From time to time weird bugreports occur on the list, e.g [1]. Even though the kernel supports setns syscall, there's an older glibc in the system that misses a wrapper over the syscall. Hence, after the configure phase we think there's no setns support in the system, which is obviously wrong. On the other hand, we can't rely on linux distributions to provide newer glibc soon. Therefore we need to introduce the wrapper on or own. 1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-September/msg00492.html Signed-off-by: Stephan Sachse <ste.sachse@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
