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.

Eric Blake bfc183c1e3 security: fix deadlock with prefork
Attempts to start a domain with both SELinux and DAC security
modules loaded will deadlock; latent problem introduced in commit
fdb3bde and exposed in commit 29fe5d7.  Basically, when recursing
into the security manager for other driver's prefork, we have to
undo the asymmetric lock taken at the manager level.

Reported by Jiri Denemark, with diagnosis help from Dan Berrange.

* src/security/security_stack.c (virSecurityStackPreFork): Undo
extra lock grabbed during recursion.

         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.
