popen must be matched with pclose (not fclose), or it will leak
resources. Furthermore, it is a lousy interface when it comes to
signal handling. We're much better off using our decent command
wrapper. Note that virCommand guarantees that VIR_FREE(outbuf) is
both required and safe to call, whether virCommandRun succeeded or
failed.
* src/openvz/openvz_conf.c (openvzLoadDomains, openvzGetVEID):
Replace popen with virCommand usage.
Guarantee that outbuf/errbuf are allocated on success, even if to the
empty string. Caller always has to free the result, and empty output
check requires checking if *outbuf=='\0'. Makes the API easier to use
safely. Failure is best effort allocation (some paths, like
out-of-memory, cannot allocate a buffer, but most do), so caller must
free buffer on failure.
* docs/internals/command.html.in: Update documentation.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandSetOutputBuffer)
(virCommandSetErrorBuffer, virCommandProcessIO) Guarantee empty
string on no output.
* tests/commandtest.c (test17): New test.
* docs/internals/command.html.in: Better documentation of buffer
vs. fd considerations.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandRunAsync): Reject raw execution
with string io.
(virCommandRun): Reject execution with user-specified fds not
visiting a regular file.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDefParseXML): Prefer sysinfo
uuid over generating one, and if both uuids are present, require
them to be identical.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuBuildSmbiosSystemStr): Allow skipping
the uuid.
(qemudBuildCommandLine): Adjust caller; <smbios mode=host/> must
not use host uuid in place of guest uuid.
The log lists things like -smbios type=1,vendor="Red Hat", which
is great for shell parsing, but not so great when you realize that
execve() then passes those literal "" on as part of the command
line argument, such that qemu sets SMBIOS with extra literal quotes.
The eventual addition of virCommand is needed before we have the API
to shell-quote a string representation of a command line, so that the
log can still be pasted into a shell, but without inserting extra
bytes into the execve() arguments.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemuBuildSmbiosBiosStr)
(qemuBuildSmbiosSystemStr): Qemu doesn't like quotes around uuid
arguments, and the remaining quotes are passed literally to
smbios, making <smbios mode='host'/> inaccurate. Removing the
quotes makes the log harder to parse, but that can be fixed later
with virCommand improvements.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smbios.args: 'Fix' test; it
will need fixing again once virCommand learns how to shell-quote a
potential command line.
Humans consider January as month #1, while gmtime_r(3) calls it month #0.
While fixing it, render qemu's rtc parameter with leading zeros, as is more
commonplace.

When libvirt-guests is being stopped, I get the following message:
$Running guests on default URI: test-vm
$Suspending guests on default URI...

"virCommandRun": if "cmd->outbuf" or "cmd->errbuf" is NULL,
libvirtd will be crashed when trying to start a qemu domain
(which invokes "virCommandRun"), it caused by we try to use
"*cmd->outbuf" and "*cmd->errbuf" regardless of cmd->outbuf
or cmd->errbuf is NULL.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandRun)
Two more calls to remote libvirtd have to be surrounded by
qemuDomainObjEnterRemoteWithDriver() and
qemuDomainObjExitRemoteWithDriver() to prevent possible deadlock between
two communicating libvirt daemons.
See commit f0c8e1cb37 for further details.
virDrvSupportsFeature API is allowed to return -1 on error while all but
one uses of VIR_DRV_SUPPORTS_FEATURE only check for (non)zero return
value. Let's make this macro return zero on error, which is what
everyone expects anyway.
Remove the optional option "group", as cmdHelp should accepts
only one option ("virsh help" supports both command and command
group now, and user rarely uses the options, so it doesn't matter
much for it being longer, :-)
* tools/virsh.c
This patch adds a mode_t parameter to virFileWriteStr().
If mode is different from 0, virFileWriteStr() will try
to create the file if it doesn't exist.

This proof of concept shows how two existing uses of virExec
and virRun can be ported to the new virCommand APIs, and how
much simpler the code becomes
This introduces a new set of APIs in src/util/command.h
to use for invoking commands. This is intended to replace
all current usage of virRun and virExec variants, with a
more flexible and less error prone API.
* src/util/command.c: New file.

This patch allows for using custom scripts instead of /usr/bin/qemu
emulator in domain XML. To do so, one would specify relative path to the
custom script in <emulator/>. The path needs to be relative to
qemuxml2argvdata directory and it will be transparently made absolute in
runtime. The expected command line needs to contain the exact relative
path as was used in domain XML.
The problem is RelaxNG schema for domain XML only allows for absolute
path within <emulator/>. To workaround it, an extra '/' must be added at
the beginning of the path. That is, instead of "./qemu.sh" or
"../emulator/qemu.sh" one would use "/./qemu.sh" or
"/../emulator/qemu.sh". The extra slash is removed before further
processing. I don't like this workaround, it's very ugly but it's the
best option I was able to come up with. Relaxing domain XML schema is
not an option IMO.
* tools/virsh.c (virsh shouldn't use 'phy' as the disk driver if
user doesn't specify "--driver", it causes bugs, as not all of
hypervisor driver supports 'phy', and actually hypervisor should
known the correct default disk driver and subdriver, so remove it)
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (though MACROS QEMU_VNC_PORT_MAX, and
QEMU_VNC_PORT_MIN are defined at the beginning, numbers (65535, 5900)
are still used, replace them)
The arguments passed to the thread function must be allocated on
the heap, rather than the stack, since it is possible for the
spawning thread to continue before the new thread runs at all.
In such a case, it is possible that the area of stack where the
thread args were stored is overwritten.
* src/util/threads-pthread.c, src/util/threads-win32.c: Allocate
thread arguments on the heap
