[libvirt PATCH] qemu: fix missing error reports in capabilities probing
by Daniel P. Berrangé 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

The "virsh domcapabilities --arch ppc64" command will fail with no error message set if qemu-system-ppc64 is not currently installed. This is because virQEMUCapsCacheLookup() does not report any error message if not capabilities can be obtained from the cache. Almost all methods calling this expected an error to be set on failure. Once that's fixed though, we see a further bug which is that virQEMUCapsCacheLookupDefault() is passing a NULL binary path to virQEMUCapsCacheLookup(), so we need to catch that too.

[PATCH] Substitute security_context_t with char *
by Michal Privoznik 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Historically, we've used security_context_t for variables passed to libselinux APIs. But almost 7 years ago, libselinux developers admitted in their API that in fact, it's just a 'char *' type [1]. Ever since then the APIs accept 'char *' instead, but they kept the old alias just for API stability. Well, not anymore [2]. 1: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/9eb9c9327563014ad6a807814e… 2: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/7a124ca2758136f49cc38efc26… Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> --- src/libvirt-lxc.c | 2 +- src/rpc/virnetsocket.c | 2 +- src/security/security_selinux.c | 26 +++++++++++++------------- src/storage/storage_util.c | 2 +- src/util/viridentity.c | 2 +- tests/securityselinuxhelper.c | 16 ++++++++-------- tests/securityselinuxlabeltest.c | 4 ++-- tests/securityselinuxtest.c | 2 +- tests/viridentitytest.c | 2 +- 9 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libvirt-lxc.c b/src/libvirt-lxc.c index 47a06a39f2..25f1cfc5f7 100644 --- a/src/libvirt-lxc.c +++ b/src/libvirt-lxc.c @@ -204,7 +204,7 @@ virDomainLxcEnterSecurityLabel(virSecurityModelPtr model, if (STREQ(model->model, "selinux")) { #ifdef WITH_SELINUX if (oldlabel) { - security_context_t ctx;

OK 15) SSH test 7 ... OK during a Debian package build. Full log: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libvirt&arch=armel&ver=6.4.0… Just a few days ago, this issue was discussed in https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/07/msg00070.html and libvirt was mentioned explicitly as a package that could be affected by it. Reproducing the issue is quite simple: just remove all IPv4 addresses *except* the one assigned to 'lo', and you'll see it immediately. The problem seems to be that, in this configuration, virNetSocketCheckProtocols() reports that both IPv4 and IPv6 are available, but XML-RPC is apparently not happy with that. I'm pretty bad at networking, so I'm reporting this in the hope that someone else will figure it out O:-) Anyway, there's another scenario that I found while digging: if you remove *all* IPv4 addresses, *including* the one assigned to 'lo', you get a different failure. My patch addresses this last one.

