c8238579fb lib: Drop internal virXXXPtr typedefs
Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:

  typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
  typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;

But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.

This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

95089f481e util: assign tap device names using a monotonically increasing integer
When creating a standard tap device, if provided with an ifname that
contains "%d", rather than taking that literally as the name to use
for the new device, the kernel will instead use that string as a
template, and search for the lowest number that could be put in place
of %d and produce an otherwise unused and unique name for the new
device. For example, if there is no tap device name given in the XML,
libvirt will always send "vnet%d" as the device name, and the kernel
will create new devices named "vnet0", "vnet1", etc. If one of those
devices is deleted, creating a "hole" in the name list, the kernel
will always attempt to reuse the name in the hole first before using a
name with a higher number (i.e. it finds the lowest possible unused
number).

The problem with this, as described in the previous patch dealing with
macvtap device naming, is that it makes "immediate reuse" of a newly
freed tap device name *much* more common, and in the aftermath of
deleting a tap device, there is some other necessary cleanup of things
which are named based on the device name (nwfilter rules, bandwidth
rules, OVS switch ports, to name a few) that could end up stomping
over the top of the setup of a new device of the same name for a
different guest.

Since the kernel "create a name based on a template" functionality for
tap devices doesn't exist for macvtap, this patch for standard tap
devices is a bit different from the previous patch for macvtap - in
particular there was no previous "bitmap ID reservation system" or
overly-complex retry loop that needed to be removed. We simply find
and unused name, and pass that name on to the kernel instead of
"vnet%d".

This counter is also wrapped when either it gets to INT_MAX or if the
full name would overflow IFNAMSIZ-1 characters. In the case of
"vnet%d" and a 32 bit int, we would reach INT_MAX first, but possibly
someday someone will change the name from vnet to something else.

(NB: It is still possible for a user to provide their own
parameterized template name (e.g. "mytap%d") in the XML, and libvirt
will just pass that through to the kernel as it always has.)

This is needed if we want to call the function when the
virDomainNetDef* we have is a const.

Since virDomainNetGetActualVlan returns a pointer to memory that is
within the virDomainNetDefPtr arg, the returned pointer must also be
made const. This leads to a cascade of other virNetDevVlanPtr's that
must be changed to "const virNetDevVlan *".

600462834f Remove all Author(s): lines from source file headers
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.

Linux states that packets transmitted by domain are received by
the host and vice versa. Well, this is true but not for all types
of interfaces. For instance, for macvtaps when TAP device is
hooked right onto a physical device any packet that domain sends
looks also like a packet sent to the host. Therefore, we should
allow caller to chose if the stats returned should be straight

407a281a8e Revert "Prevent more compiler optimization of mockable functions"
This reverts commit e4b980c853.

When a binary links against a .a archive (as opposed to a shared library),
any symbols which are marked as 'weak' get silently dropped. As a result
when the binary later runs, those 'weak' functions have an address of
0x0 and thus crash when run.

This happened with virtlogd and virtlockd because they don't link to
libvirt.so, but instead just libvirt_util.a and libvirt_rpc.a. The
virRandomBits symbols was weak and so left out of the virtlogd &
virtlockd binaries, despite being required by virHashTable functions.

Various other binaries like libvirt_lxc, libvirt_iohelper, etc also
link directly to .a files instead of libvirt.so, so are potentially
at risk of dropping symbols leading to a later runtime crash.

This is normal linker behaviour because a weak symbol is not treated
as undefined, so nothing forces it to be pulled in from the .a You
have to force the linker to pull in weak symbols using -u$SYMNAME
which is not a practical approach.

This risk is silent bad linkage that affects runtime behaviour is
not acceptable for a fix that was merely trying to fix the test
suite. So stop using __weak__ again.

e4b980c853 Prevent more compiler optimization of mockable functions
Currently all mockable functions are annotated with the 'noinline'
attribute. This is insufficient to guarantee that a function can
be reliably mocked with an LD_PRELOAD. The C language spec allows
the compiler to assume there is only a single implementation of
each function. It can thus do things like propagating constant
return values into the caller at compile time, or creating
multiple specialized copies of the function body each optimized
for a different caller. To prevent these optimizations we must
also set the 'noclone' and 'weak' attributes.

