virCommand was previously calling virSetUIDGID() to change the uid and
gid of the child process, then separately calling
virSetCapabilities(). This did not work if the desired uid was != 0,
since a setuid to anything other than 0 normally clears all
capabilities bits.
The solution is to use the new virSetUIDGIDWithCaps(), sending it the
uid, gid, and capabilities bits. This will get the new process setup
properly.
Since the static functions virSetCapabilities() and
virClearCapabilities are no longer called, they have been removed.
NOTE: When combined with "filecap $path-to-qemu sys_rawio", this patch
will make CAP_SYS_RAWIO (which is required for passthrough of generic
scsi commands to a guest - see commits e8daeeb, 177db08, 397e6a7, and
74e0349) be retained by qemu when necessary. Apparently that
capability has been broken for non-root qemu ever since it was
originally added.
Normally when a process' uid is changed to non-0, all the capabilities
bits are cleared, even those explicitly set with calls to
capng_update()/capng_apply() made immediately before setuid. And
*after* the process' uid has been changed, it no longer has the
necessary privileges to add capabilities back to the process.
In order to set a non-0 uid while still maintaining any capabilities
bits, it is necessary to either call capng_change_id() (which
unfortunately doesn't currently call initgroups to setup auxiliary
group membership), or to perform the small amount of calisthenics
contained in the new utility function virSetUIDGIDWithCaps().
Another very important difference between the capabilities
setting/clearing in virSetUIDGIDWithCaps() and virCommand's
virSetCapabilities() (which it will replace in the next patch) is that
the new function properly clears the capabilities bounding set, so it
will not be possible for a child process to set any new
capabilities.
A short description of what is done by virSetUIDGIDWithCaps():
1) clear all capabilities then set all those desired by the caller (in
capBits) plus CAP_SETGID, CAP_SETUID, and CAP_SETPCAP (which is needed
to change the capabilities bounding set).
2) call prctl(), telling it that we want to maintain current
capabilities across an upcoming setuid().
3) switch to the new uid/gid
4) again call prctl(), telling it we will no longer want capabilities
maintained if this process does another setuid().
5) clear the capabilities that we added to allow us to
setuid/setgid/change the bounding set (unless they were also requested
by the caller via the virCommand API).
Because the modification/maintaining of capabilities is intermingled
with setting the uid, this is necessarily done in a single function,
rather than having two independent functions.
Note that, due to the way that effective capabilities are computed (at
time of execve) for a process that has uid != 0, the *file*
capabilities of the binary being executed must also have the desired
capabilities bit(s) set (see "man 7 capabilities"). This can be done
with the "filecap" command. (e.g. "filecap /usr/bin/qemu-kvm sys_rawio").
This is an interim measure to make sure everything still works in this
order. The next step will be to perform capabilities drop and
setuid/gid as a single operation (which is the only way to keep any
capabilities when switching to a non-root uid).
The qemu driver had been calling virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel()
from a "pre-exec hook" function that is run after the child is forked,
but before exec'ing qemu. This is problematic because the uid and gid
of the child are set by the security driver, but capabilities are
dropped by virCommand - such separation doesn't work; the two
operations must be done together or the capabilities do not transfer
properly to the child process.
This patch switches to using virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel(),
which is called prior to virCommandRun() (rather than being called
*during* virCommandrun() by the hook function), and doesn't set the
UID/GID/security label directly, but instead merely informs virCommand
what it should set them all to when the time is appropriate.
This lets virCommand choose to do the uid/gid and caps dropping all at
the same time if it wants (it does *want* to, but isn't doing so yet;
that's for an upcoming patch).
The existing virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel() API is designed so
that it must be called after forking the child process, but before
exec'ing the child. Due to the way the virCommand API works, that
means it needs to be put in a "hook" function that virCommand is told
to call out to at that time.
Setting the child process label is a basic enough need when executing
any process that virCommand should have a method of doing that. But
virCommand must be told what label to set, and only the security
driver knows the answer to that question.
The new virSecurityManagerSet*Child*ProcessLabel() API is the way to
transfer the knowledge about what label to set from the security
driver to the virCommand object. It is given a virCommandPtr, and each
security driver calls the appropriate virCommand* API to tell
virCommand what to do between fork and exec.
