This was failing with recent Linux:
libguestfs: error: btrfs_subvolume_snapshot: /dir/test3: /dir/test6: ERROR: cannot snapshot '/sysroot/dir/test3': Invalid argument
I tried to change the test to use 1/1000 instead, but that fails with
a different error which I don't understand at all.
As we're not meant to be testing btrfs here, only that libguestfs can
translate between the guestfs API and btrfs commands and we know it
can do that, I simply deleted the sub-test entirely.
sfdisk can now do everything with GPT that sgdisk was needed for
before. In particular we are able to reimplement the following
functions using sfdisk:
- part_set_disk_guid (replace with sfdisk --disk-id)
- part_get_disk_guid
- part_set_disk_guid_random
- part_set_gpt_attributes (sfdisk --part-attrs)
- part_get_gpt_attributes
- part_set_gpt_guid (sfdisk --part-uuid)
- part_get_gpt_guid
- part_set_gpt_type (sfdisk --part-type)
- part_get_gpt_type
This allows us to drop the requirement for gdisk in many cases.
There is only one API remaining which requires gdisk, part_expand_gpt,
which we do not use in our tools. In a prior commit I already moved
this solitary function to a new source file (daemon/gdisk.c).

The previous code split it on ',' which was completely wrong.
(It reveals the lack of testing however).

Since OCaml 5.1.1, changes to custom blocks caused C finalizers that
call caml_enter_blocking_section to stop working (if they ever did
before). They are relatively inflexible compared to registering an
OCaml finalizer (Gc.finalise) to call Guestfs.close, so use that
instead.

Using 'virt-customize --tar-in some.tar:/dir -a disk.img' will unpack
'some.tar' into '/dir' in the guest. Note that this will not work for
compressed tar files as written since the underlying guestfs_tar_in
function requires the compression type to be set explicitly and
defaults to no compression (it does not auto-detect or default to
compression).
The just added --chown option previously used StringPair, splitting
the argument as ‘UID.GID:FILENAME’. However this will not work if we
ever extend this with the ability to use user or group names, since
they may contain dot (but not colon). Add a new StringTriplet type
and split the argument string three ways. The new option becomes:
virt-customize ... --chown UID:GID:FILENAME

The presence of this file complicates ./configure and you also have to
remember to update it on each release. Replace it with a simple
RELEASE_DATE set in ./configure when the version is updated.
I also had to make a minor change to the generator which was using
this file both to check it was run from the source directory and to
get an exclusive lock. We now use podwrapper.pl.in for this.
Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
Add an API to return the build ID of the guest. This to allow a
future change to be able to distinguish between Windows 10 and Windows 11
which can only be done using the build ID.
For Windows we can read the CurrentBuildNumber key from the registry.
For Linux there happens to be a BUILD_ID field in /etc/os-release.
I've never seen a Linux distro that actually uses this.

The file(1) manual suggests using -S (disable seccomp) with -z since
the set of system calls provided by the seccomp policy does not allow
the subprocess to run. This is obvious when you use file -z on a
compressed file on a Linux distro that enables file's seccomp policy
(Arch does this, Fedora does not):
$ file -zbsL lib-i586.so.zst
Bad system call
I also fixed some incorrect text in the manual.

The macOS rpcgen actually generates calls to xdr_uint64_t but doesn't
define them. Despite this we can just use xdr_int64_t instead since
it's just byte swapping.
This is required so we can determine the file architecture of
zstd-compressed Linux kernel modules as used by OpenSUSE and maybe
other distros in future.
Note that zstd becomes a required package, but it is widely available
in current Linux distros.
The package names come from https://pkgs.org/download/zstd and my own
research.
Starting with PHP8, arginfo is mandatory for PHP extensions. This patch
updates the generator for the PHP bindings to generate the arginfo
structures, using the Zend API macros. Only basic arginfo is added,
without full documentation of argument and return types, in order to
ensure compatibility with as many versions of PHP as possible.
The documentation currently says that the user should avoid passing
"--selinux-relabel" on the command line if the guest does not support
SELinux. However, the "is_selinux_guest" helper function in
"common/mlcustomize/SELinux_relabel.ml" already turns "--selinux-relabel"
into a no-op if some key SELinux files are absent from the guest, so there
is no need to caution the user.
This change is relevant because the subsequent patches will turn on
"--selinux-relabel" by default, and therefore "is_selinux_guest" will grow
in importance.

