c97b632283 util: authconfig: Don't check return value of 'g_key_file_new()'
The function can't fail so it's pointless to check its return value.

b76b6a6169 vbox: Stop reporting RC in error messages
As shown in the commit that introduced vboxReportError(), we are
appending the retval of a failed VirtualBox API onto our error
messages. Well, this is no longer needed because
vboxReportError() already appends the VirtualBox error in plain
text.

3d8bd1fbe3 vbox: Replace virReportError() with vboxReportError()
Now that we have vboxReportError() which reports VirtualBox
errors too, we can switch the code to use the former. And since
the vboxReportError() is designed to behave exactly like
virReportError() we can do that almost everywhere, regardless of
the source of the error.

There are a few exceptions though, for instance, when
initializing VirtualBox SDK (we don't have all the objects needed
for querying exceptions yet), or when invalid combination of
arguments was passed to an API of ours, or when a function from
other module (e.g. src/conf/) failed.

70983f4f53 vbox: Introduce vboxReportError()
When a VirtualBox API fails it produced an exception. Until now,
we did not have correct APIs wired up to get the exception and
its error message. Thus, we were left with plain:

  virReportError("virtualbox API failed, rc=%08x", rc);

This is not very user friendly because those rc values are hard
to parse (e.g. some values are defined as a sum of a base value
and some other value) and also it expects users to know where to
look.

But now that we have all machinery needed for querying
exceptions, vboxReportError() can be introduced. The aim is to
query VirtualBox exceptions and append them after the error
message we intent to report. If the exception can't be queried
successfully, this behaves exactly like virReportError().

2a690fc172 vbox: Introduce IVirtualBoxErrorInfo interface
The IVirtualBoxErrorInfo interface allows us to query error
messages from VirtualBox. Since VirtualBox has stacked errors we
need the GetNext() method too.

The odd one, that sticks out is GetIID() as it is not part of the
interface as defined by VirtualBox header files. BUT, we need to
get the interface UUID (which MAY change across each release) so
that it can be passed to VBOX_QUERY_INTERFACE() introduced
earlier.

d4b6aa6305 vbox: Introduce VBOX_QUERY_INTERFACE()
So far we haven't needed to use a different interface for objects
we are working with. We were happy with calling their respective
vtbl callbacks. Well, this will change soon as we will query an
exception (type of nsIException) but will need to promote it to
IVirtualBoxErrorInfo class. This promoting is done by
QueryInterface() callback which accepts 3 arguments: the original
object, ID of the new interface and address where to store the
promoted object.

As this is very basic operation, available to every object, it is
part of the ISupports interface among with other goodies like
AddRef() and Release().

106d795faf vbox: Add support for version 7.0 SDK
As advertised in previous commit that added the SDK header file,
there were some changes to the API:

1) IVirtualBox::OpenMachine() and IVirtualBox::CreateMachine()
   now have @password argument to deal with password protected
   settings files. Well, we don't have that wired now (and we
   don't create such files). If we ever want to support user
   settings files that are password protected (e.g. via
   virSecret) we can wire this argument. For now, just pass NULL.

2) IMachine::GetAudioAdapter() is gone. But it can be replaced
   with IMachine::GetAudioSettings() + IMachine::GetAdapter()
   combo.

90178989c6 vbox: Rename #include guard macro in header files
To avoid including a header file more than once, either:

  #pragma once

can be used, or the older trick (that vbox still uses):

  #ifndef MACRO
  # define MACRO

Well, vbox still uses the latter and in its 7.0 release the macro
was renamed from ___VirtualBox_CXPCOM_h to ___VirtualBox_CAPI_h.
Now, ideally, we wouldn't touch those header files for older
versions, but we need to use the same macro across all header
files (because vbox_tmpl.c includes corresponding vbox_CAPI_XXX.h
and then includes vbox_XPCOMCGlue.h which in turn includes
vbox_CAPI_v6_1.h to get the basic typedefs).

