I ran 'make dist' in the directory left over from ./autobuild.sh
(which was configured for a mingw cross build); the resulting
tarball had more files than 'make dist' on a normal Linux build.
I traced it to the fact that we were distributing a generated
file, but only when configure said the end user had to generate
the file in the first place. In the process, I noticed that
we had some difference in symbol file names; I added a comment
explaining why the difference exists (after first trying to
normalize the names and hitting VPATH build failures).
* configure.ac (LIBVIRT_QEMU_SYMBOL_FILE): Add some comments.
* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): No need to ship a generated file;
particularly since which file is built depends on configure results.
Commit dfa1e1dd removed libxenctrl from LIBXL_LIBS, but the libxl
driver uses a symbol from this library. Explicitly link with
libxenctrl instead of relying on the build system to support
implicit DSO linking.
The functionality provided in virchrdev.c (previously virconsole.c) is
applicable to other types of character devices besides consoles, such
as channels. This patch is just code motion, renaming things such as
"console" or "pty", instead using more general terms such as
"character device" or "device path".
A recent build failure made me realize that we could usefully add
a bit more information to configure output, for aid in analysis of
failed builds. Pulling in the autobuild module merely adds these
four lines to configure output:
configure: autobuild project... libvirt
configure: autobuild revision... v1.0.1-113-g7a74eea
configure: autobuild hostname... myhost
configure: autobuild timestamp... 20130102T233543Z
which can be useful even if not using the Autobuild project to parse
build logs.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add autobuild.
* configure.ac: Favor git version over release version, when available.
Commit 8b8fcdea introduced a check for broken gcc -Wlogical-op,
but did not guard the check against non-gcc compilers, which might
lead to spurious failures when another compiler encounters an
unknown pragma. Additionally, all of our compiler warning logic
should belong in a single file, and use cache variables to allow
overriding the decision at configure time if necessary.
* configure.ac (BROKEN_GCC_WLOGICALOP): Move...
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): ...here,
and update to modern autoconf idioms.
Some older versions of GCC report a false positive on code like
char * haystack, needle;
strchr(haystack, needle);
Added an extra check in configure.ac which will
#define BROKEN_GCC_WLOGICALOP 1
in this case, allowing to special handle "offending" code.

This patch converts the Xen libxl driver to support only Xen >= 4.2.
Support for Xen 4.1 libxl is dropped since that version of libxl is
designated 'technology preview' only and is incompatible with Xen 4.2
libxl. Additionally, the default toolstack in Xen 4.1 is still xend,
for which libvirt has a stable, functional driver.
It may take some time for sanlock to add a lockspace. And if user
restart libvirtd service meanwhile, the fresh daemon can fail adding
the same lockspace with EINPROGRESS. Recent sanlock has
sanlock_inq_lockspace() function which should block until lockspace
changes state. If we are building against older sanlock we should
retry a few times before claiming an error. This issue can be easily
reproduced:
for i in {1..1000} ; do echo $i; service libvirtd restart; sleep 2; done

When using --without-$name --without-secdriver-$name with $name being
selinux or apparmor, configure will fail saying that AppArmor/SELinux
development package must be installed.
This is caused by a small bug in --with-secdriver-$name handling in
configure.ac which treats --without-secdriver-$name when $name as if the
user had requested to enable $name when $name couldn't be detected on
the system.
This commit also makes sure the detection checks for disabled
secdrivers do not needlessly get run, especially as this could
cause an error as well in --with-$name --without-secdriver-$name
situations.
libvirt started using sanlock_killpath to implement on_lockfailure
action. Since sanlock_killpath was introduced in sanlock 2.4, libvirt
fails to build with older sanlock.
We are currently able to work only with non-translated SELinux
contexts, but we are using functions that work with translated
contexts throughout the code. This patch swaps all SELinux context
translation relative calls with their raw sisters to avoid parsing
problems.
The problems can be experienced with mcstrans for example. The
difference is that if you have translations enabled (yum install
mcstrans; service mcstrans start), fgetfilecon_raw() will get you
something like 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0', whereas
fgetfilecon() will return 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemLow'
that we cannot parse.
I was trying to confirm that the _raw variants were here since the dawn of
time, but the only thing I see now is that it was imported together in
the upstream repo [1] from svn, so before 2008.
Thanks Laurent Bigonville for finding this out.

