Over time, Fedora and RHEL RPMs have often backported upstream
patches that touched configure.ac and/or Makefile.am; this
necessitates rerunning the autotools for the patch to be effective.
Making this a one-liner spec tweak will make it easier for future
backports to pull patches without having to find all the places
to touch to properly use the autotools. Meanwhile, there have been
historical instances where an update in the autotools caused FTBFS
situations, so this is not on by default.
* libvirt.spec.in (enable_autotools): New variable, default off.
(BuildRequires): Conditionally add autotools.
(%build): Conditionally use them before configure.
* mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Likewise.
The installation rules for the libvirt-guests.service were
totally broken
- Installing in the wrong location
- The location was not overridable
- The install-systemd rule was not invoked anywhere
- The install-systemd rule was not invoking install-initscript
which it depends on
- The installed service file lacked a .service extension
* tools/Makefile.am: Fix install of libvirt-guests.service
The %makeinstall macro does not set DESTDIR, instead of explicitly
prefixes %{buildroot} onto all paths. Thus we need to do the same
when setting the systemd unit dir
* libvirt.spec.in: Prefix %{buildroot} onto %{unitdir}

assumptions from generic code.
This implements the minimal set of changes needed in libvirt to launch a
PowerPC-KVM based guest.
It removes x86-specific assumptions about choice of serial driver backend
from generic qemu guest commandline generation code.
It also restricts the ACPI capability to be available for an x86 or
x86_64 domain.
This is not a complete solution -- it still does not guarantee libvirt
the capability to flag non-supported options in guest XML. (Eg, an ACPI
specification in a PowerPC guest XML will still get processed, even
though qemu-system-ppc64 does not support it while qemu-system-x86_64 does.)
This drawback exists because libvirt falls back on qemu to query supported
features, and qemu '-h' blindly lists all capabilities -- irrespective
of whether they are available while emulating a given architecture or not.
The long-term solution would be for qemu to list out capabilities based
on architecture and platform -- so that libvirt can cleanly make out what
devices are supported on an arch (say 'ppc64') and platform (say, 'mac99').

This enables libvirt to select the correct qemu binary (qemu-system-ppc64)
for a guest vm based on arch 'ppc64'.
Also, libvirt is enabled to correctly parse the list of supported PowerPC
CPUs, generated by running 'qemu-system-ppc64 -cpu ?'

/proc/cpuinfo
Libvirt at present depends on /proc/cpuinfo to gather host
details such as CPUs, cores, threads, etc. This is an architecture-
dependent approach. An alternative is to use 'Sysfs', which provides
a platform-agnostic interface to parse host CPU topology.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694403 reports that
the specfile is incorrectly checking for a running libvirt-guests
service. For example,
$ LC_ALL=es_ES chkconfig --list libvirt-guests
libvirt-guests 0:desactivado 1:desactivado 2:desactivado 3:activo 4:activo 5:activo 6:desactivado
will fail to find 5:on, even though it is active. But chkconfig
already has a mode where you can silently use the exit status to
check for an active service.
* libvirt.spec.in (%post): Use simpler chkconfig options, to avoid
issues with localization.

When one thread passes the buck to another thread, it uses
virCondSignal to wake up the target thread. The variable
'haveTheBuck' is not updated in a race-free manner when
this occurs. The current thread sets it to false, and the
woken up thread sets it to true. There is a window where
a 3rd thread can come in and grab the buck.
Even if this didn't lead to crashes & deadlocks, this would
still result in unfairness in the buckpassing algorithm.
A better solution is to *never* set haveTheBuck to false
when we're passing the buck. Only set it to false when there
is no further thread waiting for the buck.

With security_driver set to "none" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf,
libvirtd would crash when attempted to attach to an existing
qemu process. Only copy the security model if it actually exists.
During virDomainDestroy, QEMU may emit SHUTDOWN event as a response to
SIGTERM and since domain object is still locked, the event is processed
after the domain is destroyed. We need to ignore this event in such case
to avoid changing domain state from shutoff to shutdown.
This patch is to expose the fabric_name of fc_host class, which
might be useful for users who wants to known which fabric the
(v)HBA connects to.
The patch also adds the missed capabilities' XML schema of scsi_host,
(of course, with fabric_wwn added), and update the documents
(docs/formatnode.html.in)
Currently if you try to connect to a local libvirtd when
libvirtd is not in $PATH, you'll get an error
error: internal error invalid use of command API
This is because remoteFindDaemonPath() returns NULL, which
causes us to pass NULL into virNetSocketConnectUNIX which
in turn causes us to pass NULL into virCommandNewArgList.
Adding missing error checks improves this to
error: internal error Unable to locate libvirtd daemon in $PATH
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Report error if libvirtd
cannot be found
* src/rpc/virnetsocket.c: Report error if caller requested
spawning of daemon, but provided no binary path
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754909 complains that
because libvirt didn't require dmidecode, that the logs are noisy
and virConnectGetSysinfo needlessly fails. Even 'virt-what' requires
dmidecode, so it's not that onerous of a dependency. We may be
able to drop this in the future when we move to parsing sysfs data,
but for now, listing the dependency will help matters.
* libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Sort Requires before BuildRequires.
Add dmidecode.
Older gcc warns (on every file!) that -Wabi and -Wdeprecated only