This fixes the test suite when libvirt.so is built with CLang
with optimization enabled.

728cacc8ab annotate all mocked functions with noinline
CLang's optimizer is more aggressive at inlining functions than
gcc and so will often inline functions that our tests want to
mock-override. This causes the test to fail in bizarre ways.

We don't want to disable inlining completely, but we must at
least prevent inlining of mocked functions. Fortunately there
is a 'noinline' attribute that lets us control this per function.

A syntax check rule is added that parses tests/*mock.c to extract
the list of functions that are mocked (restricted to names starting
with 'vir' prefix). It then checks that src/*.h header file to
ensure it has a 'ATTRIBUTE_NOINLINE' annotation. This should prevent
use from bit-rotting in future.

to change its connection, and also to re-attach to the "same" bridge
when a network has been stopped and restarted. So far it is used for
nothing.

dd8ac030fb util: add MTU arg to virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort()
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort() has always set the new tap device to
the current MTU of the bridge it's being attached to. There is one
case where we will want to set the new tap device to a different
(usually larger) MTU - if that's done with the very first device added
to the bridge, the bridge's MTU will be set to the device's MTU. This
patch allows for that possibility by adding "int mtu" to the arg list
for virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(), but all callers are sending -1,
so it doesn't yet have any effect.

Since the requested MTU isn't necessarily what is used in the end (for
example, if there is no MTU requested, the tap device will be set to
the current MTU of the bridge), and the hypervisor may want to know
the actual MTU used, we also return the actual MTU to the caller (if
actualMTU is non-NULL).

db488c7917 network: fix dnsmasq/radvd binding to IPv6 on recent kernels
I hit this problem recently when trying to create a bridge with an IPv6
address on a 3.2 kernel: dnsmasq (and, further, radvd) would not bind to
the given address, waiting 20s and then giving up with -EADDRNOTAVAIL
(resp. exiting immediately with "error parsing or activating the config
file", without libvirt noticing it, BTW). This can be reproduced with (I
think) any kernel >= 2.6.39 and the following XML (to be used with
"virsh net-create"):

        <network>
          <name>test-bridge</name>
          <bridge name='testbr0' />
          <ip family='ipv6' address='fd00::1' prefix='64'>
          </ip>
        </network>

(it happens even when you have an IPv4, too)

The problem is that since commit [1] (which, ironically, was made to
“help IPv6 autoconfiguration”) the linux bridge code makes bridges
behave like “real” devices regarding carrier detection. This makes the
bridges created by libvirt, which are started without any up devices,
stay with the NO-CARRIER flag set, and thus prevents DAD (Duplicate
address detection) from happening, thus letting the IPv6 address flagged
as “tentative”. Such addresses cannot be bound to (see RFC 2462), so
dnsmasq fails binding to it (for radvd, it detects that "interface XXX
is not RUNNING", thus that "interface XXX does not exist, ignoring the
interface" (sic)). It seems that this behavior was enhanced somehow with
commit [2] by avoiding setting NO-CARRIER on empty bridges, but I
couldn't reproduce this behavior on my kernel. Anyway, with the “dummy
tap to set MAC address” trick, this wouldn't work.

To fix this, the idea is to get the bridge's attached device to be up so
that DAD can happen (deactivating DAD altogether is not a good idea, I
think). Currently, libvirt creates a dummy TAP device to set the MAC
address of the bridge, keeping it down. But even if we set this device
up, it is not RUNNING as soon as the tap file descriptor attached to it
is closed, thus still preventing DAD. So, we must modify the API a bit,
so that we can get the fd, keep the tap device persistent, run the
daemons, and close it after DAD has taken place. After that, the bridge
will be flagged NO-CARRIER again, but the daemons will be running, even
if not happy about the device's state (but we don't really care about
the bridge's daemons doing anything when no up interface is connected to
it).