Add a read-only udev based backend for virInterface. Useful for distros
that do not have netcf support yet. Multiple libvirt based utilities use
a HAL based fallback when virInterface is not available which is less
than ideal. This implements:

* virConnectListInterfaces()
* virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListAllInterfaces()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByName()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByMACString()
curl_global_init is not thread-safe. curl_easy_init might call
curl_global_init when it was no called before. But curl_easy_init
can be called from different threads by the ESX driver. Therefore,
call curl_global_init from virInitialize to stop curl_easy_init from
calling it.

Commit f6430390 broke builds on RHEL 5, where glibc (2.5) is too
old to support mkostemp (2.7) or htole64 (2.9). While gnulib
has mkostemp, it still lacks htole64; and it's not worth dragging
in replacements on systems where journald is unlikely to exist
in the first place, so we just use an extra configure-time check
as our witness of whether to attempt compiling the code.
* src/util/logging.c (virLogParseOutputs): Don't attempt to
compile journald on older glibc.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check for htole64.
Currently if you build on a machine that does not support SELinux we end up
with the default mount point being /selinux, since this is moved to
/sys/fs/selinux, we should start defaulting there.
I believe this is causing a bug in libvirt-lxc when /selinux does not exists,
even though /sys/fs/selinux exists.
In Xen 4.2, xs.h is deprecated in favor of xenstore.h. xs.h now
contains
#warning xs.h is deprecated use xenstore.h instead
#include <xenstore.h>
which fails compilation when warnings are treated as errors.
Introduce a configure-time check for xenstore.h and if found,
use it instead of xs.h.
Commit 9298bfbcb introduced code to detect if netcf is linked with
libnl1, and to prefer libnl1 over libnl3 when this is the case.
This behaviour can be disabled by setting LIBNL_CFLAGS to any value,
including the empty string.
However, configure.ac sets LIBNL_CFLAGS to "" before attempting
libnl detection, so the libnl1 detection code is always disabled.
This caused issues on my f17 system where netcf is linked with libnl1
but libvirt got built with libnl3.
This commit removes the setting of the LIBNL_* variables to "" as
this does not appear to be needed. After this change, libnl1 is
used when building libvirt on my f17 system.
Based exclusively on work by Eric Blake in a patch posted with the same
subject. However some modifications related to comments and my plans to
add another backend.
Added WITH_INTERFACE as the only automake variable deciding whether to
build the driver and using WITH_NETCF to identify that we're wanting to
use the netcf library as the backend.
* configure.ac: Added with_interface
* src/interface/netcf_driver.c: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_backend_netcf.c: ..to this to match storage.
* src/interface/netcf_driver.h: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_driver.h: ..to this.
* daemon/Makefile.am: Respect WITH_INTERFACE and WITH_NETCF.
* libvirt.spec.in: Add RPM support for --with-interface
With this script you can run libvirt programs without needing to
install them first. You just have to do for example:
./run ./tools/virsh [args ...]
If you are already in the tools/ subdirectory, then the following
command will also work:
../run ./virsh [...]
You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this:
./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./program
or under gdb:
./run gdb --args ./program
This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt):
sudo ./run ./tools/virsh list --all
Derived from libguestfs and simplified. The ./run script in
