40fd7073be conf: support abstracted interface info in network XML
The network XML is updated in the following ways:

1) The <forward> element can now contain a list of forward interfaces:

     <forward .... >
       <interface dev='eth10'/>
       <interface dev='eth11'/>
       <interface dev='eth12'/>
       <interface dev='eth13'/>
     </forward>

   The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
   normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
   either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
   both on input, they must match.

2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
   are supported:

     private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
     domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
     interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:

        <interface type='direct'>
          <source mode='${mode}' dev='${dev}>
          ...
        </interface>

     where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
     selected from the list given in <forward>.

     bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
     forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
     'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
     specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
     name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
     libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:

       <interface type='bridge'>
          <source bridge='${bridge-name}'/>
          ...
       </interface>

3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
   selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
   "portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
   network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
   virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
   may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
   building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
   virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
   a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
   network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
   the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
   interface.

4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
   which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
   the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
   specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
   portgroups on the network.

07f4136993 conf: support abstracted interface info in domain interface XML
the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:

1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')

2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.

3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.

The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).

a3d95b550b conf: put virtPortProfile struct / functions in a common location
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will
soon also be used in the network XML. To prepare for that change, this
patch moves the structure definition into util/network.h and the parse
and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).

8665f85523 Quieten build & ensure API build scripts exit with non-zero status
The current API build scripts will continue and exit with a zero
status even if they find problems. This has been the cause of many
build problems, or hidden build errors, in the past. Change the
scripts so they always exit with a non-zero status for any problems
they do not understand. Also turn off all debug output by default
so they respect $(AM_V_GEN)

* docs/Makefile.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) for API/HTML scripts
* docs/apibuild.py, python/generator.py: Exit with non-zero status
  if problems are found. Also be silent, not outputting any debug
  messages.

e5adda7e6b website: Point main page links to libvirt driver pages
The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org
contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of
the underlying virt technologies.  The entry for KVM points to
http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example.  People coming to libvirt.org
for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're
probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies.  This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead.  It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them.  Finally, it adds a line about networking support.

v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages.

eb3143154e Do not drop kernel cmdline for xen pv domains
Kernel cmdline args can be passed to xen pv domains even when a
bootloader is specified.  The current config-to-sxpr mapping
ignores cmdline when bootloader is present.

Since the xend sub-driver is used with many xen toolstack versions,
this patch takes conservative approach of adding an else block to
existing !def->os.bootloader, and only appends sxpr if def->os.cmdline
is non-NULL.

0c97dc4159 xml: create an RNG file for common types and move some definitions there
domain.rng, network.rng, and interface.rng already use a few of the
same types (or in some cases *should* but don't), and an upcoming code
change will have them sharing even more. To prepare for that, this
patch takes those common data type definitions and moves them into
basictypes.rng.

This may break some rule about the need to RNG files to be autonomous
or something, but I saw that storageencryption.rng is used in this
way, so I figured it must not be completely against the law...

indentation as ip itself, implying that they were really elements of

sub-elements of <ip>. I moved it up out of the way.

1ea83207c8 Support leases in guest XML and lock manager
A lock manager may operate in various modes. The direct mode of
operation is to obtain locks based on the resources associated
with devices in the XML. The indirect mode is where the app
creating the domain provides explicit leases for each resource
that needs to be locked. This XML extension allows for listing
resources in the XML

  <devices>
     ...
     <lease>
       <lockspace>somearea</lockspace>
       <key>thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog</key>
       <target path='/some/lease/path' offset='23432'/>
     </lease>
     ...
  </devices>

The 'lockspace' is a unique identifier for the lockspace which
the lease is associated

The 'key' is a unique identifier for the resource associated
with the lease.

The 'target' is the file on disk where the leases are held.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: parsing and
  formatting for leases

c3c30d4de9 build: avoid corrupting / in RHEL 5
I noticed this while building from libvirt.git on RHEL 5.6:

Generating internals/command.html.tmp
mkdir: cannot create directory `/internals': Permission denied

If I had been building as root instead, this pollutes /.

Older autoconf lacks $(builddir), but it is rigorously equal to '.'
in newer autoconf, so we could use '$(MKDIR_P) internals' instead.

However, since internals/command.html is part of the tarball, we
_already_ build it in $(srcdir), not $(builddir) during VPATH
builds, so the mkdir is wasted effort!

This adds a streaming-video=filter|all|off attribute. It is used to change

65043d2dff Introduce yet another migration version in API.
Migration just seems to go from bad to worse. We already had to
introduce a second migration protocol when adding the QEMU driver,
since the one from Xen was insufficiently flexible to cope with
passing the data the QEMU driver required.

