Don't require dlopen, but link to ole32 and oleaut32 on Windows.
Don't expose g_pVBoxFuncs anymore. It was only used to get the
version of the API. Make VBoxCGlueInit return the version instead.
This simplifies the implementation of the MSCOM glue layer.
Get the VirtualBox version from the registry.
Add a dummy implementation of the nsIEventQueue to the MSCOM glue
as there seems to be no direct equivalent with MSCOM. It might be
implemented using the normal window message loop. This requires
additional investigation.
The QEMU driver file is far too large. Move all the hotplug

This introduces a new set of APIs in src/util/command.h
to use for invoking commands. This is intended to replace
all current usage of virRun and virExec variants, with a
more flexible and less error prone API.
* src/util/command.c: New file.
* src/util/command.h: New header.
* src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Build it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export symbols internally.
* tests/commandtest.c: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (check_PROGRAMS): Run it.
* tests/commandhelper.c: Auxiliary program.
* tests/commanddata/test2.log - test15.log: New expected outputs.
* cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add virCommandFree.
(msg_gen_function): Add virCommandError.
* po/POTFILES.in: New translation.
* .x-sc_avoid_write: Add exemption.
* tests/.gitignore: Ignore new built file.
Allows bootstrap to work on FreeBSD, where gzip doesn't have a '.'
in its version; and silences false positives in the new
'make syntax-check' rule.
* .gnulib: Update to latest.
* bootstrap: Synchronize to upstream.
* .x-sc_bindtextdomain: New exemptions.
* Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Ship new file.
* .gitignore: Regenerate per latest bootstrap, anchor entries that
are only in the root directory, and consolidate entries from other
generated .gitignore files.
* build-aux/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore: Remove from
version control, since bootstrap generates them.
Per the gettext developer:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-10/msg00019.htmlhttp://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-10/msg00021.html
gettext() doesn't work correctly on all platforms unless you have
called setlocale(). Furthermore, gnulib's gettext.h has provisions
for setting up a default locale, which is the preferred method for
libraries to use gettext without having to call textdomain() and
override the main program's default domain (virInitialize already
calls bindtextdomain(), but this is insufficient without the
setlocale() added in this patch; and a redundant bindtextdomain()
in this patch doesn't hurt, but serves as a good example for other
packages that need to bind a second translation domain).
This patch is needed to silence a new gnulib 'make syntax-check'
rule in the next patch.
* daemon/libvirtd.c (main): Setup locale and gettext.
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c (main): Likewise.
* src/security/virt-aa-helper.c (main): Likewise.
* src/storage/parthelper.c (main): Likewise.
* tools/virsh.c (main): Fix exit status.
* src/internal.h (DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN): Define, for gettext.h.
(_): Simplify definition accordingly.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/storage/parthelper.c.
To avoid the need for duplicating implementations of virStream
drivers, provide a generic implementation that can handle any
FD based stream. This code is copied from the existing impl
in the QEMU driver, with the locking moved into the stream
impl, and addition of a read callback
The FD stream code will refuse to operate on regular files or
block devices, since those can't report EAGAIN properly when
they would block on I/O
* include/libvirt/virterror.h, include/libvirt/virterror.h: Add
VIR_FROM_STREAM error domain
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove code obsoleted by the new
generic streams driver.
* src/fdstream.h, src/fdstream.c, src/fdstream.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Generic reusable FD based streams
Move existing routines about virSysinfoDef to an util module,
add a new entry point virSysinfoRead() to read the host values
with dmidecode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h src/util/sysinfo.c
src/util/sysinfo.h: move to a new module, add virSysinfoRead()
* src/Makefile.am: handle the new module build
* src/libvirt_private.syms: new internal symbols
* include/libvirt/virterror.h src/util/virterror.c: defined a new
error code for that module
* po/POTFILES.in: add new file for translations
This partly reverts df90ca7661.
Don't disable the VirtualBox driver when configure can't find
VBoxXPCOMC.so, rely on detection at runtime again instead.
Keep --with-vbox=/path/to/virtualbox intact, added to for:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609185
Detection order for VBoxXPCOMC.so:
1. VBOX_APP_HOME environment variable
2. configure provided location
3. hardcoded list of known locations
4. dynamic linker search path
Also cleanup the glue code and improve error reporting.
Instead of storing the IP address string in virNetwork related
structs, store the parsed virSocketAddr. This will make it
easier to add IPv6 support in the future, by letting driver
code directly check what address family is present
* src/conf/network_conf.c, src/conf/network_conf.h,
src/network/bridge_driver.c: Convert to use virSocketAddr
in virNetwork, instead of char *.
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h,
