d46dd75e3a virsh-completer: use VIR_AUTOSTRINGLIST for tmp
We've been open-coding virStringListFreeCount for cleaning up
the completion list we're building. This had the advantage of
zeoring the pointer afterwards, which is no longer needed
now that we compile the list in 'tmp' instead of 'ret'.

Since all our lists are NULL-terminated anyway, switch to using
virStringListFree via the VIR_AUTOSTRINGLIST macro.

Fixes nearly impossible NULL dereferences in
  virshNWFilterBindingNameCompleter
  virshNWFilterNameCompleter
  virshNodeDeviceNameCompleter
  virshNetworkNameCompleter
  virshInterfaceNameCompleter
  virshStoragePoolNameCompleter
  virshDomainNameCompleter
which jumped on the error label after a failed allocation
and a possible one in
  virshStorageVolNameCompleter
which jumped there when we fail to fetch the list of volumes.

35d76db2b7 tests: Don't use canonical paths in virstoragetest
The layout of my home directory is somewhat peculiar: I store
all git repositories in ~/src/upstream, but since I spend
almost all of my time hacking on libvirt, I also have a
convenience symlink ~/src/libvirt -> ~/src/upstream/libvirt
that I use to access that specific git repository.

The above setup has served me well for years; however, ever
since commit ca1471622d dropped our own custom definitions
for abs_{,top_}{src,build}dir and started using the ones
provided by autotools, virstoragetest has started reliably
failing with errors such as

   2) Storage backing chain 2 ...

  Expect [chain member: 0
  path:/home/abologna/src/upstream/libvirt/tests/virstoragedata/raw

Using abolute paths instead of canonical ones in the tests makes
the problem go away.

Note that all tests that are specifically designed to test path
canonicalization via TEST_PATH_CANONICALIZE() were passing even
before this patch and are not touched by it.

be819ebece maint: Drop ChangeLog-old
This file contains the old school ChangeLog, which was manually
updated for every set of changes before the switch to git.

When libvirt was imported into git, however, *all* history was
preserved, including the changes documented in this file, and
can still be inspected using 'git log' just like more recent
changes: the format might be slightly different, but that's not
quite reason enough to treat this file any differently than the
git-generated ChangeLog we just dropped.

ce97c33a79 maint: Stop generating ChangeLog from git
Our ChangeLog is generated by basically redirecting the output
of 'git log' into it so, as can be expected, it has only gotten
bigger as development has progressed. As of today, its size has
reached pretty much comical levels:

  $ du -sk ChangeLog
  11328 ChangeLog

All of that for information *literally nobody* cares about: end
users and distro maintainers have proper release notes lovingly
compiled for them, while developers peruse the history either by
calling 'git log' directly or through their favorite $EDITOR's
git integration.

Replacing the generated ChangeLog with a short message pointing
interested parties to the git repository does not only reduce
the size of the unpacked sources from 259904 KiB to 248576 KiB
(~4% saving): from a quick test on my laptop, doing so reduces
the size of the *compressed* release archive from 15140 KiB to
12364 KiB (~18% saving) and also takes the time needed to run
'make distcheck' down from 4:44 to 4:21 (~8% saving).

3f7cba3f5e util: suppress unimportant ovs-vsctl errors when getting interface stats
commit edaf13565 modified the stats retrieval for OVS interfaces to
not fail when one of the fields was unrecognized by the ovs-vsctl
command, but ovs-vsctl was still returning an error, and libvirt was
cluttering the logs with these inconsequential error messages.

This patch modifies the GET_STAT macro to add "--if-exists" to the
ovs-vsctl command, which causes it to return an empty string (and exit
with success) if the requested statistic isn't in its database, thus
eliminating the ugly error messages from the log.

97b729effe qemuxml2argvtest: Drop dependency between testInfoArgName and virQEMUCapsFlags enums
Introduced in fdf6c89ee7, this dependency looks weird. It was
needed because of the way that while() loop was written - it
fetches next argument in every iteration. Therefore, our only
option was for ARG_END to have the same value as QEMU_CAPS_LAST.
This also meant that QEMU_CAPS_* could have been only at the end
of the __VA_ARGS__.

This commit reworks the while() loop and removes the dependency.

087a74e160 qemu_capabilities; Drop virQEMUCapsSetVAList
There is one specific caller (testInfoSetArgs() in
qemuxml2argvtest.c) which expect the va_list argument to change
after returning from the virQEMUCapsSetVAList() function.
However, since we are passing plain va_list this is not
guaranteed. The man page of stdarg(3) says:

  If ap is passed to a function that uses va_arg(ap,type), then
  the value of ap is undefined after the return of that function.

(ap is a variable of type va_list)

I've seen this in action in fact: on i686 the qemuxml2argvtest
fails on the second test case because testInfoSetArgs() sees
ARG_QEMU_CAPS and calls virQEMUCapsSetVAList to process the
capabilities (in this case there's just one
QEMU_CAPS_SECCOMP_BLACKLIST). But since the changes are not
reflected in the caller, in the next iteration testInfoSetArgs()
sees the QEMU capability and not ARG_END.

The mock fopen() function will abort if "/proc/mounts" is

Unfortunately this is triggering by the libselinux library
constructor when it tries to read /proc/mounts to find out
if selinuxfs is mounted in an unusual place.

This, however, only affects libselinux in Debian as that
opens with "r", while in Fedora / RHEL it opens "re" and
thus luckily never triggered the abort(), instead getting

ldconfig needs to be called after installing or uninstalling

For a very long time, libvirt didn't have a separate package

the corresponding ldconfig calls were not moved at the same
time, which is what this commit takes care of.

parameter.

78be51b3e5 Public API for parallel migration
This patch adds a new VIR_MIGRATE_PARALLEL flag for migration APIs which
will ask the hypervisor to use multiple parallel connections for
migrating a domain. The number of parallel connections can be set using
VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_PARALLEL_CONNECTIONS typed parameter.

421861824c backup: Introduce virDomainCheckpointPtr
Prepare for introducing a bunch of new public APIs related to
backup checkpoints by first introducing a new internal type
and errors associated with that type.  Checkpoints are modeled
heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both represent a point in
time of the guest), although a snapshot exists with the intent
of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint exists to
make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time.

1c6b6c0ba1 snapshot: Various doc tweaks
Since I was copying this text to form checkpoint XML and API
documentation, I might as well make improvements along the way. Most
of these changes are based on reviews of the checkpoint docs.

Among other things: grammar tweaks, point to a single source of
documentation rather than repeating verbosity, reword things for
easier legibility.
