To assist people in verifying that their host is operating in an
optimal manner, provide a 'virt-host-validate' command. For each
type of hypervisor, it will check any pre-requisites, or other
good recommendations and report what's working & what is not.
eg
# virt-host-validate
QEMU: Checking for device /dev/kvm : FAIL (Check that the 'kvm-intel' or 'kvm-amd' modules are loaded & the BIOS has enabled virtualization)
QEMU: Checking for device /dev/vhost : WARN (Load the 'vhost_net' module to improve performance of virtio networking)
QEMU: Checking for device /dev/net/tun : PASS
LXC: Checking for Linux >= 2.6.26 : PASS
This warns people if they have vmx/svm, but don't have /dev/kvm. It
also warns about missing /dev/vhost net.
Commit 4d9e51f6 fixed a 'make uninstall' failure, but failed
to follow other conventions already present in src/Makefile.am.
In particular, we prefer MKDIR_P over mkdir -p, and should
have a matching rmdir during uninstall for every directory
created during install (the idea being that uninstall in a
DESTDIR should be clean, while installation in the final
system should not fail with non-empty directories left behind).
* tools/Makefile.am (install-sysconfig, install-initscript)
(install-systemd): Use MKDIR_P.
(uninstall-sysconfig, uninstall-initscript, uninstall-systemd):
Also remove directories.
* daemon/Makefile.am (install-data-local, install-data-polkit)
(install-logrotate, install-sysconfig, install-sysctl)

(uninstall-init-systemd): Also remove directory.
(uninstall-logrotate): New rule.
(uninstall-local): Add uninstall-logrotate.
The installation rules for the libvirt-guests.service were
totally broken
- Installing in the wrong location
- The location was not overridable
- The install-systemd rule was not invoked anywhere
- The install-systemd rule was not invoking install-initscript
which it depends on
- The installed service file lacked a .service extension
* tools/Makefile.am: Fix install of libvirt-guests.service
This patch adds support for a systemd init service for libvirtd
and libvirt-guests. The libvirtd.service is *not* written to use
socket activation, since we want libvirtd to start on boot so it
can do guest auto-start.
The libvirt-guests.service is pretty lame, just exec'ing the
original init script for now. Ideally we would factor out the
functionality, into some shared tool.
Instead of
./configure --with-init-script=redhat
You can now do
./configure --with-init-script=systemd
Or better still:
./configure --with-init-script=systemd+redhat
We can also now support install of the upstart init script
* configure.ac: Add systemd, and systemd+redhat options to
--with-init-script option
* daemon/Makefile.am: Install systemd services
* daemon/libvirtd.sysconf: Add note about unused env variable
with systemd
* daemon/libvirtd.service.in: libvirtd systemd service unit
* libvirt.spec.in: Add scripts to installing systemd services
and migrating from legacy init scripts
* tools/Makefile.am: Install systemd services
* tools/libvirt-guests.init.sh: Rename to tools/libvirt-guests.init.in
* tools/libvirt-guests.service.in: systemd service unit
I got these distcheck failures with sanlock enabled:
ERROR: files left in build directory after distclean:

* tools/Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Likewise.
Gettext annoyingly modifies CPPFLAGS in-place, putting
-I/usr/local/include into the search patch if libintl headers
must be used from that location. But since we must support
automake 1.9.6 which lacks AM_CPPFLAGS, and since CPPFLAGS is used
prior to INCLUDES, this means that the build picks up the _old_
installed libvirt.h in priority to the in-tree version, leading
to all sorts of weird build failures on FreeBSD.
Fix this by teaching configure to undo gettext's actions, but
to keep any changes required by gettext at the end of INCLUDES
after all in-tree locations are used first. Also requires
adding a wrapper Makefile.am and making gnulib-tool create
just gnulib.mk files during the bootstrap process.

