Unless there's some reason we shouldn't

Added by DV with:

  * Fri Apr 24 2009 Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com> - 0.6.3-1.fc12
  - release of 0.6.3
  - VirtualBox driver

* libvirt.spec: pass --without-capng if appropriate

Fedora CVS changelog is "Fix libcap-ng-devel require, Daniel"

* src/esx/esx_vi.c: drop host check if no_verify=1, but as Matthias
  pointed out if no_verify=2 we should check the host is the right
  one

* libvirt.spec.in: require glusterfs-client >= 2.0.1

* src/xen_internal.c: Don't free memory now owned by the virCapsPtr
   structure
* tests/testutilsxen.c: Fix up for change in internal API

* src/qemu_driver.c: implement missing features in qemudDomainGetVcpus
  for 'cpu' and 'cpuTime' fields

In order to hotplug a network/bridge backed NIC, we need to first create
the tap file descriptor, add the tap interface to the bridge and then
pass the file descriptor to the qemu process using the 'getfd' monitor
command.

Once the tapfd has been accepted, we create the network backend using
host_net_add, supplying the name assigned to the tapfd. If this fails,
we need to close the tapfd in qemu using the 'closefd' monitor command.

If the version of qemu does not support the getfd/closefd monitor
commands we detect "unknown command" in the getfd reply and fail the
attach operation.

* src/qemu_driver.c: add support for tapfd based hotplug in
  qemudDomainAttachNetDevice()

Add qemudMonitorCommandWithFd() which allows a file descriptor to be
sent to qemu over a unix monitor socket using SCM_RIGHTS. See the
unix(7) and cmsg(3) man pages.

* src/qemu_conf.c: add a scm_fd param to qemudMonitorCommandExtra(),
  add qemudMonitorCommandWithFd(), implement SCM_RIGHTS support in
  qemudMonitorSendUnix()

Switch from using write() to using sendmsg() on QEMU's monitor socket
so that we can add support for SCM_RIGHTS.

* src/qemu_driver.c: add sendmsg() based qemudMonitorSendUnix() and use
  it when the monitor fd is a unix socket

Add a little helper function to write the monitor command followed by
carriage return in a single write.

This doesn't make any real difference, but allows us to more easily
switch to using sendmsg() when using the monitor over a unix socket.

* src/qemu_conf.c: split qemudMonitorSend() out

In subsequent patches we're going to have a file descriptor to close
too, so centralize the error handling cleanups to make things easier.

* src/qemu_conf.c: in qemudDomainAttachNetDevice() consolidate the
  error handling cleanups together

With hotplug, we're going to want to pass a tapfd name rather than an
actual file descriptor, so prepare the way by passing a string tapfd to
qemuBuildHostNetStr().

* src/qemu_conf.h: qemuBuildHostNetStr() takes a string tapfd now

* src/qemu_conf.c: pass qemuBuildHostNetStr() a string rather than an
  actual file descriptor

* src/qemu_driver.c: update qemudDomainAttachNetDevice() for change

* src/qemu_conf.h: export qemudNetworkIfaceConnect()

* src/qemu_conf.c: move vnet_hdr logic into qemudNetworkIfaceConnect()
  since we need it for hotplug too

By probing for qemu machine types, we increased the time of a
GetCapabilities call from 100us to a whopping 60ms.

This patch takes the approach of only probing for machine types
when the mtime of the emulator binary changed since the last time
the capabilities were generated.

* src/capabilities.h: cache the emulator binary mtime

* src/qemu_conf.c: add qemudGetOldMachines() to copy the machine
  types from the old caps struct if the mtime for the binary hasn't
  changed

* src/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu_driver.c: pass the old caps pointer to
  qemudCapsInit()

e.g. <machine canonical='pc'>pc-0.11</machine>

* src/capabilities.c: output the canonical machine names in the
  capabilities output, if available

* docs/schemas/capabilities.rng: add the new attribute

Not all possible emulators are actually in the capabilities, so if we
don't find the supplied emulator we should probe it directly for machine
types.

* src/qemu_driver.c: add qemudCanonicalizeMachineDirect() to directly
  probe an emulator for the canonical machine type

In qemu-0.11 there is a 'pc-0.10' machine type which allows you to run
guests with a machine which is compatible with the pc machine in
qemu-0.10 - e.g. using the original PCI class for virtio-blk and
virtio-console and disabling MSI support in virtio-net. The idea here
is that we don't want to suprise guests by changing the hardware when
qemu is updated.

I've just posted some patches for qemu-0.11 which allows libvirt to
canonicalize the 'pc' machine alias to the latest machine version.

This patches makes us use that so that when a guest is configured to
use the 'pc' machine type, we resolve that to 'pc-0.11' machine and
save that in the guest XML.

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_Stable_Guest_ABI

* src/qemu_conf.c: add qemudCanonicalizeMachine() to canonicalize
  the machine type according to the machine aliases in capabilities

* src/qemu_driver.c: parse aliases in qemudParseMachineTypesStr()

A subsequent commit will add a "canonical" field to this structure,
this patch basically just prepares the way for that.

The new type is added, along with virCapabilitiesAlloc/FreeMachines()
helpers and a whole bunch of code to make the transition.

One quirk is that virCapabilitiesAddGuestDomain() and
virCapabilitiesAddGuest() take ownership of the machine list rather
than duping it. This makes sense to avoid needless copying.

* src/capabilities.h: add the virCapsGuestMachine struct and use it
  in virCapsGuestDomainInfo, add prototypes for new functions and
  update the AddGuest() prototypes

* src/capabilities.c: add code for allocating and freeing the new
  type, change the machines parameter to AddGuest() etc.

* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the new helpers

* src/qemu_conf.c: update all the machine type code to use the new
  struct

* src/xen_internal.c: ditto

* tests/testutilsqemu.c: ditto

Currently we hardcode the QEMU machine types. We should really just
parse the output of 'qemu -M ?' so the lists don't get out of sync.

xenner doesn't support '-M ?', so we still need to hardcode that.

The horrible (const char *const *) is removed in a subsequent patch.

* src/qemu_conf.c: kill the arch_info*machines tables, retain the
  hardcoded xenner machine type, add qemudProbeMachineTypes() to
  run and parse 'qemu -M ?' and use it in qemudCapsInitGuest()

There's no need for the hasbase/hasaltbase confusion, just store the
first binary path found in a variable.

* src/qemu_conf.c: kill hasbase/hasaltbase logic in qemudCapsInitGuest()

* src/esx/esx_driver.c src/esx/esx_vi.c src/esx/esx_vi.h
  src/esx/esx_vmx.c src/esx/esx_vmx.h: extend the VI API version checks
  to accept version 4.0 and takes care of the virtualHW.version change
  from 4 to 7.

* src/conf.c: the virConfParser must accept leading dot when in VMX mode

* src/esx/esx_driver.c src/esx/esx_util.c src/esx/esx_util.h
  src/esx/esx_vi.c src/esx/esx_vi.h: adds a no_verify query parameter to
  stop libcurl from verifying theserver certificate for the https
  transport.

* src/esx/esx_driver.c: remove leaks in esxDomainDumpXML() and simplify
  esxDomainXMLFromNative()

We fake stats values based on the current time, similar to how it's done
for cpu time.

We need interface names to implement InterfaceStats.

Do the check in libvirt.c, to save drivers from the burden. This changes
behavior slightly in the qemu driver: we no longer explictly error if
passed an empty string. An error will still be thrown when the device
lookup fails.

The generator couldn't tell that the stats return values were pointers.
Stick a white list in the function which tries to make this distinction.
