Commit 7bff56a0 worked in an incremental build, but fails for a
fresh clone; apparently, if make sees both an actual file
spelling and an inference rule, only the exact spelling is used.

  CCLD   libvirt_driver_test.la
  CC     libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo
remote/remote_driver.c:4707:34: fatal error: remote_client_bodies.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

BUILT_SOURCES to the rescue, instead of trying to mess with .lo
dependencies directly.

* src/Makefile.am (REMOTE_DRIVER_PREREQS, %remote_driver.lo): Drop...
(BUILT_SOURCES): ...and add here instead.

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.

Based on analysis by Osier Yang.

* configure.ac (WITH_STORAGE): Define top-level conditional.
* src/Makefile.am (mod_LTLIBRARIES): Build driver even when
storage_dir is disabled.
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Pick up storage driver for any backend, not
just dir.
* daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd_LDADD): Likewise.

Since we are allocating RPC buffer dynamically, we can increase limits
for max. size of RPC message and RPC string. This is needed to cover
some corner cases where libvirt is run on such huge machines that their
capabilities XML is 4 times bigger than our current limit. This leaves
users with inability to even connect.

Currently, we are allocating buffer for RPC messages statically.
This is not such pain when RPC limits are small. However, if we want
ever to increase those limits, we need to allocate buffer dynamically,
based on RPC message len (= the first 4 bytes). Therefore we will
decrease our mem usage in most cases and still be flexible enough in
corner cases.

We had a distributed file (remote_protocol.h, which in turn was
a prereq to remote_driver.c) depending on a generated file
(libvirt_probes.h), which is a no-no for a VPATH build from a
read-only source tree (no wonder 'make distcheck' tests precisely
that situation):

     File `libvirt_driver_remote.la' does not exist.
       File `libvirt_driver_remote_la-remote_driver.lo' does not exist.
             Prerequisite `libvirt_probes.h' is newer than target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.
            Must remake target `../../src/remote/remote_protocol.h'.

Rather than making distributed .c files depend on generated files, we
really want to ensure that compilation into .lo files is not attempted
until the generated files are present, done by this patch.  Since there
were two different sets of conditionally generated files that both
feed the .lo file, I had to introduce a new variable REMOTE_DRIVER_PREREQS
to keep automake happy.

After that fix, the next issue was that make treats './foo' and 'foo'
differently in determining whether an implicit %foo rule is applicable,
with the result that locking/qemu-sanlock.conf wasn't properly being
built at the right times.  Also, the output for using the .aug test
files was a bit verbose.

After fixing the src directory, the next error is related to the docs
directory, where the tarball is missing a stamp file and thus tries to
regenerate files that are already present:

  GEN    ../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../docs/apibuild.py", line 2511, in <module>

    output = open(filename, "w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '../../docs/libvirt-api.xml'
make[5]: *** [../../docs/apibuild.py.stamp] Error 1

and fixing that exposed another case of a distributed file (generated
html) depending on a built file (libvirt.h), but only when doing an
in-tree build, because of a file glob.

* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote/remote_driver.c): Change...

QEMU 1.1.0 has been officially released. With 1.1.0 QEMU went back to
three-digits version even for the initial release and I renamed the data
files to match this fact. They were generated with

qemu-system-x86_64 -help >tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-1.1.0
qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -device ? \
    -device pci-assign,? \
    -device virtio-blk-pci,? \
    -device virtio-net-pci,? \
    -device scsi-disk,? 2>tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-1.1.0-device

Affected commands are: pool-start, vol-create-from.

I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.

It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0

The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".

If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.

I have already filled a bug report (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823879 ), the topic was
already on the list some months ago:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2011-September/msg00095.htmlSigned-off-by: NEric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

Noticed during the previous commit.

* src/util/command.c: Fix some spacing and break long lines.

It is possible to deadlock libvirt by having a domain with XML
longer than PIPE_BUF, and by writing a hook script that closes
stdin early.  This is because libvirt was keeping a copy of the
child's stdin read fd open, which means the write fd in the
parent will never see EPIPE (remember, libvirt should always be
run with SIGPIPE ignored, so we should never get a SIGPIPE signal).
Since there is no error, libvirt blocks waiting for a write to
complete, even though the only reader is also libvirt.  The
solution is to ensure that only the child can act as a reader
before the parent does any writes; and then dealing with the
fallout of dealing with EPIPE.

