Since commit 9b77ce63f1 we create a .in file while building all
man pages, including those in the tools/ directory; update the
ignore patterns to take this change into account.
The new ignore patterns are generic enough that we can get rid of
a few existing ones as well.
This reverts commit 1e9808d3a1.
We shouldn't advertise libvirtd.socket activation, since currently
it means VM/network/... autostart won't work as expected.
We tried to find a middle ground by installing the config file without
an [Install] section, since systemd won't allow .socket to be enabled
without one... or at least it did do that; presently on f24 it allows
activating the socket quite happily. This also caused user confusion[1]
Just remove the socket file. I've filed a new RFE to track coming up
with a solution to the autostart problem[2], we can point users at that
if there's more confusion:

This patch introduces virt-admin client which is based on virsh client,
but had to reimplement several methods to meet virt-admin specific needs
or remove unnecessary virsh specific logic.
As it turned out, we need to share some enums and declarations between
libvirt.h and libvirt-admin.h, but since our policy forbids direct includes of
libvirt*.h, there has to be some header exempt from this rule. This patch moves
the relevant part of code from libvirt.h.in to libvirt-common.h.in. Moreover,
since there is no need to have libvirt.h generated anymore, introduce a new
header libvirt.h which was previosly ignored from git and make the common
header ignored and generated instead.
Copy the virtlockd codebase across to form the initial virlogd
code. Simple search & replace of s/lock/log/ and gut the remote
protocol & dispatcher. This gives us a daemon that starts up
and listens for connections, but does nothing with them.

You had only one job. That's what you can say about this example

Introduce a Xen xl parser
This parser allows for users to convert the new xl disk format and
spice graphics config to libvirt xml format and vice versa. Regarding
the spice graphics config, the code is pretty much straight forward.
For the disk {formating, parsing}, this parser takes care of the new
xl format which include positional parameters and key/value parameters.
In xl format disk config a <diskspec> consists of parameters separated by
commas. If the parameters do not contain an '=' they are automatically
assigned to certain options following the order below
target, format, vdev, access
The above are the only mandatory parameters in the <diskspec> but there
are many more disk config options. These options can be specified as
key=value pairs. This takes care of the rest of the options such as
devtype, backend, backendtype, script, direct-io-safe,
The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form
for example
/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
/dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume
are interpleted to one config.
In xm format, the above diskspec would be written as
phy:/dev/vg/guest-volume,hda,w
The disk parser is based on the same parser used successfully by
the Xen project for several years now. Ian Jackson authored the
scanner, which is used by this commit with mimimal changes. Only
the PREFIX option is changed, to produce function and file names
more consistent with libvirt's convention.

There's this question on the list that is asked over and over again.
How do I get {cpu, memory, ...} usage in percentage? Or its modified
version: How do I plot nice graphs like virt-manager does?
It would be nice if we have an example to inspire people. And that's
what domtop should do. Yes, it could be written in different ways, but
I've chosen this one as I think it show explicitly what users need to
implement in order to imitate virt-manager's graphing.
Note: The usage is displayed from host perspective. That is, how much
host CPUs the domain is using. But it should be fairly simple to

This test is there to ensure that our capabilities detection code isn't

How to gather test data:
Firstly, the data is split into two separate files. The former (with
suffix .replies) contains all the qemu replies. This is very fragile as
introducing a new device can mean yet another monitor command and hence
edit of this file in the future. But there's no better way of doing
this. To get this data simply turn on debug logs and copy all the
QEMU_MONITOR_IO_PROCESS lines. But be careful to not copy incomplete
ones (yeah, we report some incomplete lines too). Long story short, at
the libvirtd startup, a dummy qemu is spawn to get all the capabilities.
The latter (with suffix .caps) contains capabilities XML. Just start a
domain and copy the corresponding part from its state XML file.

