Eric Blake suggested to change this message to be different from the
glibc's NULL deref protection message in printf to be able to
differentiate errors.
The libvirt_internal.h header was included by the internal.h header.
This made it painful to add new stuff to the header file that would
require some more specific types. Remove inclusion by internal.h and add
it to appropriate places manually.
Some of our operation denied messages are outright stupid; for
example, if virIdentitySetAttr fails:
error: operation Identity attribute is already set forbidden for read only access
This patch fixes things to a saner:
error: operation forbidden: Identity attribute is already set
It also consolidates the most common usage pattern for operation
denied errors: read-only connections preventing a public API. In
this case, 'virsh -r -c test:///default destroy test' changes from:
error: operation virDomainDestroy forbidden for read only access
to:
error: operation forbidden: read only access prevents virDomainDestroy
Note that we were previously inconsistent on which APIs used
VIR_FROM_DOM (such as virDomainDestroy) vs. VIR_FROM_NONE (such as
virDomainPMSuspendForDuration). After this patch, all uses
consistently use VIR_FROM_NONE, on the grounds that it is unlikely
that a caller learning that a call is denied can do anything in
particular with extra knowledge which error domain the call belongs
to (similar to what we did in commit baa7244).

The virt-compile-warnings.m4 file would do an explicit
check for whether the compile could use the 'diagnostic'
pragma push/pop feature. The src/internal.h file would
then only enable it for GCC >= 4.6
This breaks with clang which supports the pragma but
does not claim GCC 4.6 compat. Export a variable from
the m4 check to the header file so they are consistent.

Gcc lets you do:
int ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) foo(void *param);
int foo(void *param) ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1);
int ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) foo(void *param) { ... }
but chokes on:
int foo(void *param) ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) { ... }
However, since commit eefb881, we have intentionally been disabling
ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL because of lame gcc handling of the attribute (that
is, gcc doesn't do decent warning reporting, then compiles code that
mysteriously fails if you break the contract of the attribute, which
is surprisingly easy to do), leaving it on only for Coverity (which
does a much better job of improved static analysis when the attribute
is present).
But completely eliding the macro makes it too easy to write code that
uses the fourth syntax option, if you aren't using Coverity. So this
patch forces us to avoid syntax errors, even when not using the
attribute under gcc. It also documents WHY we disable the warning
under gcc, rather than forcing you to find the commit log.
* src/internal.h (ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL): Expand to empty attribute,
rather than nothing, when on gcc.
This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD have a <net/if.h> that is not self-contained;
and mingw lacks the header altogether. But gnulib has just taken

(virLogStackTraceToFd): Handle gnulib's fallback implementation.
OpenBSD ships with gcc 4.2.1, which annoyingly treats all format
strings as though they were also attribute((nonnull)). The two
concepts are orthogonal, though, as evidenced by the number of
spurious warnings it generates on uses where we know that
virReportError specifically handles NULL instead of a format
string; worse, since we now force -Werror on git builds, it
prevents development builds on OpenBSD.
I hate to do this, as it disables ALL format checking on older
gcc, and therefore misses out on some useful checks (code that
happened to compile on Linux may still have type mismatches
when compiled on other platforms, as evidenced by the number
of times I have fixed formatting mismatches for uid_t as found
by warnings on Cygwin), but I don't see any other way to keep
-Werror alive and still compile on OpenBSD.
A more invasive change would be to make virReportError() mark
its format attribute as nonnull, and fix (a lot of) fallout;
we may end up doing that anyways as part of danpb's error
refactoring improvements, but not today.
* src/internal.h (ATTRIBUTE_FMT_PRINTF): Use preferred spellings.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (-Wformat): Disable on older gcc.
Our existing STRNEQ_NULLABLE() triggered a warning in gcc 4.7 when

qemumonitorjsontest.c:289:5: error: null argument where non-null required (argument 1) [-Werror=nonnull]
even though the strcmp is provably dead when a null argument is
present. Squelch the warning by refactoring things so that gcc
never sees strcmp() called with NULL arguments (we still compare
NULL as not equal to "", this rewrite merely aids gcc).
Next, gcc has a valid warning about a literal NULLSTR(NULL):
qemumonitorjsontest.c:289:5: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to a void type [-Werror=pointer-arith]
Of course, you'd never write NULLSTR(NULL) directly, but it is
handy to use through macros. But the entire part about verify_true()
is unnecessary - gcc already warns about type mismatch with ?:,
without needing to make it more complex.

The ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(m) macro normally resolves to the gcc builtin
__attribute__((__nonnull__(m))). The effect of this in gcc is
unfortunately only to make gcc believe that "m" can never possibly be
NULL, *not* to add in any checks to guarantee that it isn't ever NULL
(i.e. it is an optimization aid, *not* something to verify code
correctness.) - see the following gcc bug report for more details:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17308
Static source analyzers such as clang and coverity apparently can use
ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(), though, to detect dead code (in the case that the
arg really is guaranteed non-NULL), as well as situations where an
obviously NULL arg is given to the function.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815270 is a good example
of a bug caused by erroneous application of ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL().
Several people spent a long time staring at this code and not finding
the problem, because the problem wasn't in the function itself, but in
the prototype that specified ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL() for an arg that
actually *wasn't* always non-NULL, and caused a segv when dereferenced
(even though the code that dereferenced the pointer was inside an if()
that checked for a NULL pointer, that code was optimized out by gcc).
There may be some very small gain to be had from the optimizations
that can be inferred from ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(), but it seems safer to
err on the side of generating code that behaves as expected, while
turning on the attribute for static analyzers.
The code is splattered with a mix of
sizeof foo
sizeof (foo)
sizeof(foo)
Standardize on sizeof(foo) and add a syntax check rule to
enforce it

The /usr/include/python/pyconfig.h file pollutes the global
namespace with a huge number of HAVE_XXX and WITH_XXX
defines. These change what we detected in our own config.h
In particular if you try to build without DTrace, python's
headers turn it back on with predictable fail.
THe hack to workaround this is to rename WITH_DTRACE to
WITH_DTRACE_PROBES to avoid the namespace clash
Although this is a public API break, it only affects users that
were compiling against *_LAST values, and can be trivially
worked around without impacting compilation against older
headers, by the user defining VIR_ENUM_SENTINELS before using
libvirt.h. It is not an ABI break, since enum values do not
appear as .so entry points. Meanwhile, it prevents users from
using non-stable enum values without explicitly acknowledging
the risk of doing so.

The libvirtd daemon had a few crude system tap probes. Some of
these were broken during the RPC rewrite. The new modular RPC
code is structured in a way that allows much more effective
tracing. Instead of trying to hook up the original probes,
define a new set of probes for the RPC and event code.
The master probes file is now src/probes.d. This contains
probes for virNetServerClientPtr, virNetClientPtr, virSocketPtr
virNetTLSContextPtr and virNetTLSSessionPtr modules. Also add
probes for the poll event loop.
The src/dtrace2systemtap.pl script can convert the probes.d
file into a libvirt_probes.stp file to make use from systemtap
much simpler.
The src/rpc/gensystemtap.pl script can generate a set of
systemtap functions for translating RPC enum values into
printable strings. This works for all RPC header enums (program,
type, status, procedure) and also the authentication enum
The PROBE macro will automatically generate a VIR_DEBUG

Currently users who want to use virDomainQemuMonitorCommand() API or
it's virsh equivalent has to use the same protocol as libvirt uses for
communication to qemu. Since the protocol is QMP with current qemu and
HMP much more usable for humans, one ends up typing something like the
following:
virsh qemu-monitor-command DOM \
'{"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"info kvm"}}'
which is not a very convenient way of debugging qemu.
This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says
that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with
qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the
example above is simplified to just
virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm"
Also the result is converted from
{"return":"kvm support: enabled\r\n"}
to just plain HMP:
kvm support: enabled
If libvirt talks to qemu in HMP, --hmp flag is obviously a noop.
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
Per the gettext developer:

gettext() doesn't work correctly on all platforms unless you have
called setlocale(). Furthermore, gnulib's gettext.h has provisions
for setting up a default locale, which is the preferred method for
libraries to use gettext without having to call textdomain() and
override the main program's default domain (virInitialize already
calls bindtextdomain(), but this is insufficient without the
setlocale() added in this patch; and a redundant bindtextdomain()
in this patch doesn't hurt, but serves as a good example for other
packages that need to bind a second translation domain).
This patch is needed to silence a new gnulib 'make syntax-check'
rule in the next patch.

Basic live migration was broken by the commit that added
non-shared block support in two ways:
1) It added a virCheckFlags() to doNativeMigrate(). Besides
the fact that typical usage of virCheckFlags() is in driver
entry points, and doNativeMigrate() is not an entry point,
it was missing important flags like VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE. Move
the virCheckFlags to the top-level qemuDomainMigratePrepare2
and friends.
2) It also added a memory leak in qemuMonitorTextMigrate()
by not freeing the memory used by virBufferContentAndReset().
This is fixed by storing the pointer in a temporary variable
and freeing it at the end.
With this patch in place, normal live migration works again.

The idea is that every API implementation in driver which has flags
parameter should first call virCheckFlags() macro to check the function
was called with supported flags:
virCheckFlags(VIR_SUPPORTED_FLAG_1 |
VIR_SUPPORTED_FLAG_2 |
VIR_ANOTHER_SUPPORTED_FLAG, -1);
The error massage which is printed when unsupported flags are passed
looks like:
invalid argument in virFooBar: unsupported flags (0x2)
Where the unsupported flags part only prints those flags which were
passed but are not supported rather than all flags passed.
Among some here, there is a strong aversion to the use of "assert", yet
some others think it is essential (when applied judiciously) even --
perhaps "especially" -- at the heart of libraries and core hypervisor-
related code.
Here is a compromise that lets us make assertions about the code (e.g.,
to tell static analyzers about invariants) without even a hint of risk
of an abort.

