POSIX states that multi-threaded apps should not use functions
that are not async-signal-safe between fork and exec, yet we
were using getpwuid_r and initgroups. Although rare, it is
possible to hit deadlock in the child, when it tries to grab
a mutex that was already held by another thread in the parent.
I actually hit this deadlock when testing multiple domains
being started in parallel with a command hook, with the following
backtrace in the child:

The solution is to split the work of getpwuid_r/initgroups into the
unsafe portions (getgrouplist, called pre-fork) and safe portions
(setgroups, called post-fork).
* src/util/virutil.h (virSetUIDGID, virSetUIDGIDWithCaps): Adjust
signature.
* src/util/virutil.c (virSetUIDGID): Add parameters.
(virSetUIDGIDWithCaps): Adjust clients.
* src/util/vircommand.c (virExec): Likewise.
* src/util/virfile.c (virFileAccessibleAs, virFileOpenForked)
(virDirCreate): Likewise.
* src/security/security_dac.c (virSecurityDACSetProcessLabel):
Likewise.
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c (lxcContainerSetID): Likewise.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for setgroups, not
initgroups.

We can't use GNULIB's fprintf-posix due to licensing
incompatibilities. We do already have a portable
formatting via virAsprintf() which we got from GNULIB
though. We can use to create a virFilePrintf() function.
But really gnulib could just provide a 'fprintf'
module, that depended on just its 'asprintf' module.

To correctly handle errors from readdir() you must set 'errno'
to zero before invoking it & check its value afterwards to
distinguish error from EOF.

Commit bfe7721d introduced a regression, but only on platforms
like FreeBSD that lack posix_fallocate and where mmap serves as
a nice fallback for safezero.

These all existed before virfile.c was created, and for some reason
weren't moved.
This is mostly straightfoward, although the syntax rule prohibiting
write() had to be changed to have an exception for virfile.c instead
of virutil.c.
This movement pointed out that there is a function called
virBuildPath(), and another almost identical function called
virFileBuildPath(). They really should be a single function, which
I'll take care of as soon as I figure out what the arglist should look
like.
The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
The loop.h on RHEL4 is broken and cannot be imported. We already
detect this in configure as a side-effect of looking for whether
LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR is available. We protected the impl with
HAVE_DECL_LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR, but not the header import

We are requesting for stderr catching for all cases in
virFileWrapperFdNew(). There is no need to have a separate
function just to report an error, esp. when we can do it in
virFileWrapperFdClose().
Commit 34e8f63a32 introduced support for catching errors from
libvirt iohelper. However, at those times there wasn't such fancy
API as virCommandDoAsyncIO(), so everything has to be implemented
on our own. But since we do have the API now, we can use it and
drop our implementation then.
Currently, we use iohelper when saving/restoring a domain.
However, if there's some kind of error (like I/O) it is not
propagated to libvirt. Since it is not qemu who is doing
the actual write() it will not get error. The iohelper does.
Therefore we should check for iohelper errors as it makes
libvirt more user friendly.
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html recommends that
the 'If not, see <url>.' phrase be a separate sentence.

* tests/securityselinuxtest.c: Likewise.

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.
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
of atomic ops.

Per the FSF address could be changed from time to time, and GNU
recommends the following now: (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html)
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with Foobar. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
This patch removes the explicit FSF address, and uses above instead
(of course, with inserting 'Lesser' before 'General').
Except a bunch of files for security driver, all others are changed
automatically, the copyright for securify files are not complete,
that's why to do it manually:
src/security/security_selinux.h
src/security/security_driver.h
src/security/security_selinux.c
src/security/security_apparmor.h
src/security/security_apparmor.c
src/security/security_driver.c
This removes nearly all the per-file error reporting macros
from the code in src/util/. A few custom macros remain for the
case, where the file needs to report errors with a variety of
different codes or parameters

While it is not currently used elsewhere in libvirt, the code
for finding a free loop device & associating a file with it
is not LXC specific. Move it into the viffile.{c,h} file where
potentially shared code is more commonly kept.

When libvirtd forks off a new child, the child then calls virLogReset(),
which ends up closing file descriptors used as log outputs. However, we
recently started logging closed file descriptors, which means we need to
lock logging mutex which was already locked by virLogReset(). We don't
really want to log anything when we are in the process of closing log
outputs.
EBADF errors are logged as warnings as they normally indicate a double
close bug. This patch also provides VIR_MASS_CLOSE helper to be user in
the only case of mass close after fork when EBADF should rather be
ignored.
When libvirtd is started, we create "libvirt/qemu" directories under
hugetlbfs mount point. Only the "qemu" subdirectory is chowned to qemu
user and "libvirt" remains owned by root. If umask was too restrictive
when libvirtd started, qemu user may lose access to "qemu"
subdirectory. Let's explicitly grant search permissions to "libvirt"
directory for all users.
virFileDirectFd was used for accessing files opened with O_DIRECT using
libvirt_iohelper. We will want to use the helper for accessing files
regardless on O_DIRECT and thus virFileDirectFd was generalized and
renamed to virFileWrapperFd.
Add a virFileTouch API which ensures that a file will always
exist, even if zero length
* src/util/virfile.c, src/util/virfile.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Introduce virFileTouch
When saving config files we just overwrite old content of the file. In
case something fails during that process (e.g. disk gets full) we lose
both old and new content. This patch makes the process more robust by
writing the new content into a separate file and only if that succeeds
the original file is atomically replaced with the new one.
Add some simple wrappers around the fcntl() discretionary file
locking capability.
* src/util/util.c, src/util/util.h, src/libvirt_private.syms: Add
virFileLock and virFileUnlock APIs
O_DIRECT has stringent requirements. Rather than make lots of changes
at each site that wants to use O_DIRECT, it is easier to offload
the work through a helper process that mirrors the I/O between a
pipe and the actual direct fd, so that the other end of the pipe
no longer has to worry about constraints.
Plus, if the kernel ever gains better posix_fadvise support, then we
only have to touch a single file to let all callers benefit from a
more efficient way to avoid file system caching.
* src/util/virfile.h (virFileDirectFdFlag, virFileDirectFdNew)
(virFileDirectFdClose, virFileDirectFdFree): New prototypes.
* src/util/virdirect.c: Implement new wrapper object.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virfile.h): Export new symbols.
* cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add to list.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add new translations.
