libvirt: uprev to the latest release, v4.3.0

2018-06-05T16:01:01+00:00

We have been using the 1.3.x release series for a long time now which has been great for stability but is slowly becoming harder and harder to track and port bug and CVE fixes. This is a big jump to the latest upstream release which gives us access to a myriad of fixes as well as puts us in a better position to contribute to the upstream project when issues are found. Several patches have been dropped as they are either no longer valid against this release or have equivalent updates already applied to the upstream project. Some patches were consolidated which should ease future uprevs of this recipe. The majority of the updates were related to ptest patches, which is not a huge surprise given this code has no upstream equivalent. The overall runtime behavior remains much the same from v1.3.5 with the only notable configuration change being for 'seccomp_sandbox' which has been disabled here but should possibly be revisited in the near future. As usual the normal runtime usecases for qemu/kvm and lxc have been run successfully along with ptest results which are by and large OK: ==================================== Testsuite summary for libvirt 4.3.0 ==================================== # TOTAL: 119 # PASS: 115 # SKIP: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 4 # XPASS: 0 # ERROR: 0 Signed-off-by: Mark Asselstine Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

libvirt: fixups for glibc 2.27 - with Sun RPC Interfaces removed

2018-05-10T20:43:28+00:00

With Sun RPC Interfaces removed from libc we need to use an external provider for rpc. Polling other distros there seems to be consensus to use libtirpc so we follow this trend. Unfortunately this should only require the DEPENDS addition to the recipe but the upstream project has a few flaws in their Makefiles and configure which we need to work around so we add 2 new patches to address these to allow for the use of a sysroot and to use the $XDR_CFLAGS in a few more places.

dnsmasq: add dnsmasq.d entries for lxc and libvirt

2017-12-28T16:12:26+00:00

A while ago changes were merged to meta-openembedded to make /etc/dnsmasq.d (and specifically the files it contains) referenced when the main instance of dnsmasq is run (see dnsmasq.service and commit ba665493a0dd [dnsmasq: allow for dnsmasq instances to reuse default dnsmasq.conf]). We, however, continued to modify the global configuration (/etc/dnsmasq.conf) to keep the main instance of dnsmasq from attaching to virbr0 and lxcbr0, by using 'bind-dynamic'. This approach is problematic, since it is common that other instances of dnsmasq will make use of the global configuration file and may have incompatible options. We see this for example when attempting to start lxc-net which will attempt to use 'bind-interface' which is incompatible with 'bind-dynamic' that we were adding to the global configuration. Here we remove our change to the global configuration (leaving it mostly empty as it should be) and instead have lxc and libvirt packages instruct the global instance not to bind to virbr0 and lxcbr0 by adding configuration files to /etc/dnsmasq.d (setting except-interface). The added benefit to this approach is that if lxc or libvirt are not part of an image the global configuration will not be modified in such a way as to expect that they are present.

libvirt: fix build failure, failing QA check

libvirt: add DEPENDS for libdevmapper

2017-04-27T20:37:59+00:00

Commit 8709d4504c35817ef1d7181b47ba96c3ca0c949e [lvm2: separate libdevmapper to avoid circular dependency] in meta-oe meant that our build would fail with checking for libdevmapper.h... no configure: error: You must install device-mapper-devel/libdevmapper >= 1.0.0 to compile libvirt Add the required DEPENDS for libdevmapper to get the build working as it did prior to this meta-oe change. NOTE: our previous dependency on lvm2 was not only to get libdevmapper functionality, so lvm2 remains a valid DEPENDS, so is left in place.

libvirt: Fix conditional dependencies on polkit

2017-04-25T02:51:26+00:00

The DIRFILES variable was a temporary workaround to resolve a do_rootfs RPM package conflict between libvirt and polkit. This happened because of the different permissions and ownership that the packages placed on ${datadir}/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d. The behaviour is now conditional based on how PACKAGECONFIG is set. The polkit rules will be removed from the package if polkit is not enabled. If polkit is enabled the permissions and ownership are set to match those set by the polkit recipe. This uses the useradd enhancements for RSS. It requires that shadow-native be included as a DEPENDS to provide the useradd command in the native sysroot.

libvirt: fix polkit file conflict

The switch to RPM4 and dnf results in this error during rootfs construction: Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d conflicts between attempted installs of libvirt-1.3.5-r0.13.core2_64 and polkit-0.113-r0.9.core2_64 We can temporarily work around it by instructing RPM to not package/process the dirfiles.

libvirt: add 'wireshark' packageconfig

2016-11-17T18:02:23+00:00

libvirt by default has '--with-wireshark-dissector' set to 'check'. Therefor if wireshark is built before vs after libvirt this will result in a potentially unexpected difference in how libvirt is configured. Additionally the build of libvirt with wireshark capabilities enabled is currently broken and thus if attempted will result in the error: fatal error: ws_symbol_export.h: No such file or directory To prevent the random configuration of libvirt with respect to wireshark we add a new packageconfig for wireshark. NOTE that the wireshark recipe is currently incomplete so this new packageconfig will result in a build failure if used, until wireshark is updated to build libwsutil. Signed-off-by: Mark Asselstine