src/util/dnsmasq.c, src/util/dnsmasq.h,
src/util/iptables.c, src/util/iptables.h: Convert to
take a virSocketAddr instead of char * for any IP
address parameters
* src/util/network.h: Add macros to determine if an address
is set, and what address family is set.
The getnameinfo() function is more flexible than inet_ntop()
avoiding the need to if/else the code based on socket family.
Also make it support UNIX socket addrs and allow inclusion
of a port (service) address. Finally do proper error reporting
via normal APIs.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c,
src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Fix error handling with virSocketFormat
* src/util/network.c: Rewrite virSocketFormat to use getnameinfo
and cope with UNIX socket addrs.
Integrate with libaudit.so for auditing of important operations.
libvirtd gains a couple of config entries for auditing. By
default it will enable auditing, if its enabled on the host.
It can be configured to force exit if auditing is disabled
on the host. It will can also send audit messages via libvirt
internal logging API
Places requiring audit reporting can use the VIR_AUDIT
macro to report data. This is a no-op unless auditing is
enabled
* autobuild.sh, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Disable audit
on mingw
* configure.ac: Add check for libaudit
* daemon/libvirtd.aug, daemon/libvirtd.conf,
daemon/test_libvirtd.aug, daemon/libvirtd.c: Add config
options to enable auditing
* include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/util/virterror.c: Add
VIR_FROM_AUDIT source
* libvirt.spec.in: Enable audit
* src/util/virtaudit.h, src/util/virtaudit.c: Simple internal
API for auditing messages
Previously, the functions in src/lxc/veth.c could sometimes return
positive values on failure rather than -1. This made accurate error
reporting difficult, and led to one failure to catch an error in a
calling function.
This patch makes all the functions in veth.c consistently return 0 on
success, and -1 on failure. It also fixes up the callers to the veth.c
functions where necessary.
Note that this patch may be related to the bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607496.
It will not fix the bug, but should unveil what happens.
* po/POTFILES.in - add veth.c, which previously had no translatable strings
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c - fixup callers to veth.c, and remove error logs,
as they are now done in veth.c
* src/lxc/veth.c - make all functions consistently return -1 on error.
* src/lxc/veth.h - use ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL to protect against NULL args.
Allows listing existing pools and requesting information about them.
Alter the esxVI_ProductVersion enum in a way that allows to check for
product type by masking.
Allow for a host UUID in the capabilities XML. Local drivers
will initialize this from the SMBIOS data. If a sanity check
shows SMBIOS uuid is invalid, allow an override from the
libvirtd.conf configuration file
* daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.conf: Support a host_uuid
configuration option
* docs/schemas/capability.rng: Add optional host uuid field
* src/conf/capabilities.c, src/conf/capabilities.h: Include
host UUID in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export new uuid.h functions
* src/lxc/lxc_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c,
src/uml/uml_conf.c: Set host UUID in capabilities
* src/util/uuid.c, src/util/uuid.h: Support for host UUIDs
* src/node_device/node_device_udev.c: Use the host UUID functions
* tests/confdata/libvirtd.conf, tests/confdata/libvirtd.out: Add
new host_uuid config option to test
* po/POTFILES.in: the new module contains translatable strings
* src/Makefile.am: include the files in the utils set
* src/libvirt_private.syms: exports the symbols internally
Changes from v1 to v2:
- changed function name prefixes to 'iface' from previous 'Iface'
- Further to make make syntax-check pass:
- indentation fix in interface.h
- added entry to POTFILES.in
I am consolidating network interface related functions used in nwfilter
and macvtap code in utils/interface.c. All function names are prefixed
with 'Iface'. The following functions are now available through
interface.h:
int ifaceCtrl(const char *name, bool up);
int ifaceUp(const char *name);
int ifaceDown(const char *name);
int ifaceCheck(bool reportError, const char *ifname,
const unsigned char *macaddr, int ifindex);
int ifaceGetIndex(bool reportError, const char *ifname, int *ifindex);
I added 'int ifindex' as parameter to ifaceCheck to the original
function and modified the code accordingly.
* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in src/libvirt_public.syms:
updates for release of 0.8.0
* po/*.po po/libvirt.pot: updated a lar set of localizations, and merge
the messages
Also define ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR in a central place, instead of
defining them in each source file.
Add ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR to the msg_gen_function list in cfg.mk.
Update po/POTFILES.in accordingly.
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
This patch implements the core driver and provides
- management functionality for managing the filter XMLs
- compiling the internal filter representation into ebtables rules
- applying ebtables rules on a network (tap,macvtap) interface
- tearing down ebtables rules that were applied on behalf of an
interface
- updating of filters while VMs are running and causing the firewalls to
be rebuilt
- other bits and pieces

