a3e95abeb5 Document bracket whitespace rules & add syntax-check rule
This documents the following whitespace rules

      if(foo)   // Bad
      if (foo)  // Good

      int foo (int wizz)  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz)   // Good

      bar = foo (wizz);  // Bad
      bar = foo(wizz);   // Good

      typedef int (*foo) (int wizz);  // Bad
      typedef int (*foo)(int wizz);   // Good

      int foo( int wizz );  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz);    // Good

There is a syntax-check rule extension to validate all these rules.
Checking for 'function (...args...)' is quite difficult since it
needs to ignore valid usage with keywords like 'if (...test...)'
and while/for/switch. It must also ignore source comments and
quoted strings.

It is not possible todo this with a simple regex in the normal
syntax-check style. So a short Perl script is created instead
to analyse the source. In practice this works well enough. The
only thing it can't cope with is multi-line quoted strings of
the form

 "start of string\
more lines\
more line\
the end"

but this can and should be written as

 "start of string"
 "more lines"
 "more line"
 "the end"

with this simple change, the bracket checking script does not
have any false positives across libvirt source, provided it
is only run against .c files. It is not practical to run it
against .h files, since those use whitespace extensively to
get alignment (though this is somewhat inconsistent and could
arguably be fixed).

The only limitation is that it cannot detect a violation where
the first arg starts with a '*', eg

   foo(*wizz);

since this generates too many false positives on function
typedefs which can't be supressed efficiently.

fe772f24a6 daemon: Avoid 'Could not find keytab file' in syslog
On F17 at least, every time libvirtd starts we get this in syslog:

libvirtd: Could not find keytab file: /etc/libvirt/krb5.tab: No such file or directory

This comes from cyrus-sasl, and happens regardless of whether the
gssapi plugin is requested, which is what actually uses
/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab.

While cyrus-sasl shouldn't complain, we can easily make it shut up by
commenting out the keytab value by default.

Also update the keytab comment to the more modern one from qemu's
sasl config file.

e2c41e4860 storage: match RNG to supported driver types
At one point, the code passed through arbitrary strings for file
formats, which supposedly lets qemu handle a new file type even
before libvirt has been taught to handle it.  However, to properly
label files, libvirt has to learn the file type anyway, so we
might as well make our life easier by only accepting file types
that we are prepared to handle.  This patch lets the RNG validation
ensure that only known strings are let through.

supported strings.

f108944ae0 doc: Sort out the relationship between <vcpu>, <vcpupin>, and <emulatorpin>
These 3 elements conflicts with each other in either the doc
or the underlying codes.

Current problems:

Problem 1:

The doc shouldn't simply say "These settings are superseded
by CPU tuning. " for element <vcpu>. As except the tuning, <vcpu>
allows to specify the current, maxmum vcpu number. Apart from that,
<vcpu> also allows to specify the placement as "auto", which binds
the domain process to the advisory nodeset from numad.

Problem 2:

Doc for <vcpu> says its "cpuset" specify the physical CPUs
that the vcpus can be pinned. But it's not the truth, as
actually it only pin domain process to the specified physical
CPUs. So either it's a document bug, or code bug.

Problem 3:

Doc for <vcpupin> says it supersed "cpuset" of <vcpu>, it's
not quite correct, as each <vcpupin> specify the pinning policy
only for one vcpu. How about the ones which doesn't have
<vcpupin> specified? it says the vcpu will be pinned to all
available physical CPUs, but what's the meaning of attribute
"cpuset" of <vcpu> then?

Problem 4:

Doc for <emulatorpin> says it pin the emulator threads (domain
process in other context, perhaps another follow up patch to
cleanup the inconsistency is needed) to the physical CPUs
specified its attribute "cpuset". Which conflicts with
<vcpu>'s "cpuset". And actually in the underlying codes,
it set the affinity for domain process twice if both
"cpuset" for <vcpu> and <emulatorpin> are specified,
and <emulatorpin>'s pinning will override <vcpu>'s.

Problem 5:

When "placement" of <vcpu> is "auto" (I.e. uses numad to
get the advisory nodeset to which the domain process is
pinned to), it will also be overridden by <emulatorpin>,

This patch is trying to sort out the conflicts or bugs by:

1) Don't say <vcpu> is superseded by <cputune>

2) Keep the semanteme for "cpuset" of <vcpu> (I.e. Still says it
   specify the physical CPUs the virtual CPUs). But modifying it
   to mention it also set the pinning policy for domain process,
   and the CPU placement of domain process specified by "cpuset"
   of <vcpu> will be ingored if <emulatorpin> specified, and
   similary, the CPU placement of vcpu thread will be ignored
   if it has <vcpupin> specified, for vcpu which doesn't have
   <vcpupin> specified, it inherits "cpuset" of <vcpu>.

