Strongly recommend against use of the log_levels setting since it
creates overly verbose logs and has a serious performance impact.
Describe the log filter syntax better and mention use of shell
glob syntax. Also provide more realistic example of good settings
to use. The libvirtd example is biased towards QEMU, but when the
drivers split off each daemon can get its own more appropriate
example.

Rather than have virJSONValueArraySize return a -1 when the input
is not an array and then splat an error message, let's check for
an array before calling and then change the return to be a size_t
instead of ssize_t.
That means using the helper virJSONValueIsArray as well as using a
more generic error message such as "Malformed <something> array".
In some cases we can remove stack variables and when we cannot,
those variables should be size_t not ssize_t. Alter a few references
of if (!value) to be if (value == 0) instead as well.
Some callers can already assume an array is being worked on based
on the previous call, so there's less to do.

So far we are repeating the following lines over and over:

While this works, it is impossible to do some checking. Firstly,
the class name (the 2nd argument) doesn't match the name in the

Most of the augeas test files use ::CONFIG:: to pull in the master
config file for testing. This ensures that entries added to the config
file are actually tested by augeas.
This identified the missing admin_max_clients example in the virtlogd
config file, which in turn prompted a change in description of the
max_clients parameter, since these daemons don't have separate
readonly & readwrite sockets.

The global log buffer feature was deleted in:
commit c0c8c1d7bb
Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Date: Mon Mar 3 14:54:33 2014 +0000
Remove global log buffer feature entirely
A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

Currently both virtlogd and virtlockd use a single worker thread for
dispatching RPC messages. Even this is overkill and their RPC message
handling callbacks all run in short, finite time and so blocking the
main loop is not an issue like you'd see in libvirtd with long running
QEMU commands.
By setting max_workers==0, we can turn off the worker thread and run
these daemons single threaded. This in turn fixes a serious problem in
the virtlockd daemon whereby it loses all fcntl() locks at re-exec due
to multiple threads existing. fcntl() locks only get preserved if the
process is single threaded at time of exec().

With the current code it is neccessary to call
virNetDaemonNewPostExecRestart()
and then for each server that needs restarting you are supposed
to call
virNetDaemonAddSeverPostExecRestart()
This is fine if there's only ever one server, but as soon as you
have two servers it is impossible to use this design. The code
has no idea which servers were recorded in the JSON state doc,
nor in which order the hash table serialized its keys.
So this patch changes things so that we only call
virNetDaemonNewPostExecRestart()
passing in a callback, which is invoked once for each server
found int he JSON state doc.

We put the server into a hash table as we do with the other daemons,

The initial assumption was ~2 files per guest, but some common setups
like Openstack drive up to 4 files per guest.
E.g. on Arm where the following XML leads to 4 file handles:
<serial type='file'>
<source path='/var/lib/nova/instances/7c0dcd78-.../console.log'/>
<target port='0'/>
<alias name='serial0'/>
</serial>
<console type='file'>
<source path='/var/lib/nova/instances/7c0dcd78-.../console.log'/>
<target type='serial' port='0'/>
<alias name='serial0'/>
</console>
With that in mind and the target to support 4k guests by default we
should raise the limit to 16k.

Commit 94c465d0 refactored the logging setup phase but introduced an
issue, where the daemon ignores verbose mode when there are no outputs
defined and the default must be used. The problem is that the default
output was determined too early, thus ignoring the potential '--verbose'
option taking effect. This patch postpones the creation of the default
output to the very last moment when nothing else can change. Since the
default output is only created during the init phase, it's safe to leave
the pointer as NULL for a while, but it will be set eventually, thus not
affecting runtime.
Patch also adjusts both the other daemons.

The log and lock protocol don't have an extra handshake to close the
connection. Instead they just close the socket. Unfortunately that
resulted into a lot of spurious garbage logged to the system log files:
2017-03-17 14:00:09.730+0000: 4714: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1800 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error
or in the journal as:
Mar 13 16:19:33 xxxx virtlogd[32360]: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
Use the new facility in the netserverclient to suppress the IO error
report from the virNetSocket layer.
Linux still defaults to a 1024 open file handle limit. This causes
scalability problems for libvirtd / virtlockd / virtlogd on large
hosts which might want > 1024 guest to be running. In fact if each
guest needs > 1 FD, we can't even get to 500 guests. This is not
good enough when we see machines with 100's of physical cores and
TBs of RAM.
In comparison to other memory requirements of libvirtd & related
daemons, the resource usage associated with open file handles
is essentially line noise. It is thus reasonable to increase the
limits unconditionally for all installs.

For logging one-shot entries to the VM log file it's quite a waste to
hold open the file descriptor for logging that is provided by the
current API.
This new API will be ideal for logging one-shot entries to the file
e.g. at the point when we shut the VM down rather than having to add the
whole file-descriptor infrastructure.
Additionally this will allow to add the messages even after restart of
libvirtd since virtlogd doesn't allow to obtain a regular context with
filedescriptors while the VM is still active.
Admin API needs a way of addressing specific clients. Unlike servers, which we
are happy to address by names both because its name reflects its purpose (to
some extent) and we only have two of them (so far), naming clients doesn't make
any sense, since a) each client is an anonymous, i.e. not recognized after a
disconnect followed by a reconnect, b) we can't predict what kind of requests
it's going to send to daemon, and c) the are loads of them comming and going,
so the only viable option is to use an ID which is of a reasonably wide data
type.

The current virtlogd RPC protocol provides the ability to
handle log files associated with QEMU stdout/err. The log
protocol messages take the virt driver, domain name and
use that to form a log file path. This is quite restrictive
as it prevents us re-using the same RPC protocol messages
for logging to char device backends where the filename
can be arbitrarily user specified. It is also bad because
it means we have 2 separate locations which have to decide
on logfile name.
This change alters the RPC protocol so that we pass the
desired log file path along when opening the log file
initially. Now the virt driver is exclusively in charge
of deciding the log filename
