Martin Kletzander 993c7f0030 tests: Minor adjustments for test data
This patch modifies some not yet used test data so that the adding a test using
this data is a clean patch and not an addition of huge file with some
adjustments in small files that will be hidden in the middle of that commit.
These changes include:

- Add system dir in vircaps2xmldata/linux-caches

  Back when data for systems with resctrl support were added they had the
  /sys/fs/system directory put into a system/ subdir of the test and
  /sys/fs/resctrl in a resctrl/ subdir of that test.  However, if we also want a
  negative test for the resctrl (requesting allocation on a system that does not
  support resctrl), we need one a test case with any sensible (with cache info)
  system/ subdir and no resctrl/ one.  Easiest way is to add a
  system -> . symlink into existing test case.

- Change default group schemata for linux-resctrl and linux-resctrl-cdp

  That way we can fit some allocation in.

- Remove one cache from resctrl-skx's schemata and make some room for
  allocations

  That system already has only one cache, so that file was wrong anyway.  We
  have a version with 2 caches already (linux-resctrl-skx-twocaches), so this
  will also add variety to future tests.

- Add some empty allocation for resctrl-skx

  Just to have slightly more coverage and variety.  We can be sure nothing bad
  happens if such allocation exists in case we have that in the tests.

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.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:

https://libvirt.org

License

The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.

Installation

Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install

While to build & install as an unprivileged user

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install

The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.

Contributing

The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