3) Don't say <vcpu> is supersed by <vcpupin>. If neither <vcpupin>
   nor "cpuset" of <vcpu> is specified, the vcpu will be pinned
   to all available pCPUs.

4) If neither <emulatorpin> nor "cpuset" of <vcpu> is specified,
   the domain process (emulator threads in the context) will be
   pinned to all available pCPUs.

5) If "placement" of <vcpu> is "auto", <emulatorpin> is not allowed.

6) hotplugged vcpus will also inherit "cpuset" of <vcpu>

Codes changes according to above document changes:

1) Inherit def->cpumask for each vcpu which doesn't have <vcpupin>
   specified, during parsing.

2) ping the vcpu which doesn't have <vcpupin> specified to def->cpumask
   either by cgroup for sched_setaffinity(2), which is actually done
   by 1).

3) Error out if "placement" == "auto", and <emulatorpin> is specified.
   Otherwise, <emulatorpin> is honored, and "cpuset" of <cpuset> is
   ignored.

4) Setup cgroup for each hotplugged vcpu, and setup the pinning policy
   by either cgroup or sched_setaffinity(2).

5) Remove cgroup and <vcpupin> for each hot unplugged vcpu.

Patches are following (6 in total except this patch)

893647671b locking: Implement lock failure action in sanlock driver
While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual
implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the
future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we
need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just
pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and
everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will
also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use
appropriate reasons when changing domain states.

The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling
appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs
to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd).

code by renaming life cycle actions to event actions so that it can be
reused later for non-lifecycle events.

5090c576e3 Add a ./run script for running programs from the local directory.
With this script you can run libvirt programs without needing to
install them first.  You just have to do for example:

  ./run ./tools/virsh [args ...]

If you are already in the tools/ subdirectory, then the following
command will also work:

  ../run ./virsh [...]

You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this:

  ./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./program

or under gdb:

  ./run gdb --args ./program

This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt):

  sudo ./run ./tools/virsh list --all

Derived from libguestfs and simplified.  The ./run script in
libguestfs is much more sophisticated:

ef1e024df8 blockjob: add virDomainBlockCommit
A block commit moves data in the opposite direction of block pull.
Block pull reduces the chain length by dropping backing files after
data has been pulled into the top overlay, and is always safe; block
commit reduces the chain length by dropping overlays after data has
been committed into the backing file, and any files that depended
on base but not on top are invalidated at any point where they have
unallocated data that is now pointing to changed contents in base.
Both directions are useful, however: a qcow2 layer that is more than
50% allocated will typically be faster with a pull operation, while
a qcow2 layer with less than 50% allocation will be faster as a
commit operation.  Committing across multiple layers can be more
efficient than repeatedly committing one layer at a time, but
requires extra support from the hypervisor.

This API matches Jeff Cody's proposed qemu command 'block-commit':
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02226.html

Jeff's command is still in the works for qemu 1.3, and may gain
further enhancements, such as the ability to control on-error
handling (it will be comparable to the error handling Paolo is
adding to 'drive-mirror', so a similar solution will be needed
when I finally propose virDomainBlockCopy with more functionality
than the basics supported by virDomainBlockRebase).  However, even
without qemu support, this API will be useful for _offline_ block
commits, by wrapping qemu-img calls and turning them into a block
job, so this API is worth committing now.

For some examples of how this will be implemented, all starting
with the chain: base <- snap1 <- snap2 <- active

+ These are equivalent:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "active", 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", NULL, 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", "active", 0, 0)
but cannot be implemented for online qemu with round 1 of
Jeff's patches; and for offline images, it would require
three back-to-back qemu-img invocations unless qemu-img
is patched to allow more efficient multi-layer commits;
the end result would be 'base' as the active disk with
contents from all three other files, where 'snap1' and
'snap2' are invalid right away, and 'active' is invalid
once any further changes to 'base' are made.

+ These are equivalent:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, _SHALLOW)
they cannot be implemented for online qemu, but for offline,
it is a matter of 'qemu-img commit active', so that 'snap2'
is now the active disk with contents formerly in 'active'.

+ Similarly:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, _DELETE)
for an offline domain will merge 'active' into 'snap2', then
delete 'active' to avoid leaving a potentially invalid file
around.

+ This version:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "snap2", 0, _SHALLOW)
can be implemented online with 'block-commit' passing a base of
snap1 and a top of snap2; and can be implemented offline by
'qemu-img commit snap2' followed by 'qemu-img rebase -u
-b snap1 active'