libguestfs is much more sophisticated:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/run.in
Commit 9298bfb changed configure to split the libnl into two
separate pkg config checks instead of nesting the second check
on the failure path of the first. But the default pkg config
behavior is to abort configure if a check fails. Since we have
a second check lined up, we need an explicit failure case that
does not abort if the first check fails.
Meanwhile, commit 51b708c is reverted. It did not fix any
behavior, and in fact, introduced a regression to the fallback
case when the user explicitly sets $LIBNL_CFLAGS.
* configure.ac: Don't abort if libnl-3 is not found.
Recent spec file changes ensure that in distro situations, netcf
and libvirt will link against the same libnl in order to avoid
dumping core. But for every-day development, if you use F17 and
have the libnl3-devel headers available, libvirt was blindly
linking against libnl3 even though F17 netcf still links against
libnl1, making testing a self-built binary on F17 impossible.
By making configure a little bit smarter, we can avoid this
situation - we merely skip the probe of libnl-3 if we can prove
that netcf is still using libnl-1. I intentionally wrote the
test so that we still favor libnl-3 if netcf is not installed or
if we couldn't use ldd to determine things.
Defaults being what they are, someone will invariably complain
that our smarts were wrong. Never fear - in that case, just run
./configure LIBNL_CFLAGS=..., where the fact that you set
LIBNL_CFLAGS (even to the empty string) will go back to probing
for libnl-3, regardless of netcf's choice.
* configure.ac (LIBNL): Don't probe libnl3 if netcf doesn't use it.
FreeBSD and OpenBSD have a <net/if.h> that is not self-contained;
and mingw lacks the header altogether. But gnulib has just taken
care of that for us, so we might as well simplify our code. In
the process, I got a syntax-check failure if we don't also take
the gnulib execinfo module.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for execinfo and net_if.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add execinfo and net_if modules.
* configure.ac: Let gnulib check for headers. Simplify check for
'struct ifreq', while also including enough prereq headers.
* src/internal.h (IF_NAMESIZE): Drop, now that gnulib guarantees it.
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.h: Use correct header for
IF_NAMESIZE.
* src/util/virnetdev.c (includes): Assume <net/if.h> exists.
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/util/virnetdevtap.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/util/logging.c (includes): Assume <execinfo.h> exists.
(virLogStackTraceToFd): Handle gnulib's fallback implementation.
On OpenBSD, clock_gettime() exists in libc rather than librt, and
blindly linking with -lrt made the build fail. Gnulib already
did the work for determining which libraries to use, so we should
reuse that work rather than doing it ourselves.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Pull in clock-time.
* configure.ac (RT_LIBS): Drop.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_util_la_LIBADD): Use gnulib variable
instead.
* src/util/virtime.c (includes): Simplify.
We already skip out on building the LXC under RHEL 5, because the
kernel is too old (commits 4c18acf, 2dee896); but commit 9612e4b
moved some LXC-only code into common files, resulting in this
build failure:
util/virfile.c: In function 'virFileLoopDeviceAssociate':
util/virfile.c:580: error: 'LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR' undeclared (first use in this function)
Unfortunately, the kernel folks only made it an enum, rather than
also a #define, so we have to modify configure.ac to record when
it is usable.
* configure.ac (with_lxc): Mark when LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR was found.
