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.

Michal Privoznik 5a72397ee1 virPerfEventIsEnabled: Don't crash on shut off domains
So imagine the following. You connect read only to a daemon and
try to fetch stats for a shut off domain, e.g.:

  virsh -r domstats $dom

but all of a sudden, virsh instead of printing the stats throws
the following error at you:

  error: Disconnected from qemu:///system due to I/O error
  error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error

The daemon crashed. This is its backtrace:

#0  0x00007fa43e3751a8 in virPerfEventIsEnabled (perf=0x0, type=VIR_PERF_EVENT_MBMT) at util/virperf.c:241

241         return event->enabled;

Problem is, shut off domains don't have priv->perf allocated.
Therefore if in frame #1 qemuDomainGetStatsPerf() tries to check
if perf events are enabled, NULL is passed to
virPerfEventIsEnabled() which due to some incredible
implementation dereference it. Fix this by checking whether
passed object is not NULL.

         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.
