When QEMU uid/gid is set to non-root this is pointless as if we just
used a regular setuid/setgid call, the process will have all its
capabilities cleared anyway by the kernel.
When QEMU uid/gid is set to root, this is almost (always?) never
what people actually want. People make QEMU run as root in order
to access some privileged resource that libvirt doesn't support
yet and this often requires capabilities. As a result they have
to go find the qemu.conf param to turn this off. This is not
viable for libguestfs - they want to control everything via the
XML security label to request running as root regardless of the
qemu.conf settings for user/group.
Clearing capabilities was implemented originally because there
was a proposal in Fedora to change permissions such that root,
with no capabilities would not be able to compromise the system.
ie a locked down root account. This never went anywhere though,
and as a result clearing capabilities when running as root does
not really get us any security benefit AFAICT. The root user
can easily do something like create a cronjob, which will then
faithfully be run with full capabilities, trivially bypassing
the restriction we place.
IOW, our clearing of capabilities is both useless from a security
POV, and breaks valid use cases when people need to run as root.
This removes the clear_emulator_capabilities configuration
option from qemu.conf, and always runs QEMU with capabilities
when root. The behaviour when non-root is unchanged.

When blockcommit finishes successfully, one of the

This is where the delete flag (stored in qemuBlockJobCommitData since the

Introduce a few new public APIs related to incremental backups. This
builds on the previous notion of a checkpoint (without an existing
checkpoint, the new API is a full backup, differing from
virDomainBlockCopy in the point of time chosen and in operation on
multiple disks at once); and also allows creation of a new checkpoint
at the same time as starting the backup (after all, an incremental
backup is only useful if it covers the state since the previous
backup).
A backup job also affects filtering a listing of domains, as well as
adding event reporting for signaling when a push model backup
completes (where the hypervisor creates the backup); note that the
pull model does not have an event (starting the backup lets a third
party access the data, and only the third party knows when it is
finished).

virDomainBackupBegin;
virDomainBackupGetXMLDesc;
