2cd9093543 doc: Add Maven repository to Java bindings documentation
Getting a artifact into Maven central has a lot of restrictions as
where the artifact should be hosted.

This seemed like a big hassle which we don't want to go through now.

Document a way for users to use libvirt.org as a repository so they can
fetch the Java bindings with maven.

5090c576e3 Add a ./run script for running programs from the local directory.
With this script you can run libvirt programs without needing to
install them first.  You just have to do for example:

  ./run ./tools/virsh [args ...]

If you are already in the tools/ subdirectory, then the following
command will also work:

  ../run ./virsh [...]

You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this:

  ./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./program

or under gdb:

  ./run gdb --args ./program

This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt):

  sudo ./run ./tools/virsh list --all

Derived from libguestfs and simplified.  The ./run script in
libguestfs is much more sophisticated:

ef1e024df8 blockjob: add virDomainBlockCommit
A block commit moves data in the opposite direction of block pull.
Block pull reduces the chain length by dropping backing files after
data has been pulled into the top overlay, and is always safe; block
commit reduces the chain length by dropping overlays after data has
been committed into the backing file, and any files that depended
on base but not on top are invalidated at any point where they have
unallocated data that is now pointing to changed contents in base.
Both directions are useful, however: a qcow2 layer that is more than
50% allocated will typically be faster with a pull operation, while
a qcow2 layer with less than 50% allocation will be faster as a
commit operation.  Committing across multiple layers can be more
efficient than repeatedly committing one layer at a time, but
requires extra support from the hypervisor.

This API matches Jeff Cody's proposed qemu command 'block-commit':
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02226.html

Jeff's command is still in the works for qemu 1.3, and may gain
further enhancements, such as the ability to control on-error
handling (it will be comparable to the error handling Paolo is
adding to 'drive-mirror', so a similar solution will be needed
when I finally propose virDomainBlockCopy with more functionality
than the basics supported by virDomainBlockRebase).  However, even
without qemu support, this API will be useful for _offline_ block
commits, by wrapping qemu-img calls and turning them into a block
job, so this API is worth committing now.

For some examples of how this will be implemented, all starting
with the chain: base <- snap1 <- snap2 <- active

+ These are equivalent:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "active", 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", NULL, 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "base", "active", 0, 0)
but cannot be implemented for online qemu with round 1 of
Jeff's patches; and for offline images, it would require
three back-to-back qemu-img invocations unless qemu-img
is patched to allow more efficient multi-layer commits;
the end result would be 'base' as the active disk with
contents from all three other files, where 'snap1' and
'snap2' are invalid right away, and 'active' is invalid
once any further changes to 'base' are made.

+ These are equivalent:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, 0)
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, NULL, 0, _SHALLOW)
they cannot be implemented for online qemu, but for offline,
it is a matter of 'qemu-img commit active', so that 'snap2'
is now the active disk with contents formerly in 'active'.

+ Similarly:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, "snap2", NULL, 0, _DELETE)
for an offline domain will merge 'active' into 'snap2', then
delete 'active' to avoid leaving a potentially invalid file
around.

+ This version:
 virDomainBlockCommit(dom, disk, NULL, "snap2", 0, _SHALLOW)
can be implemented online with 'block-commit' passing a base of
snap1 and a top of snap2; and can be implemented offline by
'qemu-img commit snap2' followed by 'qemu-img rebase -u
-b snap1 active'

7038322991 docs: point out git send-email location, be more stern about make check
An email came to libvir-list wondering why the git send-email command
was missing in spite of having git installed; this is due to the
send-email command being in a sub-package of the main git package.

While touching the hacking file, I thought it would be useful to 1)

message at the top of HACKING, and also to make the note about running
"make check" and "make syntax-check" a bit more stern.

72f1f2206e Rename iolimit to blockio.
After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit
element as it creates the impression it would be there to
limit (i.e. throttle) I/O instead of specifying immutable
characteristics of a block device.
This is also backed by the fact that the term I/O Limits has
vanished from newer storage admin documentation.

3f9274a524 conf: add <vlan> element to network and domain interface elements
The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:

within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>

Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements.  If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.

Some examples:

  <interface type='hostdev'/>
    <vlan>
      <tag id='42'/>
    </vlan>
    <mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>
    ...
  </interface>

  <network>
    <name>vlan-net</name>
    <vlan trunk='yes'>
      <tag id='30'/>
    </vlan>
    <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
  </network>

  <interface type='network'/>
    <source network='vlan-net'/>
    ...
  </interface>

  <network>
    <name>trunk-vlan</name>
    <vlan>
      <tag id='42'/>
      <tag id='43'/>
    </vlan>
    ...
  </network>

  <network>
    <name>multi</name>
    ...
    <portgroup name='production'/>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='42'/>
      </vlan>
    </portgroup>
    <portgroup name='test'/>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='666'/>
      </vlan>
    </portgroup>
  </network>

  <interface type='network'/>
    <source network='multi' portgroup='test'/>
    ...
  </interface>

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)

300bcdb63b network: add connections counter to networks
Just as each physical device used by a network has a connections

incremented once for each guest interface that connects using this
network.

The count is output in the live network XML, like this:

It is read-only, and for informational purposes only - it isn't used

6a3691b743 network: merge relevant virtualports rather than choosing one
One of the original ideas behind allowing a <virtualport> in an
interface definition as well as in the <network> definition *and*one
or more <portgroup>s within the network, was that guest-specific
parameteres (like instanceid and interfaceid) could be given in the
interface's virtualport, and more general things (portid, managerid,
etc) could be given in the network and/or portgroup, with all the bits
brought together at guest startup time and combined into a single
virtualport to be used by the guest. This was somehow overlooked in
the implementation, though - it simply picks the "most specific"
virtualport, and uses the entire thing, with no attempt to merge in
details from the others.

This patch uses virNetDevVPortProfileMerge3() to combine the three
possible virtualports into one, then uses
virNetDevVPortProfileCheck*() to verify that the resulting virtualport
type is appropriate for the type of network, and that all the required
attributes for that type are present.

An example of usage is this: assuming a <network> definitions on host
ABC of:

  <network>
    <name>testA</name>
    ...
    <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
    ...
    <portgroup name='engineering'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters profileid='eng'/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
    <portgroup name='sales'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters profileid='sales'/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
  </network>

and the same <network> on host DEF of:

  <network>
    <name>testA</name>
    ...
    <virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
      <parameters typeid="1193047" typeidversion="2"/>
    </virtualport>
    ...
    <portgroup name='engineering'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters managerid="11"/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
    <portgroup name='sales'>
      <virtualport>
        <parameters managerid="55"/>
      </virtualport>
    </portgroup>
  </network>

and a guest <interface> definition of:

  <interface type='network'>
    <source network='testA' portgroup='sales'/>
    <virtualport>
      <parameters instanceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"
                  interfaceid="09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f"\>
    </virtualport>
    ...
  </interface>

If the guest was started on host ABC, the <virtualport> used would be:

  <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
    <parameters interfaceid='09b11c53-8b5c-4eeb-8f00-d84eaa0aaa4f'
                profileid='sales'/>

but if that guest was started on host DEF, the <virtualport> would be:

                  managerid="55"/>

Until now, all attributes in a <virtualport> parameter list that were
acceptable for a particular type, were also required. There were no
optional attributes.

One of the aims of supporting <virtualport> in libvirt's virtual
networks and portgroups is to allow specifying the group-wide
parameters in the network's virtualport, and merge that with the
interface's virtualport, which will have the instance-specific info
(i.e. the interfaceid or instanceid).

Additionally, the guest's interface XML shouldn't need to know what
type of network connection will be used prior to runtime - it could be
openvswitch, 802.1Qbh, 802.1Qbg, or none of the above - but should
still be able to specify instance-specific info just in case it turns
out to be applicable.

Finally, up to now, the parser for virtualport has always generated a
random instanceid/interfaceid when appropriate, making it impossible
to leave it blank (which is what's required for virtualports within a
network/portprofile definition).

This patch modifies the parser and formatter of the <virtualport>
element in the following ways:

* because most of the attributes in a virNetDevVPortProfile are fixed
  size binary data with no reserved values, there is no way to embed a
  "this value wasn't specified" sentinel into the existing data. To
  solve this problem, the new *_specified fields in the
  virNetDevVPortProfile object that were added in a previous patch of
  this series are now set when the corresponding attribute is present
  during the parse.

* allow parsing/formatting a <virtualport> that has no type set. In
  this case, all fields are settable, but all are also optional.

* add a GENERATE_MISSING_DEFAULTS flag to the parser - if this flag is
  set and an instanceid/interfaceid is expected but not provided, a
  random one will be generated. This was previously the default
  behavior, but is now done only for virtualports inside an
  <interface> definition, not for those in <network> or <portgroup>.

* add a REQUIRE_ALL_ATTRIBUTES flag to the parser - if this flag is
  set the parser will call the new
  virNetDevVPortProfileCheckComplete() functions at the end of the
  parser to check for any missing attributes (based on type), and
  return failure if anything is missing. This used to be default
  behavior. Now it is only used for the virtualport defined inside an
  interface's <actual> element (by the time you've figured out the
  contents of <actual>, you should have all the necessary data to fill
  in the entire virtualport)

* add a REQUIRE_TYPE flag to the parser - if this flag is set, the
  parser will return an error if the virtualport has no type
  attribute. This also was previously the default behavior, but isn't
  needed in the case of the virtualport for a type='network' interface
  (i.e. the exact type isn't yet known), or the virtualport of a
  portgroup (i.e. the portgroup just has modifiers for the network's
  virtualport, which *does* require a type) - in those cases, the
  check will be done at domain startup, once the final virtualport is
  assembled (this is handled in the next patch).

5e21da5630 build: regenerate .png files
We don't expect people to have tools installed to regenerate .png
from .fig by default.  However, since commit 5eb3df8, several
.fig files were updated without regenerating the .png file, and
as a result, 'make dist' ends up regenerating those five files,
or worse, failing because of missing tools (convert from
ImageMagick).

Additionally, even if the tools are present, the generation of
.png files is nondeterministic (the resulting files contain a
timestamp), which means prior to this patch, running 'make dist'
from two checkouts will end up producing different tarball
contents (two 'make dist' runs will always produce different tar
files, since tarballs also contain timestamps; but unpacking the
tarballs and doing a recursive diff will show if the contents
are unchanged).

After this patch, the timestamps are now up-to-date, and 'make
dist' no longer has anything to do for the .png files.  This gets
us closer to the goal of two checkouts being able to produce the
same tarball.

29bc4fe646 Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver
This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.

A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.

A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.

In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.

  <disk type='network'>
    ...
    <source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
      <host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
    </source>
  </disk>

To work right this patch parses the output of collie,
so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused
size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and
will be in the next release.

6510c97bf5 Add some missing hook functions
A core use case of the hook scripts is to be able to do things
to a guest's network configuration. It is possible to hook into
the 'start' operation for a QEMU guest which runs just before
the guest is started. The TAP devices will exist at this point,
but the QEMU process will not. It can be desirable to have a
'started' hook too, which runs once QEMU has started.

If libvirtd is restarted it will re-populate firewall rules,
but there is no QEMU hook to trigger for existing domains.
This is solved with a 'reconnect' hook.

Finally, if attaching to an external QEMU process there needs
to be an 'attach' hook script.