It turns out that this protocol still has some flaws that we
need to address. The current sequence is

 *  Src: DumpXML
          - Generate XML to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Prepare
          - Get ready to accept incoming VM
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Perform
          - Start migration and wait for send completion
          - Kill off VM if successful, resume if failed

 *  Dst: Finish
          - Wait for recv completion and check status
          - Kill off VM if unsuccessful

The problems with this are:

 - Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
   add in other migration specific data. eg, we can't include
   any VM lease data from lock manager plugins
 - Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
   emit any 'migration begin' event on the source, or have
   any hook that runs right at the start of the process
 - Since there is no final step on the source, if the Finish
   method fails to receive all migration data & has to kill
   the VM, then there's no way to resume the original VM
   on the source

This patch attempts to introduce a version 3 that uses the
improved 5 step sequence

 *  Src: Begin
          - Generate XML to pass to dst
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Prepare
          - Get ready to accept incoming VM
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Perform
          - Start migration and wait for send completion
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Finish
          - Wait for recv completion and check status
          - Kill off VM if failed, resume if success
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Confirm
          - Kill off VM if success, resume if failed

The API is designed to allow both input and output cookies
in all methods where applicable. This lets us pass around
arbitrary extra driver specific data between src & dst during
migration. Combined with the extra 'Begin' method this lets
us pass lease information from source to dst at the start of
migration

Moving the killing of the source VM out of Perform and
into Confirm, means we can now recover if the dst host
can't successfully Finish receiving migration data.

reproduction of the default network config that's automatically
installed, which doesn't include any IPv6 address (for good reason -
because there is no such thing as IPv6 NAT, there is no one IPv6
address that would work for all installations).

4591df766d Remove the Open Nebula driver
The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.

Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.

The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.

Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

50d8ad828d Update on the goal page
Some things to note in this patch:
   - we do extend libvirt scope beyond purely managing domains, there is
     already a number of blocks which are here as helpr functions to
     manage the resources on the host.
   - we are expanding in the direction of libvirt being sufficient to do
     most of the management on the Host (but within the limits of the need
     for virtualization, e.g. managing users on the host is out of scope)
   - we don't require anymore APIs to be supported by multiple
     hypervisors to get in, it's already the case in practice, but we
     should still make sure the semantic of those APIs are clear. We
     added quite a bit for QEmu, but for example I saw on IRC that VBox
     could emulate a network unplug/replug on a domain interface, and
     that would be a good addition even if a priori no other hypervisor
     supports it.
   - Make clear that all libvirt APIs are available remotely, which is
     key to use libvirt for building management tools.
   - link the goal page from the project main page

As for libvirt project directions, I think it just reflects the natural
evolution in the last couple of years. We are less hypervisor agnostic
and extending in the Host management. Clearly there is interest in
making sure libvirt is complete in term of features for the hypervisors
supported, especially the ones like KVM or LXC which don't really have
integrated management library.

4e3117ae50 Make LXC container startup/shutdown/I/O more robust
The current LXC I/O controller looks for HUP to detect
when a guest has quit. This isn't reliable as during
initial bootup it is possible that 'init' will close
the console and let mingetty re-open it. The shutdown
of containers was also flakey because it only killed
the libvirt I/O controller and expected container
processes to gracefully follow.

Change the I/O controller such that when it see HUP
or an I/O error, it uses kill($PID, 0) to see if the
process has really quit.

Change the container shutdown sequence to use the
virCgroupKillPainfully function to ensure every
really goes away

This change makes the use of the 'cpu', 'devices'
and 'memory' cgroups controllers compulsory with
LXC

  controllers are now mandatory

a757e60a07 domain.rng vs. formatdomain.html#elementsUSB
The Relax-NG schema for domains regarding <hostdev> doesn't match what's
implemented in src/conf/domain_conf.c#virDomainHostdevDefFormat(): The
implementation only requires @type, but the schema currently either
required none or all three attributes (@mode, @type, and @managed) to be
defined together, because they are declared in the same
<optional)-section. (@managed is currently even undocumented on
<http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsUSB>).

Thus the following minimal <hostdev>-example fails to validate:
<domain type='test'>
        <name>N</name>
        <memory>4096</memory>
        <bootloader>/bin/false</bootloader>
        <os>
                <type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type>
        </os>
        <devices>
                <hostdev type='pci'>
                        <source>
                                <address bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
                        </source>
                </hostdev>
        </devices>
</domain>

The schema is changed to match the current implementation:
1. @mode is optional (which defaults to 'subsystem')
2. @type is required
3. @managed is optional (which defaults to 'no')

The documentation is updated to mention @managed.
