Prior to this patch, <domainsnapshot>/<disks> was ignored. This
changes it to be an error unless an explicit disk snapshot is
requested (a future patch may relax things if it turns out to
be useful to have a <disks> specification alongside a system
checkpoint).

Just like VM saved state images (virsh save), snapshots MUST
track the inactive domain xml to detect any ABI incompatibilities.
The indentation is not perfect, but functionality comes before form.
Later patches will actually supply a full domain; for now, this
wires up the storage to support one, but doesn't ever generate one
in dumpxml output.
Happily, libvirt.c was already rejecting use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE
from read-only connections, even though before this patch, there was
no information to be secured by the use of that flag.
And while we're at it, mark the libvirt snapshot metadata files
as internal-use only.

Based on a patch by Philipp Hahn.
Just as leaving managed save metadata behind can cause problems
when creating a new domain that happens to collide with the name
of the just-deleted domain, the same is true of leaving any
snapshot metadata behind. For safety sake, extend the semantic
change of commit b26a9fa9 to also cover snapshot metadata as a
reason to reject undefining an inactive domain. A future patch
will make sure that shutdown of a transient domain automatically
deletes snapshot metadata (whether by destroy, shutdown, or
guest-initiated action). Management apps of transient domains
should take care to capture xml of snapshots, if it is necessary
to recreate the snapshot metadata on a later transient domain
with the same name and uuid.
This also documents a new flag that hypervisors can choose to
support as a shortcut for taking care of the metadata as part of
the undefine process; however, nontrivial driver support for these
flags will be deferred to future patches.
Note that ESX and VBox can never be transient; therefore, they
do not have to worry about automatic cleanup after shutdown
(the persistent domain still remains); likewise they never
store snapshot metadata, so the undefine flag is trivial.
The nontrivial work remaining is thus in the qemu driver.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in
(VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_SNAPSHOTS_METADATA): New flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainUndefine, virDomainUndefineFlags):

Redefining a qemu snapshot requires a bit of a tweak to the common
snapshot parsing code, but the end result is quite nice.
Be careful that redefinitions do not introduce circular parent
chains. Also, we don't want to allow conversion between online
and offline existing snapshots. We could probably do some more
validation for snapshots that don't already exist to make sure
they are even feasible, by parsing qemu-img output, but that
can come later.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainSnapshotParseFlags): New
internal flags.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotDefParseString): Alter
signature to take internal flags.
* src/esx/esx_driver.c (esxDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Update caller.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Support
new public flags.
The first two flags are essential for being able to replicate
snapshot hierarchies across multiple hosts, which will come in
handy for supervised migrations. It also allows a management app
to take a snapshot of a transient domain, save the metadata, stop
the domain, recreate a new transient domain by the same name,
redefine the snapshot, then revert to it.
This is not quite as convenient as leaving the metadata behind
after a domain is no longer around, but doing that has a few
problems: 1. the libvirt API can only delete snapshot metadata
if there is a valid domain handle to use to get to that snapshot
object - if stale data is left behind without a domain, there is
no way to request that the data be cleaned up. 2. creating a new
domain with the same name but different uuid than the older
domain where a snapshot existed cannot use the older snapshot
data; this risks confusing libvirt, and forbidding the stale
data is similar to the recent patch to forbid stale managed save.
The first two flags might be useful on hypervisors with no metadata,
but only for modifying the notion of the current snapshot;
however, I don't know how to do that for ESX or VBox.
The third flag is a convenience option, to combine a creation with
a delete metadata into one step. It is trivial for hypervisors
with no metadata.
The qemu changes will be involved enough to warrant a separate patch.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE)

enforce mutual exclusion.
* src/esx/esx_driver.c (esxDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Trivial
implementation.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Likewise.
* docs/formatsnapshot.html.in: Document re-creation.
To make it easier to know when undefine will fail because of existing
snapshot metadata, we need to know how many snapshots have metadata.
Also, it is handy to filter the list of snapshots to just those that
have no parents; document that flag now, but implement it in later patches.

