Despite being a generated file, HACKING has been tracked in
the git repository along with actual source files. As far as
I'm aware, it's the only generated file for which that happens.
Times and times again, people[1] have committed changes to
the source file without refreshing the generated copy at the
same time.
The rationale for tracking the generated file is to help out
people who just cloned the git repository looking to contribue;
however, README-hacking already contains enough information to
get perspective contributors to a place where they can simply
look at docs/hacking.html instead.

This mock (which is actually not mock at all, see later) can redirect
all accesses to a path into another path. There is no need to
create mocks for particular directories, you just create a directory
with all the data a redirect the test there.
In the future, this should also be able to register callbacks for
calls/paths, e.g. when the test is going to write into anything under
"/sys/devices", call function fce(); Then in the open() call we would
add information about the fd into some structure and in write() we
would call fce() with parameters like @path to write to, @data to
be written and pointer to optional return value, so that fce() itself
could stop the call from happening or change its behaviour. But
that's an idea for a latter day.
This is not a mock because it will not be preloaded, but compiled in
the test itself. See future patches for usage.

Per xen-xl conversions from and to native under host-passthrough
mode we take care for Xen (nestedhvm = mode) applied and inherited
settings generating or processing correct feature policy:
[On Intel (VT-x) architectures]
<feature policy='disable' name='vmx'/>
or
[On AMD (AMD-V) architectures]
<feature policy='disable' name='svm'/>
It will then generate (or parse) for nestedhvm=1 in/from xl format.

The goal is twofold: firstly, we want to extend the script so
that it can deal with more than a single git submodule, and
secondly we'd like to reduce the amount of duplicated code.
Moreover, since we're making heavy changes to the code anyway,
we might as well make sure it follows a somewhat consistent
coding style too.
To reduce code duplication, we introduce a new --dry-run
option, which can be used by third parties to figure out
whether calling autogen.sh is necessary or not: this allows
us to get rid of the reimplementation of part of the logic
in cfg.mk and guarantee they'll never get out of sync.
Other changes include: making dirty submodules checking and
cleaning entirely independent of other operations; removing
the use of 'set -e' and handling errors explicitly instead;
better parsing of command line arguments.
CLang's optimizer is more aggressive at inlining functions than
gcc and so will often inline functions that our tests want to
mock-override. This causes the test to fail in bizarre ways.
We don't want to disable inlining completely, but we must at
least prevent inlining of mocked functions. Fortunately there
is a 'noinline' attribute that lets us control this per function.
A syntax check rule is added that parses tests/*mock.c to extract
the list of functions that are mocked (restricted to names starting
with 'vir' prefix). It then checks that src/*.h header file to
ensure it has a 'ATTRIBUTE_NOINLINE' annotation. This should prevent
use from bit-rotting in future.

There is no reason for it not to be in the utils, all global symbols

Now that we have some qemuSecurity wrappers over
virSecurityManager APIs, lets make sure everybody sticks with
them. We have them for a reason and calling virSecurityManager
API directly instead of wrapper may lead into accidentally
labelling a file on the host instead of namespace.

The utils code should stay separated from other code (except for very
well justified cases). Unfortunately commit 272769becc
made it trivial to break the separation (and not get slapped by the
syntax-check rule) by adding -I src/conf to the CFLAGS for utils.
Remove this shortcut and except the two offenders from the syntax check
so that the codebase can be kept separated.
Problem with VIR_FREE() is that we are not linking
libvirt-utils.so to our mock libs therefore there will be an
unresolved symbol. Fortunately, nsstest that eventually links
with the nssmock links also with libvirt-utils.so and thus the
symbol is resolved after all. However, if one wants to run the
test binary under valgrind it is impossible to do so. Because of
the unresolved symbol.

This initially started as a fix of some debug printing in
virCgroupDetect. However it turned out that other places suffer
from the similar problem. While dealing with pids, esp. in cases
where we cannot use pid_t for ABI stability reasons, we often
chose an unsigned integer type. This makes no sense as pid_t is
signed.
Also, new syntax-check rule is introduced so we won't repeat this
mistake.

