Daniel P. Berrange 686026225e Auto-generate helpers for checking access control rules
Extend the 'gendispatch.pl' script to be able to generate
three new types of file.

- 'aclheader' - defines signatures of helper APIs for
  doing authorization checks. There is one helper API
  for each API requiring an auth check. Any @acl
  annotations result in a method being generated with
  a suffix of 'EnsureACL'. If the ACL check requires
  examination of flags, an extra 'flags' param will be
  present. Some examples

  extern int virConnectBaselineCPUEnsureACL(void);
  extern int virConnectDomainEventDeregisterEnsureACL(virDomainDefPtr domain);
  extern int virDomainAttachDeviceFlagsEnsureACL(virDomainDefPtr domain, unsigned int flags);

  Any @aclfilter annotations resuilt in a method being
  generated with a suffix of 'CheckACL'.

  extern int virConnectListAllDomainsCheckACL(virDomainDefPtr domain);

  These are used for filtering individual objects from APIs
  which return a list of objects

- 'aclbody' - defines the actual implementation of the
  methods described above. This calls into the access
  manager APIs. A complex example:

    /* Returns: -1 on error (denied==error), 0 on allowed */
    int virDomainAttachDeviceFlagsEnsureACL(virConnectPtr conn,
                                            virDomainDefPtr domain,
                                            unsigned int flags)
    {
        virAccessManagerPtr mgr;
        int rv;

        if (!(mgr = virAccessManagerGetDefault()))
            return -1;

        if ((rv = virAccessManagerCheckDomain(mgr,
                                              conn->driver->name,
                                              domain,
                                              VIR_ACCESS_PERM_DOMAIN_WRITE)) <= 0) {
            virObjectUnref(mgr);
            if (rv == 0)
                virReportError(VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, NULL);
            return -1;
        }
        if (((flags & (VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG|VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE)) == 0) &&
            (rv = virAccessManagerCheckDomain(mgr,
                                              conn->driver->name,
                                              domain,
                                              VIR_ACCESS_PERM_DOMAIN_SAVE)) <= 0) {
            virObjectUnref(mgr);
            if (rv == 0)
                virReportError(VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, NULL);
            return -1;
        }
        if (((flags & (VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG)) == (VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG)) &&
            (rv = virAccessManagerCheckDomain(mgr,
                                              conn->driver->name,
                                              domain,
                                              VIR_ACCESS_PERM_DOMAIN_SAVE)) <= 0) {
            virObjectUnref(mgr);
            if (rv == 0)
                virReportError(VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, NULL);
            return -1;
        }
        virObjectUnref(mgr);
        return 0;
    }

- 'aclsyms' - generates a linker script to export the
   APIs to drivers. Some examples

  virConnectBaselineCPUEnsureACL;
  virConnectCompareCPUEnsureACL;

         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.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
