QEMU always sends details about all available block devices as an answer
for "info block"/"query-block" command. On the other hand, our
qemuMonitorGetBlockInfo was made for a single block devices queries
only. Thus, when asking for multiple devices, we asked qemu multiple
times to always get the same answer from which different parts were
filtered. This patch makes qemuMonitorGetBlockInfo return a hash table
of all block devices, which may later be used for getting details about
specific devices.
Added a new field "vm-pid" to the VIRT_CONTROL audit record. This information
is useful to correlated another audit events to the events generated by
libvirt.
On RHEL5, I got:
util/virrandom.c:66: warning: nested extern declaration of '_gl_verify_function66' [-Wnested-externs]
The fix is to hoist the verify earlier. Also some other hodge-podge
fixes I noticed while reviewing Dan's recent series.
* .gitignore: Ignore new test.
* src/util/cgroup.c: Bump copyright year.
* src/util/virhash.c: Fix typo in description.
* src/util/virrandom.c (virRandomBits): Mark doc comment, and
hoist assert to silence older gcc.
Recent discussions have illustrated the potential for DOS attacks
with the hash table implementations used by most languages and
libraries.

libvirt has an internal hash table impl, and uses hash tables for
a variety of purposes. The hash key generation code is pretty
simple and thus not strongly collision resistant.
This patch replaces the current libvirt hash key generator with
the (public domain) Murmurhash3 code. In addition every hash
table now gets a random seed value which is used to perturb the
hashing code. This should make it impossible to mount any
practical attack against libvirt hashing code.
* bootstrap.conf: Import bitrotate module
* src/Makefile.am: Add virhashcode.[ch]
* src/util/util.c: Make virRandom() return a fixed 32 bit
integer value.
* src/util/hash.c, src/util/hash.h, src/util/cgroup.c: Replace
hash code generation with a call to virHashCodeGen()
* src/util/virhashcode.h, src/util/virhashcode.c: Add a new
virHashCodeGen() API using the Murmurhash3 algorithm.
In preparation for the patch to include Murmurhash3, which
introduces a virhashcode.h and virhashcode.c files, rename
the existing hash.h and hash.c to virhash.h and virhash.c
respectively.
In preparation for conversion over to use the Murmurhash3
algorithm, convert various virHash APIs to use size_t or
uint32 for their return values/parameters, instead of the
variable size 'unsigned long' or 'int' types
The old virRandom() API was not generating good random numbers.
Replace it with a new API virRandomBits which instead of being
told the upper limit, gets told the number of bits of randomness
required.
* src/util/virrandom.c, src/util/virrandom.h: Add virRandomBits,
and move virRandomInitialize
* src/util/util.h, src/util/util.c: Delete virRandom and
virRandomInitialize
* src/libvirt.c, src/security/security_selinux.c,
src/test/test_driver.c, src/util/iohelper.c: Update for
changes from virRandom to virRandomBits
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.c: Remove bogus call
to virRandomInitialize & convert to virRandomBits
Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been
written, therefore we should support other wiping algorithms.

On F16 at least, empty volume groups don't have a directory under /dev.
The directory only appears once a logical volume is created.
This tickles some behavior in BackendStablePath which ends with
libvirt sleeping for 5 seconds while waiting for the directory to appear.
This causes all sorts of problems for the virStorageVolLookupByPath API
which virtinst uses, even if trying to resolve a path that is independent
of the logical pool.
In reality we don't even need to do that checking since logical pools
always have a stable target path. Short circuit the polling in that
case.
Fixes bug 782261
Systemd detects containers based on whether they have
an environment variable starting with 'container=lxc';
using a longer name fits the expectations, while also
allowing detection of who created the container.
Requested by Lennart Poettering, in response to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45175
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c (lxcContainerBuildInitCmd): Add another
env-var.
The current setup code for LXC is bind mounting /dev/pts/ptmx
on top of a character device /dev/ptmx. This is denied by SELinux
policy and is just wrong. The target of a bind mount should just
be a plain file
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Don't bind /dev/pts/ptmx onto
a char device
Add a virFileTouch API which ensures that a file will always
exist, even if zero length
* src/util/virfile.c, src/util/virfile.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Introduce virFileTouch
Direct boot (using kernel, initrd, and command line) is used by
virt-install/virt-manager for network install. While any bootindex has
no direct effect since -kernel is always first, we need it as a hint for
SeaBIOS to present disks in the same order as they will be presented
during normal boot.
It's better to group all the metadata together. This is a
cosmetic output change; since the RNG allows interleave, it
doesn't matter where the user stuck it on input, and an XPath
query will find the same information when parsing the output.

metadata earlier.

Applications can now insert custom nodes and hierarchies into domain
configuration XML. Although currently not enforced, applications are
required to use their own namespaces on every custom node they insert,
with only one top-level element per namespace.
POLLIN and POLLHUP are not mutually exclusive. Currently the following
seems possible: the child writes 3K to its stdout or stderr pipe, and
immediately closes it. We get POLLIN|POLLHUP (I'm not sure that's possible
on Linux, but SUSv4 seems to allow it). We read 1K and throw away the
rest.
When poll() returns and we're about to check the /revents/ member in a
given array element, let's map all the revents bits to two (independent)
ideas: "let's attempt to read()", and "let's attempt to write()". This
should cover all errors, EOFs, and normal conditions; the read()/write()
call should report any pending error.
Under this approach, both POLLHUP and POLLERR are mapped to "needs read()"
if we're otherwise prepared for POLLIN. POLLERR also maps to "needs
write()" if we're otherwise prepared for POLLOUT. The rest of the mappings
(POLLPRI etc.) would be easy, but probably useless for pipes.
Additionally, SUSv4 doesn't appear to forbid POLLIN|POLLERR (or
POLLOUT|POLLERR) set simultaneously. One could argue that the read() or
write() call would return without blocking in these cases (with an error),
so POLLIN / POLLOUT would be justified beside POLLERR.
The code now penalizes POLLIN|POLLERR differently from plain POLLERR. The
former (ie. read() returning -1) is terminal and we jump to cleanup, while
plain POLLERR masks only the affected file descriptor for the future.
Let's unify those.