A future patch will make it impossible to remove a domain if it
would leave behind any libvirt-tracked metadata about snapshots,
since stale metadata interferes with a new domain by the same name.
But requiring snaphot contents to be deleted before removing a
domain is harsh; with qemu, qemu-img can still make use of the
contents after the libvirt domain is gone. Therefore, we need
an option to get rid of libvirt tracking information, but not
the actual contents. For hypervisors that do not track any
metadata in libvirt, the implementation is trivial; all remaining
hypervisors (really, just qemu) will be dealt with separately.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY): New flag.

Silently ignored flags get in the way of new features that
use those flags.
Regarding ESX migration flags - right now, ESX silently enforces
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST, VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE, and
VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE, even if those flags were not supplied; it ignored
other flags. This patch does not change the implied bits (it permits
but does not require them), but enforces only the supported bits.
If further cleanup is needed to be more particular about migration
flags, that should be a separate patch.

The drivers were accepting domain configs without checking if those
were actually meant for them. For example the LXC driver happily
accepts configs with type QEMU.
Add a check for the expected domain types to the virDomainDefParse*
functions.
To avoid regressions, we let callers specify whether to require a
minor and micro version. Callers that were parsing uname() output
benefit from defaulting to 0, whereas callers that were parsing
version strings from other sources should not change in behavior.

Detected by Coverity. The beginning of the function already filtered
out NULL objectContentList as invalid. Further investigation shows:
esxVI_RetrieveProperties is generated and returns a list of objects
that match the given propertyFilterSpec.
esxVI_LookupObjectContentByType then tests whether the result
corresponds to the expected occurrence and reports an error otherwise.
This simplifies the callers of esxVI_LookupObjectContentByType, but
due to the missing dereference the check was never performed because
the code thought that at least one item was obtained. NULL represents
an empty list. This is a potential segfault fix because callers of
esxVI_LookupObjectContentByType that specified "required" occurrence
assume *objectContentList to be non-NULL when
esxVI_LookupObjectContentByType succeeds.

Well, the remaining drivers that already had the get/set

Before commit 145d6cb05c (in August 2010) absolute file names
in VMX and domain XML configs were handled correctly. But this got
lost during the refactoring. The test cases didn't highlight this
problem because they have their own set of file name handling
functions. The actual ones require a real connection to an ESX
server. Also the test case functions always worked correctly.
Fix the regression and add a new in-the-wild VMX file that contains
such a problematic absolute path. Even though this test case won't
protect against new regressions.

Otherwise an attempt to use virConnectOpen or virConnectOpenAuth without
auth pointer results in the driver declining the URI and libvirt falling
back to the remote driver for an esx:// URI.
Some drivers assumed it can be NULL (e.g. qemu and lxc) and check it
before assigning to it, other drivers assumed it must be non-NULL
(e.g. test and esx) and just assigned to it.
Unify this to nparams being optional and document it.
When the session has expired then multiple threads can race while
reestablishing it.
This race condition is not that critical as it requires a special usage
pattern to be triggered. It can only happen when an application doesn't
do API calls for quite some time (the session expires after 30 min
inactivity) and then multiple threads doing simultaneous API calls and
end up doing simultaneous calls to esxVI_EnsureSession.
Change all the driver struct initializers to use the
C99 style, leaving out unused fields. This will make
it possible to add new APIs without changing every
driver. eg change:
qemudDomainResume, /* domainResume */
qemudDomainShutdown, /* domainShutdown */
NULL, /* domainReboot */
qemudDomainDestroy, /* domainDestroy */
to
.domainResume = qemudDomainResume,
.domainShutdown = qemudDomainShutdown,
.domainDestroy = qemudDomainDestroy,
And get rid of any existing C99 style initializersr which
set NULL, eg change
.listPools = vboxStorageListPools,
.numOfDefinedPools = NULL,
.listDefinedPools = NULL,
.findPoolSources = NULL,
.poolLookupByName = vboxStoragePoolLookupByName,
to
.listPools = vboxStorageListPools,
.poolLookupByName = vboxStoragePoolLookupByName,

Several vSphere API methods are called on global objects like the
FileManager, the PerformanceManager or the SearchIndex. The generator
input file allows to mark such methods and the generator generates
such method in a way that automatically handles marked parameter. This
is done by some special macros. Those were manually written and this
patch moves them to the generator.
