It supports 3 kind of probing times, at daemon startup, when the
daemon reloads its drivers on SIGHUP and when the daemon exits
* daemon/libvirtd.c: daemon hooks for startup, reload and exit
This exports 3 basic routines:
- virHookInitialize() initializing the hook support by looking for
scripts availability
- virHookPresent() used to test if there is a hook for a given driver
- virHookCall() which actually calls a synchronous script hook with
the needed parameters
Note that this doesn't expose any public API except for the locations
and arguments passed to the scripts
* src/Makefile.am: add the 2 new files
* src/util/hooks.h src/util/hooks.c: implements the 3 functions
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the 3 symbols internally
* po/POTFILES.in: add src/util/hooks.c to translatables modules
used to read the data from virExec stdout/err file descriptors
* src/util/util.c src/util/util.h: not static anymore and export it
* src/libvirt_private.syms: allow access internally
This flag is used in migration prepare step to send updated XML
definition of a guest.
Also ``virsh dumpxml --update-cpu [--inactive] guest'' command can be
used to see the updated CPU requirements.
Useful mainly for migration. cpuUpdate changes guest CPU requirements in
the following way:
- match == "strict" || match == "exact"
- optional features which are supported by host CPU are changed into
required features
- optional features which are not supported by host CPU are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
- match == "minimum"
- match is changed into "exact"
- optional features and all features not mentioned in guest CPU
specification which are supported by host CPU become required
features
- other optional features are disabled
- all other features remain untouched
This ensures that no feature will suddenly disappear from the guest
after migration.
When a domain is defined on host1, migrated to host2 and then migrated
back to host1, its current configuration would overwrite the libvirtd's
in-memory copy of persistent configuration of that domain. This is not
desired as we want to preserve the persistent configuration untouched.
This patch introduces new 'live' parameter to virDomainAssignDef.
Passing 'true' for 'live' means the configuration passed to
virDomainAssignDef describes a configuration of live instance of the
domain. This applies for saved domains which are being restored or for
incoming domains during migration.
All callers have been changed to pass the appropriate value.

To find out where the net type 'direct' needs to be handled I introduced
the 'enum virDomainNetType' in the virDomainNetDef structure and let the
compiler tell me where the case statement is missing. Then I added the
unhandled device statement to the UML driver.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: change _virDomainNetDef type from int to
virDomainNetType enum
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/lxc/lxc_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.c
src/uml/uml_conf.c: make sure all enum cases are properly handled
in switches
In the documentation mention that the direct device support is there
since libvirt 0.7.7. A Linux kernel 2.6.34 is required for macvtap to be
available as standard device.
Use the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags API to allow the VNC password

* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainGraphicsTypeToString
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Support VNC password change on a live
machine
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Disable crazy debugging info. Treat a
NULL password as "" (empty string), allowing passwords to be
disabled in the monitor

Support the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags API in virsh by adding

with an explicit 'change-disk' command for media change to make it
end user discoverable, as attach-disk is.
* tools/virsh.c: Add 'update-device' command
To allow the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() API to be universally
used with all drivers, this patch adds an impl to all the current
drivers which support CDROM or Floppy disk media change via the
current virDomainAttachDeviceFlags API
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,
src/xen/proxy_internal.c, src/xen/xen_driver.c,

This defines the wire format for the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags()
API, and implements the server & client side of the marshalling code.
* daemon/remote.c: Server side dispatch for virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Client side serialization for

The current virDomainAttachDevice API can be (ab)used to change
the media of an existing CDROM/Floppy device. Going forward there
will be more devices that can be configured on the fly and overloading
virDomainAttachDevice for this is not too pleasant. This patch adds
a new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() explicitly just for modifying
existing devices.

