8f86eaca49 virt-aa-helper-test: Fix failure due to the new disk format probing option
Commit 68719c4bdd added the disk format
probing option. This makes virt-aa-helper-test fail because the domain
config didn't specifiy the disk format and it didn't pass '-p 1' to
virt-aa-helper to allow disk format probing.

Specify the disk format in the domain config. Pass the '-p 1' option
to virt-aa-helper for the test case with two disks. This way this test
also covers this new option.

adde0e2cf6 virt-aa-helper: Fix return value of add_file_path
Commit a885334499 added this
function and wrapped vah_add_file in it. vah_add_file may
return -1, 0, 1. It returns 1 in case the call to valid_path
detects a restricted file. The original code treated a return
value != 0 as error. The refactored code treats a return
value < 0 as error. This triggers segfault in virt-aa-helper
and breaks virt-aa-helper-test for the restricted file tests.

Make sure that add_file_path returns -1 on error.

337d201ef2 Qemu remote protocol.
Since we are adding a new "per-hypervisor" protocol, we
make it so that the qemu remote protocol uses a new
PROTOCOL and PROGRAM number.  This allows us to easily
distinguish it from the normal REMOTE protocol.

This necessitates changing the proc in remote_message_header
from a "remote_procedure" to an "unsigned", which should
be the same size (and thus preserve the on-wire protocol).

Changes since v1:
 - Fixed up a couple of script problems in remote_generate_stubs.pl
 - Switch an int flag to a bool in dispatch.c

Changes since v2:
 - None

Changes since v3:
 - Change unsigned proc to signed proc, to conform to spec

057e855324 Qemu arbitrary monitor commands.
Implement the qemu driver's virDomainQemuMonitorCommand
and hook it into the API entry point.

Changes since v1:
 - Rename the (external) qemuMonitorCommand to qemuDomainMonitorCommand
 - Add virCheckFlags to qemuDomainMonitorCommand

Changes since v2:
 - Drop ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED from the flags

Changes since v3:
 - Add a flag to priv so we only print out monitor command warning once.  Note
   that this has not been plumbed into qemuDomainObjPrivateXMLFormat or
   qemuDomainObjPrivateXMLParse, which means that if you run a monitor command,
   restart libvirtd, and then run another monitor command, you may get an
   an erroneous VIR_INFO.  It's a pretty minor matter, and I didn't think it
   warranted the additional code.
 - Add BeginJob/EndJob calls around EnterMonitor/ExitMonitor

21adf03c2d Qemu Monitor API entry point.
Add the library entry point for the new virDomainQemuMonitorCommand()
entry point.  Because this is not part of the "normal" libvirt API,
it gets its own header file, library file, and will eventually
get its own over-the-wire protocol later in the series.

Changes since v1:
 - Go back to using the virDriver table for qemuDomainMonitorCommand, due to
   linking issues
 - Added versioning information to the libvirt-qemu.so

Changes since v2:
 - None

Changes since v3:
 - Add LGPL header to libvirt-qemu.c
 - Make virLibConnError and virLibDomainError macros instead of function calls

Changes since v4:
 - Move exported symbols to libvirt_qemu.syms

eac63161cc Fix SEGV on exit after domainEventDeregister()
When the last callback is removed using domainEventDeregister(), the
events dispatcher is deregistered from the C-library, but
domainEventsCallbacks is still an empty list.
On shutdown __del__() deregisters the dispatacher again, which SEGVs

	# You need the event-loop implementation from the Python examples;
	# give the file a name which is importable by Python.
	ln examples/domain-events/events-python/event-test.py eloop.py
	python -c 'from eloop import *
	import sys

	def dump(*args): print " ".join(map(str, args))

	virEventLoopPureStart()
	c = libvirt.open("xen:///")
	c.domainEventRegister(dump, None)
	c.domainEventDeregister(dump)
	sys.exit(0)'

domainEventDeregister() needs to delete domainEventCallbacks so subsequent
calls to __del__() and domainEventRegister() choose the right code paths.
Setting it to None is not enough, since calling domainEventRegiser() again
would trigger an TypeError.

f4828ca353 pciSharesBusWithActive fails to find multiple devices on bus
The first conditional is always true which means the iterator will
never find another device on the same bus.

    if (dev->domain != check->domain ||
        dev->bus != check->bus ||
  ----> (check->slot == check->slot &&
         check->function == check->function)) <-----

The goal of that check is to verify that the device is either:

  in a different pci domain
  on a different bus
  is the same identical device

This means libvirt may issue a secondary bus reset when there are
devices
on that bus that actively in use by the host or another guest.

