Back in 2014, -fstack-protector was reported not to work on
aarch64, so fe881ae086 disabled it on that target. OS-wise,
its use is currently limited to just Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.
Looking at the situation today, it seems that whatever issue was
affecting aarch64 a decade ago has been resolved; moreover,
macOS can also use the feature these days.
I haven't checked any of the other BSDs, but since the feature
works on FreeBSD it's pretty safe to assume that they can use
it too. If we get reports that it's not the case, we can always
further restrict its usage accordingly.

Currently when we build with nbdkit support, libvirt will always try to
use nbdkit to access remote disk sources when it is available. But
without an up-to-date selinux policy allowing this, it will fail.
because the required selinux policies are not yet widely available, we
have disabled nbdkit support on rpm builds for all distributions before
Fedora 40.
Unfortunately, this makes it more difficult to test nbdkit support.
After someone updates to the necessary selinux policies, they would also
need to rebuild libvirt to enable nbdkit support. By introducing a
configure option (nbdkit_config_default), we can build packages with
nbdkit support but have it disabled by default.

Xcode 15, which provides the compiler toolchain for building libvirt
on macOS has switched to a new linker that warns about duplicated
"-lblah" options on the ld commandline. In practice this is impossible
to prevent in a large project, and also harmless.
Fortunately the new ld command also has an option,
-no_warn_duplicate_libraries, that supresses this harmless/pointless
warning, meson has a simple way to check if that option is supported,
and libvirt's meson.build files already have examples of adding an
option to the ld commandline if it's available.

Currently, passing -Dtests=disabled only disables a subset of
tests: those that are written in C and thus require compilation.
Other tests, such as the syntax-check ones and those that are
implemented as scripts, are always enabled.
There's a potentially dangerous consequence of this behavior:
when tests are disabled, 'meson test' will succeed as if they
had been enabled. No indication of this will be shown, so the
user will likely make the reasonable assumption that everything
is fine when in fact the significantly reduced coverage might
be hiding failures.
To solve this issues, disable *all* tests when asked to do so,
and inject an intentionally failing test to ensure that 'meson
test' doesn't succeed.

Currently, nbdkit support will automatically be enabled as long as
the pidfd_open(2) syscall is available. Optionally, libnbd is used
to generate more user-friendly error messages.
In theory this is all good, since use of nbdkit is supposed to be
transparent to the user. In practice, however, there is a problem:
if support for it is enabled at build time and the necessary
runtime components are installed, nbdkit will always be preferred,
with no way for the user to opt out.
This will arguably be fine in the long run, but right now none of
the platforms that we target ships with a SELinux policy that
allows libvirt to launch nbdkit, and the AppArmor policy that we
maintain ourselves hasn't been updated either.
So, in practice, as of today having nbdkit installed on the host
makes network disks completely unusable unless you're willing to
compromise the overall security of the system by disabling
SELinux/AppArmor.
In order to make the transition smoother, provide a convenient
way for users and distro packagers to disable nbdkit support at
compile time until SELinux and AppArmor are ready.
In the process, detection is completely overhauled. libnbd is
made mandatory when nbdkit support is enabled, since availability
across operating systems is comparable and offering users the
option to make error messages worse doesn't make a lot of sense;
we also make sure that an explicit request from the user to
enable/disable nbdkit support is either complied with, or results
in a build failure when that's not possible. Last but not least,
we avoid linking against libnbd when nbdkit support is disabled.
At the RPM level, we disable the feature when building against
anything older than Fedora 40, which still doesn't have the
necessary SELinux bits but will hopefully gain them by the time
it's released. We also allow nbdkit support to be disabled at
build time the same way as other optional features, that is, by
passing "--define '_without_nbdkit 1'" to rpmbuild. Finally, if
nbdkit support has been disabled, installing libvirt will no
longer drag it in as a (weak) dependency.

When using nbdkit to serve a network disk source, the nbdkit process
will start and wait for an nbd connection before actually attempting to
connect to the (remote) disk location. Because of this, nbdkit will not
report an error until after qemu is launched and tries to read from the
disk. This results in a fairly user-unfriendly error saying that qemu
was unable to start because "Requested export not available".
Ideally we'd like to be able to tell the user *why* the export is not
available, but this sort of information is only available to nbdkit, not
qemu. It could be because the url was incorrect, or because of an
authentication failure, or one of many other possibilities.
To make this friendlier for users and easier to detect
misconfigurations, try to connect to nbdkit immediately after starting
nbdkit and before we try to start qemu. This requires adding a
dependency on libnbd. If an error occurs when connecting to nbdkit, read
back from the nbdkit error log and provide that information in the error
report from qemuNbdkitProcessStart().

Adds the ability to monitor the nbdkit process so that we can take
action in case the child exits unexpectedly.
When the nbdkit process exits, we pause the vm, restart nbdkit, and then
resume the vm. This allows the vm to continue working in the event of a
nbdkit failure.
Eventually we may want to generalize this functionality since we may
need something similar for e.g. qemu-storage-daemon, etc.
The process is monitored with the pidfd_open() syscall if it exists
(since linux 5.3). Otherwise it resorts to checking whether the process

This fixes cross-building in some scenarios.
Specifically, when building for armv7l on x86_64, has_header()
will see the x86_64 version of the linux/kmv.h header and
consider it to be usable. Later, when an attempt is made to
actually include it, the compiler will quickly realize that
things can't quite work.
The reason why we haven't hit this in our CI is that we only ever
install the foreign version of header files. When building the
Debian package, however, some of the Debian-specific tooling will
bring in the native version of the Linux headers in addition to
the foreign one, causing meson to misreport the header's
availability status.
Checking for actual usability, as opposed to mere presence, of
headers is enough to make things work correctly in all cases.
The meson documentation recommends using has_header() instead of
check_header() whenever possible for performance reasons, but
while testing this change on fairly old and underpowered hardware
I haven't been able to measure any meaningful slowdown.

In our meson scripts, we use configure_file(copy:true) to copy

this is deprecated [1] in favor of using:
fs = import('fs')
fs.copyfile(in, out)
Except, the submodule's new method wasn't introduced until
0.64.0. And since we can't bump the minimal meson version we
require, we have to work with both: new and old versions.
Now, the fun part: fs.copyfile() is not a drop in replacement as
it returns different type (a custom_target object). This is
incompatible with places where we store the configure_file()
retval in a variable to process it further.
While we could just replace 'copy:true' with a dummy
'configuration:...' (say 'configuration: configmake_conf') we
can't do that for binary files (like src/fonts/ or src/images/).
Therefore, places where we are not interested in the retval can
be switched to fs.copyfile() and places where we are interested
in the retval will just use a dummy 'configuration:'.
Except, src/network/meson.build. In here we not just copy the
file but also specify alternative install dir and that's not
something that fs.copyfile() can handle. Yet, using 'copy: true'
is viewed wrong [2].
