While building under RHEL-5, I got a compile warning because
virDomainObjFormat was defined but not used. That came about
because in RHEL-5 we build with "#define PROXY", and
virDomainObjFormat is only used with !PROXY. Move the
define.

* src/openvz/openvz_conf.c (openvzGetVEID): Always call fclose.
Diagnose parse failure also when vzlist output is empty.
If somehow we read a -1, diagnose that (albeit as a parse failure).
Kind of minor, but it annoys me that the default auth callback
doesn't put a space between the prompt and the input, like a typical
terminal, ssh, etc. This patch changes the current prompt:
Please enter your authentication name:myuser
to
Please enter your authentication name: myuser
From time to time I bork my install, and hate it when the initscript
returns no info. This patch removes the sanity check, which lets
the shell give us 'command not found' or 'permission denied' errors.
If I toggle enable_tcp in libvirtd.conf and add --listen in
/etc/init.d/libvirtd, I get the unhelpful error:
Starting libvirtd daemon: error: Unable to initialize network sockets.
Running without --daemon provides much more useful info:
sudo libvirtd --listen
11:29:26.117: error : remoteCheckCertFile:270 : Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory
The daemon architecture makes it difficult to report this useful
info if daemonized, so point users to /var/log/messages and
dropping the --daemon flag if they want more info.
Only API calls trigger the error callback, which is required for
proper virsh error reporting. Since we use non API functions from
util/, make sure we properly report these errors.
Fixes lack of error message from 'virsh create idontexit.xml'
Add missing rule to build html/libvirt-libvirt.html.
Use a GNU Make pattern rule to avoid running apibuild.py once
for each out-of-date target, in a parallel build.
* docs/Makefile.am
* docs/Makefile.am (libvirt-api.xml libvirt-refs.xml): Generalize
apibuild.py to work in a non-srcdir build. Pass "srcdir" to it.
* docs/apibuild.py (rebuild): Honor the $srcdir envvar.
* docs/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Use this variable
for generated-and-distributed files, not "CLEANFILES".
Besides, "make clean" and "make distclean" should not delete
distributed files.
since we're using gettext-0.14.1, which uses that now-obsolete
automake symbol. Otherwise, make distcheck would fails like this:
make[2]: Entering directory `/t/libvirt-0.7.6/_build/po'
/bin/sh @MKINSTALLDIRS@ /t/libvirt-0.7.6/_inst/share
/bin/sh: @MKINSTALLDIRS@: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127
* configure.ac (MKINSTALLDIRS): Define.
For reference, we're currently hamstrung by our desire
to support RHEL5, which still uses gettext-0.14:

Requiring git 1.6.4, just for the optional GNULIB_SRCDIR support,
was too harsh. Resynchronize from gnulib.
* .gnulib: Import from latest gnulib.
* bootstrap: Re-synchronize from .gnulib/build-aux.
* bootstrap.conf: Drop git to 1.5.5.
* README-hacking: Document use of GNULIB_SRCDIR.
In bug 567931 we found that virt-top would exit occasionally
when the terminal window was resized. Tracking this down it
turned out that SIGWINCH was being delivered to the process at
exactly the point where the libvirt remote driver was calling
poll(2) waiting for a reply from libvirtd.
This caused the poll(2) call to be interrupted (returning errno
EINTR). However handling EINTR the same way as EAGAIN was not
the solution to this problem since we found previously that this
would break Ctrl-C handling (commit 47fec8eac2).
The correct solution is to mask out SIGWINCH for the duration
of the poll(2) system call. The per-thread mask is changed and
restored immediately after the call. Since we are using
pthread_sigmask, this should not affect other threads, and
since we restore the signal mask immediately afterwards it should
not affect the current thread visibly either. Other possibly
problematic signals are SIGCHLD and SIGPIPE and these are
masked too.
Note use of ignore_value: It's not fatal if we cannot mask out
SIGWINCH, and in any case pthread_sigmask never fails on Linux
as long as you supply the correct arguments.
I tested this patch and it cures the original problem with
virt-top.
Create the filesystem on the partition used by the pool
* configure.ac: check for mkfs availability
* libvirt.spec.in: add extra require on util-linux for mkfs
* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c: run mkfs with the expected
fs type when creating a filesystem pool
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.
Borrow ideas from gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap, in order to factor the
specifics of libvirt into bootstrap.conf, while allowing future
upgrades of bootstrap to happen with less effort.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Update invocation to be closer to
gnulib's version. Move libvirt specifics...
* bootstrap.conf: ...into new file.
We were using 'Y' to mean exabyte, when the correct abbreviation would be
'E' ('Y' is yettabyte, which is exabyte * 1024 * 1024). While it isn't
strictly backwards compatible, I highly doubt anyone was actually using
this broken behavior, so I don't see any harm in in dropping 'Y' handling.
Recently we introduced O_DSYNC flag when creating raw storage files to
avoid filling all disk cache with dirty pages. However, the patch got
lost when virStorageBackendCreateRaw was reworked using
virFileOperation. Let's use O_DSYNC again.
The daemon-conf test would fail on my system if there was a system libvirtd
running. In the course of troubleshooting that problem, I discovered that the
daemon-conf script would always fail if run by itself because it found the line:
\# that each "PARAMETER = VALUE" line in this file have the parameter
which it mistook for a line containing a parameter. I have changed the test to
avoid mistaking a line containing \"PARAMETER = VALUE\" for a parameter line.
The corrupted config tests turned out to be failing because the test daemon was
discovering the pid file from the running daemon and exiting before it processed
the test config file. Specifying the pid file for the corrupt config tests in
the same way as for the valid config test solved that problem.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainSetAutostart): Avoid a NULL
dereference upon non-SEXPR_VALUE'd on_xend_start. This bug was
introduced by commit 37ce5600c0.
There were a few operations on the storage volume file that were still
being done as root, which will fail if the file is on a root-squashed
NFS share. The result was that attempts to create a storage volume of
type "raw" on a root-squashed NFS share would fail.
This patch uses the newly introduced "hook" function in
virFileOperation to execute all those file operations in the child
process that's run under the uid that owns the file (and, presumably,
has permission to write to the NFS share)
* src/storage/storage_backend.c: use virFileOperation() in
virStorageBackendCreateRaw, turning virStorageBackendCreateRaw()
into a new createRawFileOpHook() hook