* src/util/virfile.c (virFileLoopDeviceAssociate): Avoid
compilation when kernel is too old.
* configure.ac, spec file: firewalld defaults to enabled if dbus is
available, otherwise is disabled. If --with_firewalld is explicitly
requested and dbus is not available, configure will fail.
* bridge_driver: add dbus filters to get the FirewallD1.Reloaded
signal and DBus.NameOwnerChanged on org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.
When these are encountered, reload all the iptables reuls of all
libvirt's virtual networks (similar to what happens when libvirtd is
restarted).
* iptables, ebtables: use firewall-cmd's direct passthrough interface
when available, otherwise use iptables and ebtables commands. This
decision is made once the first time libvirt calls
iptables/ebtables, and that decision is maintained for the life of
libvirtd.
* Note that the nwfilter part of this patch was separated out into
another patch by Stefan in V2, so that needs to be revised and
re-reviewed as well.
================
All the configure.ac and specfile changes are unchanged from Thomas'
V3.
V3 re-ran "firewall-cmd --state" every time a new rule was added,
which was extremely inefficient. V4 uses VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT to set
up a one-time initialization function.
The VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(x) macro references a static function called
vir(Ip|Eb)OnceInit(), which will then be called the first time that
the static function vir(Ip|Eb)TablesInitialize() is called (that
function is defined for you by the macro). This is
thread-safe, so there is no chance of any race.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I've left the VIR_DEBUG messages in these two init
functions (one for iptables, on for ebtables) as VIR_WARN so that I
don't have to turn on all the other debug message just to see
these. Even if this patch doesn't need any other modification, those
messages need to be changed to VIR_DEBUG before pushing.
This one-time initialization works well. However, I've encountered
problems with testing:
1) Whenever I have enabled the firewalld service, *all* attempts to
call firewall-cmd from within libvirtd end with firewall-cmd hanging
internally somewhere. This is *not* the case if firewall-cmd returns
non-0 in response to "firewall-cmd --state" (i.e. *that* command runs
and returns to libvirt successfully.)
2) If I start libvirtd while firewalld is stopped, then start
firewalld later, this triggers libvirtd to reload its iptables rules,
however it also spits out a *ton* of complaints about deletion failing
(I suppose because firewalld has nuked all of libvirt's rules). I
guess we need to suppress those messages (which is a more annoying
problem to fix than you might think, but that's another story).
3) I noticed a few times during this long line of errors that
firewalld made a complaint about "Resource Temporarily
unavailable. Having libvirtd access iptables commands directly at the
same time as firewalld is doing so is apparently problematic.
4) In general, I'm concerned about the "set it once and never change
it" method - if firewalld is disabled at libvirtd startup, causing
libvirtd to always use iptables/ebtables directly, this won't cause
*terrible* problems, but if libvirtd decides to use firewall-cmd and
firewalld is later disabled, libvirtd will not be able to recover.
This patch adds helper functions that enable us to use libssh2 in
conjunction with libvirt's virNetSockets for ssh transport instead of
spawning "ssh" client process.
This implemetation supports tunneled plaintext, keyboard-interactive,
private key, ssh agent based and null authentication. Libvirt's Auth
callback is used for interaction with the user. (Keyboard interactive
authentication, adding of host keys, private key passphrases). This
enables seamless integration into the application using libvirt. No
helpers as "ssh-askpass" are needed.
Reading and writing of OpenSSH style "known_hosts" files is supported.
Communication is done using SSH exec channel, where the user may specify
arbitrary command to be executed on the remote side and reads and writes
to/from stdin/out are sent through the ssh channel. Usage of stderr is
not (yet) supported.
Commit 350583c8 broke development on a RHEL 5 box, where the
ancient Autoconf 2.59 lacks AS_VERSION_STRING. Rather than
backport the complex awk script that newer autoconf uses for
true strverscmp comparisons from the shell, it was easier to
just open-code a shell case statement.
* configure.ac (qemu_version): Open-code a replacement for
AS_VERSION_CHECK.
The way LIBVIRT_VERSION_INFO is calculated has a timebomb that
will cause us to accidentally break soname when we change the
major version number to a non-zero value !
Given CURRENT:REVISION:AGE, libtool will generate
libvirt.so.($CURRENT-$AGE).$AGE.$REVISION
We set CURRENT to be MAJOR+MINOR and AGE to $MINOR, so as
soon as MAJOR changes to non-zero, we get libvirt.so.1
as the soname, eg 1.3.9 would create libvirt.so.1.3.9
Looks natural but is not ABI compatible with libvirt.so.0.x.y
The fix is to set CURRENT to always be exactly the same
as AGE. We want to have the major version reflected in
the so symlinks though. So then we set AGE to MAJOR*1000+MINOR
eg, so 1.3.9 would create libvirt.so.0.1003.9 and libvirt
2.51.3 would create libvirt.so.0.2051.3
libvirt creates invalid commands if wrong locale is selected. For
example with locale that uses comma as a decimal point, JSON commands
created with decimal numbers are invalid because comma separates the
entries in JSON. Fortunately even when decimal point is affected,
thousands grouping is not, because for grouping to be enabled with
*printf, there has to be an apostrophe flag specified (and supported).
This patch adds specific internal function for converting doubles to
strings with C locale.
The recent changes to the testsuite to validate exported symbols
flushed out a case of unconditionally exporting symbols that
were only conditionally compiled under HAVE_AVAHI.
* src/Makefile.am (libvirt_net_rpc_server_la_SOURCES): Compile
virnetservermdns unconditionally.
* configure.ac (HAVE_AVAHI): Drop unused automake conditional.
* src/rpc/virnetservermdns.c: Add fallbacks when Avahi is not
present.
On Debian/Ubuntu, one of the libraries libvirt (indirectly) links
with exports a symbol named 'base64_encode'. This takes precedence
over GNULIB's base64_encode function during linking. Unfortunately
they of course have different API semantics. To avoid this problem
use a few #defines in config.h to rename the GNULIB provided
function to have a 'libvirt_gl_' prefix
There are a few issues with the current virAtomic APIs
- They require use of a virAtomicInt struct instead of a plain
int type
- Several of the methods do not implement memory barriers
- The methods do not implement compiler re-ordering barriers
- There is no Win32 native impl
The GLib library has a nice LGPLv2+ licensed impl of atomic
ops that works with GCC, Win32, or pthreads.h that addresses
all these problems. The main downside to their code is that
the pthreads impl uses a single global mutex, instead of
a per-variable mutex. Given that it does have a Win32 impl
though, we don't expect anyone to seriously use the pthread.h
impl, so this downside is not significant.
* .gitignore: Ignore test case
* configure.ac: Check for which atomic ops impl to use
* src/Makefile.am: Add viratomic.c
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_dhcpsnoop.c: Switch to new atomic
ops APIs and plain int datatype
* src/util/viratomic.h: inline impls of all atomic ops
for GCC, Win32 and pthreads
* src/util/viratomic.c: Global pthreads mutex for atomic
ops
* tests/viratomictest.c: Test validate to validate safety
of atomic ops.