When QEMU guest finishes its shutdown sequence, qemu stops virtual CPUs
and when started with -no-shutdown waits for us to kill it using
SGITERM. Since QEMU is flushing its internal buffers, some time may pass
before QEMU actually dies. We mistakenly used "paused" state (and
events) for this which is quite confusing since users may see a domain
going to pause while they expect it to shutdown. Since we already have
"shutdown" state with "the domain is being shut down" semantics, we
should use it for this state.
However, the state didn't have a corresponding event so I created one
and called its detail as VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SHUTDOWN_FINISHED (guest OS
finished its shutdown sequence) with the intent to add
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SHUTDOWN_STARTED in the future if we have a
sufficiently capable guest agent that can notify us when guest OS starts
to shutdown.
Otherwise connections to older libvirt abort with:

We want our tarballs to be complete - this means that any
generated file that gets shipped as part of the tarball so that
ordinary users don't have to rebuild it must be something
that the maintainer can generate. There have been various
reports of random build failures when using libvirt.git
instead of a tarball, and often it is due to missing a
maintainer-specific tool to produce one of these generated
files. This patch raises the bar for what you must have
installed to build libvirt.git, but does not impact what
you can get away with for building tarballs.
Note: It still remains possible to do a successful 'make dist'
without these tools, when starting from a release tarball.

I had previously tested commit 059d746 with -O intentionally omitted
from my CFLAGS; but that means that I missed out on this warning
from gcc 4.6.2 when optimizations are enabled:
util/buf.c: In function 'virBufferGetIndent':
util/buf.c:86:1: error: function might be candidate for attribute 'pure' [-Werror=suggest-attribute=pure]
While it is probably a good idea to add the attributes and silence
this warning, it's also invasive; 'make -k' found more than 75 such
complaints. And it doesn't help that gcc 4.6.2 is still buggy
(coreutils reported a case where gcc 4.6.2 incorrectly suggested
marking a function pure that incremented a global variable; fixed
in gcc 4.7). So the best fix for now is to disable the warning.
It also doesn't help that I stumbled across another problem - gcc
documents that -Wsuggest-attribute=pure only warns if you use -O,
or if you use -fipa-pure-const. But in practice, when I omitted -O
but added -fipa-pure-const, the warnings are fickle - I got warnings
for simple compilation that disappeared when I also added -fPIC.
And the way libtool compiles things is with -fPIC first, then without
-fPIC but with errors sent to /dev/null - which meant that without
disabling -Wsuggest-attribute=pure, I got a compile error with no
message. :( See http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10197
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Silence
-Wsuggest-attribute warnings for now.
The pathname for the pipe for tunnelled migration is unresolvable. The
libvirt apparmor driver therefore refuses access, causing migration to
fail. If we can't resolve the path, the worst that can happen is that
we should have given permission to the file but didn't. Otherwise
(especially since this is a /proc/$$/fd/N file) the file is already open
and libvirt won't be refused access by apparmor anyway.
Also adjust virt-aa-helper to allow access to the
*.tunnelmigrate.dest.name files.

Originaly, the code checked if another client is the queue and infered
ownership of the buck from that. Commit fa9595003d
added a separate variable to track the buck. That caused, that a new
call might enter claiming it has the buck, while another thread was
signalled to take the buck. This ends in two threads claiming they hold
the buck and entering poll(). This happens due to a race on waking up
threads on the client lock mutex.
This caused multi-threaded clients to hang, most prominently visible and
reproducible on python based clients, like virt-manager.
This patch causes threads, that have been signalled to take the buck to
re-check if buck is held by another thread.

probes.h can only be generated on Linux, and then only with dtrace
installed. If it is part of the tarball, then either 'make dist'
will fail if you don't have that setup, or we would have to start
keeping probes.h in libvirt.git. Since we only need it to be
generated when dtrace is in use, it's better to avoid shipping
it in the first place, and avoid tracking it in git.
Meanwhile, there is a build dependency - since the RPC code is
generated, it can be built early; but when dtrace is enabled, we
must ensure probes.h is built even earlier. Commit 1afcfbdd tried
to fix this, but did so in a way that added probes.h into the
tarball, and broke VPATH as well. Commit ecbca767 fixed VPATH,
but didn't fix the more fundamental problem. This patch solves
the issue by adding a dependency instead.
Tested with 'make dist' in a clean VPATH builds, for both