Copy the latest gnulib bootstrap, which runs autoreconf and
generates po/Makevars for us. Other improvements include some
improved prerequisite tool checking.
This also fixes a bug in the .pot files, regarding the copyright holder.
* bootstrap: Update to version in .gnulib/build-aux.
* bootstrap.conf (MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS, COPYRIGHT_HOLDER, SKIP_PO)
(gnulib_mk, ACLOCAL, bootstrap_epilogue): Provide overrides.
* autogen.sh (autoreconf): Avoid redundant autoreconf if bootstrap
was run.
* po/Makevars: Delete, now that bootstrap creates it.
* po/.gitignore: Update.
This part adds the helper code to setup and tear down macvtap devices
using direct communication with the device driver via netlink sockets.
The rather short messages received from the netlink layer are now
written into a dynamically allocated buffer
* src/util/macvtap.h src/util/macvtap.c: provides the new module
* po/POTFILES.in: the module contains translated strings
This new security driver is responsible for managing UID/GID changes
to the QEMU process, and any files/disks/devices assigned to it.
* qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add flag for disabling automatic file permission
changes
* qemu/qemu_security_dac.h, qemu/qemu_security_dac.c: New DAC driver
for QEMU guests
* Makefile.am: Add new files
Based off how QEMU does it, look through /sys/bus/usb/devices/* for
matching vendor:product info, and if found, use info from the surrounding
files to build the device's /dev/bus/usb path.
This fixes USB device assignment by vendor:product when running qemu
as non-root (well, it should, but for some reason I couldn't reproduce
the failure people are seeing in [1], but it appears to work properly)

Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
&forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
&disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
to the hypervisor
Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
allowed model names:
cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor

Initial support for the new QEMU monitor protocol using JSON
as the data encoding format instead of plain text
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Hack to turn on QMP

* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h: Add
impl of QMP protocol
* src/Makefile.am: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.{c,h}
This introduces simple API for handling JSON data. There is
an internal data structure 'virJSONValuePtr' which stores a
arbitrary nested JSON value (number, string, array, object,
nul, etc). There are APIs for constructing/querying objects
and APIs for parsing/formatting string formatted JSON data.
This uses the YAJL library for parsing/formatting from
http://lloyd.github.com/yajl/
* src/util/json.h, src/util/json.c: Data structures and APIs
for representing JSON data, and parsing/formatting it
* configure.in: Add check for yajl library