This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.
A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.
A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.
In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.
<disk type='network'>
...
<source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
<host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
</source>

Commit 1c275e9a accidentally dropped the storage driver from
libvirtd, because it depended on a C preprocessor macro that
was not defined. Furthermore, if you do './configure
--without-storage-dir --with-storage-disk' or any other combination
where you explicitly build a subset of storage backends excluding
the dir backend, then the build is broken.

Since the test files are not part of the tarball, we can generate

This patch adds support for a new storage backend with RBD support.
RBD is the RADOS Block Device and is part of the Ceph distributed storage
system.
It comes in two flavours: Qemu-RBD and Kernel RBD, this storage backend only
supports Qemu-RBD, thus limiting the use of this storage driver to Qemu only.
To function this backend relies on librbd and librados being present on the
local system.
The backend also supports Cephx authentication for safe authentication with
the Ceph cluster.
For storing credentials it uses the built-in secret mechanism of libvirt.

Most versions of libselinux do not contain the function
selinux_lxc_contexts_path() that the security driver
recently started using for LXC. We must add a conditional

Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.
This results in output like:

Since now we pre-set memory policy using libnuma to fully
drive numad, it needs to check numactl-devel if "with_numad"
is "yes".
configure with groups "--with-numad=yes --with-numactl=yes",
"--with-numad=no --with-numactl=yes", "--with-numad=yes
--with-numactl=yes" works fine after the change.
configure.ac: check for libnl-3 in addition to libnl-1
src/Makefile.am: link against libnl when needed
src/util/virnetlink.c:
support libnl3 api. To minimize impact on code flow, wrap the
differences under the virNetlink* namespace.
Unfortunately libnl3 moves netlink/msg.h to
/usr/include/libnl3/netlink/msg.h, so the LIBNL_CFLAGS need to be added
to a bunch of places where they weren't needed with libnl1.

Commit 8fe455fd36 tried to work around
a regression introduced in upstream gnulib that requires gettext 0.18
or newer on all projects using bootstrap, by making libvirt require
gettext 0.18. But this fails on RHEL 6.2, which still ships gettext
0.17. Revert that change, and instead, import the latest round of
gnulib updates that fix that problem properly.
If you have already built in the window where libvirt required 0.18,
be aware that incremental updates may run into problems: this is
because 'autopoint --force' will not downgrade m4/po.m4 back to an
older version, but it must be downgraded back to 0.17 levels to work
with this patch. You may either manually remove that file then rerun
bootstrap, or it may prove easier to just clean up all non-git files
to start from a clean slate.
* bootstrap.conf: Revert minimum gettext back to 0.17.
* configure.ac: Likewise.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
Commit c9cd419cab added copying of the
makefile for translation files from gnulib. The makefile from gnulib is
of version 0.18 but the build configuration cretes macros from version
0.17 which breaks the build with message:
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from
gettext version 0.18 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version
0.17
DBus connection. The HAL device code further requires that
the DBus connection is integrated with the event loop and
provides such glue logic itself.
The forthcoming FirewallD integration also requires a
dbus connection with event loop integration. Thus we need
to pull the current event loop glue out of the HAL driver.
Thus we create src/util/virdbus.{c,h} files. This contains
just one method virDBusGetSystemBus() which obtains a handle
to the single shared system bus instance, with event glue
automagically setup.

Given that we auto-detect whether each -Wxxxx flag is supported by
GCC, and we are warning-free and use automake silent rules, there
is no compelling reason to allow compile warnings to be disabled.
Replace the --enable-compile-warnings flag with a simpler
--enable-werror flag, which defaults to 'yes' if building
from GIT, or 'no' if building from tar.gz
This helps ensure that everyone writing patches for libvirt will
take care to fix their warning problems before submitting for
review
* autobuild.sh: Force -Werror
* configure.ac: Update for LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS macro change
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Permanently enable all warnings,
auto-enable Werror for GIT builds
Add a new flag '--with-test-suite' to configure to control whether
the test suite binaries are built by default. ie built with a
plain 'make', as opposed to delayed until 'make check'
For builds from tar.gz tests will not be built by default. For
builds from GIT, tests with be on by default, to try and ensure
that patch developers don't accidentally break the test suites
without noticing.
* configure.ac: Add --with-test-suite
* tests/Makefile.am: Use noinst_PROGRAMS instead of check_PROGRAMS

