    Remove global log buffer feature entirely

    A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
    records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
    filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
    improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
    buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
    all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
    explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
    global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
    upon crash.

    The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
    lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
    completely ignored hereafter.

When a client connects, it is placed into a queue. As soon as it
authenticate, it is taken out of that queue and placed into a
different one. Now, we have a setting in the daemon config file
that allows users to control the length of the queue of yet not
authenticated clients. By default, it has a value 20 but in the
description to the config knob we clam it's zero.

This reverts commit 1e9808d3.

We shouldn't advertise libvirtd.socket activation, since currently
it means VM/network/... autostart won't work as expected.

We tried to find a middle ground by installing the config file without
an [Install] section, since systemd won't allow .socket to be enabled
without one... or at least it did do that; presently on f24 it allows
activating the socket quite happily. This also caused user confusion[1]

Just remove the socket file. I've filed a new RFE to track coming up
with a solution to the autostart problem[2], we can point users at that
if there's more confusion:

The documentation (and comment in libvirtd.conf) says that the text in
a log filter is compared to the "source file name", and gives the
example of "util/json", but this is not correct (at least not since
commit 2835c1e7, possibly earlier). It is instead compared to the
string given in the VIR_LOG_INIT() macro invocation at the top of each
source file, which is always "similar to but not the same as" the
source file name (in the example above, the proper name is
"util.json", while the file name is "util/virjson.c"). This patch
corrects the misstatement in both the documentation and in
libvirtd.conf.

Since its introduction in 2011 (particularly in commit f4324e32),
the option doesn't work.  It just effectively disables all incoming
connections.  That's because the client private data that contain the
'keepalive_supported' boolean, are initialized to zeroes so the bool is
false and the only other place where the bool is used is when checking
whether the client supports keepalive.  Thus, according to the server,
no client supports keepalive.

Removing this instead of fixing it is better because a) apparently
nobody ever tried it since 2011 (4 years without one month) and b) we
cannot know whether the client supports keepalive until we get a ping or
pong keepalive packet.  And that won't happen until after we dispatched
the ConnectOpen call.

Another two reasons would be c) the keepalive_required was tracked on
the server level, but keepalive_supported was in private data of the
client as well as the check that was made in the remote layer, thus
making all other instances of virNetServer miss this feature unless they
all implemented it for themselves and d) we can always add it back in
case there is a request and a use-case for it.

Libvirt is really chatty when the DEBUG log level is enabled. When a
host uses journald we'd enable debug logging to journald when only
specifying the debug log level. As journald may employ rate throttling
this would lock up the daemon until it's able to flush all debug
messages.

This patch changes the default log level to VIR_LOG_INFO when using the
default (unconfigured) log output to journald.

To still allow debug logging to journald the user now has to explicitly
specify journald as a log output with priority 1 in the "log_outputs"
configuration option. This patch also changes the config file template
to be explicit about this change and notify the user about the possible
consequence of debug logging into journald.

Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1121955

Our docs didn't mention the explicit option to log into journald.

With parallel boot, network addresses might not yet be assigned [1],
but binding to wildcard addresses should work.

For non-wildcard addresses, ADDRCONFIG is still used. Document this

This configuration knob lets user to set the length of queue of
connection requests waiting to be accept()-ed by the daemon. IOW, it
just controls the @backlog passed to listen:

  int listen(int sockfd, int backlog);

Add an access control driver that uses the pkcheck command
to check authorization requests. This is fairly inefficient,
particularly for cases where an API returns a list of objects
and needs to check permission for each object.

It would be desirable to use the polkit API but this links
to glib with abort-on-OOM behaviour, so can't be used. The
other alternative is to speak to dbus directly

 * Don't advertise information on the network without consent of

   interface that drives this option.
 * Since libvirtd must be configured for network access anyway
   (for all but ssh), this setting was not useful "out of the box",
   so changing this default setting does not remove "out of the box"
   functionality.

This patch annotates APIs with low or high priority.
In low set MUST be all APIs which might eventually access monitor
(and thus block indefinitely). Other APIs may be marked as high
priority. However, some must be (e.g. domainDestroy).

For high priority calls (HPC), there are some high priority workers
(HPW) created in the pool. HPW can execute only HPC, although normal
worker can process any call regardless priority. Therefore, only those
APIs which are guaranteed to end in reasonable small amount of time
can be marked as HPC.

The size of this HPC pool is static, because HPC are expected to end
quickly, therefore jobs assigned to this pool will be served quickly.
It can be configured in libvirtd.conf via prio_workers variable.
Default is set to 5.

To mark API with low or high priority, append priority:{low|high} to
it's comment in src/remote/remote_protocol.x. This is similar to
autogen|skipgen. If not marked, the generator assumes low as default.

When libvirtd starts it it will sanity check its own certs,
and before libvirt clients connect to a remote server they
will sanity check their own certs. This patch allows such
sanity checking to be skipped. There is no strong reason to
need to do this, other than to bypass possible libvirt bugs
in sanity checking, or for testing purposes.

libvirt.conf gains tls_no_sanity_certificate parameter to
go along with tls_no_verify_certificate. The remote driver
client URIs gain a no_sanity URI parameter

* daemon/test_libvirtd.aug, daemon/libvirtd.conf,

This is the part allowing to dynamically resize the debug log
buffer from it's default 64kB size. The buffer is now dynamically
allocated.
It adds a new API virLogSetBufferSize() which resizes the buffer
If passed a zero size, the buffer is deallocated and we do the small
optimization of not formatting messages which are not output anymore.
On the daemon side, it just adds a new option log_buffer_size to
libvirtd.conf and call virLogSetBufferSize() if needed
* src/util/logging.h src/util/logging.c src/libvirt_private.syms:
  make buffer dynamic and add virLogSetBufferSize() internal API
* daemon/libvirtd.conf: document the new log_buffer_size option
* daemon/libvirtd.c: read and use the new log_buffer_size option

Integrate with libaudit.so for auditing of important operations.
libvirtd gains a couple of config entries for auditing. By
default it will enable auditing, if its enabled on the host.
It can be configured to force exit if auditing is disabled
on the host. It will can also send audit messages via libvirt
internal logging API

Places requiring audit reporting can use the VIR_AUDIT
macro to report data. This is a no-op unless auditing is
enabled

  on mingw

Before this change, the unix socket directory was hard-coded
to be e.g., /var/run/libvirt for euid==0 and ~/.libvirt otherwise.
With this change, you may now specify that directory in libvirtd's
config file via a line like this: unix_sock_dir = "/var/run/libvirt".
This is essential for running tests that do not impinge on any
existing libvirtd process, and in running tests in parallel.
* qemud/libvirtd.conf (unix_sock_dir): Add comment and example.
* qemud/qemud.h (struct qemud_server) [logDir]: Change type
from char[PATH_MAX] to char*.
* qemud/qemud.c (unix_sock_dir): New global
(remoteReadConfigFile): Set the global.
(qemudInitPaths): Use the global, unix_sock_dir, if non-NULL.
One minor improvement: unlink both sockets or none, never
just one of them.
(qemudCleanup): Free logDir.
(main): Use the new global rather than hard-coding "/run/libvirt".
* qemud/libvirtd.aug (sock_acl_entry): Add "unix_sock_dir".