<api name='virDomainAttachDeviceFlags'>

To register virtual machines and containers with systemd-machined,

This is somewhat tedious code, so introduce a dedicated function
to isolate the DBus call in one place.
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Doing DBus method calls using libdbus.so is tedious in the
extreme. systemd developers came up with a nice high level
API for DBus method calls (sd_bus_call_method). While
systemd doesn't use libdbus.so, their API design can easily
be ported to libdbus.so.
This patch thus introduces methods virDBusCallMethod &
virDBusMessageRead, which are based on the code used for
sd_bus_call_method and sd_bus_message_read. This code in
systemd is under the LGPLv2+, so we're license compatible.
This code is probably pretty unintelligible unless you are
familiar with the DBus type system. So I added some API
docs trying to explain how to use them, as well as test
cases to validate that I didn't screw up the adaptation
from the original systemd code.

As my punishment for the break in 7f15ebc7 (fixed in 752596b5dd) I'm
introducing this test to make sure it won't happen again. Currently,
only test for <graphics/> is supported.
Extend the 'gendispatch.pl' script to be able to generate
three new types of file.
- 'aclheader' - defines signatures of helper APIs for
doing authorization checks. There is one helper API
for each API requiring an auth check. Any @acl
annotations result in a method being generated with
a suffix of 'EnsureACL'. If the ACL check requires
examination of flags, an extra 'flags' param will be
present. Some examples
extern int virConnectBaselineCPUEnsureACL(void);
extern int virConnectDomainEventDeregisterEnsureACL(virDomainDefPtr domain);
extern int virDomainAttachDeviceFlagsEnsureACL(virDomainDefPtr domain, unsigned int flags);
Any @aclfilter annotations resuilt in a method being
generated with a suffix of 'CheckACL'.
extern int virConnectListAllDomainsCheckACL(virDomainDefPtr domain);
These are used for filtering individual objects from APIs
which return a list of objects
- 'aclbody' - defines the actual implementation of the
methods described above. This calls into the access
manager APIs. A complex example:
/* Returns: -1 on error (denied==error), 0 on allowed */
int virDomainAttachDeviceFlagsEnsureACL(virConnectPtr conn,
virDomainDefPtr domain,
unsigned int flags)
{
virAccessManagerPtr mgr;
int rv;
if (!(mgr = virAccessManagerGetDefault()))
return -1;
if ((rv = virAccessManagerCheckDomain(mgr,
conn->driver->name,
domain,
VIR_ACCESS_PERM_DOMAIN_WRITE)) <= 0) {
virObjectUnref(mgr);
if (rv == 0)
virReportError(VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, NULL);
return -1;
}
if (((flags & (VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG|VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE)) == 0) &&
(rv = virAccessManagerCheckDomain(mgr,
conn->driver->name,
domain,
VIR_ACCESS_PERM_DOMAIN_SAVE)) <= 0) {
virObjectUnref(mgr);
if (rv == 0)
virReportError(VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, NULL);
return -1;
}
if (((flags & (VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG)) == (VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG)) &&
(rv = virAccessManagerCheckDomain(mgr,
conn->driver->name,
domain,
VIR_ACCESS_PERM_DOMAIN_SAVE)) <= 0) {
virObjectUnref(mgr);
if (rv == 0)
virReportError(VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, NULL);
return -1;
}
virObjectUnref(mgr);
return 0;
}
- 'aclsyms' - generates a linker script to export the
APIs to drivers. Some examples
virConnectBaselineCPUEnsureACL;
virConnectCompareCPUEnsureACL;

Some aspects of the cgroups setup / detection code are quite subtle
and easy to break. It would greatly benefit from unit testing, but
this is difficult because the test suite won't have privileges to

via LD_PRELOAD to override the fopen, open, mkdir, access functions
to redirect access of cgroups files to some magic stubs in the
test suite.
Using this we provide custom content for the /proc/cgroup and
/proc/self/mounts files which report a fixed cgroup setup. We
then override open/mkdir/access so that access to the cgroups
filesystem gets redirected into files in a temporary directory

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.