This makes use of the QEMU guest agent to implement the
virDomainShutdownFlags and virDomainReboot APIs. With
no flags specified, it will prefer to use the agent, but
fallback to ACPI. Explicit choice can be made by using
a suitable flag
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Wire up use of agent
Add a new API virDomainShutdownFlags and define:
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_DEFAULT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_ACPI_POWER_BTN = (1 << 0),
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_GUEST_AGENT = (1 << 1),
Also define some flags for the reboot API
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_DEFAULT = 0,
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_ACPI_POWER_BTN = (1 << 0),
VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_GUEST_AGENT = (1 << 1),
Although these two APIs currently have the same flags, using
separate enums allows them to expand separately in the future.
Add stub impls of the new API for all existing drivers
There is now a standard QEMU guest agent that can be installed
and given a virtio serial channel
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
The protocol that runs over the guest agent is JSON based and
very similar to the JSON monitor. We can't use exactly the same
code because there are some odd differences in the way messages
and errors are structured. The qemu_agent.c file is based on
a combination and simplification of qemu_monitor.c and
qemu_monitor_json.c
* src/qemu/qemu_agent.c, src/qemu/qemu_agent.h: Support for
talking to the agent for shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add thread
helpers for talking to the agent
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Connect to agent whenever starting
a guest

When converting a linear enum to a string, we have checks in
place in the VIR_ENUM_IMPL macro to ensure that there is one
string for every value, which lets us quickly flag if a user
added a value but forgot to add a counterpart string. However,
this only works if we use the _LAST marker.

* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainSnapshotState): Add new marker.

Although this is a public API break, it only affects users that
were compiling against *_LAST values, and can be trivially
worked around without impacting compilation against older
headers, by the user defining VIR_ENUM_SENTINELS before using
libvirt.h. It is not an ABI break, since enum values do not
appear as .so entry points. Meanwhile, it prevents users from
using non-stable enum values without explicitly acknowledging
the risk of doing so.
See this list discussion:

There was missing capability for blkiotune and thus specifying these
settings caused libvirt to run qemu with invalid parameters and then
reporting qemu error instead of the standard libvirt one. The support
for blkiotune setting was added in upstream qemu repo under commit
0563e191516289c9d2f282a8c50f2eecef2fa773.
Given an LXC guest with a root filesystem path of
/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root
During startup, we will pivot the root filesystem to end up
at
/.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root
We then try to open
/.oldroot/export/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
Now consider if '/export/lxc' is an absolute symlink pointing
to '/media/lxc'. The kernel will try to open
/media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
whereas it should be trying to open
/.oldroot//media/lxc/roots/helloworld/root/dev/pts
To deal with the fact that the root filesystem can be moved,
we need to resolve symlinks in *any* part of the filesystem
source path.
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/util/util.c,
src/util/util.h: Add virFileResolveAllLinks to resolve
all symlinks in a path
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Resolve all symlinks in filesystem
paths during startup
pciTrySecondaryBusReset checks if there is active device on the
same bus, however, qemu driver doesn't maintain an effective
list for the inactive devices, and it passes meaningless argument
for parameter "inactiveDevs". e.g. (qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices)
if (!(pcidevs = qemuGetPciHostDeviceList(hostdevs, nhostdevs)))
return -1;
..skipped...
if (pciResetDevice(dev, driver->activePciHostdevs, pcidevs) < 0)
goto reattachdevs;
NB, the "pcidevs" used above are extracted from domain def, and
thus one won't be able to attach a device of which bus has other
device even detached from host (nodedev-detach). To see more
details of the problem:
RHBZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773667
This patch is to resolve the problem by introducing an inactive
PCI device list (just like qemu_driver->activePciHostdevs), and
the whole logic is:
* Add the device to inactive list during nodedev-dettach
* Remove the device from inactive list during nodedev-reattach
* Remove the device from inactive list during attach-device
(for non-managed device)
* Add the device to inactive list after detach-device, only
if the device is not managed
With the above, we have a sufficient inactive PCI device list, and thus
we can use it for pciResetDevice. e.g.(qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices)
if (pciResetDevice(dev, driver->activePciHostdevs,
driver->inactivePciHostdevs) < 0)
goto reattachdevs;
This introduces new attribute wrpolicy with only supported
value as immediate. This will be an optional
attribute with no defaults. This helps specify whether
to skip the host page cache.
When wrpolicy is specified, meaning when wrpolicy=immediate
a writeback is explicitly initiated for the dirty pages in
the host page cache as part of the guest file write operation.
Usage:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
Currently this only works with type='mount' for the QEMU/KVM driver.

In the past we didn't reserve 0:0:2.0 PCI address if there was no video
device assigned to a domain, which made it impossible to add a video
device later on. So we fixed it (commit v0.9.0-37-g7b2cac1) by always
reserving that address. However, that breaks existing domains without
video devices that already have another device assigned to the
problematic address.
This patch reserves address 0:0:2.0 only in case it was not explicitly
assigned to another device, which means libvirt will try to keep this
address free and will not automatically assign it new devices. But
existing domains for which older libvirt already assigned the address to
a non-video device will keep working as they used to work before 0.9.1.
Moreover, users who want to create a domain without a video device and
use its address for another device may do so by explicitly configuring
the PCI address in domain XML.