This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_GRAPHICS
The same event can be emitted in 3 scenarios
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_CONNECT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_INITIALIZE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_DISCONNECT,
} virDomainEventGraphicsPhase;
Connect/disconnect are triggered at socket accept/close.
The initialize phase is immediately after the protocol
setup and authentication has completed. ie when the
client is authorized and about to start interacting with
the graphical desktop
This event comes with *a lot* of potential information
- IP address, port & address family of client
- IP address, port & address family of server
- Authentication scheme (arbitrary string)
- Authenticated subject identity. A subject may have
multiple identities with some authentication schemes.
For example, vencrypt+sasl results in a x509dname
and saslUsername identities.
This results in a very complicated callback :-(
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV6,
} virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType;
struct _virDomainEventGraphicsAddress {
int family;
const char *node;
const char *service;
};
typedef struct _virDomainEventGraphicsAddress virDomainEventGraphicsAddress;
typedef virDomainEventGraphicsAddress *virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr;
struct _virDomainEventGraphicsSubject {
int nidentity;
struct {
const char *type;
const char *name;
} *identities;
};
typedef struct _virDomainEventGraphicsSubject virDomainEventGraphicsSubject;
typedef virDomainEventGraphicsSubject *virDomainEventGraphicsSubjectPtr;
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventGraphicsCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int phase,
virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr local,
virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr remote,
const char *authScheme,
virDomainEventGraphicsSubjectPtr subject,
void *opaque);
The wire protocol is similarly complex
struct remote_domain_event_graphics_address {
int family;
remote_nonnull_string node;
remote_nonnull_string service;
};
const REMOTE_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_IDENTITY_MAX = 20;
struct remote_domain_event_graphics_identity {
remote_nonnull_string type;
remote_nonnull_string name;
};
struct remote_domain_event_graphics_msg {
remote_nonnull_domain dom;
int phase;
remote_domain_event_graphics_address local;
remote_domain_event_graphics_address remote;
remote_nonnull_string authScheme;
remote_domain_event_graphics_identity subject<REMOTE_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_IDENTITY_MAX>;
};

protocol, but designed to be usable with SPICE graphics in
the future too.

This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR
This event includes the action that is about to be taken
as a result of the watchdog triggering
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_NONE = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_PAUSE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_IO_ERROR_REPORT,
} virDomainEventIOErrorAction;
In addition it has the source path of the disk that had the
error and its unique device alias. It does not include the
target device name (/dev/sda), since this would preclude
triggering IO errors from other file backed devices (eg
serial ports connected to a file)
Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventIOErrorCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
const char *srcPath,
const char *devAlias,
int action,
void *opaque);
This is currently wired up to the QEMU block IO error events

This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_WATCHDOG
This event includes the action that is about to be taken
as a result of the watchdog triggering
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_WATCHDOG_NONE = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_WATCHDOG_PAUSE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_WATCHDOG_RESET,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_WATCHDOG_POWEROFF,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_WATCHDOG_SHUTDOWN,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_WATCHDOG_DEBUG,
} virDomainEventWatchdogAction;
Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventWatchdogCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int action,
void *opaque);
* daemon/remote.c: Dispatch watchdog events to client
* examples/domain-events/events-c/event-test.c: Watch for

This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_RTC_CHANGE
This event includes the new UTC offset measured in seconds.
Thus there is a new callback definition for this event type
typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventRTCChangeCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
long long utcoffset,
void *opaque);
If the guest XML configuration for the <clock> is set to
offset='variable', then the XML will automatically be
updated with the new UTC offset value. This ensures that
during migration/save/restore the new offset is preserved.
* daemon/remote.c: Dispatch RTC change events to client

RTC change events
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define new RTC change event ID

The reboot event is not a normal lifecycle event, since the
virtual machine on the host does not change state. Rather the
guest OS is resetting the virtual CPUs. ie, the QEMU process
does not restart. Thus, this does not belong in the current
lifecycle events callback.
This introduces a new event type
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_REBOOT
It takes no parameters, besides the virDomainPtr, so it can
use the generic callback signature.
* daemon/remote.c: Dispatch reboot events to client
* examples/domain-events/events-c/event-test.c: Watch for
reboot events
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define new reboot event ID
* src/conf/domain_event.c, src/conf/domain_event.h,

for reboots and emit a libvirt reboot event
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Receive and dispatch reboot
events to application
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Wire protocol definition for
reboot events
To avoid confusion, rename the current REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_EVENT
message to REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_EVENT_LIFECYCLE. This does not
cause ABI problems, since the names are only relevant at the source
code level. On the wire they encoding is a plain integer whose
value does not change
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Rename REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_EVENT
to REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_EVENT_LIFECYCLE.
* daemon/remote.c, src/remote/remote_driver.c: Update code for

