3b8f6e5fd6 Make detect_scsi_host_caps a function on all architectures
In the non linux case some callers like gather_scsi_host_caps needed the
return code of -1 while others like update_caps needed an empty
statement (to avoid a "statement without effect" warning). This is much
simpler solved by using a function instead of a define.

14ba72b640 Fix release of resources with lockd plugin
The lockd plugin for the lock manager was not correctly
handling the release of resource locks. This meant that
during migration, or when pausing a VM, the locks would
not get released. This in turn made it impossible to
resume the domain, or finish migration

fc8a231018 build: avoid non-portable cast of pthread_t
POSIX says pthread_t is opaque.  We can't guarantee if it is scaler
or a pointer, nor what size it is; and BSD differs from Linux.
We've also had reports of gcc complaining on attempts to cast it,
if we use a cast to the wrong type (for example, pointers have to be
cast to void* or intptr_t before being narrowed; while casting a
function return of scalar pthread_t to void* triggers a different
warning).

Give up on casts, and use unions to get at decent bits instead.  And
rather than futz around with figuring which 32 bits of a potentially
64-bit pointer are most likely to be unique, convert the rest of
the code base to use 64-bit values when using a debug id.

Based on a report by Guido Günther against kFreeBSD, but with a
fix that doesn't regress commit 4d970fd29 for FreeBSD.

* src/util/virthreadpthread.c (virThreadSelfID, virThreadID): Use
union to get at a decent bit representation of thread_t bits.

signature.

d2686140e1 network: fix network driver startup for qemu:///session
This should resolve https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=958907

Recent new addition of code to read/write active network state to the
NETWORK_STATE_DIR in the network driver broke startup for
qemu:///session. The network driver had several state file paths
hardcoded to /var, which could never possibly work in session mode.

This patch modifies *all* state files to use a variable string that is
set differently according to whether or not we're running
privileged. (It turns out that logDir was never used, so it's been
completely eliminated.)

There are very definitely other problems preventing dnsmasq and radvd
from running in non-privileged mode, but it's more consistent to have
the directories used by them be determined in the same fashion.

NB: I've noted before that the network driver is storing its state
(including dnsmasq and radvd state) in /var/lib, while qemu stores its
state in /var/run. It would probably have been better if the two
matched, but it's been this way for a long time, and changing it would
break running installations during an upgrade, so it's best to just
leave it as it is.

e482693b24 pci: autolearn name of stub driver, remove from arglist
virPCIDeviceReattach and virPCIDeviceUnbindFromStub (called by
virPCIDeviceReattach) had previously required the name of the stub
driver as input. This is unnecessary, because the name of the driver
the device is currently bound to can be found by looking at the link:

  /sys/bus/pci/dddd:bb:ss.ff/driver

Instead of requiring that the name of the expected stub driver name
and only unbinding if that one name is matched, we no longer take a
driver name in the arglist for either of these
functions. virPCIDeviceUnbindFromStub just compares the name of the
currently bound driver to a list of "well known" stubs (right now
contains "pci-stub" and "vfio-pci" for qemu, and "pciback" for xen),
and only performs the unbind if it's one of those devices.

This allows virsh nodedevice-reattach to work properly across a
libvirtd restart, and fixes a couple of cases where we were
erroneously still hard-coding "pci-stub" as the drive name.

For some unknown reason, virPCIDeviceReattach had been calling
modprobe on the stub driver prior to unbinding the device. This was
problematic because we no longer know the name of the stub driver in
that function. However, it is pointless to probe for the stub driver
at that time anyway - because the device is bound to the stub driver,
we are guaranteed that it is already loaded, and so that call to
modprobe has been removed.

3a82f628a9 S390: Do not generate a default USB controller
For s390 we don't want to have a default USB device generated even
if QEMU is silently tolerating -usb on the command line. This may change
in the future.
Another reason to avoid the USB controller is that it implies a PCI
bus which might cause a regression at some later point in time.
The following change will set the USB controller model to 'none'
unless a model or address has been specified, which can be the case
if a legacy definition is loaded or the XML writer knows what
she/he's doing.
Requiring the user to explicitly disable USB on systems not supporting
it seems cumbersome.

f6966b6277 qemu: fix failure to start with spice graphics and no tls
Commit eca3fdf inadvertantly caused a failure to start for any domain
with the following in its config:

    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'/>

The problem is that when tlsPort == 0 and defaultMode == "any" (which
is the default for defaultMode), this would be flagged in the code as
"needTLSPort", and if there was then no spice tls config, the new
error+fail would happen.

