Historically URIs handled by the remote driver will always connect to
the libvirtd UNIX socket. There will now be one daemon per driver, and
each of these has its own UNIX sockets to connect to.
It will still be possible to run the traditional monolithic libvirtd
though, which will have the original UNIX socket path.
In addition there is a virproxyd daemon that doesn't run any drivers,
but provides proxying for clients accessing libvirt over IP sockets, or
tunnelling to the legacy libvirtd UNIX socket path.
Finally when running inside a daemon, the remote driver must not reject
connections unconditionally. For example, the QEMU driver needs to be
able to connect to the network driver. The remote driver must thus be
willing to handle connections even when inside the daemon, provided no
local driver is registered.
This refactoring enables the remote driver to be able to connect to the
per-driver daemons. The URI parameter "mode" accepts the values "auto",
"direct" and "legacy" to control which daemons are connected to.
The client side libvirt.conf config file also supports a "remote_mode"
setting which is used if the URI parameter is not set.
If neither the config file or URI parameter set a mode, then "auto"
is used, whereby the client looks to see which sockets actually exist
right now.
The remote driver will only ever spawn the per-driver daemons, or
the legacy libvirtd. It won't ever try to spawn virtproxyd, as
that is only there for IP based connectivity, or for access from
legacy remote clients.
If connecting to a remote host over any kind of ssh tunnel, for now we
must assume only the legacy socket exists. A future patch will introduce
a netcat replacement that is tailored for libvirt to make remote
tunnelling easier.
The configure arg '--with-remote-default-mode=legacy|direct' allows
packagers to set a default at build time. If not given, it will default
to legacy mode.
Eventually the default will switch to direct mode. Distros can choose
to do the switch earlier if desired. The main blocker is testing and
suitable SELinux/AppArmor policies.

connect: Drop avahi support
Libvirtd can advertise itself over avahi. The feature is disabled by
default though and in practice I hear of no one actually using it
and frankly I don't think it's all that useful
The 'Open Connection' wizard has a disproportionate amount of code
devoted to this feature, but I don't think it's useful or worth
maintaining, so let's drop it
I've never heard of any other applications having support for using
mDNS to detect libvirtd instances. Though it is theoretically possible
something exists out there, it is clearly going to be a niche use case
in the virt ecosystem as a whole.
By removing avahi integration we can cut down the dependency chain for
the basic libvirtd install and reduce our code maint burden.

With the 7.0 release, readline has finally started shipping
pkg-config support in the form of a readline.pc file.
Unfortunately, most downstreams have yet to catch up with this
change: among Linux distributions in particular, Fedora Rawhide
seems to be the only one installing it at the moment.
Non-Linux operating systems have been faring much better in
this regard: both FreeBSD (through ports) and macOS (through
homebrew) include pkg-config support in their readline package.
This is great news for us, since those are the platforms where
pkg-config is more useful on account of them installing headers
and libraries outside of the respective default search paths.
Our implementation checks whether readline is registered as a
pkg-config package, and if so obtains CFLAGS and LIBS using the
tool; if not, we just keep using the existing logic.

number of variations showing up in the wild:
* qemu:qemu -> Used by CentOS, Fedora, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, RHEL

* libvirt-qemu:libvirt-qemu -> Used by Debian.
* libvirt-qemu:kvm -> Used by Ubuntu.
* nobody:nobody -> Used by Arch Linux.
Based on this information, we can do a better job at integrating with
downstream packages: if the distro-specific user and group already
exist on the system then we use them, and if not (or we're building
on an unknown OS) we just use root:root as we would have before.

