1193fc5f44 libssh2_transport: add main libssh2 transport implementation
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.

ba9c38b430 build: fix build with autoconf 2.59
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.

3b0cd660ef Fix timebomb in LIBVIRT_VERSION_INFO calculation
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

43bfa23e6f json: fix interface locale dependency
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.

7a054e99e2 Avoid clash of base64 symbols
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

0c9fd4cfe9 Rewrite virAtomic APIs using GLib's atomic ops code
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.

29bc4fe646 Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver
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>
  </disk>

To work right this patch parses the output of collie,
so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused
size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and
will be in the next release.

Commit 6e769eba made it a runtime error if libvirt was compiled

when trying to use the built executable.

3c3644d30f build: ensure storage driver is used
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.

storage_dir is disabled.
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Pick up storage driver for any backend, not

1d22ba953b build: silence libtool during tests
Libtool is picky about linking against a module library (aka a .so);
giving lots of warnings like this in the tests directory:

  CCLD   networkxml2argvtest

*** Warning: Linking the executable networkxml2argvtest against the loadable module
*** libvirt_driver_network.so is not portable!

74951eadef storage backend: Add RBD (RADOS Block Device) support
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.

bae13129c1 build: fix bootstrap on RHEL
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.

* configure.ac: Likewise.

2223ea984c The policy kit and HAL node device drivers both require a
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.

0f8e7ae33a qemu: Support numad
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.

3f4238d771 util: Add helpers for safe domain console operations
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.

1d4c4d9d4f Workaround python header file insanity
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

2b38e59bd8 configure: Define program name if not found
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.

286088567d storage: Allow runtime detection of scrub
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.

df81004632 network: support Open vSwitch
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

adb99a05b1 storage: Support different wiping algorithms
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.

4c18acffd7 build: skip lxc with too-old glibc
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.

ba61012cfc Disable netcf if building without libvirtd
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