[RFC 00/21] RFC: Generate parsexml/formatbuf functions based on directives
by Shi Lei 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Last RFC: [https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-April/msg00970.html] In last RFC, I suggested we can generate object-model code based on relax-ng files and Daniel gave it some comments. Follow the suggestion from Daniel, I make another try to generate parsexml/formatbuf functions automatically. ============ Directives ============ Still, we need several directives that can direct a tool to generate functions. These directives work on the declarations of structs. For example: typedef struct _virNetworkDNSTxtDef virNetworkDNSTxtDef; typedef virNetworkDNSTxtDef *virNetworkDNSTxtDefPtr; struct _virNetworkDNSTxtDef { /* genparse:concisehook, genformat */ char *name; /* xmlattr, required */ char *value; /* xmlattr */ }; typedef struct _virNetworkDNSSrvDef virNetworkDNSSrvDef; typedef virNetworkDNSSrvDef *virNetworkDNSSrvDefPtr; struct _virNetworkDNSSrvDef { /* genparse:withhook, genformat */ char *service; /* xmlattr */ char *protocol; /* xmlattr */ char *domain; /* xmlattr */ char *target; /* xmlattr */ unsigned int port; /* xmlattr */ unsigned int priority; /* xmlattr */ unsigned int weight; /* xmlattr */ }; typedef struct _virNetworkDNSHostDef virNetworkDNSHostDef; typedef virNetworkDNSHostDef *virNetworkDNSHostDefPtr; struct _virNetworkDNSHostDef { /* genparse:withhook, genformat */ virSocketAddr ip; /* xmlattr */ size_t nnames; char **names; /* xmlelem:hostname, array */ }; typedef struct _virNetworkDNSForwarder virNetworkDNSForwarder; typedef virNetworkDNSForwarder *virNetworkDNSForwarderPtr; struct _virNetworkDNSForwarder { /* genparse:withhook, genformat */ char *domain; /* xmlattr */ virSocketAddr addr; /* xmlattr */ }; typedef struct _virNetworkDNSDef virNetworkDNSDef; typedef virNetworkDNSDef *virNetworkDNSDefPtr; struct _virNetworkDNSDef { /* genparse:withhook, genformat */ virTristateBool enable; /* xmlattr */ virTristateBool forwardPlainNames; /* xmlattr */ size_t nforwarders; virNetworkDNSForwarderPtr forwarders; /* xmlelem, array */ size_t ntxts; virNetworkDNSTxtDefPtr txts; /* xmlelem, array */ size_t nsrvs; virNetworkDNSSrvDefPtr srvs; /* xmlelem, array */ size_t nhosts; virNetworkDNSHostDefPtr hosts; /* xmlelem, array */ }; Explanation for these directives: - genparse[:withhook|concisehook] Only work on a struct. Generate parsexml function for this struct only if 'genparse' is specified. The function name is based on the struct-name and suffixed with 'ParseXML'. E.g., for struct virNetworkDNSDef, its parsexml function is virNetworkDNSDefParseXML. If a parsexml function includes some error-checking code, it needs a post-process hook to hold them. Specify 'withhook' or 'concisehook' to setup a hook point in the parsexml function. Executing the tool manually can show the declaration of hook function. E.g. check declaration of 'virNetworkDNSDefParseXMLHook'. # ./build-aux/generator/go show virNetworkDNSDef -kp int virNetworkDNSDefParseXMLHook(xmlNodePtr node, virNetworkDNSDefPtr def, const char *instname, void *opaque, const char *enableStr, const char *forwardPlainNamesStr, int nForwarderNodes, int nTxtNodes, int nSrvNodes, int nHostNodes); Some helper arguments (such as 'enableStr', 'nTxtNodes', etc.) are passed in to indicate the existence of fields. If these arguments are useless, specify 'concisehook' to omit them. When 'genparse' is specified, clear function for this struct is also generated implicitly, it is because the generated parsexml function needs to call the clear function. - genformat Only work on a struct. Generate formatbuf function for this struct only if 'genformat' is specified. The function name is based on struct-name and suffixed with 'FormatBuf'. - xmlattr[:thename] Parse/Format the field as an XML attribute. If 'thename' is specified, use it as the XML attribute name; or use the filed name. - xmlelem[:thename] Parse/Format the field as a child struct. If 'thename' is specified, use it as the XML element name; or use the filed name. - array Parse/Format the field as an array. Its related field is a counter, which name should follow the pattern: n + 'field_name'. - required The field must have a corresponding item defined in XML. Note: 1. If a field isn't specified with 'xmlattr' or 'xmlelem', it will be ignored in the parsexml/formatbuf functions. 2. For enum, use its name rather than int. E.g., the type of the field 'enable' in virNetworkDef should be 'virTristateBool' rather than 'int'. ======= Tool ======= The Tool is based on libclang and its python-binding. It has three subcommands: 'list', 'show' and 'generate'.

[PATCH v5 0/3] tpm: Fix default choices for CRB and SPAPR dev models
by Stefan Berger 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb(a)linux.ibm.com> This series of patches adds an additional check for the SPAPR device model that prevents the choice of a TPM 1.2 backend and chooses a TPM 2 as default. Also CRB now chooses a TPM 2 as default since TPM 1.2 wouldn't work with it, either. Stefan v4->v5: - Added R-b's Stefan Berger (3): qemu: Move setting of TPM default to post parse function qemu: Set SPAPR TPM default to 2.0 and prevent 1.2 choice qemu: Choose TPM 2 for backend as default for CRB interface src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 12 +++++++++--- src/qemu/qemu_validate.c | 10 ++++++---- 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1

[PATCH] docs: bhyve: document ignoring unknown MSRs

14 Jul '20

Ignoring unknown MSRs using <features> element <msrs unknown='ignore'/> was supported for quite some already, so add documentation for it for completeness of flags coverage, as some guests can be extra picky about flags passed to bhyve, and it's useful to know how to control those.