1) in the case of the DAC security driver, it calls
virCommandSetUID/GID() to set a uid and gid that must be set for the
child process.
2) for the SELinux security driver, it calls
virCommandSetSELinuxLabel() to save a copy of the char* that will be
sent to setexeccon_raw() *after forking the child process*.
3) for the AppArmor security drivers, it calls
virCommandSetAppArmorProfile() to save a copy of the char* that will
be sent to aa_change_profile() *after forking the child process*.
With this new API in place, we will be able to remove
virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel() from any virCommand pre-exec
hooks.
(Unfortunately, the LXC driver uses clone() rather than virCommand, so
it can't take advantage of this new security driver API, meaning that
we need to keep around the older virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel(),
at least for now.)
virCommand gets two new APIs: virCommandSetSELinuxLabel() and
virCommandSetAppArmorProfile(), which both save a copy of a
null-terminated string in the virCommand. During virCommandRun, if the
string is non-NULL and we've been compiled with AppArmor and/or
SELinux security driver support, the appropriate security library
function is called for the child process, using the string that was
previously set. In the case of SELinux, setexeccon_raw() is called,
and for AppArmor, aa_change_profile() is called.
This functionality has been added so that users of virCommand can use
the upcoming virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel() prior to running
a child process, rather than needing to setup a hook function to be
called (and in turn call virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel()) *during*
the setup of the child process.
This makes it simpler to include the necessary system security driver
libraries for a particular system. For this patch, several existing
conditional sections from the Makfile were replaced; I'll later be
adding SECDRIVER_LIBS to libvirt_util_la_LIBADD, because vircommand.c
will be calling a function from $securitylib.
Setting the uid/gid of the child process was the only thing done by
the hook function in this case, and that can now be done more simply
with virCommandSetUID/GID.
Rather than treating uid:gid of 0:0 as a NOP, we blindly pass that
through to the lower layers. However, we *do* check for a requested
value of "-1" to mean "don't change this setting". setregid() and
setreuid() already interpret -1 as a NOP, so this is just an
optimization, but we are also calling getpwuid_r and initgroups, and
it's unclear what the former would do with a uid of -1.
If a uid and/or gid is specified for a command, it will be set just
after the user-supplied post-fork "hook" function is called.
The intent is that this can replace user hook functions that set
uid/gid. This moves the setting of uid/gid and dropping of
capabilities closer to each other, which is important since the two
should really be done at the same time (libcapng provides a single
function that does both, which we will be unable to use, but want to
mimic as closely as possible).
All args except "cmd" in the call to virExec are now redundant, since
they can all be found in cmd, so remove the args and reference the
data directly in cmd. One exception to this is that "infd" was being
modified within virExec, and modifying the original in cmd caused make
check failures, so cmd->infd is copied to a local, and the local is
used during virExec().
virExecWithHook is only called from one place, so it always has the
same "hook" function (virHookCommand), and the data sent to that
function is always a virCommandPtr, so eliminate the function and
generic data from the arglist, and replace it with "virCommandPtr
cmd". The call to (hook)(data) is replaced with
"virHookCommand(cmd)". Finally, virExecWithHook is renamed to virExec.
Indentation has been updated only for code that will remain after the
next patch, which will remove all other args to virExec (since they
are now redundant, as they're all members of virCommandPtr).
With the majority of fields in the virQEMUDriverPtr struct
now immutable or self-locking, there is no need for practically
any methods to be using the QEMU driver lock. Only a handful
of helper APIs in qemu_conf.c now need it
Currently, if a command wants to do asynchronous IO, a callback
is registered in the libvirtd eventloop to handle writes and
reads. However, there's a race in virCommandWait. The eventloop
may already be executing the callback, while virCommandWait is
mangling internal state of virCommand. To deal with it, we need
to either introduce locking or spawn a separate thread where we
poll() on stdio from child. The former, however, requires to
unlock all mutexes held, as the event loop may execute other
callbacks which tries to lock one of the mutexes, deadlock and
thus never wake us up. So it's safer to spawn a separate thread.
