26ae4e482a Remove src/nodeinfo
There is no "node driver" as there was before, drivers have to do
their own ACL checking anyway, so they all specify their functions and
nodeinfo is basically just extending conf/capablities.  Hence moving
the code to src/conf/ is the right way to go.

Also that way we can de-duplicate some code that is in virsysfs and/or
virhostcpu that got duplicated during the virhostcpu.c split.  And
Some cleanup is done throughout the changes, like adding the vir*
prefix etc.

5bcbf72415 tests: command: Fix build on ppc64/aarch64
Commit ca10bb040f introduced a new test that fails to build
on at least some architectures:

  commandtest.c: In function 'test25':
  commandtest.c:1121:5: error: comparison is always true due to
                        limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits]
    if (rv >= 0) {
    ^

Change the type of 'rv' from char to int, which is the proper
return type for virCommandExec() anyway.

e38264f310 Coverity: Resolve a FORWARD_NULL
Recent changes in the module seemed to have caused Coverity to reanalyze
certain parts of the code. Previously the code was modified via commit
id '11a11812' to resolve a different error (perhaps DEADCODE).  Up through
commit id '7b3f1f8c' there were no issues.

The new error indicats the 'outbuf' was checked for NULL and then complains
because of the dereference. Adding checks for non-NULL prior to the deref
resulted in a DEADCODE message.

So, resolve using an sa_assert() to keep Coverity quiet especially since
it doesn't understand that outbuf will change as a result of a successful
virCommandRun() call.

25f87817ab virFork: simplify semantics
The old semantics of virFork() violates the priciple of good
usability: it requires the caller to check the pid argument
after use, *even when virFork returned -1*, in order to properly
abort a child process that failed setup done immediately after
fork() - that is, the caller must call _exit() in the child.
While uses in virfile.c did this correctly, uses in 'virsh
lxc-enter-namespace' and 'virt-login-shell' would happily return
from the calling function in both the child and the parent,
leading to very confusing results. [Thankfully, I found the
problem by inspection, and can't actually trigger the double
return on error without an LD_PRELOAD library.]

It is much better if the semantics of virFork are impossible
to abuse.  Looking at virFork(), the parent could only ever
return -1 with a non-negative pid if it misused pthread_sigmask,
but this never happens.  Up until this patch series, the child
could return -1 with non-negative pid if it fails to set up
signals correctly, but we recently fixed that to make the child
call _exit() at that point instead of forcing the caller to do
it.  Thus, the return value and contents of the pid argument are
now redundant (a -1 return now happens only for failure to fork,
a child 0 return only happens for a successful 0 pid, and a
parent 0 return only happens for a successful non-zero pid),
so we might as well return the pid directly rather than an
integer of whether it succeeded or failed; this is also good
from the interface design perspective as users are already
familiar with fork() semantics.

One last change in this patch: before returning the pid directly,
I found cases where using virProcessWait unconditionally on a
cleanup path of a virFork's -1 pid return would be nicer if there
were a way to avoid it overwriting an earlier message.  While
such paths are a bit harder to come by with my change to a direct
pid return, I decided to keep the virProcessWait change in this
patch.

* src/util/vircommand.c (virFork): Guarantee that child will only
return on success, to simplify callers.  Return pid rather than

b9dd878ff8 util: make it easier to grab only regular command exit
Auditing all callers of virCommandRun and virCommandWait that
passed a non-NULL pointer for exit status turned up some
interesting observations.  Many callers were merely passing
a pointer to avoid the overall command dying, but without
caring what the exit status was - but these callers would
be better off treating a child death by signal as an abnormal
exit.  Other callers were actually acting on the status, but
not all of them remembered to filter by WIFEXITED and convert
with WEXITSTATUS; depending on the platform, this can result
in a status being reported as 256 times too big.  And among
those that correctly parse the output, it gets rather verbose.
Finally, there were the callers that explicitly checked that
the status was 0, and gave their own message, but with fewer
details than what virCommand gives for free.

