Using one Makefile per example subdirectory essentially serializes 'make'
calls. Convert to one example/Makefile that builds and distributes
all the subdir files. This reduces example/ rebuild time from about 5.8
seconds to 1.5 seconds on my machine.
One slight difference is that we no longer ship Makefile.am with the
examples in the rpm. This was virtually useless anyways since the Makefile
was very specific to libvirt infrastructure, so wasn't generically
reusable anyways.
Tested with 'make distcheck' and 'make rpm'
This function can be used to retrieve the current locked memory
limit for a process, so that the setting can be later restored.
Add a configure check for getrlimit(), which we now use.

As it turned out, we need to share some enums and declarations between
libvirt.h and libvirt-admin.h, but since our policy forbids direct includes of
libvirt*.h, there has to be some header exempt from this rule. This patch moves
the relevant part of code from libvirt.h.in to libvirt-common.h.in. Moreover,
since there is no need to have libvirt.h generated anymore, introduce a new
header libvirt.h which was previosly ignored from git and make the common
header ignored and generated instead.

There's pkg-config file added and spec-file adjusted as well.
Since the library should be "minimalistic" and not depend on any other

could've been put to it's own sub-libraries that would be LIBADD'd to
libvirt_util, libvirt_net_rpc and libvirt_setuid_rpc_client to minimize

Newer binutils 'ar' has added an option 'D' for deterministic
builds, and at least on rawhide, this option is enabled by default.
But it conflicts with the 'u' optimization where the linker only
modifies libraries based on file timestamps, but can result in
different library ordering based on which files were touched last.
Thus, it results in some noisy compilation, for every CCLD line:
CCLD libvirt_driver_qemu_impl.la
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
Upstream automake has decided that defaulting ARFLAGS to 'cru' is
no longer beneficial, and that switching the default to 'cr' will
both silence the noise and not penalize modern build systems.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2015-06/msg00000.html
But rather than wait for newer automake to propagate to all systems
that already have newer binutils, we might as well just use the new
default ourselves, even on older platforms.

Introduce a parser/formatter for the xl config format. Since the
deprecation of xm/xend, the VM config file format has diverged as
new features are added to libxl. This patch adds support for parsing
and formating the xl config format. It supports the existing xm config
format, plus adds support for spice graphics and xl disk config syntax.
Disk config is specified a bit differently in xl as compared to xm. In
xl, disk config consists of comma-separated positional parameters and
keyword/value pairs separated by commas. Positional parameters are
specified as follows
target, format, vdev, access
Supported keys for key=value options are
devtype, backendtype
The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form. For
example the following xl disk config are equivalent
/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
/dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume
See $xen_sources/docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt for more details.
xl disk config is parsed with the help of xlu_disk_parse() from
libxlutil, libxl's utility library. Although the library exists
in all Xen versions supported by the libxl virt driver, only
recently has the corresponding header file been included. A check
for the header is done in configure.ac. If not found, xlu_disk_parse()
is declared externally.

Introduce a Xen xl parser
This parser allows for users to convert the new xl disk format and
spice graphics config to libvirt xml format and vice versa. Regarding
the spice graphics config, the code is pretty much straight forward.
For the disk {formating, parsing}, this parser takes care of the new
xl format which include positional parameters and key/value parameters.
In xl format disk config a <diskspec> consists of parameters separated by
commas. If the parameters do not contain an '=' they are automatically
assigned to certain options following the order below
target, format, vdev, access
The above are the only mandatory parameters in the <diskspec> but there
are many more disk config options. These options can be specified as
key=value pairs. This takes care of the rest of the options such as
devtype, backend, backendtype, script, direct-io-safe,
The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form
for example
/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
/dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume
are interpleted to one config.
In xm format, the above diskspec would be written as
phy:/dev/vg/guest-volume,hda,w
The disk parser is based on the same parser used successfully by
the Xen project for several years now. Ian Jackson authored the
scanner, which is used by this commit with mimimal changes. Only
the PREFIX option is changed, to produce function and file names
more consistent with libvirt's convention.

Implement ZFS storage backend driver. Currently supported
only on FreeBSD because of ZFS limitations on Linux.
Features supported:
- pool-start, pool-stop
- pool-info
- vol-list
- vol-create / vol-delete
Pool definition looks like that:
<pool type='zfs'>
<name>myzfspool</name>
<source>
<name>actualpoolname</name>
</source>
</pool>
The 'actualpoolname' value is a name of the pool on the system,
such as shown by 'zpool list' command. Target makes no sense
here because volumes path is always /dev/zvol/$poolname/$volname.
User has to create a pool on his own, this driver doesn't
support pool creation currently.
A volume could be used with Qemu by adding an entry like this:
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source pool='myzfspool' volume='vol5'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
There's this question on the list that is asked over and over again.
How do I get {cpu, memory, ...} usage in percentage? Or its modified
version: How do I plot nice graphs like virt-manager does?
It would be nice if we have an example to inspire people. And that's
what domtop should do. Yes, it could be written in different ways, but
I've chosen this one as I think it show explicitly what users need to
implement in order to imitate virt-manager's graphing.
Note: The usage is displayed from host perspective. That is, how much
host CPUs the domain is using. But it should be fairly simple to
switch do just guest CPU usage if needed.

