Eric Blake 684c90bfbc tests: split long lines
Long lines are harder to read and harder to diff; in fact, if lines get
too long (> 1000 bytes), it starts causing issues where git send-email
refuses to send patches for the file.  I've cleaned up the tests
directory in the past (see commits bd6c46f, 3b750d1), but new long
lines have been introduced in the meantime.

Why 90 instead of 80? Because there were too many tests on the fringe
edge, and I didn't want to edit that many files.

Add a syntax check to prevent future long lines.

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_long_lines): New rule.

Eric Blake 1e503ee534 build: honor autogen.sh --no-git
Based on a report by Chandrashekar Shastri, at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979360

On systems where git cannot access the outside world, a developer
can instead arrange to get a copy of gnulib at the right commit
via side channels (such as NFS share drives), set GNULIB_SRCDIR,
then use ./autogen.sh --no-git.  In this setup, we will now
avoid direct use of git.  Of course, this means no automatic
gnulib updates when libvirt.git updates its submodule, but it
is expected that any developer in such a situation is already
prepared to deal with the fallout.

* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap.
* bootstrap: Synchronize from gnulib.
* autogen.sh (no_git): Avoid git when requested.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Skip automatic rerun of bootstrap if
we can't use git.
* docs/compiling.html.in: Document this setup.
* docs/hacking.html.in: Mention this.

Daniel P. Berrange 8845d8dfa3 Remove & ban use of select() for waiting for I/O
Use of the select() system call is inherantly dangerous since
applications will hit a buffer overrun if any FD number exceeds
the size of the select set size (typically 1024). Replace the
two uses of select() with poll() and use cfg.mk to ban any
future use of select().

NB: This changes the phyp driver so that it uses an infinite
timeout, instead of busy-waiting for 1ms at a time.

Laine Stump bfe7721d50 util: move virFile* functions from virutil.c to virfile.c
These all existed before virfile.c was created, and for some reason
weren't moved.

This is mostly straightfoward, although the syntax rule prohibiting
write() had to be changed to have an exception for virfile.c instead
of virutil.c.

This movement pointed out that there is a function called
virBuildPath(), and another almost identical function called
virFileBuildPath(). They really should be a single function, which
I'll take care of as soon as I figure out what the arglist should look
like.

Eric Blake 1fbf190554 build: avoid unsafe functions in libgen.h
POSIX says that both basename() and dirname() may return static
storage (aka they need not be thread-safe); and that they may but
not must modify their input argument.  Furthermore, <libgen.h>
is not available on all platforms.  For these reasons, you should
never use these functions in a multi-threaded library.

Gnulib instead recommends a way to avoid the portability nightmare:
gnulib's "dirname.h" provides useful thread-safe counterparts.  The
obvious dir_name() and base_name() are GPL (because they malloc(),
but call exit() on failure) so we can't use them; but the LGPL
variants mdir_name() (malloc's or returns NULL) and last_component
(always points into the incoming string without modifying it,
differing from basename semantics only on corner cases like the
empty string that we shouldn't be hitting in the first place) are
already in use in libvirt.  This finishes the swap over to the safe
functions.

Daniel P. Berrange d14524701a Add a test suite for cgroups functionality
Some aspects of the cgroups setup / detection code are quite subtle
and easy to break. It would greatly benefit from unit testing, but
this is difficult because the test suite won't have privileges to
play around with cgroups. The solution is to use monkey patching
via LD_PRELOAD to override the fopen, open, mkdir, access functions
to redirect access of cgroups files to some magic stubs in the
test suite.

Using this we provide custom content for the /proc/cgroup and
/proc/self/mounts files which report a fixed cgroup setup. We
then override open/mkdir/access so that access to the cgroups
filesystem gets redirected into files in a temporary directory
tree in the test suite build dir.

Eric Blake c8f79c9b29 spec: indent %if to make it easier to see conditions
Nested conditionals are hard to read if they are not indented.
We can't add arbitrary whitespace to everything in spec files,
but we CAN add spaces before %if and %define.  Use this trick,
plus a fancy sed script that rewrites a spec file into a C
file, so we can use cppi to keep our spec file nice.

For reference, the sed script converts code like:

|# RHEL-5 builds are client-only for s390, ppc
|%if 0%{?rhel} == 5
|    %ifnarch %{ix86} x86_64 ia64
|        %define client_only        1
|    %endif
|%endif

into the following for cppi:

|// # RHEL-5 builds are client-only for s390, ppc
|#if a // 0%{?rhel} == 5
|# if a // %{ix86} x86_64 ia64
|#  define client_only        1
|# endif
|#endif

and errors from 'make syntax-check' look like:
spec_indentation
cppi: mingw-libvirt.spec.in: line 130: not properly indented
maint.mk: incorrect preprocessor indentation

* libvirt.spec.in: Add some indentation to make it easier to follow

Daniel P. Berrange 3d1596b048 Introduce an LXC specific public API & library
This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.

