ead76d2ac7 syntax-check: Introduce a rule for one line error messages
Okay, this is a shortcut. Our coding style says that error
messages are exempt from '80 chars long lines' rule. But in the
very same paragraph it is said that all error messages need to be
marked for translation (as they might be presented to user).

Therefore, the syntax-check rule can check if _("...") is
formatted on one line. With exception of _("...\n" ...) (e.g.
various outputs from helper binaries like leaseshelper,
sshhelper, or daemons like lockd, logd). I believe nobody would
chose a substring that contains '\n' for git grep-ping the error
message.

fc216db4fb tests: Introduce viracpitest
Introduce a test that checks newly introduced virAcpi module.
There are three IORT tables from a real HW (IORT_ampere,
IORT_gigabyte and IORT_qualcomm), then there's one from a VM
(IORT_virt_aarch64) and one that I handcrafted to be empty
(IORT_empty).

35ad5e85dd build: Add checks for permutable format strings
Since all messages marked for translation contain permutable format
strings, we can add checks for enforcing them.

The syntax check does not catch all cases as it only checks format
strings between _(" and the first ". In other words messages where \"
appears before the first format string or multi-line messages where the
first format strings is not in the first line will not be checked. On
the other hand, it's run automatically by "meson test".

check-pot.py python script will detect all incorrect format strings, but
it's not as easy to use as it requires libvirt.pot to be regenerated and
this does not happen during a standard build. The following steps are
needed to check messages with check-pot.py:

    meson compile libvirt-pot-dep
    meson compile libvirt-pot
    meson compile libvirt-pot-check

Don't forget to revert changes to libvirt.pot if you run these commands
locally as we don't want each patch series to update libvirt.pot.

Shell scripts (tools/libvirt-guests.sh.in is the only one currently)
need to be exempt from this check as shell's printf function does not
understand the permutable format strings.

70983f4f53 vbox: Introduce vboxReportError()
When a VirtualBox API fails it produced an exception. Until now,
we did not have correct APIs wired up to get the exception and
its error message. Thus, we were left with plain:

  virReportError("virtualbox API failed, rc=%08x", rc);

This is not very user friendly because those rc values are hard
to parse (e.g. some values are defined as a sum of a base value
and some other value) and also it expects users to know where to
look.

But now that we have all machinery needed for querying
exceptions, vboxReportError() can be introduced. The aim is to
query VirtualBox exceptions and append them after the error
message we intent to report. If the exception can't be queried
successfully, this behaves exactly like virReportError().

83c6d80abc tools: add virt-qemu-qmp-proxy for proxying QMP via libvirt QEMU guests
Libvirt provides QMP passthrough APIs for the QEMU driver and these are
exposed in virsh. It is not especially pleasant, however, using the raw
QMP JSON syntax. QEMU has a tool 'qmp-shell' which can speak QMP and
exposes a human friendly interactive shell. It is not possible to use
this with libvirt managed guest, however, since only one client can
attach to the QMP socket at any point in time. While it would be
possible to configure a second QMP socket for a VM, it may not be
an known requirement at the time the guest is provisioned.

The virt-qmp-proxy tool aims to solve this problem. It opens a UNIX
socket and listens for incoming client connections, speaking QMP on
the connected socket. It will forward any QMP commands received onto
the running libvirt QEMU guest, and forward any replies back to the
QMP client. It will also forward back events.

  $ virsh start demo
  $ virt-qmp-proxy demo demo.qmp &
  $ qmp-shell demo.qmp
  Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
  Connected to QEMU 6.2.0

  (QEMU) query-kvm
  {
      "return": {
          "enabled": true,
          "present": true
      }
  }

Note this tool of course has the same risks as the raw libvirt
QMP passthrough. It is safe to run query commands to fetch information
but commands which change the QEMU state risk disrupting libvirt's
management of QEMU, potentially resulting in data loss/corruption in
the worst case. Any use of this tool will cause the guest to be marked
as tainted as an warning that it could be in an unexpected state.

Since this tool introduces a python dependency it is not desirable
to include it in any of the existing RPMs in libvirt. This tool is
also QEMU specific, so isn't appropriate to bundle with the generic
tools. Thus a new RPM is introduced 'libvirt-clients-qemu', to
contain additional QEMU specific tools, with extra external deps.

7f463b4c0d nss: Compare hostname case insensitive
There are some tools that convert hostname to lowercase before
resolving it (e.g. ssh). In a way it makes sense because DNS is
case insensitive and in case of ssh the lowercase version is then
used to find matching record in its config file. However, our NSS
module performs case sensitive comparison, which makes it useless
with ssh. Just consider a machine named FooBar.

Therefore, switch to case insensitive string comparison.

ab305ad5ca syntax-check: Simplify VC_LIST_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE_REGEX
Most of the pattern is no longer relevant, because the files it
was intended to match have been dropped from the repository.

Specifically:

               files        commit        date
  ------------------  ------------  ----------
               *.gif  6cb131e5cb  2022-01-19

        docs/*.patch  6be034a8c0  2018-08-23

We can also avoid having a fallback value for the pattern: that
made sense when the implementation was coming from gnulib, as
they wouldn't be able to know in advance if the user would need
to provide their own exclude patterns, but that scenario is no
longer relevant to us.

Commit 8beb7fdd0e changed the handling of POTFILES so that it
could cope with files being located in either the source or build
directory: it did so by adding @SRCDIR@ and @BUILDDIR@
respectively at the beginning of each line, and then converting
them back to the actual values when generating POTFILES from
POTFILES.in.

Later, commit c6a0d3ff8b started passing --directory to
xgettext, which resulted in the tool being able to locate files
regardless of whether they are in the source or build directory.
However, @SRCDIR@ and @BUILDDIR@ were still added to POTFILES.in
only to be stripped when generating POTFILES.

Simplify things by not storing information that we know we're
going to discard later.

Our code is inherantly racy, calling g_source_destroy which
removes the FD from the event thread poll asynchronously but
we close the FD immediately after g_source_destroy returns.

With poll() this results in POLLNVAL which we're ignoring, but
with select() it generates the BADF error on macOS.

We need to ignore the warnings on macOS to avoid abort()ing

Instead of listing the sites that surely support HTTPS,
list the ones that don't.

ebd796b811 syntax-check: Fix regex for sc_require_attribute_cleanup_initialization
When I was cleaning up the regex after we removed most of our custom
autofree helpers I've forgot to delete one closing brace, thus the regex
was not matching anything.

59c1bc3a0e Add a PCI/PCIe device VPD Parser
Add support for deserializing the binary PCI/PCIe VPD format and storing
results in memory.

The VPD format is specified in "I.3. VPD Definitions" in PCI specs
(2.2+) and "6.28.1 VPD Format" PCIe 4.0. As section 6.28 in PCIe 4.0
notes, the PCI Local Bus and PCIe VPD formats are binary compatible
and PCIe 4.0 merely started incorporating what was already present in
PCI specs.

Linux kernel exposes a binary blob in the VPD format via sysfs since
v2.6.26 (commit 94e6108803469a37ee1e3c92dafdd1d59298602f) which requires
a parser to interpret.