Other solutions that I envisioned were:
      * Keeping the *-nic interface up: this would waste an fd for each
        bridge during all its life. May be acceptable, I don't really
        know.
      * Stop using the dummy tap trick, and set the MAC address directly
        on the bridge: it is possible since quite some time it seems,
        even if then there is the problem of the bridge not being
        RUNNING when empty, contrary to what [2] says, so this will need
        fixing (and this fix only happened in 3.1, so it wouldn't work
        for 2.6.39)
      * Using the --interface option of dnsmasq, but I saw somewhere
        that it's not used by libvirt for backward compatibility. I am
        not sure this would solve this problem, though, as I don't know
        how dnsmasq binds itself to it with this option.

This is why this patch does what's described earlier.

This patch also makes radvd start even if the interface is
“missing” (i.e. it is not RUNNING), as it daemonizes before binding to
it, and thus sometimes does it after the interface has been brought down
by us (by closing the tap fd), and then originally stops. This also
makes it stop yelling about it in the logs when the interface is down at
a later time.

belongs to a particular VM by using the Domain UUID.

ovs-vsctl get Interface vnet0 external_ids
{attached-mac="52:54:00:8C:55:2C", iface-id="83ce45d6-3639-096e-ab3c-21f66a05f7fa", iface-status=active, vm-id="142a90a7-0acc-ab92-511c-586f12da8851"}

V2 changes:
Replaced vm-uuid with vm-id. There was a discussion in Open vSwitch
mailinglist that we should stick with the same DB key postfixes for the
sake of consistency (e.g iface-id, vm-id ...).

d1c310231d util: combine bools in virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort into flags
With an additional new bool added to determine whether or not to
discourage the use of the supplied MAC address by the bridge itself,
virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort had three booleans (well, 2 bools and
an int used as a bool) in the arg list, which made it increasingly
difficult to follow what was going on. This patch combines those three
into a single flags arg, which not only shortens the arg list, but
makes it more self-documenting.

c1b164d70c util: centralize tap device MAC address 1st byte "0xFE" modification
When a tap device for a domain is created and attached to a bridge,
the first byte of the tap device MAC address is set to 0xFE, while the
rest is set to match the MAC address that will be presented to the
guest as its network device MAC address. Setting this high value in
the tap's MAC address discourages the bridge from using the tap
device's MAC address as the bridge's own MAC address (Linux bridges
always take on the lowest numbered MAC address of all attached devices
as their own).

In one case within libvirt, a tap device is created and attached to
the bridge with the intent that its MAC address be taken on by the
bridge as its own (this is used to assure that the bridge has a fixed
MAC address to prevent network outages created by the bridge MAC
address "flapping" as guests are started and stopped). In this case,
the first byte of the mac address is *not* altered to 0xFE.

In the current code, callers to virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort each
make the MAC address modification themselves before calling, which
leads to code duplication, and also prevents lower level functions
from knowing the real MAC address being used by the guest. The problem
here is that openvswitch bridges must be informed about this MAC
address, or they will be unable to pass traffic to/from the guest.

This patch centralizes the location of the MAC address "0xFE fixup"
into virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(), meaning 1) callers of this
function no longer need the extra strange bit of code, and 2)
bitNetDevTapCreateBridgeInPort itself now is called with the guest's
unaltered MAC address, and can pass it on, unmodified, to
virNetDevOpenvswitchAddPort.

There is no other behavioral change created by this patch.

df81004632 network: support Open vSwitch
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
      <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
        <parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
      </virtualport>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
                          slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
      <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
      </virtualport>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
                          slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:

   <interface type='bridge'>
     <source bridge='ovsbr'/>
     <mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
     <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
       <parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
                   profileid='test-profile'/>
     </virtualport>
   </interface>

To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:

    ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr
