[forwarding this here from RH bug #796732]
When creating a network (virsh net-create) with an erroneous XML
containing an empty <name> element, the error message is misleading:
error: Failed to create network from foo.xml
error: missing domain name information
It took me a bit of time to figure out that it was the *network* name
that was missing (I generate this xml and didn't look at it, first).
I realized that the same message is used for missing name when creating
a domain, network, or device node.
* src/util/virfile.h: the virFileWrapperFdFlags being defined as
a globa variable instead of a type ended up generating a duplicate
symbol error.

This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr

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.
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.

Earlier, when the number of vcpus was greater than the topology allowed,
libvirt didn't raise an error and continued, resulting in running qemu
with parameters making no sense. Even though qemu did not report any
error itself, the number of vcpus was set to maximum allowed by the
topology.
QEMU does not support security_model for anything but 'path' fs driver type.
Currently in libvirt, when security_model ( accessmode attribute) is not
specified it auto-generates it irrespective of the fs driver type, which
can result in a qemu error for drivers other than path. This patch ensures
that the qemu cmdline is correctly generated by taking into account the
fs driver type.

To add support for running libvirt on PowerPC, a CPU driver for the
PowerPC platform must be added.
Most generic cpu driver routines such as CPU compare, decode, etc
are based on CPUID comparison and are not relevant for non-x86
platforms.
Here, we introduce stubs for relevant PowerPC routines invoked by libvirt.

This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
This patch adds XML definitions for guest NUMA specification and contains
routines to parse the same. The guest NUMA specification looks like this:
<cpu>
...
<topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='2'/>
<numa>
<cell cpus='0-7' memory='512000'/>
<cell cpus='8-15' memory='512000'/>
</numa>
...
</cpu>

This refactors the TAP creation code out of brAddTap into a new
function brCreateTap to allow it to be used on its own. I have also
changed ifSetInterfaceMac to brSetInterfaceMac and exported it since
it is will be needed by code outside of util/bridge.c in the next
patch.