This all also applies to the LXC driver

7bff56a0d1 build: fix 'make distcheck' issues
We had a distributed file (remote_protocol.h, which in turn was
a prereq to remote_driver.c) depending on a generated file
(libvirt_probes.h), which is a no-no for a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree (no wonder 'make distcheck' tests precisely
that situation):

     File `libvirt_driver_remote.la' does not exist.
       File `libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo' does not exist.
             Prerequisite `libvirt_probes.h' is newer than target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
            Must remake target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
Invoking recipe from Makefile:7464 to update target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.

cannot create ../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h: Permission denied at ../../src/rpc/genprotocol.pl line 31.
make[3]: *** [../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h] Error 13

Rather than making distributed .c files depend on generated files, we
really want to ensure that compilation into .lo files is not attempted
until the generated files are present, done by this patch.  Since there
were two different sets of conditionally generated files that both
feed the .lo file, I had to introduce a new variable REMOTE_DRIVER_PREREQS
to keep automake happy.

After that fix, the next issue was that make treats './foo' and 'foo'
differently in determining whether an implicit %foo rule is applicable,
with the result that locking/qemu-sanlock.conf wasn't properly being
built at the right times.  Also, the output for using the .aug test
files was a bit verbose.

After fixing the src directory, the next error is related to the docs
directory, where the tarball is missing a stamp file and thus tries to
regenerate files that are already present:

  GEN    ../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2511, in <module>
    rebuild("libvirt")

    output = open(filename, "w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '../../docs/libvirt-api.xml'
make[5]: *** [../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp] Error 1

and fixing that exposed another case of a distributed file (generated
html) depending on a built file (libvirt.h), but only when doing an
in-tree build, because of a file glob.

* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote/remote_driver.c): Change...

cec281fcaa nwfilter: add DHCP snooping
This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).

Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.

The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='virbr0'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
        <parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>

All filters containing the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.

74951eadef storage backend: Add RBD (RADOS Block Device) support
This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.

RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.

It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.

To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.

The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.

For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

a3f3ab4c9c nwfilter: Add support for ipset
This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.

On the command line iptables supports ipset using

iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...

where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:

iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT

Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset 
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.

Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:

  <rule action='accept' direction='in'>
    <all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
  </rule>

The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.

FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:

 * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
 * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
 * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
 * Supports reseting settings without breaking things
 * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
 * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
 * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
 * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators

38bd605b71 docs: mention migration issue of which credentials are used
Based on a report by Seth Vidal.  Just because _you_ can use virsh
to connect to both source and destinations does not mean that libvirtd
on the source (aka _root_) can likewise connect to the destination;
this matters when setting up a peer-to-peer migration instead of a
native one.

of the source libvirtd (usually root) must be able to connect to

97010eb1f1 numad: Set memory policy from numad advisory nodeset
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.

This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:

  <numatune>
    <memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
  </numatune>

Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.

If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".

The following XML can now fully drive numad:

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
   <numatune>.

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave'/>
   </numatune>

And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.

1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'

   <vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
   </numatune>

2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'

   <vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
   <numatune>
     <memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
   </numatume>

A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.

ae6aa8c396 blockjob: enhance xml to track mirrors across libvirtd restart
In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror.  Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front.  This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:

    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
      <mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
      ...
    </disk>

For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing).  The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase.  If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

Every now & then, with parallel builds, we get a failure to
validate hvsupport.html.in.  I eventually noticed that this
is because we get 2 instances of the generator running at

We already list hvsupport.html.in in BUILT_SOURCES but this
was not working. It turns out the flaw is that we were
adding deps to the 'all:' target instead of the 'all-am:'
target. BUILT_SOURCES is a dep of 'all', so any custom
targets written in Makefile.am must use 'all-am:' so that
they don't get run until BUILT_SOURCES are completely

b8bf79aad7 Support clock=variable relative to localtime
Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to
qemu/kvm Xen also knows about a variant where the offset is relative to
'localtime' instead of 'utc'.

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the
offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'.

Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset
behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward
compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
incorrect XML.

Adapt the only user 'qemu' to the new name.
Extend the RelaxNG schema accordingly.
Document the new 'basis' attribute in the HTML documentation.
Adapt test for the new attribute.

06a0d57f5a Refactor the libvirt RPM daemon pieces
There are a number of flaws with our packaging of the libvirtd
daemon:

 - Installing 'libvirt' does not install 'qemu-kvm' or 'xen'
   etc which are required to actually run the hypervisor in
   question
 - Installing 'libvirt' pulls in the default configuration
   files which may not be wanted & cause problems if installed
   inside a guest
 - It is not possible to explicitly required all the peices
   required to manage a specific hypervisor

This change takes the 'libvirt' RPM and and changes it thus

 - libvirt: just a virtual package with dep on libvirt-daemon,
   libvirt-daemon-config-network & libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
 - libvirt-daemon: the libvirt daemon and related pieces
 - libvirt-daemon-config-network: the default network config
 - libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter: the network filter configs
 - libvirt-docs: the website HTML

We then introduce some more virtual (empty) packages

 - libvirt-daemon-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu'
 - libvirt-daemon-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu-kvm'
 - libvirt-daemon-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'xen'

 - libvirt-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon-qemu & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon-kvm & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon-lxc & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon-uml & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon-xen & libvirt-daemon-config-network

My intent in the future is to turn on the driver modules by
default, at which time 'libvirt-daemon' will cease to include
any specific drivers, instead we'll get libvirt-daemon-driver-XXXX
packages for each driver. The libvirt-daemon-XXX packages will
then pull in each driver that they require.

It is recommended that applications required a locally installed
libvirtd daemon, use either 'Requires: libvirt-daemon-XXXX' or
'Requires: libvirt-XXX' and *not* "Requires: libvirt-daemon"
or 'Requires: libvirt'

0007237301 conf: forbid use of multicast mac addresses
A few times libvirt users manually setting mac addresses have
complained of a networking failure that ends up being due to a multicast
mac address being used for a guest interface. This patch prevents that
by logging an error and failing if a multicast mac address is
encountered in each of the three following cases:

1) domain xml <interface> mac address.
2) network xml bridge mac address.
3) network xml dhcp/host mac address.

There are several other places where a mac address can be input that
aren't controlled in this manner because failure to do so has no
consequences (e.g., if the address will be used to search through
existing interfaces for a match).

The RNG has been updated to add multiMacAddr and uniMacAddr along with
the existing macAddr, and macAddr was switched to uniMacAddr where
appropriate.

0f8e7ae33a qemu: Support numad
numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.

More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad

"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.

This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.

  <vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
  <vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
  <vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
  numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024

The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).

If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.

Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.

See docs update in patch for more details.

2e14861224 storage: support more scaling suffixes
Disk manufacturers are fond of quoting sizes in powers of 10,
rather than powers of 2 (after all, 2.1 GB sounds larger than
2.0 GiB, even though the exact opposite is true).  So, we might
as well follow coreutils' lead in supporting three types of
suffix: single letter ${u} (which we already had) and ${u}iB
for the power of 2, and ${u}B for power of 10.

Additionally, it is impossible to create a file with more than
2**63 bytes, since off_t is signed (if you have enough storage
to even create one 8EiB file, I'm jealous).  This now reports
failure up front rather than down the road when the kernel
finally refuses an impossible size.

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

cb7583e161 xml: share 'unit' in RNG
The code supported unit='E' for "exabyte", but the RNG did not;
conversely, the RNG supported "z" and "y" but the code did not
(I'm jealous if you have that much storage, particularly since
it won't fit in 64-bit off_t).  Also, the code supported
<allocation unit='...'>, but not the RNG.

In an effort to make 'unit' more worthwhile in future patches,
it's easier to share it between files.