In the past (when both libvirt and firewalld used iptables), if either
libvirt's rules *OR* firewalld's rules accepted a packet, it would
be accepted. This was because libvirt and firewalld rules were
processed during the same kernel hook, and a single ACCEPT result
would terminate the rule traversal and cause the packet to be
accepted.
But now firewalld can use nftables for its backend, while libvirt's
firewall rules are still using iptables; iptables rules are still
processed, but at a different time during packet processing
(i.e. during a different hook) than the firewalld nftables rules. The
result is that a packet must be accepted by *BOTH* the libvirt
iptables rules *AND* the firewalld nftable rules in order to be
accepted.
This causes pain because
1) libvirt always adds rules to permit DNS and DHCP (and sometimes
TFTP) from guests to the host network's bridge interface. But
libvirt's bridges are in firewalld's "default" zone (which is usually
the zone called "public"). The public zone allows ssh, but doesn't
allow DNS, DHCP, or TFTP. So even though libvirt's rules allow the
DHCP and DNS traffic, the firewalld rules (now processed during a
different hook) dont, thus guests connected to libvirt's bridges can't
acquire an IP address from DHCP, nor can they make DNS queries to the
DNS server libvirt has setup on the host. (This could be solved by
modifying the default firewalld zone to allow DNS and DHCP, but that
would open *all* interfaces in the default zone to those services,
which is most likely not what the host's admin wants.)
2) Even though libvirt adds iptables rules to allow forwarded traffic
to pass the iptables hook, firewalld's higher level "rich rules" don't
yet have the ability to configure the acceptance of forwarded traffic
(traffic that is going somewhere beyond the host), so any traffic that
needs to be forwarded from guests to the network beyond the host is
rejected during the nftables hook by the default zone's "default
reject" policy (which rejects all traffic in the zone not specifically
allowed by the rules in the zone, whether that traffic is destined to
be forwarded or locally received by the host).
libvirt can't send "direct" nftables rules (firewalld only supports
direct/passthrough rules for iptables), so we can't solve this problem
by just sending explicit nftables rules instead of explicit iptables
rules (which, if it could be done, would place libvirt's rules in the
same hook as firewalld's native rules, and thus eliminate the need for
packets to be accepted by both libvirt's and firewalld's own rules).
However, we can take advantage of a quirk in firewalld zones that have
a default policy of "accept" (meaning any packet that doesn't match a
specific rule in the zone will be *accepted*) - this default accept will
also accept forwarded traffic (not just traffic destined for the host).
Of course we don't want to modify firewalld's default zone in that
way, because that would affect the filtering of traffic coming into
the host from other interfaces using that zone. Instead, we will
create a new zone called "libvirt". The libvirt zone will have a
default policy of accept so that forwarded traffic can pass and list
specific services that will be allowed into the host from guests (DNS,
DHCP, SSH, and TFTP).
But the same default accept policy that fixes forwarded traffic also
causes *all* traffic from guest to host to be accepted. To close this
new hole, the libvirt zone can take advantage of a new feature in
firewalld (currently slated for firewalld-0.7.0) - priorities for rich
rules - to add a low priority rule that rejects all local traffic (but
leaves alone all forwarded traffic).
So, our new zone will start with a list of services that are allowed
(dhcp, dns, tftp, and ssh to start, but configurable via any firewalld
management application, or direct editing of the zone file in
/etc/firewalld/zones/libvirt.xml), followed by a low priority
<reject/> rule (to reject all other traffic from guest to host), and
finally with a default policy of accept (to allow forwarded traffic).
This patch only creates the zonefile for the new zone, and implements
a configure.ac option to selectively enable/disable installation of
the new zone. A separate patch contains the necessary code to actually
place bridge interfaces in the libvirt zone.
Why do we need a configure option to disable installation of the new
libvirt zone? It uses a new firewalld attribute that sets the priority
of a rich rule; this feature first appears in firewalld-0.7.0 (unless
it has been backported to am earlier firewalld by a downstream
maintainer). If the file were installed on a system with firewalld
that didn't support rule priorities, firewalld would log an error
every time it restarted, causing confusion and lots of extra bug
reports.
So we add two new configure.ac switches to avoid polluting the system
logs with this error on systems that don't support rule priorities -
"--with-firewalld-zone" and "--without-firewalld-zone". A package
builder can use these to include/exclude the libvirt zone file in the
installation. If firewalld is enabled (--with-firewalld), the default
is --with-firewalld-zone, but it can be disabled during configure
(using --without-firewalld-zone). Targets that are using a firewalld
version too old to support the rule priority setting in the libvirt
zone file can simply add --without-firewalld-zone to their configure
commandline.
These switches only affect whether or not the libvirt zone file is
*installed* in /usr/lib/firewalld/zones, but have no effect on whether
or not libvirt looks for a zone called libvirt and tries to use it.
NB: firewalld zones can only be added to the permanent config of
firewalld, and won't be loaded/enabled until firewalld is restarted,
so at package install/upgrade time we have to restart firewalld. For
rpm-based distros, this is done in the libvirt.spec file by calling
the %firewalld_restart rpm macro, which is a part of the
firewalld-filesystem package. (For distros that don't use rpm
packages, the command "firewalld-cmd --reload" will have the same
effect).