configure check for character devices lock path calls
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED for VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH even if
$with_chrdev_lock_files = "no".
So the locking code in conf/virchrdev.c:
#ifdef VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH
is compiled in even if it shouldn't, because VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH
is defined as "no", so it tries to create lock files with strange
lock path like 'no/LCK..'.
Fix that by calling AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED only if $with_chrdev_lock_files
is not 'no'.
Systemd does not forget about the cases, where client service needs to
wait for daemon service to initialize and start accepting new clients.
Setting a dependency in client is not enough as systemd doesn't know
when the daemon has initialized itself and started accepting new
clients. However, it offers a mechanism to solve this. The daemon needs
to call a special systemd function by which the daemon tells "I'm ready
to accept new clients". This is exactly what we need with
libvirtd-guests (client) and libvirtd (daemon). So now, with this
change, libvirt-guests.service is invoked not any sooner than
libvirtd.service calls the systemd notify function.

The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is (n * (n + 1) ) / 2. This gets very large, very
quickly.
This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.
The simple usage is
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
...
29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france ... OK
Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
...
the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.
If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem
$ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use
$ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.
$ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime ... OK

In order to make a client-only build successful on RHEL4 (yes, you
read that correctly!), commit 3ed2e54 modified src/util/virnetdev.c so
that the functional version of virNetDevGetVLanID() was only compiled
if GET_VLAN_VID_CMD was defined. However, it is *never* defined, but
is only an enum value, so the proper version was no longer compiled
even on platforms that support it. This resulted in the vlan tag not
being properly set for guest traffic on VEPA mode guest macvtap
interfaces that were bound to a vlan interface (that's the only place
that libvirt currently uses virNetDevGetVLanID)
Since there is no way to compile conditionally based on the presence
of an enum value, this patch modifies configure.ac to check for said
enum value with AC_CHECK_DECLS(), which #defines
HAVE_DECL_GET_VLAN_VID_CMD to 1 if it's successful compiling a test
program that uses GET_VLAN_VID_CMD (and still #defines it, but to 0,
if it's not successful). We can then make the compilation of
virNetDevGetVLanID() conditional on the value of
HAVE_DECL_GET_VLAN_VID_CMD.

On my Fedora 20 box with mingw cross-compiler, the build failed with:
../../src/rpc/virnetclient.c: In function 'virNetClientSetTLSSession':
../../src/rpc/virnetclient.c:745:14: error: unused variable 'oldmask' [-Werror=unused-variable]

I traced it to the fact that mingw64-winpthreads installs a header
that does #define pthread_sigmask(...) 0, which means any argument
only ever passed to pthread_sigmask is reported as unused. This
patch works around the compilation failure, with behavior no worse
than what mingw already gives us regarding the function being a
no-op.

This patch resolves a compile issue caused by the
removal of examples/domsuspend code in commit
5eb4b04211. This issue
is only seen in a fresh checkout, but causes the build
and configure to fail.
We support gluster volumes in domain XML, so we also ought to
support them as a storage pool. Besides, a future patch will
want to take advantage of libgfapi to handle the case of a
gluster device holding qcow2 rather than raw storage, and for
that to work, we need a storage backend that can read gluster
storage volume contents. This sets up the framework.
Note that the new pool is named 'gluster' to match a
<disk type='network'><source protocol='gluster'> image source
already supported in a <domain>; it does NOT match the
<pool type='netfs'><source><target type='glusterfs'>,
since that uses a FUSE mount to a local file name rather than
a network name.
This and subsequent patches have been tested against glusterfs
3.4.1 (available on Fedora 19); there are likely bugs in older
versions that may prevent decent use of gfapi, so this patch
enforces the minimum version tested. A future patch may lower
the minimum. On the other hand, I hit at least two bugs in
3.4.1 that will be fixed in 3.5/3.4.2, where it might be worth
raising the minimum: glfs_readdir is nicer to use than
glfs_readdir_r [1], and glfs_fini should only return failure on
an actual failure [2].

The QEMU backend was disabled on Mac OS X without a reason in the code
and due to refactors its difficult to understand when/why it was
disabled. With QEMU being supported on Mac OS X there is no reason to
disable QEMU on this platform.
The libvirt.so library has far too many library deps to allow
linking against it from setuid programs. Those libraries can
do stuff in __attribute__((constructor) functions which is
not setuid safe.
The virt-login-shell needs to link directly against individual
files that it uses, with all library deps turned off except
for libxml2 and libselinux.
Create a libvirt-setuid-rpc-client.la library which is linked
to by virt-login-shell. A config-post.h file allows this library
to disable all external deps except libselinux and libxml2.

