Libvirt is really chatty when the DEBUG log level is enabled. When a
host uses journald we'd enable debug logging to journald when only
specifying the debug log level. As journald may employ rate throttling
this would lock up the daemon until it's able to flush all debug
messages.
This patch changes the default log level to VIR_LOG_INFO when using the
default (unconfigured) log output to journald.
To still allow debug logging to journald the user now has to explicitly
specify journald as a log output with priority 1 in the "log_outputs"
configuration option. This patch also changes the config file template
to be explicit about this change and notify the user about the possible
consequence of debug logging into journald.

A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

Noticed a misuse of 'to' while testing my event regression under
polkit ACLs, and decided to review the entire conf files for
other legibility bugs.
* daemon/libvirtd.conf: Use correct grammar.
* src/qemu/qemu.conf: Likewise.

This configuration knob lets user to set the length of queue of
connection requests waiting to be accept()-ed by the daemon. IOW, it
just controls the @backlog passed to listen:
int listen(int sockfd, int backlog);
Add an access control driver that uses the pkcheck command
to check authorization requests. This is fairly inefficient,
particularly for cases where an API returns a list of objects
and needs to check permission for each object.
It would be desirable to use the polkit API but this links
to glib with abort-on-OOM behaviour, so can't be used. The
other alternative is to speak to dbus directly

Add a new 'access_drivers' config parameter to the libvirtd.conf
configuration file. This allows admins to setup the default
access control drivers to use for API authorization. The same
driver is to be used by all internal drivers & APIs

Instead of doing
# example_config
use
#example_config
so it is possible to programatically uncomment example config
options, as distinct from their comment/descriptions
Also delete rogue trailing comma not allowed by lens

* Don't advertise information on the network without consent of
the user, either through manual configuration, or a user
interface that drives this option.
* Since libvirtd must be configured for network access anyway
(for all but ssh), this setting was not useful "out of the box",
so changing this default setting does not remove "out of the box"
functionality.
This patch annotates APIs with low or high priority.
In low set MUST be all APIs which might eventually access monitor
(and thus block indefinitely). Other APIs may be marked as high
priority. However, some must be (e.g. domainDestroy).
For high priority calls (HPC), there are some high priority workers
(HPW) created in the pool. HPW can execute only HPC, although normal
worker can process any call regardless priority. Therefore, only those
APIs which are guaranteed to end in reasonable small amount of time
can be marked as HPC.
The size of this HPC pool is static, because HPC are expected to end
quickly, therefore jobs assigned to this pool will be served quickly.
It can be configured in libvirtd.conf via prio_workers variable.
Default is set to 5.
To mark API with low or high priority, append priority:{low|high} to
it's comment in src/remote/remote_protocol.x. This is similar to
autogen|skipgen. If not marked, the generator assumes low as default.
When libvirtd starts it it will sanity check its own certs,
and before libvirt clients connect to a remote server they
will sanity check their own certs. This patch allows such
sanity checking to be skipped. There is no strong reason to
need to do this, other than to bypass possible libvirt bugs
in sanity checking, or for testing purposes.
libvirt.conf gains tls_no_sanity_certificate parameter to
go along with tls_no_verify_certificate. The remote driver
client URIs gain a no_sanity URI parameter
* daemon/test_libvirtd.aug, daemon/libvirtd.conf,
daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.aug: Add parameter to
allow cert sanity checks to be skipped
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Add no_sanity parameter to

This is the part allowing to dynamically resize the debug log
buffer from it's default 64kB size. The buffer is now dynamically
allocated.
It adds a new API virLogSetBufferSize() which resizes the buffer
If passed a zero size, the buffer is deallocated and we do the small
optimization of not formatting messages which are not output anymore.
On the daemon side, it just adds a new option log_buffer_size to
libvirtd.conf and call virLogSetBufferSize() if needed
* src/util/logging.h src/util/logging.c src/libvirt_private.syms:
make buffer dynamic and add virLogSetBufferSize() internal API
* daemon/libvirtd.conf: document the new log_buffer_size option
* daemon/libvirtd.c: read and use the new log_buffer_size option
Integrate with libaudit.so for auditing of important operations.
libvirtd gains a couple of config entries for auditing. By
default it will enable auditing, if its enabled on the host.
It can be configured to force exit if auditing is disabled
on the host. It will can also send audit messages via libvirt
internal logging API
Places requiring audit reporting can use the VIR_AUDIT
macro to report data. This is a no-op unless auditing is
enabled
* autobuild.sh, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Disable audit
on mingw
* configure.ac: Add check for libaudit
* daemon/libvirtd.aug, daemon/libvirtd.conf,
daemon/test_libvirtd.aug, daemon/libvirtd.c: Add config
options to enable auditing
* include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/util/virterror.c: Add
VIR_FROM_AUDIT source
* libvirt.spec.in: Enable audit
* src/util/virtaudit.h, src/util/virtaudit.c: Simple internal
API for auditing messages
Allow for a host UUID in the capabilities XML. Local drivers
will initialize this from the SMBIOS data. If a sanity check
shows SMBIOS uuid is invalid, allow an override from the
libvirtd.conf configuration file
* daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.conf: Support a host_uuid
configuration option
* docs/schemas/capability.rng: Add optional host uuid field
* src/conf/capabilities.c, src/conf/capabilities.h: Include