add the emacs lock file for a corresponding file that I had not
yet saved all my edits; thankfully I noticed it in time. Since
we already exclude other temporary files, this makes the most
sense for preventing such a mistake from actually hitting upstream.
* .gitignore: Add .#* to the exclude list.
AUTHORS.in tracks the maintainers, as well as some folks who were
previously in AUTHORS but don't have a git commit with proper
attribution.
Generated output is sorted alphabetically and lacks pretty spacing, so
tweak AUTHORS.in to follow the same format.
Additionally, drop the syntax-check rule that previously validated
AUTHORS against git log.
The previously introduced virFile{Lock,Unlock} APIs provide a
way to acquire/release fcntl() locks on individual files. For
unknown reason though, the POSIX spec says that fcntl() locks
are released when *any* file handle referring to the same path
is closed. In the following sequence
threadA: fd1 = open("foo")
threadB: fd2 = open("foo")
threadA: virFileLock(fd1)
threadB: virFileLock(fd2)
threadB: close(fd2)
you'd expect threadA to come out holding a lock on 'foo', and
indeed it does hold a lock for a very short time. Unfortunately
when threadB does close(fd2) this releases the lock associated
with fd1. For the current libvirt use case for virFileLock -
pidfiles - this doesn't matter since the lock is acquired
at startup while single threaded an never released until
exit.
To provide a more generally useful API though, it is necessary
to introduce a slightly higher level abstraction, which is to
be referred to as a "lockspace". This is to be provided by
a virLockSpacePtr object in src/util/virlockspace.{c,h}. The
core idea is that the lockspace keeps track of what files are
already open+locked. This means that when a 2nd thread comes
along and tries to acquire a lock, it doesn't end up opening
and closing a new FD. The lockspace just checks the current
list of held locks and immediately returns VIR_ERR_RESOURCE_BUSY.
NB, the API as it stands is designed on the basis that the
files being locked are not being otherwise opened and used
by the application code. One approach to using this API is to
acquire locks based on a hash of the filepath.
eg to lock /var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img the application
might do
virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew("/var/lib/libvirt/imagelocks");
lockname = md5sum("/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, lockname);
NB, in this example, the caller should ensure that the path
is canonicalized before calculating the checksum.
It is also possible to do locks directly on resources by
using a NULL lockspace directory and then using the file
path as the lock name eg
virLockSpacePtr lockspace = virLockSpaceNew(NULL);
virLockSpaceAcquireLock(lockspace, "/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img");
This is only safe to do though if no other part of the process
will be opening the files. This will be the case when this
code is used inside the soon-to-be-reposted virlockd daemon

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:

In many places we store bitmap info in a chunk of data
(pointed to by a char *), and have redundant codes to
set/unset bits. This patch extends virBitmap, and convert
those codes to use virBitmap in subsequent patches.
Take advantage of the previously added monitor helpers to
create a test suite for the QEMU JSON monitor impl. As a
proof of concept, this tests the 'qemuMonitorGetStatus'
implementation

This test case validates the correct generation of SELinux labels
for VMs, wrt the current process label. Since we can't actually
change the label of the test program process, we create a shared
library libsecurityselinuxhelper.so which overrides the getcon()
and setcon() libselinux.so functions. When started the test case
will check to see if LD_PRELOAD is set, and if not, it will
re-exec() itself setting LD_PRELOAD=libsecurityselinuxhelper.so

This patch makes search.php autogenerated from search.php.in, thus
removing hardcoded menus, footer etc. and the search.php is added to
.gitignore.
There is new rule added for *.php files (to make it bit less
hardcoded) that takes *.php.code.in and injects it inside the
generated *.php (xslt was not happy about php code in the source xml).
There are a few issues with the current virAtomic APIs
- They require use of a virAtomicInt struct instead of a plain
int type
- Several of the methods do not implement memory barriers
- The methods do not implement compiler re-ordering barriers
- There is no Win32 native impl
The GLib library has a nice LGPLv2+ licensed impl of atomic
ops that works with GCC, Win32, or pthreads.h that addresses
all these problems. The main downside to their code is that
the pthreads impl uses a single global mutex, instead of
a per-variable mutex. Given that it does have a Win32 impl
though, we don't expect anyone to seriously use the pthread.h
impl, so this downside is not significant.
* .gitignore: Ignore test case
* configure.ac: Check for which atomic ops impl to use
* src/Makefile.am: Add viratomic.c
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_dhcpsnoop.c: Switch to new atomic
ops APIs and plain int datatype
* src/util/viratomic.h: inline impls of all atomic ops
for GCC, Win32 and pthreads
* src/util/viratomic.c: Global pthreads mutex for atomic
ops
* tests/viratomictest.c: Test validate to validate safety
of atomic ops.