Representing "iface" in the "drive_create_data" and "drive" structures is
now useless; the direct backend ignores "iface", while the libvirt one
rejects it unless it is empty. Unify both backends -- make them both
ignore "iface". (Which only relaxes the libvirt backend, so it cannot
cause compatibility problems.) This lets us remove the fields. Update the
documentation as well.

Currently the guestfs_readdir() API can not list long directories, due to
it sending back the whole directory listing in a single guestfs protocol
response, which is limited to GUESTFS_MESSAGE_MAX (approx. 4MB) in size.
Introduce the "internal_readdir" action, for transferring the directory
listing from the daemon to the library through a FileOut parameter.
Rewrite guestfs_readdir() on top of this new internal function:
- The new "internal_readdir" action is a daemon action. Do not repurpose
the "readdir" proc_nr (138) for "internal_readdir", as some distros ship
the binary appliance to their users, and reusing the proc_nr could
create a mismatch between library & appliance with obscure symptoms.
Replace the old proc_nr (138) with a new proc_nr (511) instead; a
mismatch would then produce a clear error message. Assume the new action
will first be released in libguestfs-1.48.2.
- Turn "readdir" from a daemon action into a non-daemon one. Call the
daemon action guestfs_internal_readdir() manually, receive the FileOut
parameter into a temp file, then deserialize the dirents array from the
temp file.
This patch sneakily fixes an independent bug, too. In the pre-patch
do_readdir() function [daemon/readdir.c], when readdir() returns NULL, we
don't distinguish "end of directory stream" from "readdir() failed". This
rewrite fixes this problem -- I didn't see much value separating out the
fix for the original do_readdir().

Before commit 3a00c4d179 ("Remove inspection from the C library and
switch to daemon/OCaml implementation") in 2017 the name parameter
passed to add_drive was used by inspection to override the device name
that is determined from fstab. None of our tools ever actually used
this parameter, and when the inspection code was moved inside the
daemon we stopped using this hint field at all.
So it's no longer used, and likely hasn't been used ever. Therefore
document that the field does nothing.

This was a feature that allowed you to add drives to the appliance
after launching it. It was complicated to implement, and only worked
for the libvirt backend (not "direct", which is the default backend).
It also turned out to be a bad idea. The original concept was that
appliance creation was slow, so to examine multiple guests you should
launch the handle once then hot-add the disks from each guest in turn
to manipulate them. However this is terrible from a security point of
view, especially for multi-tenant, because the drives from one guest
might compromise the appliance and thus the filesystems/drives from
subsequent guests.
It also turns out that hotplugging is very slow. Nowadays appliance
creation should be faster than hotplugging.
The main use case for this was virt-df, but virt-df no longer uses it
after we discovered the problems outlined above.
These APIs were an experimental feature for passing through 9p
filesystems from the host to the libguestfs appliance. It was never
possible to use this without hacking the qemu command line of the
appliance to add such drives by hand. It also didn't fit the
libguestfs model very well. And 9p is generally deprecated in
upstream qemu.
Note that for ABI reasons these APIs are not actually removed, they
have been changed so that they always return an error. These APIs
were actually hard-removed from all versions of RHEL.
See-also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/921710
User-Mode Linux was an alternative hypervisor that could run the
appliance, instead of using qemu. It had many limitations including
lack of network, and UML support in Linux has been semi-broken for a
long time. It was also slower than KVM on baremeal in general and had
various corner cases which were much slower including the emulated
serial port which made bulk uploads and downloads painful. Also of
course it lacked qemu-specific features like qcow2 or any
network-backed disk, so many disk images could not be opened this way.
This was never supported in RHEL.
See-also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1144197
This experimental feature allowed you (in theory) to connect to an
existing instance of the libguestfs daemon. (Again, in theory) it
allowed you to attach to running guests. This didn't work well in
practice. If you want to do this, install qemu-guest-agent inside
your guest instead.
This also disables the --live options in guestfish and guestmount.
(The option now prints an error).
This was never supported in RHEL.
The daemon tests relied on this connection method to perform tests on
a bare daemon, so this removes those tests. They were not especially
valuable.