Thankfully, this is not a security hole - since the only way to
trigger the deadlock is to install a custom hook script, anyone
that already has privileges to install a hook script already has
privileges to do any number of other equally disruptive things
to libvirt; it would only be a security hole if an unprivileged
user could install a hook script to DoS a privileged user.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandRun): Close parent's copy of child
read fd earlier.
(virCommandProcessIO): Don't let EPIPE be fatal; the child may
be done parsing input.
* tests/commandhelper.c (main): Set up a SIGPIPE situation.
* tests/commandtest.c (test20): Trigger it.
* tests/commanddata/test20.log: New file.

Although src/util/viratomic.h has been added to the repo, up until now
it hasn't been used. Stefan Berger is using it in his proposed dhcp
snooping patches, and an rpm build with those patches failed due to
viratomic.h not being packed up with the rest of the sources.

glibc 2.15 (on Fedora 17) coupled with explicit disabling of
optimization during development dies a painful death:

In file included from /usr/include/limits.h:27:0,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/limits.h:169,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/syslimits.h:7,

/usr/include/features.h:314:4: error: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O) [-Werror=cpp]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Work around this by only conditionally defining _FORTIFY_SOURCE,
in the case where glibc can actually use it.  The trick is using
AH_VERBATIM instead of AC_DEFINE.

* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Squelch
_FORTIFY_SOURCE when needed to avoid glibc #warnings.

I noticed this during 'make syntax-check':

prohibit_readlink
grep: Unmatched ( or \(

* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_readlink): Fix
mismatched '('.

EBADF errors are logged as warnings as they normally indicate a double
close bug. This patch also provides VIR_MASS_CLOSE helper to be user in
the only case of mass close after fork when EBADF should rather be
ignored.

Probably a result of copy&paste...

The stream lock is unlocked twice instead of being locked and then
unlocked. Probably a typo.

If users *-edit but make a mistake in XML all changes are
permanently lost. However, if virsh is not running within
a script we can ask user if he wants to re-edit the file
and correct the mistakes.

Currently, we either generate some cmd*Edit commands (cmdPoolEdit
and cmdNetworkEdit) via sed script or copy the body of cmdEdit
(e.g. cmdInterfaceEdit, cmdNWFilterEdit, etc.). This fact makes
it harder to implement any new feature to our editing system.
Therefore switch to new implementation - define macros to:
- dump XML (EDIT_GET_XML)
- take an action if XML wasn't changed,
  usually just vshPrint() (EDIT_NOT_CHANGED)
- define new object (EDIT_DEFINE) - the edited XML is in @doc_edited
- free object defined by EDIT_DEFINE (EDIT_FREE)
and #include "virsh-edit.c"

With support for multiple IP addresses per interface in place, this patch
now adds support for multiple IP addresses per interface for the DHCP
snooping code.


Testing:

Since the infrastructure I tested this with does not provide multiple IP
addresses per MAC address (anymore), I either had to plug the VM's interface
from the virtual bride connected directly to the infrastructure to virbr0
to get a 2nd IP address from dnsmasq (kill and run dhclient inside the VM)
or changed the lease file  (/var/run/libvirt/network/nwfilter.leases) and
restart libvirtd to have a 2nd IP address on an existing interface.
Note that dnsmasq can take a lease timeout parameter as part of the --dhcp-range
command line parameter, so that timeouts can be tested that way
(--dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254,120). So, terminating and restarting
dnsmasq with that parameter is another choice to watch an IP address disappear
after 120 seconds.

   Stefan

The goal of this patch is to prepare for support for multiple IP
addresses per interface in the DHCP snooping code.

Move the code for the IP address map that maps interface names to
IP addresses into their own file. Rename the functions on the way
but otherwise leave the code as-is. Initialize this new layer
separately before dependent layers (iplearning, dhcpsnooping)
and shut it down after them.

This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).

Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.

The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='virbr0'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
        <parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>

All filters containing the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.

Currently, monitoring QEMU virtual machines with standard Unix
sysadmin tools is harder than it has to be. The QEMU command line is
often miles long and mostly redundant, it's hard to tell which process
is which.

This patch reorders the QEMU -name argument to be the first, so it's
immediately visible in "ps x", htop and "atop -c" output.

This patch resolves:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827519

The problem is that an interface with type='hostdev' will have an
alias of the form "hostdev%d", while the function that looks through
existing netdevs to determine the name to use for a new addition will
fail if there's an existing entry that does not match the form
"net%d".