The automake manual recommends against the use of disabling
maintainer mode by default:
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#maintainer_002dmode
because when it is disabled, the user gets no indication if they
touch a file that would normally require a rebuild. Automake
1.11 changed things so that AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([enable]) will set
the mode to enabled by default; but RHEL 5 still uses automake 1.9,
where AM_MAINTAINER_MODE did not recognize an argument, and
therefore disables maintainer mode by default. Having the default
be different according to which version of automake built the
project is annoying, and I _have_ been bitten on RHEL 5 rebuilds
where the default disabled mode led to silently incorrect builds.
The automake manual admits that being able to disable maintainer
mode still makes sense for projects that still store generated
files from the autotools in version control; but we have dropped
that for several years now. As such, it's finally time to just
ditch the whole idea of maintainer mode, and unconditionally
rebuild autotools files if a dependency changes, without offering
a configure option to disable that mode.
* configure.ac (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Drop.

I tried to test ./configure --without-lxc --without-remote.
First, the build failed with some odd errors, such as an
inability to build xen, or link failures for virNetTLSInit.
But when you think about it, once there is no remote code,
all of libvirtd is useless, any stateful driver that depends
on libvirtd is also not worth compiling, and any libraries
used only by RPC code are not needed. So I patched
configure.ac to make for some saner defaults when an
explicit disable is attempted. Similarly, since we have
migrated virnetdevbridge into generic code, the workaround
for Linux kernel stupidity must not depend on stateful
drivers being in use.
Then there's 'make check' that needs segregation.
Wow - quite a bit of cleanup to make --without-remote useful :)
* configure.ac: Let --without-remote toggle defaults on stateful
drivers and other libraries. Pick up Linux kernel workarounds
even when qemu and lxc are not being compiled.

Fixed the safezero call for allocating the rest of the file after cloning
an existing volume; it used to always use a zero offset, causing it to
only allocate the beginning of the file.
Also modified file creation to try to use fallocate(2) to pre-allocate
disk space before copying any data to make sure it fails early on if disk
is full and makes sure we can skip zero blocks when copying file contents.
If fallocate isn't available we will zero out the rest of the file after
cloning and only use sparse cloning if client requested a lower allocation
than the input volume's capacity.

With the existing pkcheck (pid, start time) tuple for identifying
the process, there is a race condition, where a process can make
a libvirt RPC call and in another thread exec a setuid application,
causing it to change to effective UID 0. This in turn causes polkit
to do its permission check based on the wrong UID.
To address this, libvirt must get the UID the caller had at time
of connect() (from SO_PEERCRED) and pass a (pid, start time, uid)
triple to the pkcheck program.
This fix requires that libvirt is re-built against a version of
polkit that has the fix for its CVE-2013-4288, so that libvirt
can see 'pkg-config --variable pkcheck_supports_uid polkit-gobject-1'

Commits 9298bfb and f6c2951 both tried to make it possible to
select the correct libnl (1 vs. 3) according to what netcf
used, when both libraries are installed. This works to avoid
libnl-3 when netcf used libnl-1. But on the converse side, if
only libnl-1 development code is installed, while netcf uses
libnl-3, then configure happily uses libnl-1 anyways, leading
to a test failure:
$ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 ./virdrivermoduletest
TEST: virdrivermoduletest
1) Test driver "network" ... OK
2) Test driver "storage" ... OK

6) Test driver "interface"
... lt-virdrivermoduletest: route/tc.c:973: rtnl_tc_register: Assertion

Aborted
It's much nicer to prevent this at configure time, by requiring that
if we know what netcf used, then we want the same libnl version. As
before, this can be bypassed by someone who knows what they are doing
by setting LIBNL_CFLAGS (perhaps useful to the rare person where the
build box has a different version of netcf than the installation box).

don't let configure succeed with libnl-1.

The gnulib testsuite is relatively stable - the only times it is
likely to have a test change from pass to fail is on a gnulib
submodule update or a major system change (such as moving from
Fedora 18 to 19, or other large change to libc). While it is an
important test for end users on arbitrary machines (to make sure
that the portability glue works for their machine), it mostly
wastes time for development testing (as most developers aren't
making any of the major changes that would cause gnulib tests
to alter behavior). Thus, it pays to make the tests optional
at configure time, defaulting to off for development, on for
tarballs, with autobuilders requesting it to be on. It also
helps to allow a make-time override, via VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=[01]
(much the way automake sets up V=[01] for overriding the configure
time default of how verbose to be).
Automake has some pretty hard-coded magic with regards to the
TESTS variable; I had quite a job figuring out how to keep
'make distcheck' passing regardless of the configure option
setting in use, while still disabling the tests at runtime
when I did not configure them on and did not use the override
variable. Thankfully, we require GNU make, which lets me

