A secret can be marked with the "private" attribute. The intent was that
it is not possible for any libvirt client to be able to read the secret
value, it would only be accesible from within libvirtd. eg the QEMU
driver can read the value to launch a guest.
With the modular daemons, the QEMU, storage and secret drivers are all
running in separate daemons. The QEMU and storage drivers thus appear to
be normal libvirt client's from the POV of the secret driver, and thus
they are not able to read a private secret. This is unhelpful.
With the previous patches that introduced a "system token" to the
identity object, we can now distinguish APIs invoked by libvirt daemons
from those invoked by client applications.

When fetching the value of a private secret, we need to use an elevated
identity otherwise the secret driver will deny access.
When using the modular daemons, the elevated identity needs to be active
before the secret driver connection is opened, and it will apply to all
APIs calls made on that conncetion.
When using the monolithic daemon, the identity at time of opening the
connection is ignored, and the elevated identity needs to be active
precisely at the time the virSecretGetValue API call is made.
After acquiring the secret value, the elevated identity should be
cleared.
This sounds complex, but is fairly straightfoward with the automatic
cleanup callbacks.

The drivers can all call virGetConnectXXX to open a connection to a
secondary driver. For example, when creating a encrypted storage volume,
the storage driver has to open a secret driver connection, or when
starting a guest, the QEMU driver has to open the network driver to
lookup a virtual network.
When using monolithic libvirtd, the connection has the same effective
identity as the client, since everything is still in the same process.
When using the modular daemons, however, the remote daemon sees the
identity of the calling daemon. This is a mistake as it results in
the modular daemons seeing the client with elevated privileges.
We need to pass on the current identity explicitly when opening the
secondary drivers. This is the same thing that is done by daemon RPC
dispatcher code when it is directly forwarding top level API calls
from virtproxyd and other daemons.

When talking to the secret driver, the callers inside libvirt daemons
need to be able to run with an elevated privileges that prove the API
calls are made by a libvirt daemon, not an end user application.
The virIdentityElevateCurrent method will take the current identity
and, if not already present, add the system token. The old current
identity is returned to the caller. With the VIR_IDENTITY_AUTORESTORE
annotation, the old current identity will be restored upon leaving
the codeblock scope.

When creating the system identity set the system token. The system
token is currently stored in a local path
/var/run/libvirt/common/system.token
Obviously with only traditional UNIX DAC in effect, this is largely
security through obscurity, if the client is running at the same
privilege level as the daemon. It does, however, reliably distinguish
an unprivileged client from the system daemons.
With a MAC system like SELinux though, or possible use of containers,
access can be further restricted.
A possible future improvement for Linux would be to populate the
kernel keyring with a secret for libvirt daemons to share.

We want a way to distinguish between calls from a libvirt daemon, and a
regular client application when both are running as the same user
account. This is not possible with the current set of attributes
recorded against an identity, as there is nothing that is common to all
of the modular libvirt daemons, while distinct to all other processes.
We thus introduce the idea of a system token, which is simply a random
hex string that is only known by the libvirt daemons, to be recorded
against the system identity.

In the distros using RPMs, we build libvirt once as a side effect
of running "ninja dist", and once via rpmbuild.
In addition "ninja dist" will run all tests including the "syntax-check"
suite, despite use having a separate "codestyle" job for for that.
There is no way to pass "--no-suite" when creating the dist, but if we
switch to invoking "meson dist", we can skip the build+test part
entirely using "--no-tests".
When doing this we then run explicit "meson compile" and "meson test"
commands for the distros that don't build the RPMs, and in the latter
case we can now skip the "syntax-check" suite.
The RPM builds already skipped the "syntax-check" suite.

"meson test" will only print a list of which tests fail by default,
so we were sending the full test log to stdout on failure. This makes
it really hard to see the errors though as the test log has all
succcesful tests too.
"ninja test" will print the same as "meson test", following by details
of each failure.
It does this using the "--print-errorlog" flag, so lets use that in

The securityselinuxhelper is a mock that's replacing libselinux
APIs with our own implementation to achieve deterministic
results. Our implementation uses env vars (among other things) to
hold internal state. For instance, "FAKE_SELINUX_CONTEXT" and
"FAKE_SELINUX_DISABLED" variables are used. However, as we were
switching from setenv() to g_setenv() we also changed the set of
possible retvals from setcon_raw() and security_disable().
Previously, the retval of setenv() was used directly which
returns 0 on success and -1 on error. But g_setenv() has
different retval semantics: it returns 1 on success and 0 on
error.
This discrepancy can be observed by running viridentitytest where
case #2 reports an error ("!") - because setcon_raw() returns 1.

On the other hand, looking into glibc and musl the pthread_once()
never returns anything other than zero (uclibc-ng seems to not
implement pthread_once()), therefore we never really hit any
problem. But for code cleanliness (and to match POSIX