Commit 8b55992f added some Coverity comments to silence what was
a real bug in the code. Since then, we've had a miserable run
of trying to fix the underlying problem (commits c059cde and
ba5193c), and still have a problem on 32-bit machines.
This fixes the problem for once and for all, by realizing that
on older xen, cpumap_t is identical to uint64_t, and using the
new virendian.h to do the transformation from the API (documented
to be little-endian) to the host structure.
* src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c (virXen_setvcpumap): Do the conversion
correctly. Finally.
This makes code easier to read, by avoiding lines longer than
80 columns and removing the repetition from the callers.
* src/util/virstoragefile.c (qedGetHeaderUL, qedGetHeaderULL):
Delete in favor of more generic macros.
(qcow2GetBackingStoreFormat, qcowXGetBackingStore)
(qedGetBackingStore, virStorageFileMatchesVersion)
(virStorageFileGetMetadataInternal): Use new macros.
* src/cpu/cpu_x86.c (x86VendorLoad): Likewise.
We have several cases where we need to read endian-dependent
data regardless of host endianness; rather than open-coding
these call sites, it will be nicer to funnel things through
a macro.
The virendian.h file can be expanded to add writer functions,
and/or 16-bit access patterns, if needed. Also, if we need
to turn things into a function to avoid multiple evaluations
of buf, that can be done later. But for now, a macro worked.
* src/util/virendian.h: New file.
* src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Ship it.
* tests/virendiantest.c: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (test_programs, virendiantest_SOURCES): Run
the test.
* .gitignore: Ignore built file.
When removing a VM from the virDomainObjListPtr, we must not
be holding the VM lock while acquiring the list lock. Re-order
code to ensure that we can release the VM lock early.
The hook scripts used by virCommand must be careful wrt
accessing any mutexes that may have been held by other
threads in the parent process. With the recent refactoring
there are 2 potential flaws lurking, which will become real
deadlock bugs once the global QEMU driver lock is removed.
Remove use of the QEMU driver lock from the hook function
by passing in the 'virQEMUDriverConfigPtr' instance directly.
Add functions to the virSecurityManager to be invoked before
and after fork, to ensure the mutex is held by the current
thread. This allows it to be safely used in the hook script
in the child process.

The native bus for s390 I/O is called CCW (channel command word).
As QEMU has added basic support for the CCW bus, i.e. the
ability to assign CCW devnos (bus addresses) to devices.
Domains with the new machine type s390-ccw-virtio can use the
CCW bus. Currently QEMU will only allow to define virtio
devices on the CCW bus.
Here we add the new machine type and the new device address to the
schema definition and add a new paragraph to the domain XML
documentation.

'make check' has been failing on VPATH builds since commit
907a39e7. The tests already had magic for munging path names,

Only nodedev-destroy and nodedev-dumpxml can benifit from the
new API, other commands like nodedev-detach only works for
PCI devices, WWN makes no sense for them.
This just simply changes nodeDeviceLookupByWWN to be not static,
and its name into nodeDeviceLookupSCSIHostByWWN. And use that for
udev and HAL backends.
Like virNodeDeviceCreateXML, virNodeDeviceLookupSCSIHostByWWN
has to be treated specially when generating the RPC codes. Also
new rules are added in fixup_name to keep the name SCSIHostByWWN.
Since the name (like scsi_host10) is not stable for vHBA, (it can
be changed either after recreating or system rebooting), current
API virNodeDeviceLookupByName is not nice to use for management app
in this case. (E.g. one wants to destroy the vHBA whose name has
been changed after system rebooting, he has to find out current
name first).
Later patches will support the persistent vHBA via storage pool,
with which one can identify the vHBA stably by the wwnn && wwpn
pair.
So this new API comes.
The security manager drivers are not allowed to call back

Turns out the issue regarding ptr_arith and sign_exension weren't false
positives. When shifting an 'unsigned char' as a target, it gets promoted
to an 'int'; however, that 'int' cannot be shifted 32 bits which was how
the algorithm was written. For the ptr_arith rather than index into the
cpumap, change the to address as necessary and assign directly.
Arguments for driver entry points are checked in libvirt.c, so no need to
check again. Make function entry points consistent. Don't type caste the
