The log filters have supported the use of a "+" before the source match

commit 548563956e
Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Date: Wed May 9 15:18:56 2012 +0100
Allow stack traces to be included with log messages
Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.
With the huge & ever increasing number of logging statements per file,
this will be incredibly verbose and have a major performance penalty.
This makes the feature impractical to use widely and as such it is not
worth the code maint cost.
Removing this seldom used feature allows us to drop the 'execinfo'
module in gnulib which provides the backtrace() function which doesn't
exist on non-Linux.
Users who want to get stack traces of parts of libvirt can use GDB,
or systemtap for live tracing with minimal perf impact.

Libvirt currently uses the VIR_AUTOUNREF macro for auto cleanup of

reusing their g_autoptr() concept.
This introduces support for g_autoptr() with virObject, to facilitate
the conversion to GObject.
Only virObject classes which are currently used with VIR_AUTOREF are
updated. Any others should be converted to GObject before introducing
use of autocleanup.

To facilitate porting over to glib, this rewrites the auto cleanup
macros to use glib's equivalent.
As a result it is now possible to use g_autoptr/VIR_AUTOPTR, and
g_auto/VIR_AUTOCLEAN, g_autofree/VIR_AUTOFREE interchangably, regardless
of which macros were used to declare the cleanup types.
Within the scope of any single method, code must remain consistent
using either GLib or Libvirt macros, never mixing both. New code
must preferentially use the GLib macros, and old code will be
converted incrementally.

gmem: clarify that g_malloc always uses the system allocator
Applications can still use custom allocators in general, but they must
do this by linking to a library that replaces the core malloc/free
implemenentation entirely, instead of via a glib specific call.
This means that libvirt does not need to be concerned about use of
g_malloc/g_free causing an ABI change in the public libary, and can
avoid memory copying when talking to external libraries.
This patch probes for glib, which provides the foundation layer with
a collection of data structures, helper APIs, and platform portability
logic.
Later patches will introduce linkage to gobject which provides the
object type system, built on glib, and gio which providing objects
for various interesting tasks, most notably including DBus client
and server support and portable sockets APIs, but much more too.

There are various ideas / plans floating around for future libvirt work,
some of which is actively in progress. Historically we've never captured
this kind of information anywhere, except in mailing list discussions.
In particular guidelines in hacking.html.in don't appear until a policy
is actively applied.
This patch attempts to fill the documentation gap, by creating a new
"strategy" page which outlines the general vision for some notable
future changes. The key thing to note is that none of the stuff on this
page is guaranteed, plans may change as new information arises. IOW this
is a "best guess" as to the desired future.
This doc has focused on three areas, related to the topic of language
usage / consolidation
- Use of non-C languages for the library, daemons or helper tools
- Replacement of autotools with meson
- Use of RST and Sphinx for documentation (website + man pages)

Although <interface type='ethernet'> has always been able to use an
existing tap device, this is just a coincidence due to the fact that
the same ioctl is used to create a new tap device or get a handle to
an existing device.
Even then, once we have the handle to the device, we still insist on
doing extra setup to it (setting the MAC address and IFF_UP). That
*might* be okay if libvirtd is running as a privileged process, but if
libvirtd is running as an unprivileged user, those attempted
modifications to the tap device will fail (yes, even if the tap is set
to be owned by the user running libvirtd). We could avoid this if we
knew that the device already existed, but as stated above, an existing
device and new device are both accessed in the same manner, and
anyway, we need to preserve existing behavior for those who are
already using pre-existing devices with privileged libvirtd (and
allowing/expecting libvirt to configure the pre-existing device).
In order to cleanly support the idea of using a pre-existing and
pre-configured tap device, this patch introduces a new optional
attribute "managed" for the interface <target> element. This
attribute is only valid for <interface type='ethernet'> (since all
other interface types have mandatory config that doesn't apply in the
case where we expect the tap device to be setup before we
get it). The syntax would look something like this:
<interface type='ethernet'>
<target dev='mytap0' managed='no'/>
...
</interface>
This patch just adds managed to the grammar and parser for <target>,
but has no functionality behind it.
(NB: when managed='no' (the default when not specified is 'yes'), the
target dev is always a name explicitly provided, so we don't
auto-remove it from the config just because it starts with "vnet"
(VIR_NET_GENERATED_TAP_PREFIX); this makes it possible to use the
same pattern of names that libvirt itself uses when it automatically
creates the tap devices.)

We currently generate two completely separate API references for the

Both are installed in the libvirt-docs sub-RPM, with a full copy

while the 'docs/devhelp/' content goes to /usr/share/gtk-doc/. The
latter was broken for years until:

docs: Introduce $(devhelphtml_generated)
Our XSLT magic generates one Devhelp-compatible HTML file
per documentation module, but so far we have only shipped
and installed documentation for virterror.
Now that we have $(modules), however, we can generate the
list of files the same way we do for regular documentation
and make sure we always ship and install everything.
That this bug went unnoticed for so long is a sign of how few
people are using the devhelp docs. The only commits to the devhelp
code since it was first introduced have been fixing various build
problems that hit.
The only obvious difference between the two sets of docs is the CSS
styling in use. Overall devhelp does not look compelling enough to
justify having two duplicated sets of API docs. Eliminating it will
reduce the amount of XSL code we are carrying in the tree which is
an attractive benefit.
