Michal Privoznik 135233df26 qemuNamespaceMknodOne: Call g_file_read_link() in async-signal-safe fashion
When creating a node in QEMU's namespace the whole link chain is
created with it. Here, we use g_file_read_link() from the child
(running inside the namespace) to learn whether a link exists and
points to expected target. Now, when building the namespace there
can't be any symlinks and this g_file_read_link() returns NULL
always. And because we pass a local GError variable to it, glib
tries to set it to a localized error message. This comes with
creating a (static) hash table inside of g_strerror() and is
guarded with a mutex. The hash table is also allocated using
GSlice allocator instead of g_malloc, and since the latter is
safe to use after fork (because it's documented to use plain
malloc), glib went with the former, naturally. Now, GSlice
allocator has plenty of internal mutexes and thus hitting a
locked mutex is not that hard.

Fortunately, we don't care about any error from
g_file_read_link() and thus we can pass NULL which avoids calling
g_strerror().

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