Newer gnutls uses nettle, rather than gcrypt, which is a lot nicer
regarding initialization. Yet we were unconditionally initializing
gcrypt even when gnutls wouldn't be using it, and having two crypto
libraries linked into libvirt.so is pointless, but mostly harmless
(it doesn't crash, but does interfere with certification efforts).
There are three distinct version ranges to worry about when
determining which crypto lib gnutls uses, per these gnutls mails:

link_addr detection in configure always reports that
link_addr is missing because it uses link_addr(NULL, NULL) in
AC_LINK_IFELSE check with limited set of headers that doesn't
define NULL.
Fix by replacing 'NULL' with just '0'.
Some versions of kFreeBSD (like 9.0) declare link_addr in a header
but lack an implementation. This makes ./configure pass but breaks
compilation later with a
undefined reference to `link_addr'
Althought that's a bug in the OS header we can detect it easily by also
trying to link.

When combining old gcc (4.2.1) and new gcrypt (1.5.2), such as

The sad part is that we aren't even using the deprecated symbols - their
mere inclusion in the installed header is provoking the problems. It
looks like newer gcc is a bit more tolerant (that is, this is a

This patch adds two sets of functions:
1) lower level virProcessSet*() functions that will immediately set
the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. RLIMIT_NPROC, or RLIMIT_NOFILE of either the
current process (using setrlimit()) or any other process (using
prlimit()). "current process" is indicated by passing a 0 for pid.
2) functions for virCommand* that will setup a virCommand object to
set those limits at a later time just after it has forked a new
process, but before it execs the new program.
configure.ac has prlimit and setrlimit added to the list of functions
to check for, and the low level functions log an "unsupported" error)
on platforms that don't support those functions.
Add a virCgroupIsolateMount method which looks at where the
current process is place in the cgroups (eg /system/demo.lxc.libvirt)
and then remounts the cgroups such that this sub-directory
becomes the root directory from the current process' POV.

Every source file is currently built twice by libtool, once for
the shared library and once for the static library. Static libs
are not commonly packaged by distros and slow down compilation
time by more than 50% compared to a shared-only build time.
Time for 'make -j 4':
shared only: 2 mins 9 secs
shared + static: 3 mins 26 secs
Time for non-parallel make
shared only: 3 mins 32 secs
shared + static: 5 mins 41 secs
Those few people who really want them, can pass --enable-static
to configure
Disabling them by default requires use of LT_INIT, but for
compat with RHEL5 we can't rely on that. So we conditionally
use LT_INIT, but fallback to AM_PROG_LIBTOOL if not present.

This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

There are many aspects of the guest XML which result in the
SELinux driver applying file labelling. With the increasing
configuration options it is desirable to test this behaviour.
It is not possible to assume that the test suite has the
ability to set SELinux labels. Most filesystems though will
support extended attributes. Thus for the purpose of testing,
it is possible to extend the existing LD_PRELOAD hack to
override setfilecon() and getfilecon() to simply use the
'user.libvirt.selinux' attribute for the sake of testing.

I ran 'make dist' in the directory left over from ./autobuild.sh
(which was configured for a mingw cross build); the resulting
tarball had more files than 'make dist' on a normal Linux build.
I traced it to the fact that we were distributing a generated
file, but only when configure said the end user had to generate
the file in the first place. In the process, I noticed that
we had some difference in symbol file names; I added a comment
explaining why the difference exists (after first trying to
normalize the names and hitting VPATH build failures).
* configure.ac (LIBVIRT_QEMU_SYMBOL_FILE): Add some comments.
* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): No need to ship a generated file;

The functionality provided in virchrdev.c (previously virconsole.c) is

"character device" or "device path".
A recent build failure made me realize that we could usefully add
a bit more information to configure output, for aid in analysis of
failed builds. Pulling in the autobuild module merely adds these
four lines to configure output:

configure: autobuild hostname... myhost
configure: autobuild timestamp... 20130102T233543Z

This patch converts the Xen libxl driver to support only Xen >= 4.2.
Support for Xen 4.1 libxl is dropped since that version of libxl is

libxl. Additionally, the default toolstack in Xen 4.1 is still xend,
for which libvirt has a stable, functional driver.
It may take some time for sanlock to add a lockspace. And if user
restart libvirtd service meanwhile, the fresh daemon can fail adding
the same lockspace with EINPROGRESS. Recent sanlock has

changes state. If we are building against older sanlock we should
retry a few times before claiming an error. This issue can be easily