This patch checks for the case of defaultMode == "any", and in that
case simply doesn't allocate a TLS port (since that's probably not
what the user wanted, and it would have failed later anyway.). It does
leave the error in place for cases when the user specifically asked to
use tls in one way or another, though.

811143c0b6 qemu: put usb cgroup setup in common function
The USB-specific cgroup setup had been inserted inline in
qemuDomainAttachHostUsbDevice and qemuSetupCgroup, but now there is a
common cgroup setup function called for all hostdevs, so it makes sens
to put the usb-specific setup there and just rely on that function
being called.

The one thing I'm uncertain of here (and a reason for not pushing
until after release) is that previously hostdev->missing was checked
only when starting a domain (and cgroup setup for the device skipped
if missing was true), but with this consolidation, it is now checked
in the case of hotplug as well. I don't know if this will have any
practical effect (does it make sense to hotplug a "missing" usb
device?)

6e13860cb4 qemu: add vfio devices to cgroup ACL when appropriate
PCIO device assignment using VFIO requires read/write access by the
qemu process to /dev/vfio/vfio, and /dev/vfio/nn, where "nn" is the
VFIO group number that the assigned device belongs to (and can be
found with the function virPCIDeviceGetVFIOGroupDev)

/dev/vfio/vfio can be accessible to any guest without danger
(according to vfio developers), so it is added to the static ACL.

The group device must be dynamically added to the cgroup ACL for each
vfio hostdev in two places:

1) for any devices in the persistent config when the domain is started
   (done during qemuSetupCgroup())

2) at device attach time for any hotplug devices (done in
   qemuDomainAttachHostDevice)

The group device must be removed from the ACL when a device it
"hot-unplugged" (in qemuDomainDetachHostDevice())

Note that USB devices are already doing their own cgroup setup and
teardown in the hostdev-usb specific function. I chose to make the new
functions generic and call them in a common location though. We can
then move the USB-specific code (which is duplicated in two locations)
to this single location. I'll be posting a followup patch to do that.

line for it is just '-usb', with no mention of the PCI bus.

The implicit IDE controller (reserved address 0:0:1.1) has
no command line at all.

Commit b33eb0dc removed the ability to reserve PCI addresses
on machines without a PCI bus. This made them stop working,
since there would always be the implicit USB controller.

Skip the reservation of addresses for these controllers when
there is no PCI bus, instead of failing.

19635f7d0d conf: remove extraneous _TYPE from driver backend enums
This isn't strictly speaking a bugfix, but I realized I'd gotten a bit
too verbose when I chose the names for
VIR_DOMAIN_HOSTDEV_PCI_BACKEND_TYPE_*. This shortens them all a bit.

d64e114f14 network: support <driver name='vfio'/> in network definitions
I remembered to document this bit, but somehow forgot to implement it.

This adds <driver name='kvm|vfio'/> as a subelement to the <forward>
element of a network (this puts it parallel to the match between
mode='hostdev' attribute in a network and type='hostdev' in an
<interface>).

Since it's already documented, only the parser, formatter, backend
driver recognition (it just translates/moves the flag into the
<interface> at the appropriate time), and a test case were needed.

(I used a separate enum for the values both because the original is
defined in domain_conf.h, which is unavailable from network_conf.h,
and because in the future it's possible that we may want to support
other non-hostdev oriented driver names in the network parser; this
makes sure that one can be expanded without the other).

2d80fbb14d qemu: launch bridge helper from libvirtd
<source type='bridge'> uses a helper application to do the necessary
TUN/TAP setup to use an existing network bridge, thus letting
unprivileged users use TUN/TAP interfaces.

However, libvirt should be preventing QEMU from running any setuid
programs at all, which would include this helper program.  From
a security POV, any setuid helper needs to be run by libvirtd itself,
not QEMU.

This is what this patch does.  libvirt now invokes the setuid helper,
gets the TAP fd and then passes it to QEMU in the normal manner.
The path to the helper is specified in qemu.conf.

As a small advantage, this adds a <target dev='tap0'/> element to the
XML of an active domain using <interface type='bridge'>.

740d98a17d virnetdevtap: add virNetDevTapGetName
This will be used on a tap file descriptor returned by the bridge helper
to populate the <target> element, because the helper does not provide
the interface name.
