent of c0.c1023.
Now this won't work if SELinux is in Enforcing mode, but that's
not an issue, because the user can only get into this problem
if in Permissive mode. This means they can now start VMs in
Permissive mode without hitting that parsing error

The symptom was that attempts to modify a network device using
virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() would fail if the original device had a
<boot> element (e.g. "<boot order='1'/>"), even if the updated device
had the same <boot> element. Instead, the following error would be logged:
cannot modify network device boot index setting
It's true that it's not possible to change boot order (internally
known as bootIndex) of a live device; qemuDomainChangeNet checks for
that, but the problem was that the information it was checking was
incorrect.
Explanation:
When a complete domain is parsed, a global (to the domain) "bootMap"
is passed down to the parse for each device; the bootMap is used to
make sure that devices don't have conflicting settings for their boot
orders.
When a single device is parsed by itself (as in the case of
virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags), there is no global bootMap that would be
appropriate to send, so NULL is sent instead. However, although the
lowest level function that parses just the boot order *does* simply
skip the sanity check in that case, the next higher level
"virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML" function refuses to call down to the
lower "virDomainDeviceBootParseXML" if bootMap is NULL. So, the boot
order is never set in the "new" device object, and when it is compared
to the original (which does have a boot order), they don't match.
The fix is to patch virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML to not care about
bootMap, and just always call virDomainDeviceInfoBootParseXML whenever
there is a <boot> element. When we are only parsing a single device,
we don't care whether or not any specified boot order is consistent
with the rest of the domain; we will always do this check later (in
the current case, we do it by verifying that the net bootIndex exactly
matches the old bootIndex).
The current SELinux policy only works for KVM guests, since
TCG requires the 'execmem' privilege. There is a 'virt_use_execmem'
boolean to turn this on globally, but that is unpleasant for users.
This changes libvirt to automatically use a new 'svirt_tcg_t'
context for TCG based guests. This obsoletes the previous
boolean tunable and makes things 'just work(tm)'
Since we can't assume we run with new enough policy, I also
make us log a warning message (once only) if we find the policy
lacks support. In this case we fallback to the normal label and
expect users to set the boolean tunable

The virSecurityManager{Set,Restore}AllLabel methods are invoked
at domain startup/shutdown to relabel resources associated with
a domain. This works fine with QEMU, but with LXC they are in
fact both currently no-ops since LXC does not support disks,
hostdevs, or kernel/initrd files. Worse, when LXC gains support
for disks/hostdevs, they will do the wrong thing, since they
run in host context, not container context. Thus this patch

Currently, if there's no hard memory limit defined for a domain,
libvirt tries to calculate one, based on domain definition and magic
equation and set it upon the domain startup. The rationale behind was,
if there's a memory leak or exploit in qemu, we should prevent the
host system trashing. However, the equation was too tightening, as it
didn't reflect what the kernel counts into the memory used by a
process. Since many hosts do have a swap, nobody hasn't noticed
anything, because if hard memory limit is reached, process can
continue allocating memory on a swap. However, if there is no swap on
the host, the process gets killed by OOM killer. In our case, the qemu
process it is.
To prevent this, we need to relax the hard RSS limit. Moreover, we
should reflect more precisely the kernel way of accounting the memory
for process. That is, even the kernel caches are counted within the
memory used by a process (within cgroups at least). Hence the magic
equation has to be changed:
limit = 1.5 * (domain memory + total video memory) + (32MB for cache
per each disk) + 200MB

This is an adjustment to the fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889319
to account for two bonehead mistakes I made.
commit ac2797cf2a attempted to fix a
problem with netlink in newer kernels requiring an extra attribute
with a filter flag set in order to receive an IFLA_VFINFO_LIST from
netlink. Unfortunately, the #ifdef that protected against compiling it
in on systems without the new flag went a bit too far, assuring that
the new code would *never* be compiled, and even if it had, the code
was incorrect.
The first problem was that, while some IFLA_* enum values are also
their existence at compile time, IFLA_EXT_MASK *isn't* #defined, so
checking to see if it's #defined is not a valid method of determining
whether or not to add the attribute. Fortunately, the flag that is
being set (RTEXT_FILTER_VF) *is* #defined, and it is never present if
IFLA_EXT_MASK isn't, so it's sufficient to just check for that flag.
And to top it off, due to the code not actually compiling when I
thought it did, I didn't realize that I'd been given the wrong arglist
to nla_put() - you can't just send a const value to nla_put, you have
to send it a pointer to memory containing what you want to add to the
message, along with the length of that memory.
This time I've actually sent the patch over to the other machine
that's experiencing the problem, applied it to the branch being used
(0.10.2) and verified that it works properly, i.e. it does fix the
problem it's supposed to fix. :-/

This patch fixes the lack of error messages when libvirt fails to find
VFINFO in a returned netlinke response message.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827519#c10 is an example
of the error message that was previously logged when the
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST object was missing from the netlink response. The
reason for this failure is detailed in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889319
Even though that root problem has been fixed, the experience of
finding the root cause shows us how important it is to properly log an
error message in these cases. This patch *seems* to replace the entire
function, but really most of the changes are due to moving code that
was previously inside an if() statement out to the top level of the
function (the original if() was reversed and made to log an error and
return).

