Refactor the security drivers to simplify usage
The current security driver usage requires horrible code like if (driver->securityDriver && driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel && driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel(driver->securityDriver, vm, hostdev) < 0) This pair of checks for NULL clutters up the code, making the driver calls 2 lines longer than they really need to be. The goal of the patchset is to change the calling convention to simply if (virSecurityManagerSetHostdevLabel(driver->securityDriver, vm, hostdev) < 0) The first check for 'driver->securityDriver' being NULL is removed by introducing a 'no op' security driver that will always be present if no real driver is enabled. This guarentees driver->securityDriver != NULL. The second check for 'driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel' being non-NULL is hidden in a new abstraction called virSecurityManager. This separates the driver callbacks, from main internal API. The addition of a virSecurityManager object, that is separate from the virSecurityDriver struct also allows for security drivers to carry state / configuration information directly. Thus the DAC/Stack drivers from src/qemu which used to pull config from 'struct qemud_driver' can now be moved into the 'src/security' directory and store their config directly. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Update to use new virSecurityManager APIs * src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.h src/qemu/qemu_security_stacked.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_stacked.h: Move into src/security directory * src/security/security_stack.c, src/security/security_stack.h, src/security/security_dac.c, src/security/security_dac.h: Generic versions of previous QEMU specific drivers * src/security/security_apparmor.c, src/security/security_apparmor.h, src/security/security_driver.c, src/security/security_driver.h, src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/security_selinux.h: Update to take virSecurityManagerPtr object as the first param in all callbacks * src/security/security_nop.c, src/security/security_nop.h: Stub implementation of all security driver APIs. * src/security/security_manager.h, src/security/security_manager.c: New internal API for invoking security drivers * src/libvirt.c: Add missing debug for security APIs
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.

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.