Instead of changing the newer 7.0 header file (and having to
change all subsequent versions), let's change the old ones and as
we drop support for them, we can forget this ever happened.

dfef0e70de network: Increase max route size when checking IPv6 forwarding
In d9ee51e, virNetDevIPCheckIPv6Forwarding was updated to walk the
contents of /proc/net/ipv6_route so that it could check to see if the
RTF_ADDRCONF was set on any IPv6 routes to ultimately determine if
enabling forwarding would result in an error due to accept_ra=1 being
set on the interface.

The implementation added in that commit limited the number of routes
that could be read from /proc/net/ipv6_route to 100_000, each with 150
characters. This is problematic for machines that have a full IPv6
routing table, as the IPv6 routing table has now grown to over 160_000
(it was closer to 100_000 at the time of that commit).

This patch increases the maximum route size from 100_000 to 1_000_000.
While a million routes is somewhat arbitrary, it's meant to be a value
that can be supported for the forseeable future. APNIC, one of the five
regional internet registries, recently published a forecast of IPv6
table growth which anticipates a worst-case growth to 1_000_000 in
January of 2029.

8865c42771 qemu: Provide virDomainGetCPUStats() implementation for session connection
We have virDomainGetCPUStats() API which offers querying
statistics on host CPU usage by given guest. And it works in two
modes: getting overall stats (@start_cpu == -1, @ncpus == 1) or
getting per host CPU usage.

For the QEMU driver it is implemented by looking into values
stored in corresponding cpuacct CGroup controller. Well, this
works for system instances, where libvirt has permissions to
create CGroups and place QEMU process into them. But it does not
fly for session connection, where no CGroups are set up.

Fortunately, we can do something similar to v8.8.0-rc1~95 and use
virProcessGetStatInfo() to fill the overall stats. Unfortunately,
I haven't found any source of per host CPU usage, so we just
continue throwing an error in that case.

818c9717c5 src: Don't use virReportSystemError() on virProcessGetStatInfo() failure
Firstly, the virProcessGetStatInfo() does not fail really. But
even if it did, it sets correct errno only sometimes (and even
that is done in a helper it's calling - virProcessGetStat() and
even there it's the case only in very few error paths).

Therefore, using virReportSystemError() to report errors is very
misleading. Use plain virReportError() instead. Luckily, there
are only two places where the former was used:
chDomainHelperGetVcpus() and qemuDomainHelperGetVcpus() (not a
big surprise since CH driver is heavily inspired by QEMU driver).

Two of the messages referred to 'backend type' when dealing
with the source type and one mentioned the 'client' attribute
from an earlier iteration of the patches, even though the attribute
was later changed to 'connect'.

d6a8b9eef7 qemu_interface: Fix managed='no' case when creating an ethernet interface
In a recent commit of v9.0.0-rc1~192 I've tried to forbid case
where a TAP device already exists, but at the same time it's
managed by Libvirt (<interface type='ethernet'> <target
dev='tap0' managed='yes'/> </interface>). NB, if @managed
attribute is missing then it's assumed to be managed by Libvirt.

Anyway, I've mistakenly put setting of
VIR_NETDEV_TAP_CREATE_ALLOW_EXISTING flag into managed='yes'
branch instead of managed='no' branch in
qemuInterfaceEthernetConnect().

Move the setting of the flag into the correct branch.

af99d60dc8 virnetdevtap: Clarify virNetDevTapCreate() behavior wrt VIR_NETDEV_TAP_CREATE_ALLOW_EXISTING
The VIR_NETDEV_TAP_CREATE_ALLOW_EXISTING flag is documented as:

  /* The device is allowed to exist before creation */
  VIR_NETDEV_TAP_CREATE_ALLOW_EXISTING     = 1 << 4,

and yet, the documentation to virNetDevTapCreate() documents its
behavior when the flag is passed as:

  *   VIR_NETDEV_TAP_CREATE_ALLOW_EXISTING
  *     - The device creation fails if @ifname already exists

Fortunately, the function is implemented so that it follows the
expected behavior (i.e. the former flag documentation). Fix the
function documentation then.

57b0678590 docs: submitting-patches: remove note about --patience
Since we don't really say how to send patches using this diff algorithm,
it only clutters the document about *submitting* patches.
