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.

Daniel Henrique Barboza 33ddfaf4e6 scripts/check-aclrules.py: check ACL for domain_driver.c ACL callers
This script works under two specific conditions. For each opened file,
search for all functions that has ACL calls and store them, and see
if there is a vir*DriverPtr struct declared in it. For each implementation
found, check if there is an ACL verification inside it, and error out if
none was found. The script also supports the concept of stub, where another
function takes the responsibility for the ACL call instead of the
original API.

Unfortunately this is not enough to cover the new scenario we have now,
with domain_driver.c containing helper functions that execute the ACL
calls. The script does not store state between files because, until now,
it wasn't needed to - APIs and stubs and vir*DriverPtr declarations were
always in the same file. Also, the script will not check for ACL in functions
that does not belong to a vir*DriverPtr interface. What we have now in
domain_driver.c breaks both assumptions: the functions are in a different
file, and there is no vir*DriverPtr being implemented in the file that
uses these functions.

This patch changes check-aclrules.py to accomodate this scenario. The helpers
that have ACL checks are stored beforehand in aclFuncHelpers, allowing other
files to use them to recognize a stub situation. In case the current file
being analyzed is domain_driver.c itself, we'll do a manual check using
aclFuncHelpers to verify that these functions indeed have ACL checks.

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.