6ea90b843e Set a stable & high MAC addr for guest TAP devices on host
A Linux software bridge will assume the MAC address of the enslaved
interface with the numerically lowest MAC addr. When the bridge
changes MAC address there is a period of network blackout, so a
change should be avoided. The kernel gives TAP devices a completely
random MAC address. Occassionally the random TAP device MAC is lower
than that of the physical interface (eth0, eth1etc) that is enslaved,
causing the bridge to change its MAC.

This change sets an explicit MAC address for all TAP devices created
using the configured MAC from the XML, but with the high byte set
to 0xFE. This should ensure TAP device MACs are higher than any
physical interface MAC.

ae3d31bf4f Remove erroneous setting of return value to errno.
One error exit in virStorageBackendCreateBlockFrom was setting the
return value to errno. The convention for volume build functions is to
return 0 on success or -1 on failure. Not only was it not necessary to
set the return value (it defaults to -1, and is set to 0 when
everything has been successfully completed), in the case that some
caller were checking for < 0 rather than != 0, they would incorrectly
believe that it completed successfully.

3e0f05fc4c Change virDirCreate to return -errno on failure.

ace1a2bac4 Make virStorageBackendCopyToFD return -errno.
Previously virStorageBackendCopyToFD would simply return -1 on
error. This made the error return from one of its callers inconsistent
(createRawFileOpHook is supposed to return -errno, but if
virStorageBackendCopyToFD failed, createRawFileOpHook would just
return -1). Since there is a useful errno in every case of error
return from virStorageBackendCopyToFD, and since the other uses of
that function ignore the return code (beyond simply checking to see if
it is < 0), this is a safe change.

2ad04f7853 Change virFileOperation to return -errno (ie < 0) on error.
virFileOperation previously returned 0 on success, or the value of
errno on failure. Although there are other functions in libvirt that
use this convention, the preferred (and more common) convention is to
return 0 on success and -errno (or simply -1 in some cases) on
failure. This way the check for failure is always (ret < 0).

                    return -errno on failure.

ccd2c82ee4 Rearrange VGA/IDE controller address reservation
The first VGA and IDE devices need to have fixed PCI address
reservations. Currently this is handled inline with the other
non-primary VGA/IDE devices. The fixed virtio balloon device
at slot 3, ensures auto-assignment skips the slots 1/2. The
virtio address will shortly become configurable though. This
means the reservation of fixed slots needs to be done upfront
to ensure that they don't get re-used for other devices.

This is more or less reverting the previous changeset:

The difference is that this time, instead of unconditionally
reserving the address, we only reserve the address if it was

earlier in process by qemuDomainPCIAddressSetCreate(). This
ensures restore step doesn't have problems

f0c8e1cb37 Fix a deadlock in bi-directional p2p concurrent migration.
If you try to execute two concurrent migrations p2p
from A->B and B->A, the two libvirtd's will deadlock
trying to perform the migrations.  The reason for this is
that in p2p migration, the libvirtd's are responsible for
making the RPC Prepare, Migrate, and Finish calls.  However,
they are currently holding the driver lock while doing so,
which basically guarantees deadlock in this scenario.

This patch fixes the situation by adding
qemuDomainObjEnterRemoteWithDriver and
qemuDomainObjExitRemoteWithDriver helper methods.  The Enter
take an additional object reference, then drops both the
domain object lock and the driver lock.  The Exit takes
both the driver and domain object lock, then drops the
reference.  Adding calls to these Enter and Exit helpers
around remote calls in the various migration methods
seems to fix the problem for me in testing.

