timers are sub-elements of clocks. A clock can have zero or more
instances of timer. Within the timer, only the name attribute is
required; all other attributes are optional.

A simpler representation of a timer element is:

  <timer name='platform|pit|rtc|hpet|tsc'
         wallclock='host|guest'
         tickpolicy='delay|catchup|merge|discard'
         frequency='123'
         mode='auto|native|emulate|paravirt'
         present='yes|no'/>

frequency is a ulong. All other attributes are simple enums.

This extension is described in

http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-March/msg00304.html

Currently all attributes are optional, except name.

* src/conf/domain_conf.h: add data definition for virDomainTimerDef
  and add a list of them to virDomainClockDef
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: XML parser and formatter for a timer inside a clock
* src/libvirt_private.syms: add new Timer enum helper functions to symbols

The QEMU cpu affinity is used in NUMA scenarios to ensure that
guest memory is allocated from a specific node. Normally memory
is allocate on demand in vCPU threads, but when using hugepages
the initial thread leader allocates memory upfront. libvirt was
not setting affinity of the thread leader, or I/O threads. This
patch changes the code to set the process affinity in between
the fork()/exec() of QEMU. This ensures that every single QEMU
thread gets the affinity

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Set affinity on entire QEMU process
  at startup

Common Unix practice is to prefer VISUAL over EDITOR, particularly if
the editor of choice spawns a new window.  Thus, it is also common to
see settings like EDITOR='emacs -nw', with the expectation that the
shell will parse this as an argument to 'emacs' and not try to invoke
a file containing a space.

If a user puts junk in EDITOR, they deserve what they get (much more
than virsh will misbehave); furthermore, sudo scrubs EDITOR by
default.  So the blind use of metacharacters in EDITOR should not be
considered too much of a security issue.

* tools/virsh.c (editFile): Prefer VISUAL over EDITOR.  Don't
reject shell metacharacters in EDITOR.
* tools/virsh.pod (edit, net-edit, ENVIRONMENT): Document VISUAL.
Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487738.

This patch adds a dummy nwfilter driver to the test driver so that the
int-overflow test passes without modifications.

This patch fixes the 'make check' runs for me which, under certain
circumstances and login configurations, did invoke popups requesting
authentication. I removed the parameter conn from being passed into the
error reporting function.

* src/conf/nwfilter_conf.h src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c: remove conn from
  error reporting parameters.

Right now this implements only 2 basic hooks:
- before the lxc control process is being launched
- after the lxc control process is terminated
the XML description of the domain is passed to the hook script stdin
/etc/libvirt/hook/lxc

* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: implement synchronous script hooks for LXC
  at domain startup and end

Right now this implements only 2 basic hooks:
- before the qemu process is being launched
- after the qemu process is terminated
the XML description of the domain is passed to the hook script stdin
/etc/libvirt/hook/qemu

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: implement synchronous script hooks for QEmu
  at domain startup and end

It supports 3 kind of probing times, at daemon startup, when the
daemon reloads its drivers on SIGHUP and when the daemon exits

* daemon/libvirtd.c: daemon hooks for startup, reload and exit

This exports 3 basic routines:
  - virHookInitialize() initializing the hook support by looking for
    scripts availability
  - virHookPresent() used to test if there is a hook for a given driver
  - virHookCall() which actually calls a synchronous script hook with
    the needed parameters
Note that this doesn't expose any public API except for the locations
and arguments passed to the scripts

* src/Makefile.am: add the 2 new files
* src/util/hooks.h src/util/hooks.c: implements the 3 functions
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the 3 symbols internally
* po/POTFILES.in: add src/util/hooks.c to translatables modules

* include/libvirt/virterror.h: add VIR_FROM_HOOK and VIR_ERR_HOOK_SCRIPT_FAILED
* src/util/virterror.c: associated strings

used to read the data from virExec stdout/err file descriptors

* src/util/util.c src/util/util.h: not static anymore and export it
* src/libvirt_private.syms: allow access internally

This flag is used in migration prepare step to send updated XML
definition of a guest.

Also ``virsh dumpxml --update-cpu [--inactive] guest'' command can be
used to see the updated CPU requirements.

Useful mainly for migration. cpuUpdate changes guest CPU requirements in
the following way:

- match == "strict" || match == "exact"
    - optional features which are supported by host CPU are changed into
      required features
    - optional features which are not supported by host CPU are disabled
    - all other features remain untouched
- match == "minimum"
    - match is changed into "exact"
    - optional features and all features not mentioned in guest CPU
      specification which are supported by host CPU become required
      features
    - other optional features are disabled
    - all other features remain untouched

This ensures that no feature will suddenly disappear from the guest
after migration.

When a domain is defined on host1, migrated to host2 and then migrated
back to host1, its current configuration would overwrite the libvirtd's
in-memory copy of persistent configuration of that domain. This is not
desired as we want to preserve the persistent configuration untouched.

This patch introduces new 'live' parameter to virDomainAssignDef.
Passing 'true' for 'live' means the configuration passed to
virDomainAssignDef describes a configuration of live instance of the
domain. This applies for saved domains which are being restored or for
incoming domains during migration.

All callers have been changed to pass the appropriate value.

* src/conf/nwfilter_conf.h: Indent cpp directives.

My prior patch forced an autogen.sh run, and I was surprised that the
suggested './autogen.sh' lost the fact that I had previously used
'./autogen.sh -C' for speed.

This patch adds some example filters to libvirt. They are automatically
installed into the proper directory for libvirt to pick them up.

This patch adds support for L3/L4 filtering using iptables. This adds
support for 'tcp', 'udp', 'icmp', 'igmp', 'sctp' etc. filtering.

As mentioned in the introduction, a .c file provided by this patch
is #include'd into a .c file. This will need work, but should be alright
for review.

Add support for Qemu to have firewall rules applied and removed on VM
startup and shutdown respectively. This  patch also provides support for

This patch implements the core driver and provides
- management functionality for managing the filter XMLs
- compiling the internal filter representation into ebtables rules
- applying ebtables rules on a network (tap,macvtap) interface
- tearing down ebtables rules that were applied on behalf of an
interface
- updating of filters while VMs are running and causing the firewalls to
be rebuilt
- other bits and pieces

* Add types to switch; the switch is only exectuted for known types because of a preceding conditional, so this fix is merely to placate the compiler.

To find out where the net type 'direct' needs to be handled I introduced
the 'enum virDomainNetType' in the virDomainNetDef structure and let the
compiler tell me where the case statement is missing. Then I added the
unhandled device statement to the UML driver.

* src/conf/domain_conf.h: change _virDomainNetDef type from int to
  virDomainNetType enum
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/lxc/lxc_driver.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.c
  src/uml/uml_conf.c: make sure all enum cases are properly handled
  in switches

In the documentation mention that the direct device support is there
since libvirt 0.7.7. A Linux kernel 2.6.34 is required for macvtap to be
available as standard device.

Use the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags API to allow the VNC password
to be changed on the fly

* src/internal.h: Define STREQ_NULLABLE() which is like STREQ()
  but does not crash if either argument is NULL, and treats two
  NULLs as equal.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainGraphicsTypeToString
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Support VNC password change on a live
  machine
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Disable crazy debugging info. Treat a
  NULL password as "" (empty string), allowing passwords to be
  disabled in the monitor