The actual APIs are

  int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                int **fdlist,
                                unsigned int flags);

  int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                 unsigned int nfdlist,
                                 int *fdlist,
                                 unsigned int *noldfdlist,
                                 int **oldfdlist,
                                 unsigned int flags);

which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.

NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

Daniel P. Berrange 907a39e735 Add a test suite for validating SELinux labelling
There are many aspects of the guest XML which result in the
SELinux driver applying file labelling. With the increasing
configuration options it is desirable to test this behaviour.
It is not possible to assume that the test suite has the
ability to set SELinux labels. Most filesystems though will
support extended attributes. Thus for the purpose of testing,
it is possible to extend the existing LD_PRELOAD hack to
override setfilecon() and getfilecon() to simply use the
'user.libvirt.selinux' attribute for the sake of testing.

Daniel P. Berrange cd699ed150 Add some autoconf helper macros for checking for libraries
Most checks for libraries take the same format

  * --with-libFOO=yes|no|check|/some/path  argument
  * check for a function NNN in libFOO.so
  * check for a header file DDD/HHH.h
  * Define a WITH_FOO config.h symbol
  * Define a WITH_FOO make conditional
  * Substitute FOO_CFLAGS and FOO_LIBS make variables
  * Print CFLAGS & LIBS summary at the end

Doing all this correctly is rather difficult, typically
done by copy+paste of a previous usage. Further small
improvements people make are not applied to all previous
usages.

Improve this by creating some helper macros to apply
good practice. First, to perform the actual checks:

  LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB([SELINUX], [selinux],
     [getfilecon], [selinux/selinux.h])

This checks for 'getfilecon' in -lselinux, and the
existence of 'selinux/selinux.h' header file. If successful
it sets SELINUX_CFLAGS and SELINUX_LIBS. The WITH_SELINUX
config.h macro and WITH_SELINUX make conditional are also
defined.

In some cases we need to check two variants of the same
library

  LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB_ALT([SASL], [sasl2],
                        [sasl_client_init], [sasl/sasl.h],
                        [SASL1], [sasl],
                        [sasl_client_init], [sasl/sasl.h])

This checks for sasl_client_init in libsasl2, and if that
is not found, checks sasl_client_init in libsasl. If the
first check succeeds WITH_SASL is set, while if the second
check succeeds *both* WITH_SASL and WITH_SASL1 are set.

If the library supports pkg-config, then another variant
is available

  LIBVIRT_CHECK_PKG([AVAHI], [avahi-client], [0.6.0])

This checks for avahi-client >= 0.6.0 via pkg-config
and sets WITH_AVAHI if found.

Finally to print a summary of CFLAGS & LIBs found (if any):

  LIBVIRT_RESULT_LIB([SELINUX])

Daniel P. Berrange c57e3d8994 Introduce basic infrastructure for virtlockd daemon
The virtlockd daemon will maintain locks on behalf of libvirtd.
There are two reasons for it to be separate

 - Avoid risk of other libvirtd threads accidentally
   releasing fcntl() locks by opening + closing a file
   that is locked
 - Ensure locks can be preserved across libvirtd restarts.
   virtlockd will need to be able to re-exec itself while
   maintaining locks. This is simpler to achieve if its
   sole job is maintaining locks

Laine Stump 85b22f528f util: add VIR_(APPEND|INSERT|DELETE)_ELEMENT
I noticed when writing the backend functions for virNetworkUpdate that
I was repeating the same sequence of memmove, VIR_REALLOC, nXXX-- (and
messed up the args to memmove at least once), and had seen the same
sequence in a lot of other places, so I decided to write a few
utility functions/macros - see the .h file for full documentation.

The intent is to reduce the number of lines of code, but more
importantly to eliminate the need to check the element size and
element count arithmetic every time we need to do this (I *always*
make at least one mistake.)

VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT: insert one element at an arbitrary index within an
  array of objects. The size of each object is determined
  automatically by the macro using sizeof(*array). The new element's
  contents are copied into the inserted space, then the original copy
  of contents are 0'ed out (if everything else was
  successful). Compile-time assignment and size compatibility between
  the array and the new element is guaranteed (see explanation below
  [*])

VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT_COPY: identical to VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT, except that
  the original contents of newelem are not cleared to 0 (i.e. a copy
  is made).

VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT: This is just a special case of VIR_INSERT_ELEMENT
  that "inserts" one past the current last element.

VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT_COPY: identical to VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT, except that
  the original contents of newelem are not cleared to 0 (i.e. a copy
  is made).

VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT: delete one element at an arbitrary index within an
  array of objects. It's assumed that the element being deleted is
  already saved elsewhere (or cleared, if that's what is appropriate).

All five of these macros have an _INPLACE variant, which skips the
memory re-allocation of the array, assuming that the caller has
already done it (when inserting) or will do it later (when deleting).

Note that VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT* can return a failure, but only if an
invalid index is given (index + amount to delete is > current array
size), so in most cases you can safely ignore the return (that's why
the helper function virDeleteElementsN isn't declared with
ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK). A warning is logged if this ever happens,
since it is surely a coding error.

[*] One initial problem with the INSERT and APPEND macros was that,
due to both the array pointer and newelem pointer being cast to void*
when passing to virInsertElementsN(), any chance of type-checking was
lost. If we were going to move in newelem with a memmove anyway, we
would be no worse off for this. However, most current open-coded
insert/append operations use direct struct assignment to move the new
element into place (or just populate the new element directly) - thus
use of the new macros would open a possibility for new usage errors
that didn't exist before (e.g. accidentally sending &newelemptr rather
than newelemptr - I actually did this quite a lot in my test
conversions of existing code).

But thanks to Eric Blake's clever thinking, I was able to modify the
INSERT and APPEND macros so that they *do* check for both assignment
and size compatibility of *ptr (an element in the array) and newelem
(the element being copied into the new position of the array). This is
done via clever use of the C89-guaranteed fact that the sizeof()
operator must have *no* side effects (so an assignment inside sizeof()
is checked for validity, but not actually evaluated), and the fact
that virInsertElementsN has a "# of new elements" argument that we
want to always be 1.

Eric Blake 55dc872bd8 build: fix incremental autogen.sh when no AUTHORS is present
Commit 71d1256 tried to fix a problem where rebasing an old
branch on top of newer libvirt.git resulted in automake failing
because of a missing AUTHORS file.  However, while the fix
worked for an incremental 'make', it did not work for someone
that directly reran './autogen.sh'.  Reported by Laine Stump.

* autogen.sh (autoreconf): Check for same conditions as cfg.mk.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Add comments.

Eric Blake 71d125620d build: rerun bootstrap if AUTHORS is missing
Ever since commit 7b21981c started generating AUTHORS, we now have
the situation that if you flip between two branches in the same
git repository that cross that commit boundary, then 'make' will
fail due to automake complaining about AUTHORS not existing.  The
simplest solution is to realize that if AUTHORS does not exist,
then we flipped branches so we will need to rerun bootstrap
anyways; and rerunning bootstrap ensures AUTHORS will exist in time.

* cfg.mk (_update_required): Also depend on AUTHORS.

Daniel P. Berrange a3e95abeb5 Document bracket whitespace rules & add syntax-check rule
This documents the following whitespace rules

      if(foo)   // Bad
      if (foo)  // Good

      int foo (int wizz)  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz)   // Good

      bar = foo (wizz);  // Bad
      bar = foo(wizz);   // Good

      typedef int (*foo) (int wizz);  // Bad
      typedef int (*foo)(int wizz);   // Good

      int foo( int wizz );  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz);    // Good

There is a syntax-check rule extension to validate all these rules.
Checking for 'function (...args...)' is quite difficult since it
needs to ignore valid usage with keywords like 'if (...test...)'
and while/for/switch. It must also ignore source comments and
quoted strings.

It is not possible todo this with a simple regex in the normal
syntax-check style. So a short Perl script is created instead
to analyse the source. In practice this works well enough. The
only thing it can't cope with is multi-line quoted strings of
the form

 "start of string\
more lines\
more line\
the end"

but this can and should be written as

 "start of string"
 "more lines"
 "more line"
 "the end"

with this simple change, the bracket checking script does not
have any false positives across libvirt source, provided it
is only run against .c files. It is not practical to run it
against .h files, since those use whitespace extensively to
get alignment (though this is somewhat inconsistent and could
arguably be fixed).

The only limitation is that it cannot detect a violation where
the first arg starts with a '*', eg

   foo(*wizz);

since this generates too many false positives on function
typedefs which can't be supressed efficiently.

Michal Privoznik 30b398d5ef logging.c: Properly indent and ignore one syntax-check rule
With our fix of mkostemp (pushed as 2b435c15) we define a macro
to compile with uclibc. However, this definition is conditional
and thus needs to be properly indented. Moreover, with this definition
sc_prohibit_mkstemp syntax-check rule keeps yelling:

  src/util/logging.c:63:# define mkostemp(x,y) mkstemp(x)
  maint.mk: use mkostemp with O_CLOEXEC instead of mkstemp

Therefore we should ignore this file for this rule.
