49ea62e51d qemu: fix broken handling of shallow flag in qemuDomainBlockCopyCommon
Commit 16ca234b56 refactored how the 'shallow' and 'reuse' flags
are accessed but neglected to fix the clearing of 'shallow' in case when
the disk has no backing chain. This means that we'd request a shallow
copy even without backing chain and also a few checks would work wrong.

Fix it by using the extracted variable everywhere.

ba6c12df2c qemu: Allow skipping some errors in qemuDomainStorageOpenStat
Some callers of this function actually don't care about errors and reset
it. The message is still logged which might irritate users in this case.

Add a boolean flag which will do few checks whether it actually makes
sense to even try opening the storage file. For local files we check
whether it exists and for remote files we at first see whether we even
have a storage driver backend for it in the first place before trying to
open it.

Other problems will still report errors but these are the most common
scenarios which can happen here.

This patch changes the return value of the function so that the caller
is able to differentiate the possibilities.

3b7c5ab983 remote_daemon_dispatch.c: typecast ARRAY_CARDINALITY() in remoteDispatchProbeURI()
Since users can enable/disable drivers at compile time, it may
happen that @drivers array is in fact empty (in both its
occurrences within the function). This means that
ARRAY_CARDINALITY() returns 0UL which makes gcc unhappy because
of loop condition:

  i < ARRAY_CARDINALITY(drivers)

GCC complains that @i is unsigned and comparing an unsigned value
against 0 is always false. However, changing the type of @i to
ssize_t is not enough, because compiler still sees the unsigned
zero. The solution is to typecast the ARRAY_CARDINALITY().

459f071cac virpcimock: Mock __open_2()
Hold on to your hat, this is going to be a wild ride. As nearly
nothing in glibc, nor open() is a real function. Just look into
bits/fcntl2.h and you'll see that open() is actually a thin
wrapper that calls either __open_alias() or __open_2(). Now,
before 801ebb5edb the open() done in
virPCIDeviceConfigOpenInternal() had a constant oflags (we were
opening the pci config with O_RDWR). And since we were not
passing any mode nor O_CREAT the wrapper decided to call
__open_alias() which was open() provided by our mock. So far so
good. But after the referenced commit, the oflags is no longer
compile time constant and therefore the wrapper calls __open_2()
which we don't mock and thus the real __open_2() from glibc was
called and thus we did try to open real path from host's /sys.
This of course fails with variety of errors.

a60ee91400 util: allow tap-based guest interfaces to have MAC address prefix 0xFE
Back in July 2010, commit 6ea90b84 (meant to resolve
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/571991 ) added code to set the MAC address
of any tap device to the associated guest interface's MAC, but with
the first byte replaced with 0xFE. This was done in order to assure
that

1) the tap MAC and guest interface MAC were different (otherwise L2
   forwarding through the tap would not work, and the kernel would
   repeatedly issue a warning stating as much).

2) any bridge device that had one of these taps attached would *not*
   take on the MAC of the tap (leading to network instability as
   guests started and stopped)

A couple years later, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/798467 was filed,
complaining that a user could configure a tap-based guest interface to
have a MAC address that itself had a first byte of 0xFE, silently
(other than the kernel warning messages) resulting in a non-working
configuration. This was fixed by commit 5d571045, which logged an
error and failed the guest start / interface attach if the MAC's first
byte was 0xFE.

Although this restriction only reduces the potential pool of MAC
addresses from 2^46 (last two bits of byte 1 must be set to 10) by
2^32 (still 4 orders of magnitude larger than the entire IPv4 address
space), it also means that management software that autogenerates MAC
addresses must have special code to avoid an 0xFE prefix. Now after 7
years, someone has noticed this restriction and requested that we
remove it.

So instead of failing when 0xFE is found as the first byte, this patch
removes the restriction by just replacing the first byte in the tap
device MAC with 0xFA if the first byte in the guest interface is
0xFE. 0xFA is the next-highest value that still has 10 as the lowest
two bits, and still

2) meets the requirement of "tap MAC must be different from guest
   interface MAC", and

3) is high enough that there should never be an issue of the attached
   bridge device taking on the MAC of the tap.

The result is that *any* MAC can be chosen by management software
(although it would still not work correctly if a multicast MAC (lowest
bit of first byte set to 1) was chosen), but that's a different
issue).

b18c273a24 remote: enable connecting to the per-driver daemons
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.

746955690a remote: refactor the code for choosing the UNIX socket path
The ssh, libssh, libssh2 & unix transports all need to use a UNIX socket
path, and duplicate some of the same logic for error checking. Pull this
out into a separate method to increase code sharing.
