Enable full RELRO mode
By passing the flags -z relro -z now to the linker, we can force it to resolve all library symbols at startup, instead of on-demand. This allows it to then make the global offset table (GOT) read-only, which makes some security attacks harder. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit fc8c1787d8b8eb6c462b8e5b49c2b3ccf3669bc0)
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.

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