This should make the situation safe. The additional domain
object reference ensures that the domain object won't disappear
while this operation is happening.  The BeginJob that is called
inside of qemudDomainMigratePerform ensures that we can't execute a
second migrate (or shutdown, or save, etc) job while the
migration is active.  Finally, the additional check on the state
of the vm after we reacquire the locks ensures that we can't
be surprised by an external event (domain crash, etc).

963a5b7a08 Make virsh setmaxmem balloon only when successful.
After playing around with virsh setmaxmem for a bit,
I ran into some surprising behavior; if a hypervisor does
not support the virDomainSetMaxMemory() API, but the value
specified for setmaxmem is less than the current amount
of memory in the domain, the domain would be ballooned
down *before* an error was reported.

To make this more consistent, run virDomainSetMaxMemory()
before trying to shrink; that way, if an error is thrown,
no changes to the running domain are made.

e0f26c46ae fsync new storage volumes even if new volume was copied.
Originally the storage volume files were opened with O_DSYNC to make
sure they were flushed to disk immediately. It turned out that this
was extremely slow in some cases, so the O_DSYNC was removed in favor
of just calling fsync() after all the data had been written. However,
this call to fsync was inside the block that is executed to zero-fill
the end of the volume file. In cases where the new volume is copied
from an old volume, and they are the same length, this fsync would
never take place.

Now the fsync is *always* done, unless there is an error (in which
case it isn't important, and is most likely inappropriate.

backend was only doing this if it found a 'kvm-img' binary. This
is wrong because plenty of kvm-img binaries don't support an
explicit format, and plenty of 'qemu-img' binaries do support
a format. The result was that most qcow2 files were not getting
a backing store format.

argument formats

bf80fc68ca Require format to be passed into virStorageFileGetMetadata
Require the disk image to be passed into virStorageFileGetMetadata.
If this is set to VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO, then the format will be
resolved using probing. This makes it easier to control when
probing will be used

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c,
  src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/virt-aa-helper.c:
  Set VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO when calling virStorageFileGetMetadata.
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: Probe for disk format before
  calling virStorageFileGetMetadata.
* src/util/storage_file.h, src/util/storage_file.c: Remove format
  from virStorageFileMeta struct & require it to be passed into
  method.

c70cb0f49b Refactor virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD to separate functionality
The virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD did two jobs in one. First
it probed for storage type, then it extracted metadata for the
type. It is desirable to be able to separate these jobs, allowing
probing without querying metadata, and querying metadata without
probing.

To prepare for this, split out probing code into a new pair of
methods

  virStorageFileProbeFormatFromFD
  virStorageFileProbeFormat

* src/util/storage_file.c, src/util/storage_file.h,
  src/libvirt_private.syms: Introduce virStorageFileProbeFormat
  and virStorageFileProbeFormatFromFD

779b6ea7c4 Remove 'type' field from FileTypeInfo struct
Instead of including a field in FileTypeInfo struct for the
disk format, rely on the array index matching the format.
Use verify() to assert the correct number of elements in the
array.

a93402d48b Extract the backing store format as well as name, if available
When QEMU opens a backing store for a QCow2 file, it will
normally auto-probe for the format of the backing store,
rather than assuming it has the same format as the referencing
file. There is a QCow2 extension that allows an explicit format
for the backing store to be embedded in the referencing file.
This closes the auto-probing security hole in QEMU.

This backing store format can be useful for libvirt users
of virStorageFileGetMetadata, so extract this data and report
it.

QEMU does not require disk image backing store files to be in
the same format the file linkee. It will auto-probe the disk
format for the backing store when opening it. If the backing
store was intended to be a raw file this could be a security
hole, because a guest may have written data into its disk that
then makes the backing store look like a qcow2 file. If it can
trick QEMU into thinking the raw file is a qcow2 file, it can
access arbitrary files on the host by adding further backing
store links.

To address this, callers of virStorageFileGetMeta need to be
told of the backing store format. If no format is declared,
they can make a decision whether to allow format probing or
not.
