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.

A future patch wants the DAC security manager to be able to safely
get the supplemental group list for a given uid, but at the time
of a fork rather than during initialization so as to pick up on
live changes to the system's group database. This patch adds the
framework, including the possibility of a pre-fork callback
failing.
For now, any driver that implements a prefork callback must be
robust against the possibility of being part of a security stack
where a later element in the chain fails prefork. This means
that drivers cannot do any action that requires a call to postfork
for proper cleanup (no grabbing a mutex, for example). If this
is too prohibitive in the future, we would have to switch to a
transactioning sequence, where each driver has (up to) 3 callbacks:
PreForkPrepare, PreForkCommit, and PreForkAbort, to either clean
up or commit changes made during prepare.
* src/security/security_driver.h (virSecurityDriverPreFork): New
callback.
* src/security/security_manager.h (virSecurityManagerPreFork):
Change signature.
* src/security/security_manager.c (virSecurityManagerPreFork):
Optionally call into driver, and allow returning failure.
* src/security/security_stack.c (virSecurityDriverStack):
Wrap the handler for the stack driver.
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessStart): Adjust caller.

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.