When using --without-$name --without-secdriver-$name with $name being
selinux or apparmor, configure will fail saying that AppArmor/SELinux
development package must be installed.
This is caused by a small bug in --with-secdriver-$name handling in
configure.ac which treats --without-secdriver-$name when $name as if the
user had requested to enable $name when $name couldn't be detected on
the system.
This commit also makes sure the detection checks for disabled
secdrivers do not needlessly get run, especially as this could
cause an error as well in --with-$name --without-secdriver-$name
situations.
libvirt started using sanlock_killpath to implement on_lockfailure
action. Since sanlock_killpath was introduced in sanlock 2.4, libvirt
fails to build with older sanlock.
We are currently able to work only with non-translated SELinux
contexts, but we are using functions that work with translated
contexts throughout the code. This patch swaps all SELinux context
translation relative calls with their raw sisters to avoid parsing
problems.
The problems can be experienced with mcstrans for example. The
difference is that if you have translations enabled (yum install
mcstrans; service mcstrans start), fgetfilecon_raw() will get you
something like 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0', whereas
fgetfilecon() will return 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemLow'
that we cannot parse.
I was trying to confirm that the _raw variants were here since the dawn of
time, but the only thing I see now is that it was imported together in
the upstream repo [1] from svn, so before 2008.

Commit f6430390 broke builds on RHEL 5, where glibc (2.5) is too
old to support mkostemp (2.7) or htole64 (2.9). While gnulib
has mkostemp, it still lacks htole64; and it's not worth dragging
in replacements on systems where journald is unlikely to exist
in the first place, so we just use an extra configure-time check
as our witness of whether to attempt compiling the code.
* src/util/logging.c (virLogParseOutputs): Don't attempt to
compile journald on older glibc.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check for htole64.
Currently if you build on a machine that does not support SELinux we end up
with the default mount point being /selinux, since this is moved to
/sys/fs/selinux, we should start defaulting there.
I believe this is causing a bug in libvirt-lxc when /selinux does not exists,
even though /sys/fs/selinux exists.
In Xen 4.2, xs.h is deprecated in favor of xenstore.h. xs.h now
contains
#warning xs.h is deprecated use xenstore.h instead
#include <xenstore.h>

Introduce a configure-time check for xenstore.h and if found,
use it instead of xs.h.
Commit 9298bfbcb introduced code to detect if netcf is linked with
libnl1, and to prefer libnl1 over libnl3 when this is the case.
This behaviour can be disabled by setting LIBNL_CFLAGS to any value,
including the empty string.
However, configure.ac sets LIBNL_CFLAGS to "" before attempting
libnl detection, so the libnl1 detection code is always disabled.
This caused issues on my f17 system where netcf is linked with libnl1
but libvirt got built with libnl3.
This commit removes the setting of the LIBNL_* variables to "" as
this does not appear to be needed. After this change, libnl1 is
used when building libvirt on my f17 system.
Based exclusively on work by Eric Blake in a patch posted with the same
subject. However some modifications related to comments and my plans to
add another backend.
Added WITH_INTERFACE as the only automake variable deciding whether to
build the driver and using WITH_NETCF to identify that we're wanting to
use the netcf library as the backend.
* configure.ac: Added with_interface
* src/interface/netcf_driver.c: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_backend_netcf.c: ..to this to match storage.
* src/interface/netcf_driver.h: Renamed..

* daemon/Makefile.am: Respect WITH_INTERFACE and WITH_NETCF.
* libvirt.spec.in: Add RPM support for --with-interface
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:

Commit 9298bfb changed configure to split the libnl into two
separate pkg config checks instead of nesting the second check
on the failure path of the first. But the default pkg config
behavior is to abort configure if a check fails. Since we have
a second check lined up, we need an explicit failure case that
does not abort if the first check fails.
Meanwhile, commit 51b708c is reverted. It did not fix any
behavior, and in fact, introduced a regression to the fallback
case when the user explicitly sets $LIBNL_CFLAGS.
* configure.ac: Don't abort if libnl-3 is not found.
Recent spec file changes ensure that in distro situations, netcf
and libvirt will link against the same libnl in order to avoid
dumping core. But for every-day development, if you use F17 and
have the libnl3-devel headers available, libvirt was blindly
linking against libnl3 even though F17 netcf still links against
libnl1, making testing a self-built binary on F17 impossible.
By making configure a little bit smarter, we can avoid this
situation - we merely skip the probe of libnl-3 if we can prove
that netcf is still using libnl-1. I intentionally wrote the
test so that we still favor libnl-3 if netcf is not installed or
if we couldn't use ldd to determine things.
Defaults being what they are, someone will invariably complain
that our smarts were wrong. Never fear - in that case, just run
./configure LIBNL_CFLAGS=..., where the fact that you set
LIBNL_CFLAGS (even to the empty string) will go back to probing
for libnl-3, regardless of netcf's choice.
* configure.ac (LIBNL): Don't probe libnl3 if netcf doesn't use it.
FreeBSD and OpenBSD have a <net/if.h> that is not self-contained;
and mingw lacks the header altogether. But gnulib has just taken
care of that for us, so we might as well simplify our code. In
the process, I got a syntax-check failure if we don't also take
the gnulib execinfo module.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for execinfo and net_if.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add execinfo and net_if modules.
* configure.ac: Let gnulib check for headers. Simplify check for
'struct ifreq', while also including enough prereq headers.
* src/internal.h (IF_NAMESIZE): Drop, now that gnulib guarantees it.
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.h: Use correct header for

