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.

(cherry picked from commit 922b7fda77)
Conflicts:
src/access/viraccessdriverpolkit.c
Resolution:
Dropped file that does not exist in this branch.
Building with gnutls 3.2.0 (such as shipped with current cygwin) fails
with:
rpc/virnettlscontext.c: In function 'virNetTLSSessionGetKeySize':
rpc/virnettlscontext.c:1358:5: error: implicit declaration of function 'gnutls_cipher_get_key_size' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
Yeah, it's stupid that gnutls broke API by moving their declaration
into a new header without including that header from the old one,
but it's easy enough to work around, all without breaking on gnutls
1.4.1 (hello RHEL 5) that lacked the new header.
* configure.ac (gnutls): Check for <gnutls/crypto.h>.
* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c (includes): Include additional header.

GNU programs the license is usually in a file called COPYING.
If you are releasing your program under the LGPL, you should also

Clang does not like the -export-dynamic flag. The compiler does
not need it in the first place, so we can avoid the problem by
only setting it for the linker

When combining old gcc (4.2.1) and new gcrypt (1.5.2), such as
when using the Ports repository on FreeBSD, the build fails with:
CC libvirt_driver_la-libvirt.lo
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
In file included from libvirt.c:58:
/usr/local/include/gcrypt.h:1336: warning: 'gcry_ac_io_mode_t' is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
Relevant part of gcrypt.h:
1333 typedef struct gcry_ac_io
1334 {
1335 /* This is an INTERNAL structure, do NOT use manually. */
1336 gcry_ac_io_mode_t mode _GCRY_ATTR_INTERNAL;
1337 gcry_ac_io_type_t type _GCRY_ATTR_INTERNAL;
1338 union
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
shortcoming of FreeBSD's use of an older compiler).

ioctl.
- adjust virNetDevExists() to check for ENXIO error because
FreeBSD throws it when device doesn't exist

FreeBSD (and maybe other BSDs) have different member
names in struct ifreq when compared to Linux, such as:
- uses ifr_data instead of ifr_newname for setting
interface names
- uses ifr_index instead of ifr_ifindex for interface
index
Also, add a check for SIOCGIFHWADDR for virNetDevValidateConfig().
Use AF_LOCAL if AF_PACKET is not available.

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.

By passing the flags -z relro -z now to the linker, we can force
it to resolve all library symbols at startup, instead of on-demand.
This allows it to then make the global offset table (GOT) read-only,
which makes some security attacks harder.

PIE (position independent executable) adds security to executables
by composing them entirely of position-independent code (PIC. The
.so libraries already build with -fPIC. This adds -fPIE which is
the equivalent to -fPIC, but for executables. This for allows Exec
Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers
from knowing where existing executable code is during a security
attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the
executable code in the binary, such as return-to-libc attacks.

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.
Commit c308a9ae was incomplete; it resolved the configure failure,
but not a later build failure.

Some places missed the conversion from LIBCURL_{CFLAGS,LIBS} to

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.

This converts the libssh2 configure check to use LIBVIRT_CHECK_PKG.
Previously it would check version 1.0 and 1.3, but this simplifies
things to just require version 1.3