virt-sanlock-cleanup.8 has static contents (no dependency on
configure), but is generated by pod2man (a perl dependency that
maintainers must have, but which ordinary tarball users need
not have). Therefore, ensure that it is always part of the
tarball, even though it is only conditionally installed.
This is similar to commit 6db98a2d4b, but made simpler by the fact
that the .8 page is static content.
* tools/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add virt-sanlock-cleanup.8.
The current sanlock plugin requires a central management
application to manually add <lease> elements to each guest,
to protect resources that are assigned to it (eg writable
disks). This makes the sanlock plugin useless for usage
in more ad hoc deployment environments where there is no
central authority to associate disks with leases.
This patch adds a mode where the sanlock plugin will
automatically create leases for each assigned read-write
disk, using a md5 checksum of the fully qualified disk
path. This can work pretty well if guests are using
stable disk paths for block devices eg /dev/disk/by-path/XXXX
symlinks, or if all hosts have NFS volumes mounted in
a consistent pattern.
The plugin will create one lockspace for managing disks
with filename /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock/__LIBVIRT__DISKS__.
For each VM disks, there will be another file to hold
a lease /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock/5903e5d25e087e60a20fe4566fab41fd
Each VM disk lease is usually 1 MB in size. The script
virt-sanlock-cleanup should be run periodically to remove
unused lease files from the lockspace directory.
To make use of this capability the admin will need to do
several tasks:
- Mount an NFS volume (or other shared filesystem)
on /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock
- Configure 'host_id' in /etc/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf
with a unique value for each host with the same NFS
mount
- Toggle the 'auto_disk_leases' parameter in qemu-sanlock.conf
Technically the first step can be skipped, in which case
sanlock will only protect against 2 vms on the same host
using the same disk (or the same VM being started twice
due to error by libvirt).

We weren't using the @FOO@ notation for a Makefile substitution,

Right now, 'man libvirtd' includes information that depends on
configure results, so it must be generated on the fly and live
in $(builddir); however, requiring pod2man on all end user
machines is overkill. Meanwhile, 'man virsh' doesn't mention
any configure results, so it can be built at 'make dist' time.
If that situation changes in the future, we can generate virsh.1
in the same way that we generate libvirtd.8.

Last time I ran ./autobuild.sh was on F13; and upgrading to F14
exposed these leftovers due to a newer gcov than what was in the stale
files, in the form of spurious messages that break 'make check':
+profiling:/home/remote/eblake/libvirt-tmp/tools/virsh-console.gcda:Version mismatch - expected 405R got 404R
and concluding with a bug in the autobuild.sh script itself:
./autobuild.sh: line 44: test: =: unary operator expected
* autobuild.sh: avoid syntax error on failed test
* tools/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Clean coverage files.
This re-writes the 'virsh console' command so that it uses
the new streams API. This lets it run remotely and/or as a
non-root user. This requires that virsh be linked against
the simple event loop from libvirtd in daemon/event.c
As an added bonus, it can now connect to any console device,
not just the first one.
* tools/Makefile.am: Link to event.c
* tools/console.c, tools/console.h: Rewrite to use the
virDomainOpenConsole() APIs with streams
* tools/virsh.c: Support choosing the console name

Now that the virsh parsing has been revamped, we can

work both with the plain text monitor and the QMP monitor.

Since libvirt-guests init script and its configuration do not require
libvirtd to be running/installed, it was a bad idea to put them into
daemon directory. libvirt.spec even includes these files in
libvirt-client subpackage, which may result in build failure for
client-only builds when the whole daemon directory is just skipped.
Matthias noted that the line:
virt_aa_helper_LDFLAGS = $(WARN_CFLAGS)
looks inconsistent, so I did an audit.
Currently, the set of compiler warning flags passed to gcc as $CC are
equally permitted as the set of linker flags passed to gcc as $LD, so
there was no problem with that usage. But if we ever get in a
situation where $CC and $LD treat particular flags differently, using
the right variable form will make it easier.
In the process, I spotted a couple of typos that were omitting useful
flags, as well as specifying a -l under the wrong variable.
* acinclude.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Define WARN_LDFLAGS as
an alias for WARN_CFLAGS.