Some of the examples make use of asprintf and strtol functions (to keep
things simple) which are prohibited to use within our code (enforced by
syntax-check). Therefore besides adding some examples, this patch also updates
cfg.mk to exclude examples directory from asprintf and strtol rules, as well as
updates .gitignore to exclude all the new admin binaries created in the
'examples' dir.

This script can already operate on a list of files.
Add a --check parameter to check if multiple files are wrapped
correctly with a single invocation of the script.
This checks forbids using "can not" and checks the placement
of some texinfo tags.
Drop it since we do not use texinfo and the check takes almost
twice as much as the rest of the checks.
The prohibit_nonreentrant syntax-check rule spawns a new shell
for every non-reentrant function we know, to make it easier
to mention the function name in the error message, with the _r
appended.
Since the line with the offending function is already printed
and some of the functions on our list do not have a _r counterpart,
compile them into one big regex and use a more generic error message
to save time.

Fix the regex for excluding files for this syntax-rule. The rule "include/"
will not work, because we are matching the whole line like this
"^(...|include/|...)$ so we need to use "include/libvirt/libvirt.+". The second
issue is that we are using only one '$' but there should be two of those at the
end. The last small adjustment is to escape dots '.' so it match only dot.

There is a lot to explain, but I try to make it as short as
possible. I'd start by pasting some parts of sys/stat.h:
extern int stat (const char *__restrict __file,
struct stat *__restrict __buf) __THROW __nonnull ((1, 2));
extern int __REDIRECT_NTH (stat, (const char *__restrict __file,
struct stat *__restrict __buf), stat64)
__nonnull ((1, 2));
__extern_inline int
__NTH (stat (const char *__path, struct stat *__statbuf))
{
return __xstat (_STAT_VER, __path, __statbuf);
}
Only one of these is effective at once, due to some usage of
the mess we are dealing with in here. So, basically, while
compiling or linking stat() in our code can be transformed into
some other func. Or a dragon.
Now, if you read stat(2) manpage, esp. "C library/kernel
differences" section, you'll learn that glibc uses some tricks
for older applications to work. I haven't gotten around actual
code that does this, but based on my observations, if 'stat'
symbol is found, glibc assumes it's dealing with ancient
application. Unfortunately, it can be just ours stat coming from
our mock. Therefore, calling stat() from a test will end up in
our mock. But since glibc is not exposing the symbol anymore, our
call of real_stat() will SIGSEGV immediately as the pointer to
function is NULL. Therefore, we should expose only those symbols
we know glibc has.

Commit 61b070cf20 cleaned up a number of cases where the <dt>
element was used to document symbols, but the symbol itself was
not inside a <code> element.
To make sure we don't end up having to clean up again a few
months from now, introduce a syntax-check rule that can spot
such mistakes.
All existing exceptions are marked as such, with either file
or line granularity depending on the case.

To prevent the error messages in cfg.mk from triggering the very
same rules they're supposed to explain, we split the message in
the middle of a symbol name, ending up with stuff like
'I am a me'ssage
Instead of relying on these quotation tricks, simply exclude
cfg.mk from the relevant checks.
Being consistent is nice, especially when it comes to defining our
regular expression, where using single quotes instead of double
quotes allows us to leave out a few backslashes.
Changing this required altering a few error messages.
The only remaining use of double quotes is one where they are
actually required for the check to work.
While we have a wiki page describing the feature [1] since the

As mock libraries are not to be linked against libvirt, the
sc_prohibit_close syntax-check rule does not apply.
This fixes a syntax-check failure introduced by commit a03cbfe0fb.
There might be cases, like with typed params, where triggering this check isn't
desirable. But including the whole module in the exception regex is not always
to right way of doing things. By adding an option to manually disable this check
on a specific occurrence, the module itself will still be checked against the
rule.