* src/util/virnetdevtap.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/util/logging.c (includes): Assume <execinfo.h> exists.
(virLogStackTraceToFd): Handle gnulib's fallback implementation.
On OpenBSD, clock_gettime() exists in libc rather than librt, and
blindly linking with -lrt made the build fail. Gnulib already
did the work for determining which libraries to use, so we should
reuse that work rather than doing it ourselves.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Pull in clock-time.
* configure.ac (RT_LIBS): Drop.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_util_la_LIBADD): Use gnulib variable
instead.
* src/util/virtime.c (includes): Simplify.
We already skip out on building the LXC under RHEL 5, because the
kernel is too old (commits 4c18acf, 2dee896); but commit 9612e4b
moved some LXC-only code into common files, resulting in this
build failure:
util/virfile.c: In function 'virFileLoopDeviceAssociate':
util/virfile.c:580: error: 'LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR' undeclared (first use in this function)
Unfortunately, the kernel folks only made it an enum, rather than
also a #define, so we have to modify configure.ac to record when
it is usable.
* configure.ac (with_lxc): Mark when LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR was found.
* src/util/virfile.c (virFileLoopDeviceAssociate): Avoid
compilation when kernel is too old.
* configure.ac, spec file: firewalld defaults to enabled if dbus is
available, otherwise is disabled. If --with_firewalld is explicitly
requested and dbus is not available, configure will fail.
* bridge_driver: add dbus filters to get the FirewallD1.Reloaded
signal and DBus.NameOwnerChanged on org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.
When these are encountered, reload all the iptables reuls of all
libvirt's virtual networks (similar to what happens when libvirtd is
restarted).
* iptables, ebtables: use firewall-cmd's direct passthrough interface
when available, otherwise use iptables and ebtables commands. This
decision is made once the first time libvirt calls
iptables/ebtables, and that decision is maintained for the life of
libvirtd.
* Note that the nwfilter part of this patch was separated out into
another patch by Stefan in V2, so that needs to be revised and
re-reviewed as well.
================
All the configure.ac and specfile changes are unchanged from Thomas'
V3.
V3 re-ran "firewall-cmd --state" every time a new rule was added,
which was extremely inefficient. V4 uses VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT to set
up a one-time initialization function.
The VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(x) macro references a static function called
vir(Ip|Eb)OnceInit(), which will then be called the first time that
the static function vir(Ip|Eb)TablesInitialize() is called (that
function is defined for you by the macro). This is
thread-safe, so there is no chance of any race.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I've left the VIR_DEBUG messages in these two init
functions (one for iptables, on for ebtables) as VIR_WARN so that I
don't have to turn on all the other debug message just to see
these. Even if this patch doesn't need any other modification, those
messages need to be changed to VIR_DEBUG before pushing.
This one-time initialization works well. However, I've encountered
problems with testing:
1) Whenever I have enabled the firewalld service, *all* attempts to
call firewall-cmd from within libvirtd end with firewall-cmd hanging
internally somewhere. This is *not* the case if firewall-cmd returns
non-0 in response to "firewall-cmd --state" (i.e. *that* command runs
and returns to libvirt successfully.)
2) If I start libvirtd while firewalld is stopped, then start
firewalld later, this triggers libvirtd to reload its iptables rules,
however it also spits out a *ton* of complaints about deletion failing
(I suppose because firewalld has nuked all of libvirt's rules). I
guess we need to suppress those messages (which is a more annoying
problem to fix than you might think, but that's another story).
3) I noticed a few times during this long line of errors that
firewalld made a complaint about "Resource Temporarily
unavailable. Having libvirtd access iptables commands directly at the
same time as firewalld is doing so is apparently problematic.
4) In general, I'm concerned about the "set it once and never change
it" method - if firewalld is disabled at libvirtd startup, causing
libvirtd to always use iptables/ebtables directly, this won't cause
*terrible* problems, but if libvirtd decides to use firewall-cmd and
firewalld is later disabled, libvirtd will not be able to recover.
This patch adds helper functions that enable us to use libssh2 in
conjunction with libvirt's virNetSockets for ssh transport instead of
spawning "ssh" client process.
This implemetation supports tunneled plaintext, keyboard-interactive,
private key, ssh agent based and null authentication. Libvirt's Auth
callback is used for interaction with the user. (Keyboard interactive
authentication, adding of host keys, private key passphrases). This
enables seamless integration into the application using libvirt. No
helpers as "ssh-askpass" are needed.
Reading and writing of OpenSSH style "known_hosts" files is supported.
Communication is done using SSH exec channel, where the user may specify
arbitrary command to be executed on the remote side and reads and writes
to/from stdin/out are sent through the ssh channel. Usage of stderr is
not (yet) supported.
Commit 350583c8 broke development on a RHEL 5 box, where the
ancient Autoconf 2.59 lacks AS_VERSION_STRING. Rather than
backport the complex awk script that newer autoconf uses for
true strverscmp comparisons from the shell, it was easier to
just open-code a shell case statement.
* configure.ac (qemu_version): Open-code a replacement for
AS_VERSION_CHECK.
The way LIBVIRT_VERSION_INFO is calculated has a timebomb that
will cause us to accidentally break soname when we change the
major version number to a non-zero value !
Given CURRENT:REVISION:AGE, libtool will generate
libvirt.so.($CURRENT-$AGE).$AGE.$REVISION
We set CURRENT to be MAJOR+MINOR and AGE to $MINOR, so as
soon as MAJOR changes to non-zero, we get libvirt.so.1
as the soname, eg 1.3.9 would create libvirt.so.1.3.9
Looks natural but is not ABI compatible with libvirt.so.0.x.y
The fix is to set CURRENT to always be exactly the same
as AGE. We want to have the major version reflected in
the so symlinks though. So then we set AGE to MAJOR*1000+MINOR
eg, so 1.3.9 would create libvirt.so.0.1003.9 and libvirt
2.51.3 would create libvirt.so.0.2051.3
libvirt creates invalid commands if wrong locale is selected. For
example with locale that uses comma as a decimal point, JSON commands
created with decimal numbers are invalid because comma separates the
entries in JSON. Fortunately even when decimal point is affected,
thousands grouping is not, because for grouping to be enabled with
*printf, there has to be an apostrophe flag specified (and supported).
This patch adds specific internal function for converting doubles to
strings with C locale.
The recent changes to the testsuite to validate exported symbols
flushed out a case of unconditionally exporting symbols that
were only conditionally compiled under HAVE_AVAHI.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_net_rpc_server_la_SOURCES): Compile
virnetservermdns unconditionally.
* configure.ac (HAVE_AVAHI): Drop unused automake conditional.
* src/rpc/virnetservermdns.c: Add fallbacks when Avahi is not
present.
On Debian/Ubuntu, one of the libraries libvirt (indirectly) links
with exports a symbol named 'base64_encode'. This takes precedence
over GNULIB's base64_encode function during linking. Unfortunately
they of course have different API semantics. To avoid this problem
use a few #defines in config.h to rename the GNULIB provided
function to have a 'libvirt_gl_' prefix
There are a few issues with the current virAtomic APIs
- They require use of a virAtomicInt struct instead of a plain
int type
- Several of the methods do not implement memory barriers
- The methods do not implement compiler re-ordering barriers
- There is no Win32 native impl
The GLib library has a nice LGPLv2+ licensed impl of atomic
ops that works with GCC, Win32, or pthreads.h that addresses
all these problems. The main downside to their code is that
the pthreads impl uses a single global mutex, instead of
a per-variable mutex. Given that it does have a Win32 impl
though, we don't expect anyone to seriously use the pthread.h
impl, so this downside is not significant.
* .gitignore: Ignore test case
* configure.ac: Check for which atomic ops impl to use
* src/Makefile.am: Add viratomic.c
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_dhcpsnoop.c: Switch to new atomic
ops APIs and plain int datatype
* src/util/viratomic.h: inline impls of all atomic ops
for GCC, Win32 and pthreads
* src/util/viratomic.c: Global pthreads mutex for atomic
ops
* tests/viratomictest.c: Test validate to validate safety