This patch implements support for learning a VM's IP address. It uses
the pcap library to listen on the VM's backend network interface (tap)
or the physical ethernet device (macvtap) and tries to capture packets
with source or destination MAC address of the VM and learn from DHCP
Offers, ARP traffic, or first-sent IPv4 packet what the IP address of
the VM's interface is. This then allows to instantiate the network
traffic filtering rules without the user having to provide the IP
parameter somewhere in the filter description or in the interface
description as a parameter. This only supports to detect the parameter
IP, which is for the assumed single IPv4 address of a VM. There is not
support for interfaces that may have multiple IP addresses (IP
aliasing) or IPv6 that may then require more than one valid IP address
to be detected. A VM can have multiple independent interfaces that each
uses a different IP address and in that case it will be attempted to
detect each one of the address independently.
So, when for example an interface description in the domain XML has
looked like this up to now:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='IP' value='10.2.3.4'/>
</filterref>
</interface>
you may omit the IP parameter:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='mybridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
</interface>
Internally I am walking the 'tree' of a VM's referenced network filters
and determine with the given variables which variables are missing. Now,
the above IP parameter may be missing and this causes a libvirt-internal
thread to be started that uses the pcap library's API to listen to the
backend interface (in case of macvtap to the physical interface) in an
attempt to determine the missing IP parameter. If the backend interface
disappears the thread terminates assuming the VM was brought down. In
case of a macvtap device a timeout is being used to wait for packets
from the given VM (filtering by VM's interface MAC address). If the VM's
macvtap device disappeared the thread also terminates. In all other
cases it tries to determine the IP address of the VM and will then apply
the rules late on the given interface, which would have happened
immediately if the IP parameter had been explicitly given. In case an
error happens while the firewall rules are applied, the VM's backend
interface is 'down'ed preventing it to communicate. Reasons for failure
for applying the network firewall rules may that an ebtables/iptables
command failes or OOM errors. Essentially the same failure reasons may
occur as when the firewall rules are applied immediately on VM start,
except that due to the late application of the filtering rules the VM
now is already running and cannot be hindered anymore from starting.
Bringing down the whole VM would probably be considered too drastic.
While a VM's IP address is attempted to be determined only limited
updates to network filters are allowed. In particular it is prevented
that filters are modified in such a way that they would introduce new
variables.
A caveat: The algorithm does not know which one is the appropriate IP
address of a VM. If the VM spoofs an IP address in its first ARP traffic
or IPv4 packets its filtering rules will be instantiated for this IP
address, thus 'locking' it to the found IP address. So, it's still
'safer' to explicitly provide the IP address of a VM's interface in the
filter description if it is known beforehand.

* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.[ch]: new module being added
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_driver.c src/conf/nwfilter_conf.[ch]
src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.[ch]
src/nwfilter/nwfilter_gentech_driver.[ch]: plu the new functionality in
* tests/nwfilterxml2xmltest: extend testing
virParseVersionString uses virStrToLong_ui instead of sscanf.
This also fixes a bug in the UML driver, that always returned 0
as version number.
Introduce STRSKIP to check if a string has a certain prefix and
to skip this prefix.
Use the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags API to allow the VNC password
to be changed on the fly
* src/internal.h: Define STREQ_NULLABLE() which is like STREQ()
but does not crash if either argument is NULL, and treats two
NULLs as equal.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainGraphicsTypeToString
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Support VNC password change on a live
machine
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Disable crazy debugging info. Treat a
NULL password as "" (empty string), allowing passwords to be
disabled in the monitor
It is a bad idea to call gettext on an already-translated
string. In cases where a string must be translated separately
from where it is exposed to xgettext, the gettext manual
recommends the idiom of N_() wrapping gettext_noop for
marking the string.
* src/internal.h (N_): Fix definition to match gettext manual.
* tools/virsh.c: (cmdHelp, cmdList, cmdDomstate, cmdDominfo)
(cmdVcpuinfo, vshUsage): Replace incorrect use of N_ with _.
(vshCmddefHelp): Likewise. Mark C format strings appropriately.
* src/internal.h (ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL): New, it's a ggc feature and
protected as such
* src/util/buf.c (virBufferStrcat): Use it.
* src/util/ebtables.c (ebtablesAddRemoveRule): Use it.
* src/util/iptables.c (iptableAddRemoveRule: Use it.
* src/util/qparams.h (new_qparam_set, append_qparams): Use it.
* docs/apibuild.py: avoid breaking the API generator with that new
internal keyword macro
Move the VIR_DRV_FEATURE* constants into libvirt_internal.h
since these flags are indicating whether APIs in the
libvirt_internal.h file are supported by a driver
* src/driver.h: Remove VIR_DRV_FEATURE* constants
* src/libvirt_internal.h: Add VIR_DRV_FEATURE* constants, using
an enum instead of #define
* src/internal.h: pull in libvirt_internal.h