Convert the domain events example program to use the new
events APIs for one of its callback registrations to demo the
new API and interoperability with the old API.
* examples/domain-events/events-c/event-test.c: Convert to
new events API
This wires up the remote driver to handle the new events APIs.
The public API allows an application to request a callback filters
events to a specific domain object, and register multiple callbacks
for the same event type. On the wire there are two strategies for
this
- Register multiple callbacks with the remote daemon, each
with filtering as needed
- Register only one callback per event type, with no filtering
Both approaches have potential inefficiency. In the first scheme,
the same event gets sent over the wire many times if multiple
callbacks are registered. With the second scheme, unneccessary
events get sent over the wire if a per-domain filter is set on
the client. The second scheme is far easier to implement though,
so this patch takes that approach.
* daemon/dispatch.h: Don't export remoteRelayDomainEvent since it
is no longer needed for unregistering callbacks, instead the
unique callback ID is used
* daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.h: Track and unregister
callbacks based on callback ID, instead of function pointer
* daemon/remote.c: Switch over to using virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny
instead of legacy virConnectDomainEventRegister function. Refactor
remoteDispatchDomainEventSend() to cope with arbitrary event types
* src/driver.h, src/driver.c: Move verify() call into source file
instead of header, to avoid polluting the global namespace with
the verify function name
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Implement new APIs for event
registration. Refactor processCallDispatchMessage() to cope
with arbitrary incoming event types. Merge remoteDomainQueueEvent()
into processCallDispatchMessage() to avoid duplication of code.
Rename remoteDomainReadEvent() to remoteDomainReadEventLifecycle()
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Define wire format for the new
virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny and virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny
functions
The libvirtd daemon impl will need to switch over to using the
new event APIs. To make this simpler, ensure all drivers currently
providing events support both the new APIs and old APIs.
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/test/test_driver.c,
src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c, src/xen/xen_driver.c: Implement the new
virConnectDomainEvent(Dereg|Reg)isterAny driver entry points
The current internal domain events API tracks callbacks based on
the function pointer, and only supports lifecycle events. This
adds new internal APIs for registering callbacks for other event
types. These new APIs are postfixed with the word 'ID' to indicate
that they operated based on event ID, instead of hardcoded to
lifecycle events
* src/conf/domain_event.c, src/conf/domain_event.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new APIs for handling callbacks
for non-lifecycle events
The internal domain events APIs are designed to handle the lifecycle
events. This needs to be refactored to allow arbitrary new event
types to be handled.
* The signature of virDomainEventDispatchFunc changes to use
virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback instead of the lifecycle
event specific virConnectDomainEventCallback
* Every registered callback gains a unique ID to allow its
removal based on ID, instead of function pointer
* Every registered callback gains an 'eventID' to allow callbacks
for different types of events to be distinguished
* virDomainEventDispatch is adapted to filter out callbacks
whose eventID does not match the eventID of the event being
dispatched
* virDomainEventDispatch is adapted to filter based on the
domain name and uuid, if this filter is set for a callback.
* virDomainEvent type/detail fields are moved into a union to
allow different data fields for other types of events to be
added later
* src/conf/domain_event.h, src/conf/domain_event.c: Refactor
to allow handling of different types of events
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c,
src/remote/remote_driver.c, src/test/test_driver.c,
src/xen/xen_driver.c: Change dispatch function signature
to use virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback
The virtual box driver was directly accesing the domain events
structs instead of using the APIs provided. To prevent this kind
of abuse, make the struct definitions private, forcing use of the
internal APIs. This requires adding one extra internal API.
* src/conf/domain_event.h, src/conf/domain_event.c: Move
virDomainEventCallback and virDomainEvent structs into
the source file instead of header
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: Use official APIs for dispatching domain
events instead of accessing structs directly.
The current API for domain events has a number of problems
- Only allows for domain lifecycle change events
- Does not allow the same callback to be registered multiple times
- Does not allow filtering of events to a specific domain
This introduces a new more general purpose domain events API
typedef enum {
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE = 0, /* virConnectDomainEventCallback */
...more events later..
}
int virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom, /* Optional, to filter */
int eventID,
virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback cb,
void *opaque,
virFreeCallback freecb);
int virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny(virConnectPtr conn,
int callbackID);
Since different event types can received different data in the callback,
the API is defined with a generic callback. Specific events will each
have a custom signature for their callback. Thus when registering an
event it is neccessary to cast the callback to the generic signature
eg
int myDomainEventCallback(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainPtr dom,
int event,
int detail,
void *opaque)
{
...
}
virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(conn, NULL,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK(myDomainEventCallback)
NULL, NULL);
The VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK() macro simply does a "bad" cast
to the generic signature