This is another of the handful of places that need an exception due to
the hybrid nature of <interface type='hostdev'> (which is not exactly
an <interface> or a <hostdev>, but is both at the same time).

This patch makes virt-pki-validate work with certificates that have
acl or xattr set. Otherwise it failing due to wrong permissions.

If we migrate to fd, spec->fwdType is not MIGRATION_FWD_DIRECT,
we will close spec->dest.fd.local in qemuMigrationRun(). So we
should set spec->dest.fd.local to -1 in qemuMigrationRun().

Bug present since 0.9.5 (commit 32617617).

We should not set *outfd or *errfd if virExecWithHook() failed
because the caller may close these fds.

Bug present since v0.4.5 (commit 60ed1d2a).

Wen Congyang reported that we have a double-close bug if we fail
virFDStreamOpenInternal, since childfd duplicated one of the fds[]
array contents.  In truth, since we always transfer both members
of fds to other variables, we should close the fds through those
other names, and just use fds[] for pipe().

Bug present since 0.9.0 (commit e886237a).

* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFileInternal): Swap scope of
childfd and fds[], to avoid a double close.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki reported a nasty double-free bug when virCommand
is used to convert a string into input to a child command.  The
problem is that the poll() loop of virCommandProcessIO would close()
the write end of the pipe in order to let the child see EOF, then
the caller virCommandRun() would also close the same fd number, with
the second close possibly nuking an fd opened by some other thread
in the meantime.  This in turn can have all sorts of bad effects.

The bug has been present since the introduction of virCommand in
commit f16ad06f.

This is based on his first attempt at a patch, at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823716

* src/util/command.c (_virCommand): Drop inpipe member.
(virCommandProcessIO): Add argument, to avoid closing caller's fd
without informing caller.
(virCommandRun, virCommandNewArgs): Adjust clients.

virCommandRunAsync() will set errfd if it succeed. We should
close it if virFDStreamOpenInternal() fails.

If the system does not support bypass cache, we will close fd,
but it is uninitialized.

Apart from the non-sanlock check build, there is also a little fix for
qemu (EXTRA_DIST had qemu.conf and others inside even if the build was
supposed to be without qemu).

We generate *.aug from *.aug.in by augeas-gentest.pl, so this script
should be included in dist file.

Some of our rules used $(PERL), while others used 'perl'.  Always
using the variable allows a developer to point to a different (often
better) perl than the default one found on $PATH.

* daemon/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote_dispatch.h): s/perl/$(PERL).
* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/remote/remote_client_bodies.h)
(PDWTAGS, %protocol.c, %_probes.stp): Likewise.

Without this fix, a VPATH build (such as used by ./autobuild.sh)
fails with messages like:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/remote/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/build/daemon'
../../build-aux/augeas-gentest.pl libvirtd.conf ../../daemon/test_libvirtd.aug.in test_libvirtd.aug
cannot read libvirtd.conf: No such file or directory at ../../build-aux/augeas-gentest.pl line 38.

Since the test files are not part of the tarball, we can generate
them into the build dir, but rather than create a subdirectory
just for the test file, it is easier to test them directly in
libvirt.git/src.

* daemon/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Factor out definition.
(test_libvirtd.aug): Look for correct file.
* src/Makefile.am (AUG_GENTEST): Use $(PERL).
(qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug, lxc/test_libvirtd_lxc.aug)
(locking/test_libvirt_sanlock.aug): Rename to avoid subdirectories.
(check-augeas-qemu, check-augeas-lxc, check-augeas-sanlock): Reflect
location of built tests.
* configure.ac (PERL): Substitute perl.

Autoconf 2.60 and later insist on using ${datarootdir}, rather than
the derived ${datadir} (although the latter defaults to the former,
it is possible to set configure arguments so that they differ):

config.status: creating libvirt.pc
config.status: WARNING:  'libvirt.pc.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting

This patch follows the autoconf manual's suggestions for how to
support 2.59 (RHEL 5) and newer simultaneously.

* libvirt.pc.in (datarootdir): Define, so ${datadir} will not ignore
datarootdir when using newer autoconf.

Currently, we are logging only one side of pipes we
create in virCommandRequireHandshake(); This is enough
in cases where pipe2() returns two consecutive FDs. However,
it is not guaranteed and it may return any FDs.
Therefore, it's wise to log the other ends as well.
