The iohelper is an internal program that's only supposed to
be called by libvirt, and whatever output it might produce
will ultimately be passed to virReportError() or similar.
Since we do not want strings passed to those functions to
contain newlines, we can simply not output them in the first
place.
This is what happens in pretty much all cases already, but
in a couple instances newlines have managed to slip in.

In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

All of the ones being removed are pulled in by internal.h. The only
exception is sanlock which expects the application to include <stdint.h>
before sanlock's headers, because sanlock prototypes use fixed width
int, but they don't include stdint.h themselves, so we have to leave
that one in place.

By making use of GNU C's cleanup attribute handled by the
VIR_AUTOFREE macro for declaring scalar variables, majority
of the VIR_FREE calls can be dropped, which in turn leads to
getting rid of most of our cleanup sections.

One of the usecases of iohelper is to read from pipe and write
to file with O_DIRECT. As we read from pipe we can have partial
read and then we fail to write this data because output file
is open with O_DIRECT and buffer size is not aligned.

The iohelper currently calls saferead() to get data from the
underlying file. This has a problem with O_DIRECT when hitting
end-of-file. saferead() is asked to read 1MB, but the first
read() it does may return only a few KB, so it'll try another
read() to fill the remaining buffer. Unfortunately the buffer
pointer passed into this 2nd read() is likely not aligned
to the extent that O_DIRECT requires, so rather than seeing
'0' for end-of-file, we'll get -1 + EINVAL due to misaligned
buffer.
The way the iohelper is currently written, it already handles
getting short reads, so there is actually no need to use
saferead() at all. We can simply call read() directly. The
benefit of this is that we can now write() the data immediately
so when we go into the subsequent reads() we'll always have a
correctly aligned buffer.
Technically the file position ought to be aligned for O_DIRECT
too, but this does not appear to matter when at end-of-file.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Some FDs may not implement fdatasync() functionality,
e.g. pipes. In that case EINVAL or EROFS is returned.
We don't want to fail then nor report any error.

Currently, when we are doing (managed) save, we insert the
iohelper between the qemu and OS. The pipe is created, the
writing end is passed to qemu and the reading end to the
iohelper. It reads data and write them into given file. However,
with write() being asynchronous data may still be in OS
caches and hence in some (corner) cases, all migration data
may have been read and written (not physically though). So
qemu will report success, as well as iohelper. However, with
some non local filesystems, where ENOSPACE is polled every X
time units, we may get into situation where all operations
succeeded but data hasn't reached the disk. And in fact will
never do. Therefore we ought sync caches to make sure data
has reached the block device on remote host.

All callers used the same initialization seed (well, the new

make this value automatic. And while it may feel like we are
giving up functionality, I documented how to get it back in the
unlikely case that you actually need to debug with a fixed
pseudo-random sequence. I left that crippled by default, so
that a stray environment variable doesn't cause a lack of
randomness to become a security issue.

Required for a coming patch where iohelper will operate on O_DIRECT
fds. There, the user-space memory must be aligned to file system
boundaries (at least 512, but using page-aligned works better, and
some file systems prefer 64k). Made tougher by the fact that
VIR_ALLOC won't work on void *, but posix_memalign won't work on
char * and isn't available everywhere.
This patch makes some simplifying assumptions - namely, output
to an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on an empty seekable
file (hence, no need to worry about preserving existing data
on a partial block, and ftruncate will work to undo the effects
of having to round up the size of the last block written), and
input from an O_DIRECT fd will only be attempted on a complete
seekable file with the only possible short read at EOF.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for posix_memalign.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO): Use aligned memory, and handle
quirks of O_DIRECT on last write.
Rather than making the iohelper subject to a race in reopening
the file, it is nicer to pass an already-open fd by inheritance.
The old synopsis form must continue to work - if someone updates
their libvirt package and installs a new libvirt_iohelper but
without restarting the old libvirtd daemon, then the daemon can
still make calls using the old syntax but the new iohelper.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO): Split code for open...
(prepare): ...to new function.
(usage): Update synopsis.
(main): Allow alternate calling form.
* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFileInternal): Use alternate form.
Enforce the recent flags cleanups - we want to use 'unsigned int flags'
in any of our APIs (except where backwards compatibility is important,
in the public migration APIs), and that all flags are checked for
validity (except when there are stub functions that completely
ignore the flags argument).
There are a few minor tweaks done here to avoid false positives:
signed arguments passed to open() are renamed oflags, and flags
arguments that are legitimately ignored are renamed flags_unused.
* cfg.mk (sc_flags_usage): New rule.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_flags_usage): And a few exemptions.
(sc_flags_debug): Tweak wording.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO, main): Rename variable.
* src/util/util.c (virSetInherit): Likewise.

This is needed if we want to transfer a temporary file. If the

where we unlink() file before iohelper is executed.