This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.
A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.
A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.
In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.
<disk type='network'>
...
<source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
<host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
</source>
</disk>

Commit 6e769eba made it a runtime error if libvirt was compiled
without yajl support but targets a new enough qemu. But enough
users are hitting this on self-compiled libvirt that it is worth
erroring out at compilation time, rather than an obscure failure
when trying to use the built executable.

yajl when qemu version is new enough.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags): Add

Commit 1c275e9a accidentally dropped the storage driver from
libvirtd, because it depended on a C preprocessor macro that
was not defined. Furthermore, if you do './configure
--without-storage-dir --with-storage-disk' or any other combination
where you explicitly build a subset of storage backends excluding
the dir backend, then the build is broken.
Based on analysis by Osier Yang.
* configure.ac (WITH_STORAGE): Define top-level conditional.
* src/Makefile.am (mod_LTLIBRARIES): Build driver even when
storage_dir is disabled.
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Pick up storage driver for any backend, not
just dir.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd_LDADD): Likewise.
Without this fix, a VPATH build (such as used by ./autobuild.sh)
fails with messages like:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/remote/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/build/daemon'

cannot read libvirtd.conf: No such file or directory at ../../build-aux/augeas-gentest.pl line 38.
Since the test files are not part of the tarball, we can generate
them into the build dir, but rather than create a subdirectory
just for the test file, it is easier to test them directly in
libvirt.git/src.
* daemon/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Factor out definition.
(test_libvirtd.aug): Look for correct file.
* src/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Use $(PERL).
(qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug, lxc/test_libvirtd_lxc.aug)
(locking/test_libvirt_sanlock.aug): Rename to avoid subdirectories.

