Daniel P. Berrange 987e31edc9 Add domain events for graphics network clients
This introduces a new event type

   VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_GRAPHICS

The same event can be emitted in 3 scenarios

  typedef enum {
      VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_CONNECT = 0,
      VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_INITIALIZE,
      VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_DISCONNECT,
  } virDomainEventGraphicsPhase;

Connect/disconnect are triggered at socket accept/close.
The initialize phase is immediately after the protocol
setup and authentication has completed. ie when the
client is authorized and about to start interacting with
the graphical desktop

This event comes with *a lot* of potential information

 - IP address, port & address family of client
 - IP address, port & address family of server
 - Authentication scheme (arbitrary string)
 - Authenticated subject identity. A subject may have
   multiple identities with some authentication schemes.
   For example, vencrypt+sasl results in a x509dname
   and saslUsername identities.

This results in a very complicated callback :-(

   typedef enum {
      VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4,
      VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV6,
   } virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType;

   struct _virDomainEventGraphicsAddress {
       int family;
       const char *node;
       const char *service;
   };
   typedef struct _virDomainEventGraphicsAddress virDomainEventGraphicsAddress;
   typedef virDomainEventGraphicsAddress *virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr;

   struct _virDomainEventGraphicsSubject {
      int nidentity;
      struct {
          const char *type;
          const char *name;
      } *identities;
   };
   typedef struct _virDomainEventGraphicsSubject virDomainEventGraphicsSubject;
   typedef virDomainEventGraphicsSubject *virDomainEventGraphicsSubjectPtr;

   typedef void (*virConnectDomainEventGraphicsCallback)(virConnectPtr conn,
                                                         virDomainPtr dom,
                                                         int phase,
                                                         virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr local,
                                                         virDomainEventGraphicsAddressPtr remote,
                                                         const char *authScheme,
                                                         virDomainEventGraphicsSubjectPtr subject,
                                                         void *opaque);

The wire protocol is similarly complex

   struct remote_domain_event_graphics_address {
     int family;
     remote_nonnull_string node;
     remote_nonnull_string service;
   };

   const REMOTE_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_IDENTITY_MAX = 20;

   struct remote_domain_event_graphics_identity {
     remote_nonnull_string type;
     remote_nonnull_string name;
   };

   struct remote_domain_event_graphics_msg {
     remote_nonnull_domain dom;
     int phase;
     remote_domain_event_graphics_address local;
     remote_domain_event_graphics_address remote;
     remote_nonnull_string authScheme;
     remote_domain_event_graphics_identity subject<REMOTE_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_IDENTITY_MAX>;
   };

This is currently implemented in QEMU for the VNC graphics
protocol, but designed to be usable with SPICE graphics in
the future too.

    libvirt Python Bindings README
    ==============================

Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script  generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml


Manually written files:

 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
   suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
   into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object


Auto-generated files:

  - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
    with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
  - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
    auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
  - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
    the libvirt-override.c method table
