This patch adds support for the newly introduced
VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE and VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_SAFE flags. The console
command now has an optional parameter --force that specifies that the
user wants to forcibly interrupt an ongoing console session and create
a new one. Flag --safe requests that the console should be opened only
if the hypervisor driver supports safe console handling.
The behaviour to this point was that the daemon opened two streams to
the console, that competed for data from the pipe, and the result was
that both of the consoles ended up scrambled.
This patch doesn't modify operation of other commands dealing with
console connections (start, create) as those open connections to newly
started domains making it virtually impossible for another client to race
for the console and steal it.
* tools/console.c:
- add support for flag passthrough
* tools/console.h:
- modify function prototypes to match impl.
* tools/virsh.c:
- add flag --force for the console command
Currently virsh supports only ^] as escape character for console.
However, some users might want to use something else. This patch
creates such ability by specifying '-e' switch on virsh command
line.
This re-writes the 'virsh console' command so that it uses
the new streams API. This lets it run remotely and/or as a
non-root user. This requires that virsh be linked against
the simple event loop from libvirtd in daemon/event.c
As an added bonus, it can now connect to any console device,
not just the first one.
* tools/Makefile.am: Link to event.c
* tools/console.c, tools/console.h: Rewrite to use the
virDomainOpenConsole() APIs with streams
* tools/virsh.c: Support choosing the console name
via --devname $NAME
WIN32 is always defined when __MINGW32__ is defined, but the
converse is not true. WIN32 is more generic, if someone were
to ever attempt porting to a microsoft compiler. This does
not affect Cygwin, which intentionally does not define WIN32.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetBlockInfo): Use more
generic flag macro.
* src/storage/storage_backend.c
(virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD)
(virStorageBackendRunProgRegex): Likewise.
* tools/console.h (vshRunConsole): Likewise.
Move the virsh tool and its man page into the tools directory
* Makefile.am: Remove rules for virsh.1 man page
* virsh.1: Remove auto-generated file
* docs/Makefile.am: Remove rules for virsh.pod man page
* docs/virsh.pod: Move to tools/ directory
* src/Makefile.am, src/.gitignore: Remove rules for virsh
* src/console.c, src/console.h, src/*.ico, src/virsh_win_icon.rc,
src/virsh.c: Move into tools/ directory
* tools/Makefile.am: Add rules for building virsh
* tools/.gitignore: Ignore virsh built files
* tests/virshtest.c, tests/int-overflow: Update for new
virsh location