So the best idea is to move the complexity out of callers and
into virCommand - by default, we return the actual exit status
already cleaned through WEXITSTATUS and treat signals as a
failed command; but the few callers that care can ask for raw
status and act on it themselves.

c72e76c3d9 util: make it easier to grab only regular process exit
Right now, a caller waiting for a child process either requires
the child to have status 0, or must use WIFEXITED() and friends
itself.  But in many cases, we want the middle ground of treating
fatal signals as an error, and directly accessing the normal exit
value without having to use WEXITSTATUS(), in order to easily
detect an expected non-zero exit status.  This adds the middle
ground to the low-level virProcessWait; the next patch will add
it to virCommand.

631923e7f2 virFork: give specific status on failure prior to exec
When a child fails without exec'ing, we want a well-known status;
best is to match what env(1), nice(1), su(1), and other wrapper
programs do.  This patch adds enum values that later patches will
use, and sets up virFork as the first client of EXIT_CANCELED
for errors detected prior to even attempting exec, as well as
virExec to distinguish between a missing executable vs. a binary
that cannot be executed.

This is a slight semantic change in the unlikely case of a child
process failing to restore its signal mask - we now kill the
child with a known status instead of relying on the caller to
notice and do an appropriate _exit().  A subsequent patch will
make further cleanups based on an audit of all callers.

* src/internal.h (EXIT_CANCELED, EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE)
(EXIT_ENOENT): New enum.
* src/util/vircommand.c (virFork): Document specific exit value if
child aborts early.

ab8692b639 Fix coverity complain in commandtest.c
For a "newfd1" the coverity tools thinks that the fd is closed in

The code itself is ok, but coverity tool thinks that there is

we simply add a comment before the proper close.

858c2476d9 command: avoid deadlock on EPIPE situation
It is possible to deadlock libvirt by having a domain with XML
longer than PIPE_BUF, and by writing a hook script that closes
stdin early.  This is because libvirt was keeping a copy of the
child's stdin read fd open, which means the write fd in the
parent will never see EPIPE (remember, libvirt should always be
run with SIGPIPE ignored, so we should never get a SIGPIPE signal).
Since there is no error, libvirt blocks waiting for a write to
complete, even though the only reader is also libvirt.  The
solution is to ensure that only the child can act as a reader
before the parent does any writes; and then dealing with the
fallout of dealing with EPIPE.

Thankfully, this is not a security hole - since the only way to
trigger the deadlock is to install a custom hook script, anyone
that already has privileges to install a hook script already has
privileges to do any number of other equally disruptive things
to libvirt; it would only be a security hole if an unprivileged
user could install a hook script to DoS a privileged user.

sed -i -e                                                                 \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'

Then checked for nonsense.

The whole command looks like this:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' |             \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$' | xargs sed -i -e                            \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'

c9ace552eb command: allow merging stdout and stderr in string capture
Sometimes, its easier to run children with 2>&1 in shell notation,
and just deal with stdout and stderr interleaved.  This was already
possible for fd handling; extend it to also work when doing string
capture of a child process.

* docs/internals/command.html.in: Document this.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandSetErrorBuffer): Likewise.
(virCommandRun, virExecWithHook): Implement it.
* tests/commandtest.c (test14): Test it.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteDispatchAuthPolkit): Use new command
feature.

74ff57506c tests: avoid test failure on rawhide gnutls
I hit a VERY weird testsuite failure on rawhide, which included
_binary_ output to stderr, followed by a hang waiting for me
to type something! (Here, using ^@ for NUL):

$ ./commandtest
TEST: commandtest
      WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't send data: Bad file descriptor
.WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't send data: Bad file descriptor
.WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't send data: Bad file descriptor
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't send data: Bad file descriptor
.8^@^@^@8^@^@^@^A^@^@^@^Bay^A^@^@^@)PRIVATE-GNOME-KEYRING-PKCS11-PROTOCOL-V-1

I finally traced it to the fact that gnome-keyring, called via
gnutls_global_init which is turn called by virNetTLSInit, opens
an internal fd that it expects to communicate to via a
pthread_atfork handler (never mind that it violates POSIX by
using non-async-signal-safe functions in that handler:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772320).

Our problem stems from the fact that we pulled the rug out from
under the library's expectations by closing an fd that it had
just opened.  While we aren't responsible for fixing the bugs
in that pthread_atfork handler, we can at least avoid the bugs
by not closing the fd in the first place.

* tests/commandtest.c (mymain): Avoid closing fds that were opened
by virInitialize.