The qemu_driver.c code should not contain any code that interacts
with the QEMU monitor at a low level. A previous commit moved all
the command invocations out. This change moves out the code which
actually opens the monitor device.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove qemudOpenMonitor & methods called
from it.
* src/Makefile.am: Add qemu_monitor.{c,h}

the AppArmor security driver to manipulate AppArmor.
* po/POTFILES.in: registers the new files
* tests/Makefile.am tests/secaatest.c tests/virt-aa-helper-test:
tests for virt-aa-helper and the security driver, secaatest.c is
identical to seclabeltest.c except it initializes the 'apparmor'
driver instead of 'selinux'
Pull out all the QEMU monitor interaction code to a separate
file. This will make life easier when we need to drop in a
new implementation for the forthcoming QMP machine friendly
monitor support.
Next step is to add formal APIs for each monitor command,
and remove direct commands for sending/receiving generic
data.
* src/Makefile.am: Add qemu_monitor.c to build
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove code for monitor interaction
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h: New
file for monitor interaction
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c
This implementation stores the secrets in an unencrypted text file,
for simplicity in implementation and debugging.
(Symmetric encryption, e.g. using gpgme, will not be difficult to add.
Because the TLS private key used by libvirtd is stored unencrypted,
encrypting the secrets file does not currently provide much additional
security.)
* include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/virterror.c (VIR_ERR_NO_SECRET): New
error number.
* po/POTFILES.in, src/Makefile.am: Add secret_driver.
* bootstrap: Use gnulib's base64 module.
* src/secret_driver.c, src.secret_driver.h, src/libvirt_private.syms:
Add local secret driver.
* qemud/qemud.c (qemudInitialize): Use the local secret driver.
Add a <secret> XML handling API, separate from the local driver, to
avoid manually generating XML in other parts of libvirt.
* src/secret_conf.c, src/secret_conf.h: New files.
* po/POTFILES.in, src/Makefile.am: Add secret_conf.
* configure.in src/Makefile.am src/storage_backend.[ch]
src/storage_conf.[ch] src/storage_backend_mpath.[ch] po/POTFILES.in:
add a new module for storage multipath, it requires device-mapper
Define an <encryption> tag specifying volume encryption format and
format-depenedent parameters (e.g. passphrase, cipher name, key
length, key).
Currently the only defined parameter is a reference to a "secret"
(passphrase/key) managed using the virSecret* API.
Only the qcow/qcow2 encryption format, and a "default" format used to
let libvirt choose the format during volume creation, is currently
supported.
This patch does not add any users; the <encryption> tag is added in
the following patches to both volumes (to support encrypted volume
creation) and domains.
* docs/*.html: Re-generate
* docs/formatstorageencryption.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in:
Add page describing storage encryption data format
* docs/schemas/Makefile.am, docs/schemas/storageencryption.rng:

* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/storage_encryption_conf.c
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virStorageEncryption* functions
* src/storage_encryption_conf.h, src/storage_encryption_conf.c: Internal
helper APIs for dealing with storage encryption format
* libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Add storageencryption.rng
RNG schema
* src/libvirt.c src/logging.c: Don't convert high priority levels to the
debug level. Don't parse LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS and LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS
when they're set to the empty string. Warn when the user specifies an
invalid value (empty string remains a noop).
* po/POTFILES.in: src/logging.c now include translatable strings
* src/libvirt.c: activate the interface drivers
* po/POTFILES.in: add the netcf driver as a source of localization strings
* src/interface_driver.c: NETCF_ENOMEM -> VIR_ERR_NO_MEMORY mapping was

* src/interface_conf.c src/interface_conf.h: the import and export
routines and the internal APIs
* src/Makefile.am: hook the new file in the makefiles
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export a few private symbols internally
* po/POTFILES.in: the new file contains translatable strings
This makes it so we record (via a git submodule)
a snapshot of whatever version of gnulib we're using,
and none of gnulib sources are in the libvirt repository.
The result is that we have as much reproducibility as when
we version-controlled imported copies of the gnulib sources,
but without the hassle of the manual process we used when
syncing with upstream.
Note that when you clone libvirt, you get only the libvirt
repository, but when you first run ./bootstrap, it clones
gnulib (at the SHA1 recorded via the submodule), creating
the .gnulib/ hierarchy. Then, the bootstrap script runs
gnulib-tool to populate gnulib/ with the files that make
up the selected modules.
Put the following in your ~/.gitconfig file.
[alias]
syncsub = submodule foreach git pull origin master
The update procedure is simple:
git syncsub
...build & test...
git commit -m 'gnulib: sync submodule to latest' .gnulib