In making this factorization, note that absFilePath is more
permissive than 'path', so storage pools and storage volumes
will now validate with a wider set of file names than before.
I don't think this should be a problem in practice.

* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng: Include basic types, rather than
repeating things here.
* docs/schemas/storagevol.rng: Likewise.
* docs/schemas/basictypes.rng: Add 'unsignedLong', 'unit', and fix
to match storage code.

9dfdeadc8a docs: use correct terminology for 1024 bytes
Yes, I like kilobytes better than kibibytes (when I say kilobytes,
I generally mean 1024).  But since the term is ambiguous, it can't
hurt to say what we mean, by using both the correct name and
calling out the numeric equivalent.

* src/libvirt.c (virDomainGetMaxMemory, virDomainSetMaxMemory)
(virDomainSetMemory, virDomainSetMemoryFlags)

3b1c191fe7 conf: parse/format type='hostdev' network interfaces
This is the new interface type that sets up an SR-IOV PCI network
device to be assigned to the guest with PCI passthrough after
initializing some network device-specific things from the config
(e.g. MAC address, virtualport profile parameters). Here is an example
of the syntax:

  <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
    <source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='3'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='7' function='0'/>
  </interface>

This would assign the PCI card from bus 0 slot 4 function 3 on the
host, to bus 0 slot 7 function 0 on the guest, but would first set the
MAC address of the card to 00:11:22:33:44:55.

NB: The parser and formatter don't care if the PCI card being
specified is a standard single function network adapter, or a virtual
function (VF) of an SR-IOV capable network adapter, but the upcoming
code that implements the back end of this config will work *only* with
SR-IOV VFs. This is because modifying the mac address of a standard
network adapter prior to assigning it to a guest is pointless - part
of the device reset that occurs during that process will reset the MAC
address to the value programmed into the card's firmware.

Although it's not supported by any of libvirt's hypervisor drivers,
usb network hostdevs are also supported in the parser and formatter
for completeness and consistency. <source> syntax is identical to that
for plain <hostdev> devices, except that the <address> element should
have "type='usb'" added if bus/device are specified:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' device='4'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

If the vendor/product form of usb specification is used, type='usb'
is implied:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <vendor id='0x0012'/>
      <product id='0x24dd'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

Again, the upcoming patch to fill in the backend of this functionality
will log an error and fail with "Unsupported Config" if you actually
try to assign a USB network adapter to a guest using <interface
type='hostdev'> - just use a standard <hostdev> entry in that case
(and also for single-port PCI adapters).

3482191d12 qemu: add ibmvscsi controller model
KVM will be able to use a PCI SCSI controller even on POWER.  Let
the user specify the vSCSI controller by other means than a default.

After this patch, the QEMU driver will actually look at the model
and reject anything but auto, lsilogic and ibmvscsi.

c95c90ee4a Install API XML desc to a standard location
Language bindings may well want to use the libvirt-api.xml and
libvirt-qemu-api.xml files to either auto-generate themselves,
or sanity check the manually written bindings for completeness.
Currently these XML files are not installed as standard, merely
ending up as a %doc file in the RPM.

This changes them to be installed into $prefix/share/libvirt/apis/
The *-refs.xml files are not installed, since those are only
useful during generation of the online API doc files.

The pkg-config file is enhanced so that you can query the install
location of the API files. eg

  # pkg-config --variable=libvirt_qemu_api libvirt
  /home/berrange/builder/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/libvirt/libvirt-qemu-api.xml

* docs/Makefile.am: Install libvirt-api.xml & libvirt-qemu-api.xml
* libvirt.pc.in: Add vars for querying API install location
* libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Include API XML files

10cc08ee32 Clarify the purpose of domxml-from-native
Someone mentioned to me that they interpreted this section of the KVM
driver page as suggesting that new guests should be created by
creating a qemu commandline and converting it to XML with
domxml-from-native.  I don't think that's the intent of
domxml-from-native, so I added that clarification.
