We have our own implementation of setns() which was introduced in
v1.2.9-rc1~190 and extended afterwards. The reason was that back
in 2014 we were dealing with glibc that in some of its older
versions did not provide the function. Mostly for non-intel
arches. Nevertheless, glibc now offers the function for all
architectures we care about (aarch64 being the freshest
architecture where the function was introduced, in glibc-2.17).

This was originally introduced in c2fb8bfee3, reportedly to
support symbol versioning on Solaris; more recently, 30b301c6ea
ported it to meson.
Up until the previous commit this has resulted in passing
-M .../libvirt/build/src/libvirt.syms
to the linker on macOS, but the implementation of the -M option
on that platform's linker is literally
else if ( strcmp(arg, "-M") == 0 ) {
// FIX FIX
}
so in practice we've been providing an additional input file,
which the linker understandably ignores after printing a warning
since it's not in any format that it recognizes.
Considering that LLVM's linker, which is now used by default on
FreeBSD, supports the same --version-script option as the GNU
linker, that we have introduced special handling for macOS, and
that we don't target Solaris, we can simply drop the branch at
this point.

Instead of creating an empty object and then setting keys one
at a time, it is possible to pass a dict object to
configuration_data(). This is nicer because it doesn't require
repeating the name of the cfg_data object over and over.
There is one exception: the 'conf' object, where we store values
that are used directly by C code. In that case, using a dict
object is not feasible for two reasons: first of all, replacing
the set_quoted() calls would result in awkward code with a lot
of calls to format(); moreover, since code that modifies it is
sprinkled all over the place, refactoring it would probably
make things more complicated rather than simpler.

While it's true that our virCommand subsystem is happy with
non-absolute paths, the dnsmasq capability code is not. It stores
the path to dnsmasq within and makes it accessible via
dnsmasqCapsGetBinaryPath(). While strictly speaking no caller
necessarily needs canonicalized path, let's find dnsmasq once and
cache the result.
Therefore, when constructing the capabilities structure look up
the binary path. If DNSMASQ already contains an absolute path
then virFindFileInPath() will simply return a copy.
With this code in place, the virFileIsExecutable() check can be
removed from dnsmasqCapsRefreshInternal() because
virFindFileInPath() already made sure the binary is executable.
But introducing virFindFileInPath() means we have to mock it in
test suite because dnsmasqCaps are created in
networkxml2conftest.
Moreover, we don't need to check for dnsmasq in configure.

Recently, FreeBSD has got sched_get/setaffinity(3) implementations and

users have to define _WITH_CPU_SET_T.
This breaks current detection. Specifically, meson sees the
sched_getaffinity() symbol and defines WITH_SCHED_GETAFFINITY. This
define unlocks Linux implementation of virProcessSetAffinity() and other
functions, which fails to build on FreeBSD because cpu_set_t is not
visible as _WITH_CPU_SET_T is not defined.
For now, change detection to the following:
- Instead of checking sched_getaffinity(), check if 'cpu_set_t' is
available through sched.h
- Explicitly check the sched.h header instead of assuming its presence
if WITH_SCHED_SETSCHEDULER is defined

There is no guarantee that QEMU and libvirt have been configured
with the same prefix.
In particular, Homebrew on macOS will pass a different, private
prefix for each package version and then use symlinks to make
the files for a specific version appear in the usual locations.
This works perfectly fine as long as one package doesn't try to
go poking around another package's data - which is exactly what
libvirt needs to do in order to read and parse the QEMU interop
data.
qemu_datadir can now be explicitly provided to make this and
other uncommon scenarios work. The common scenario, where QEMU

With the traditional libvirtd, the virConnectOpen call will probe active
drivers server side to find which one to use when the URI is NULL/empty.
With the modular daemons though, the remote client does not know which
daemon to connect in the first place, so we can't rely on virConnectOpen
probing. Currently the virtproxyd daemon has code to probe for a
possible driver by looking at which sockets are listening or which
binaries are installed. The remote client can thus connect to virtproxyd
which in turn can connect to a real hypervisor driver.
The virtproxyd probing code though isn't something that needs to live in
virtproxyd. By moving it into the remote client we can get probing
client side in all scenarios and avoid the extra trip via virtproxyd in