{noinst,check}_PROGRAMS to avoid duplication

numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
This patch adds a set of functions used in creating console streams for
domains using PTYs and ensures mutually exclusive access to the PTYs.
If mutually exclusive access is not used, two clients may open the same
console, which results in corruption on both clients as both of them
race to read data from the PTY.
Two approaches are used to ensure this:
1) Internal data structure holding open PTYs.
This is used internally and enables the user to forcibly
terminate another console connection eg. when somebody leaves
the console open on another host.
2) UUCP style lock files:
This uses UUCP lock files according to the FHS
( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLOCKLOCKFILES )
to check if other programs (like minicom) are not using the pty
device of the console.
This feature is disabled by default and may be enabled using
configure parameter
--with-console-lock-files=/path/to/lock/file/directory
or --with-console-lock-files=auto (which tries to infer the
location from OS used (currently only linux).
On usual linux systems, normal users may not write to the
/var/lock directory containing the locks. This poses problems
while in session mode. If the current user has no access to the
lockfile directory, check for presence of the file is still
done, but no lock file is created. This does NOT result in an
error.
The /usr/include/python/pyconfig.h file pollutes the global
namespace with a huge number of HAVE_XXX and WITH_XXX
defines. These change what we detected in our own config.h
In particular if you try to build without DTrace, python's
headers turn it back on with predictable fail.
THe hack to workaround this is to rename WITH_DTRACE to
WITH_DTRACE_PROBES to avoid the namespace clash
AC_CHECK_PROG checks for program in given path. However, if it doesn't
exists, [variable] is set to [value-if-not-found]. We don't want this
to be the empty string in case of 'modprobe' and 'scrub' as we want to
fallback to runtime detection.
Currently, if scrub (used for wiping algorithms) is not present
at compile time, we don't support any other wiping algorithms than
zeroing, even if it was installed later. Switch to runtime detection
instead.
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr
Currently, we support only filling a volume with zeroes on wiping.
However, it is not enough as data might still be readable by
experienced and equipped attacker. Many technical papers have been
written, therefore we should support other wiping algorithms.
Since we already require the kernel to be new enough to support
LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR, we might as well also require glibc to be
new enough to support epoll_create1().
* configure.ac (with_lxc): We require glibc 2.9 for LXC.
Reported and tested by Philipp Hahn.
Although the netcf interface driver can in theory be used by
the stateless drivers, in practice none of them want to use
it because they have different ways of dealing with interfaces.
Furthermore, if you have mingw32-netcf installed, then the
libvirt mingw32 build will fail with
../../src/interface/netcf_driver.c:644:5: error: unknown field 'close_used_without_including_unistd_h' specified in initializer
* configure.ac: disable netcf if built without libvirtd
Using automake.git (will become 1.12 someday), I got this error:
configure.ac:90: error: automatic de-ANSI-fication support has been removed

configure.ac:90: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
In short, pre-C89 compilers are no longer a viable portability
target. Besides, our code base already requires C99, so worrying
about pre-C89 seems pointless.
* configure.ac (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Drop, since newer automake no
longer provides it.
Using dtrace (and systemtap in general) is Linux-specific.
Running ./autobuild.sh shows that attempting a cross-build to
target mingw was mistakenly trying to build dtrace code, merely
because it was present on the compilation host.
* configure.ac (with_dtrace): Don't attempt to use dtrace when
doing a cross-build hosted on Linux but targetting elsewhere.
Reported by Daniel P. Berrange.
This ought to fix the build if you have net/if.h but do
not have struct ifreq

The logging APIs need to be able to generate formatted timestamps
using only async signal safe functions. This rules out using
gmtime/localtime/malloc/gettimeday(!) and much more.
Introduce a new internal API which is async signal safe.
virTimeMillisNowRaw replacement for gettimeofday. Uses clock_gettime
where available, otherwise falls back to the unsafe
gettimeofday
virTimeFieldsNowRaw replacements for gmtime(), convert a timestamp
virTimeFieldsThenRaw into a broken out set of fields. No localtime()
replacement is provided, because converting to
local time is not practical with only async signal
safe APIs.
virTimeStringNowRaw replacements for strftime() which print a timestamp
virTimeStringThenRaw into a string, using a pre-determined format, with
a fixed size buffer (VIR_TIME_STRING_BUFLEN)
For each of these there is also a version without the Raw postfix
which raises a full libvirt error. These versions are not async
signal safe

virStorageBackendLogicalDeleteVol() could not remove the lv with error
"could not remove open logical volume" sometimes. Generally it's caused
by the volume is still active, even if lvremove tries to remove it with
option "--force".
This patch is to fix it by disbale the lv first using "lvchange -aln"
and "lvremove -f" afterwards if the direct "lvremove -f" failed.
