ee16a195d9 driver: Introduce virDriverShouldAutostart()
Some of objects we manage can be autostarted on libvirtd startup
(e.g. domains, network, storage pools). The idea was that when
the host is started up these objects are started too without need
of user intervention. However, with the latest daemon split and
switch to socket activated, short lived daemons (we put --timeout
120 onto each daemon's command line) this doesn't do what we want
it to. The problem is not new though, we already had the session
daemon come and go and we circumvented this problem by
documenting it (see v4.10.0-92-g61b4e8aaf1). But now that we meet
the same problem at all fronts it's time to deal with it.

The solution implemented in this commit is to have a file (one
per each driver) that:

  1) if doesn't exist, is created and autostart is allowed for
     given driver,

  2) if it does exist, then autostart is suppressed for given
     driver.

All the files live in a location that doesn't survive host
reboots (/var/run/ for instance) and thus the file is
automatically not there on fresh host boot.

23605f58bf build: ask for -std=gnu99 explicitly
We previously got -std=gnu99 secretly enabled as a side-effect
of requesting the 'stdarg' gnulib module. We rely on some
extensions from c99/gnu99 and while RHEL-7 supports this, it
still defaults to gnu89.  RHEL-7 also supports some newer
standards but declares them experimental/incomplete, so sticking
with gnu99 is best bet for now & matches historical usage.

8ab67fb64f build: force -Werror for distcheck target
The 'make distcheck' target validates that a tarball builds and

running distcheck.

This ensures that our CI systems in turn also use -Werror.

5be0d28b3e fixed handling of sourceless disks in 'domblkinfo' cmd
virDomainGetBlockInfo() returns error if called on a disk with no
source (a sourceless disk might be a removable media drive with no
media in it, for instance an empty CDROM or floppy drive).

So far this caused the virsh domblkinfo --all command to abort and
ignore any remaining (not yet displayed) disk devices.  This patch
fixes the problem by first checking for existence of a <source>
element in the corresponding XML.  If none is found, we avoid calling
virDomainGetBlockInfo() altogether as we know it's bound to fail in
that case.

47a1edaa46 qemu_driver: hook up query-cpu-model-comparison
This command is hooked into the virsh hypervisor-cpu-compare command.
As such, the CPU model XML provided to the command will be compared
to the hypervisor CPU contained in the QEMU capabilities file for the

via virsh domcapabilities).

QMP will report that the XML CPU is either identical to, a subset of,
or incompatible with the hypervisor CPU. s390 can also report that
the XML CPU is a "superset" of the hypervisor CPU. This response is
presented as incompatible, as this CPU model would not be able to run
on the hypervisor.

ca437d0603 qemu: Refuse partitions in disk targets
The way in which the qemu driver generates aliases for disks involves
ignoring the partition number part of a target dev name.  This means that
all partitions of a block device and the device itself all end up with the
same alias.  If multiple such disks are specified in XML, the resulting
name clash makes qemu invocation fail.

Since attaching partitions to qemu VMs doesn't seem to make much sense
anyway, disallow partitions in target specifications altogether.

509a1d9da4 remote: don't pull anonymous enums into rpc protocol structs
The VIR_TYPED_PARAM_* enum fields are defined in libvirt-common.h, not
in the remote protcol, so shouldn't be part of the protocol structs
output check. This avoids similar problems hitting when we add use of
glib, which has other such anonymous enums.

557ac8cbf5 docs: attempt to document the general libvirt dev strategy
There are various ideas / plans floating around for future libvirt work,
some of which is actively in progress. Historically we've never captured
this kind of information anywhere, except in mailing list discussions.
In particular guidelines in hacking.html.in don't appear until a policy
is actively applied.

This patch attempts to fill the documentation gap, by creating a new
"strategy" page which outlines the general vision for some notable
future changes. The key thing to note is that none of the stuff on this
page is guaranteed, plans may change as new information arises. IOW this
is a "best guess" as to the desired future.

This doc has focused on three areas, related to the topic of language
usage / consolidation

 - Use of non-C languages for the library, daemons or helper tools
 - Replacement of autotools with meson
 - Use of RST and Sphinx for documentation (website + man pages)

76d31244c5 rpc: fix escaping of shell path for netcat binary
Consider having a nc binary in the path with a space in its name,
for example '/tmp/fo o/nc'

This results in libvirt running SSH with the following arg value

  "'if ''/tmp/fo o/nc'' -q 2>&1 | grep \"requires
    an argument\" >/dev/null 2>&1; then ARG=-q0;
    else ARG=;fi;''/tmp/fo o/nc'' $ARG -U
    /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'"

The use of the single quote escaping was introduced by

  commit 6ac6238de3
  Author: Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org>
  Date:   Thu Oct 13 21:49:01 2011 +0200

    Use virBufferEscapeShell in virNetSocketNewConnectSSH

    to escape the netcat command since it's passed to the shell. Adjust
    expected test case output accordingly.

While the intention of this change was good, the result is broken as it
is still underquoted.

On the SSH server side, SSH itself runs the command via the shell.
Our command is then invoking the shell again. Thus we see

$ virsh -c qemu+ssh://root@domokun/system?netcat=%2Ftmp%2Ffo%20o%2Fnc list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: End of file while reading data: sh: /tmp/fo: No such file or directory: Input/output error

With the second level of escaping added we can now successfully use a nc
binary with a space in the path.

The original test case added was misleading as it illustrated using a
binary path of 'nc -4' which is not a path, it is a command with a
separate argument, which is getting interpreted as a path.

2f163204ff qemu_capabilities: Put only unique FW images into domcaps
In the domain capabilities XML there are FW image paths printed.
There are two sources for the image paths (in order of
preference):

  1) firmware descriptor files - as returned by
  qemuFirmwareGetSupported()

  2) a compile time list of FW:NRAM pairs which can be overridden
  in qemu.conf

If either of those contains a duplicate FW image path (which is
a valid use case) it is printed twice in the capabilities XML.
While it's technically not a bug, it doesn't look good.