location of built tests.
* configure.ac (PERL): Substitute perl.
Libtool is picky about linking against a module library (aka a .so);
giving lots of warnings like this in the tests directory:
CCLD networkxml2argvtest
*** Warning: Linking the executable networkxml2argvtest against the loadable module
*** libvirt_driver_network.so is not portable!
Fix that by splitting things into a convenience library which can
be used directly by the tests, and making the real .so just wrap
the convenience library.

* tests/Makefile.am (xen_LDADDS, qemu_LDADDS, lxc_LDADDS)
(networkxml2argvtest_LDADD): Link to convenience libraries, not
shared libraries.
The CoTaskMemFree function requires the ole32 DLL to be

* configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_STDC): Stop using this macro.
It provokes warnings from newer automake and is superseded by
autoconf's AC_PROG_CC, which we're already using.

This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.
RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.
It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.
To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.
The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.
For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

Most versions of libselinux do not contain the function
selinux_lxc_contexts_path() that the security driver
recently started using for LXC. We must add a conditional
check for it in configure and then disable the LXC security
driver for builds where libselinux lacks this function.
* configure.ac: Check for selinux_lxc_contexts_path
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Disable LXC security

Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.

Commit 8fe455fd36 tried to work around
a regression introduced in upstream gnulib that requires gettext 0.18
or newer on all projects using bootstrap, by making libvirt require
gettext 0.18. But this fails on RHEL 6.2, which still ships gettext
0.17. Revert that change, and instead, import the latest round of
gnulib updates that fix that problem properly.
If you have already built in the window where libvirt required 0.18,
be aware that incremental updates may run into problems: this is
because 'autopoint --force' will not downgrade m4/po.m4 back to an
older version, but it must be downgraded back to 0.17 levels to work
with this patch. You may either manually remove that file then rerun
bootstrap, or it may prove easier to just clean up all non-git files
to start from a clean slate.
* bootstrap.conf: Revert minimum gettext back to 0.17.
* configure.ac: Likewise.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
Commit c9cd419cab added copying of the
makefile for translation files from gnulib. The makefile from gnulib is
of version 0.18 but the build configuration cretes macros from version
0.17 which breaks the build with message:
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from
gettext version 0.18 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version
0.17
DBus connection. The HAL device code further requires that
the DBus connection is integrated with the event loop and
provides such glue logic itself.
The forthcoming FirewallD integration also requires a
dbus connection with event loop integration. Thus we need
to pull the current event loop glue out of the HAL driver.
Thus we create src/util/virdbus.{c,h} files. This contains
just one method virDBusGetSystemBus() which obtains a handle
to the single shared system bus instance, with event glue
automagically setup.

numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
This patch adds a set of functions used in creating console streams for
domains using PTYs and ensures mutually exclusive access to the PTYs.
If mutually exclusive access is not used, two clients may open the same
console, which results in corruption on both clients as both of them
race to read data from the PTY.
Two approaches are used to ensure this:
1) Internal data structure holding open PTYs.
This is used internally and enables the user to forcibly
terminate another console connection eg. when somebody leaves
the console open on another host.
2) UUCP style lock files:
This uses UUCP lock files according to the FHS
( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLOCKLOCKFILES )
to check if other programs (like minicom) are not using the pty
device of the console.
This feature is disabled by default and may be enabled using
configure parameter
--with-console-lock-files=/path/to/lock/file/directory
or --with-console-lock-files=auto (which tries to infer the
location from OS used (currently only linux).
On usual linux systems, normal users may not write to the
/var/lock directory containing the locks. This poses problems
while in session mode. If the current user has no access to the
lockfile directory, check for presence of the file is still
done, but no lock file is created. This does NOT result in an
error.
The /usr/include/python/pyconfig.h file pollutes the global
namespace with a huge number of HAVE_XXX and WITH_XXX
defines. These change what we detected in our own config.h
In particular if you try to build without DTrace, python's
headers turn it back on with predictable fail.
THe hack to workaround this is to rename WITH_DTRACE to
WITH_DTRACE_PROBES to avoid the namespace clash
AC_CHECK_PROG checks for program in given path. However, if it doesn't
exists, [variable] is set to [value-if-not-found]. We don't want this
to be the empty string in case of 'modprobe' and 'scrub' as we want to
fallback to runtime detection.
Currently, if scrub (used for wiping algorithms) is not present
at compile time, we don't support any other wiping algorithms than
zeroing, even if it was installed later. Switch to runtime detection
instead.
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
Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been
written, therefore we should support other wiping algorithms.