This patch resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889319
When assigning an SRIOV virtual function to a guest using "intelligent
PCI passthrough" (<interface type='hostdev'>, which sets the MAC
address and vlan tag of the VF before passing its info to qemu),
libvirt first learns the current MAC address and vlan tag by sending
an NLM_F_REQUEST message for the VF's PF (physical function) to the
kernel via a NETLINK_ROUTE socket (see virNetDevLinkDump()); the
response message's IFLA_VFINFO_LIST section is examined to extract the
info for the particular VF being assigned.
This worked fine with kernels up until kernel commit
115c9b81928360d769a76c632bae62d15206a94a (first appearing in upstream
kernel 3.3) which changed the ABI to not return IFLA_VFINFO_LIST in
the response until a newly introduced IFLA_EXT_MASK field was included
in the request, with the (newly introduced, of course) RTEXT_FILTER_VF
flag set.
The justification for this ABI change was that new fields had been
added to the VFINFO, causing NLM_F_REQUEST messages to fail on systems
with large numbers of VFs if the requesting application didn't have a
large enough buffer for all the info. The idea is that most
applications doing an NLM_F_REQUEST don't care about VFINFO anyway, so
eliminating it from the response would lower the requirements on
buffer size. Apparently, the people who pushed this patch made the
mistaken assumption that iproute2 (the "ip" command) was the only
package that used IFLA_VFINFO_LIST, so it wouldn't break anything else
(and they made sure that iproute2 was fixed.
The logic of this "fix" is debatable at best (one could claim that the
proper fix would be for the applications in question to be fixed so
that they properly sized the buffer, which is what libvirt does
(purely by virtue of using libnl), but it is what it is and we have to
deal with it.
In order for <interface type='hostdev'> to work properly on systems
with a kernel 3.3 or later, libvirt needs to add the afore-mentioned
IFLA_EXT_MASK field with RTEXT_FILTER_VF set.
Of course we also need to continue working on systems with older
kernels, so that one bit of code is compiled conditionally. The one
time this could cause problems is if the libvirt binary was built on a
system without IFLA_EXT_MASK which was subsequently updated to a
kernel that *did* have it. That could be solved by manually providing
the values of IFLA_EXT_MASK and RTEXT_FILTER_VF and adding it to the
message anyway, but I'm uncertain what that might actually do on a
system that didn't support the message, so for the time being we'll
just fail in that case (which will very likely never happen anyway).

This patch resolves the problem reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886663
The source of the problem was the fix for CVE 2011-3411:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833033
which was originally committed upstream in commit
753ff83a50. That commit improperly
removed the "--except-interface lo" from dnsmasq commandlines when
--bind-dynamic was used (based on comments in the latter bug).
It turns out that the problem reported in the CVE could be eliminated
without removing "--except-interface lo", and removing it actually
caused each instance of dnsmasq to listen on localhost on port 53,
which created a new problem:
If another instance of dnsmasq using "bind-interfaces" (instead of
"bind-dynamic") had already been started (or if another instance
started later used "bind-dynamic"), this wouldn't have any immediately
visible ill effects, but if you tried to start another dnsmasq
instance using "bind-interfaces" *after* starting any libvirt
networks, the new dnsmasq would fail to start, because there was
already another process listening on port 53.
This patch changes the network driver to *always* add
"except-interface=lo" to dnsmasq conf files, regardless of whether we use
bind-dynamic or bind-interfaces. This way no libvirt dnsmasq instances
are listening on localhost (and the CVE is still fixed).
The actual code change is miniscule, but must be propogated through all
of the test files as well.
(This is *not* a cherry-pick of the upstream commit that fixes the bug
(commit d66eb78667), because subsequent
to the CVE fix, another patch changed the network driver to put
dnsmasq options in a conf file rather than directly on the dnsmasq
commandline preserving the same options), so a cherry-pick is just one
very large conflict.)
If debugging is enabled, the debug messages are sent to stderr.
Moreover, if a command has catching of stderr set, the messages
gets mixed with stdout output (assuming both outputs are stored
in the same variable). The resulting string then doesn't
necessarily have to start with desired prefix then. This bug
exposes itself when parsing dnsmasq output:
2012-12-06 11:18:11.445+0000: 18491: error :
dnsmasqCapsSetFromBuffer:664 : internal error cannot parse
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq version number in '2012-12-06
11:11:02.232+0000: 18492: debug : virFileClose:72 : Closed fd 22'
We can clearly see that the output of dnsmasq --version doesn't
start with expected "Dnsmasq version " string but a libvirt debug
output.
(cherry picked from commit ff33f80773)
If the debugging is enabled, the virCommand subsystem catches debug
messages in the command output as well. In that case, we can't assume
the string corresponding to command's stdout will start with specific
prefix. But the prefix can be moved deeper in the string. This bug
shows itself when parsing dnsmasq output:
2012-12-06 11:18:11.445+0000: 18491: error :
dnsmasqCapsSetFromBuffer:664 : internal error cannot parse
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq version number in '2012-12-06 11:11:02.232+0000:
18492: debug : virFileClose:72 : Closed fd 22'
We can clearly see that the output of dnsmasq --version
doesn't start with expected "Dnsmasq version " string but a libvirt
debug output.

It's odd to fall through to buildVol, and the existed file is
removed when buildVol fails. This checks if the volume target
path already exists in createVol. The reason for not using
error like "Volume already exists" is that there isn't volume
maintained by libvirt for the path until a operation like
pool-refresh, using error like that will just cause confusion.