Cloud-Hypervisor is a KVM virtualization using hypervisor. It
functions similarly to qemu and the libvirt Cloud-Hypervisor driver
uses a very similar structure to the libvirt driver.
The biggest difference from the libvirt perspective is that the
"monitor" socket is seperated into two sockets one that commands are
issued to and one that events are notified from. The current
implementation only uses the command socket (running over a REST API
with json encoded data) with future changes to add support for the
event socket (to better handle shutdowns from inside the VM).
This patch adds support for the following initial VM actions using the
Cloud-Hypervsior API:
* vm.create
* vm.delete
* vm.boot
* vm.shutdown
* vm.reboot
* vm.pause
* vm.resume
To use the Cloud-Hypervisor driver, the v15.0 release of
Cloud-Hypervisor is required to be installed.
Some additional notes:
* The curl handle is persistent but not useful to detect ch process
shutdown/crash (a future patch will address this shortcoming)
* On a 64-bit host Cloud-Hypervisor needs to support PVH and so can
emulate 32-bit mode but it isn't fully tested (a 64-bit kernel and
32-bit userspace is fine, a 32-bit kernel isn't validated)

Meson defines a warning_level option which has the following behaviour
with C code
0: no warning flags
1: -Wall
2: -Wall -Wextra
3: -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic
Currently we add our extra warning flags unconditionally if the compiler
supports them, regardless of the meson warning_level setting. This has
effectively nullified the warning_level setting in meson, and also
results in meson printing these messages:
meson.build:498: WARNING: Consider using the built-in warning_level option instead of using "-Wall".
meson.build:498: WARNING: Consider using the built-in warning_level option instead of using "-Wextra".
Semantically we can think of our huge list of flags as being an "extra"
set of warnings, and thus we ought to only add them when meson would
itself use -Wextra. aka warning_level == 2 or 3.
In practice libvirt code can't be built with -Wpedantic so we can ignore
meson warning_level 3, and only add our flags when warning_level==2.
In doing this change, we no longer have to check -Wall/-Wextra ourselves
as we can assume meson already set them.
-W is an alias of -Wextra so it is removed too.

To support domUs with more than 4TB memory it is required to use

Unfortunately this change is not straight forward. While most of the
code in libxl.h handles the various LIBXL_API_VERSION variants
correctly, the check for valid a LIBXL_API_VERSION at the beginning of
the file was broken between Xen 4.7 and 4.13 - it did not cover for
API changes introduced in Xen 4.7 and 4.8. This was fixed with
xen-project/xen@c3999835df, which for libvirt means in practice either
the libxl API from Xen 4.5 or 4.13+ can be used.
This change uses pkgconfig to decide which API can be safely selected.
Xen provides a pkgconfig file since Xen 4.6, which is also the lowest

GLibC has a really complicated way of dealing with the 'stat' function
historically, which means our mocks in turn have to look at four
different possible functions to replace, stat, stat64, __xstat,
__xstat64.
In Fedora 33 and earlier:
- libvirt.so links to __xstat64
- libc.so library exports stat, stat64, __xstat, __xstat64
- sys/stat.h header exposes stat and __xstat
In Fedora 34 rawhide:
- libvirt.so links to stat64
- libc.so library exports stat, stat64, __xstat, __xstat64
- sys/stat.h header exposes stat
Historically we only looked at the exported symbols from libc.so to
decide which to mock.
In F34 though we must not consider __xstat / __xstat64 though because
they only existance for binary compatibility. Newly built binaries
won't reference them.
Thus we must introduce a header file check into our logic for deciding
which symbol to mock. We must ignore the __xstat / __xstat64 symbols
if they don't appear in the sys/stat.h header, even if they appear
in libc.so

This flag was originally created to indicate that either 1) the build
platform wasn't linux, 2) the build platform was linux, but the kernel
was too old to have macvtap support. Since there was already a switch
there, the ability to also disable it when 3) the kernel supports
macvtap but the user doesn't want it, was added in. I don't think that
(3) was ever an intentional goal, just something that grew naturally
out of having the flag there in the first place (unless possibly the
original author wanted a way to quickly disable their new code in case
it caused regressions elsewhere).
Now that the check for (2) has been removed, WITH_MACVTAP is just
checking (1) and (3), but (3) is pointless (because the extra code in
libvirt itself is miniscule, and the only external library needed for
it is libnl, which is also required for other unrelated features (and
itself has no subordinate dependencies and takes up < 1MB on
disk)). We can therfore eliminate the WITH_MACVTAP flag, as it is
functionally equivalent to WITH_LIBNL (which implies __linux__).

support was added, the IFLA_* stuff was new (introduced in kernel
2.6.35, backported to RHEL6 2.6.32 kernel at some point), and so this
extra check was necessary, because libvirt was being built on Linux
distros that didn't yet have IFLA_* (e.g. older RHEL6, all
RHEL5). It's been in the kernel for a *very* long time now, so all
supported versions of all Linux platforms libvirt builds on have it.
Note that the above paragraph implies that the conditional compilation
should be changed to #if defined(__linux__). However, the astute
reader will notice that the code in question is sending and receiving
