* New autobuild script.Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-203-96/+104
| | | | | | | Remove the old top-level autobuild.sh that confused a lot of people. Add an autobuild.sh script that builds from the latest tarball.
* configure: Add --with-extra flag to allow setting the extra version string.Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-191-9/+19
| | | | | | | Intended use in Fedora and RHEL is to encode the release string, eg. ./configure [...] --with-extra="-%{release}"

* protocol: Fix case where download can fail for small files.Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-182-6/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There is another case where downloads of small files could fail if the library side (writer) fails. In this case the library would send back a cancellation, but it would be received after the daemon had finished sending the whole file (because the file is small enough). The daemon would reenter the main loop and immediately get an unexpected cancel message, causing the daemon to die. This commit also makes test-cancellation-download-librarycancels.sh more robust. We use Monte-Carlo testing with a range of file sizes. Small file sizes should trigger the error case.
* Escape special/non-printing characters in debug output (RHBZ#731744).Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-181-12/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default event handler in libguestfs was simply writing all debug output directly to stderr. However if the output contains non-printable characters such as terminal control codes then these would also be sent directly. With newer SeaBIOS there is a lame attempt to implement a splash screen using terminal control codes, thus when libguestfs tries to display debugging output it would cause the screen to clear and debug output to be lost. This commit causes all non-printing characters to be escaped. (\n and \r characters from the appliance are treated somewhat specially). Furthermore, instead of using write(2), use buffered stderr calls.
* Remove guestfs___print_timestamped_argv.Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-183-48/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function was used to print the qemu and febootstrap-supermin-helper command lines. Unfortunately in the qemu case it was used incorrectly: it called the internal debug function (ie. event API callback) from the forked qemu subprocess, which meant that higher level event callbacks might have been invoked from the child process. To fix this, convert the qemu case into a new function called print_qemu_command line which just prints the command line directly to stderr. This is called after stderr has been redirected into the pipe to the main process. Thus the qemu command line will be marshalled into the event API along with other qemu and appliance output. After fixing this, only one use of guestfs___print_timestamped_argv remained, for printing the febootstrap-supermin-helper command line. This is converted to a local function print_febootstrap_command_line. Also print_febootstrap_command_line is now called before we fork febootstrap-supermin-helper, so that messages no longer overlap.
* out-of-tree build: generate ./run from template, fix image checksHilko Bengen2011-08-188-23/+23
| | | | | | | ./run can now be run in a separate build directory. Since some files needed in the image checks are found in the source tree (but not the build tree), the source tree location is passed to make-*-img.sh via an environment variable.

* Improve zeroing and detection of zeroes.Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-162-21/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This code modifies zero, zero-device, is-zero, is-zero-device. zero and zero-device are modified so that if the blocks of the device already contain zeroes, then we don't write zeroes. The reason for this is to avoid unnecessarily making the underlying storage non-sparse or (in the qcow2 case) growing it. is-zero and is-zero-device are modified so that zero detection is faster. This is a nice side effect of making the first change. Since avoiding unnecessary zeroing involves reading the blocks before writing them, whereas before we just blindly wrote, this can be slower. As you can see from the tests below, in the case where the disk is sparse, it actually turns out to be faster, because we avoid allocating the underlying blocks. However in the case where the disk is non-sparse and full of existing data, it is much slower. There might be a case for an API flag to adjust whether or not we perform the zero check. I did not add this flag because it is unlikely that the caller would have enough information to be able to set the flag correctly. (Elapsed time in seconds) Format Test case Before After Raw Sparse 16.4 5.3 Preallocated zero 17.0 18.8 Preallocated random 16.0 41.3 Qcow2 preallocation=off 18.7 5.6 preallocation=metadata 17.4 5.8 The current code uses a fixed block size of 4K for reading and writing. I also tried the same tests with a block size of 64K but it didn't make any significant difference. (Thanks to Federico Simoncelli for suggesting this change)

* inspection: Better checking for Windows root disks (RHBZ#729075).Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-083-30/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously any disk that had /autoexec.bat or /boot.ini or /ntldr would be picked up as a candidate for a Windows root disk. If further checking could not find any systemroot (eg. /windows) then this would result in complete failure of inspection. In particular, this got confused by Hp_recovery partitions which have /autoexec.bat, but don't have a systemroot in one of the usual places (they have /MiniNT instead). What we do now is to properly investigate all possible systemroot places before deciding this is a Windows systemroot, so the subsequent failure cannot occur. (Thanks to lorimar for reporting this bug).

* daemon: Remove separate configure of daemon subdirectory.Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-059-531/+175
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Combine the two Gnulib instances together. Add checks from old daemon/configure.ac into configure.ac. Fix daemon/Makefile.am so it is like a normal subdirectory Makefile.am. Because we are now using the replacement strerror_r function from Gnulib (instead of the one from glibc directly), this requires a small change to src/guestfs.c.
