Peter Krempa 9ba73e7f6f vsh: cmdComplete: Don't exit when connecting to the daemon fails
Invoke the 'connHandler' without checking return value. 'virsh complete'
can provide useful completions even when the daemon connection is
broken.

Peter Krempa 9899c91515 vsh: Suppress attempts to write to stderr when it was closed in 'cmdComplete'
The completer closes stderr to suppress anything polluting the shell
when completion would cause any errors.

Since 'virshReconnect' would call 'vshError' on connection failure this
causes vshError to be killed by SIGPIPE and not provide any completions
if the connection is not possible.

To avoid this add a flag called 'stderr_closed' to vshControl and use it
to suppress output in 'vshPrintStderr'. Keep only the log.

Prior to this patch, attempt to run completion on a host with all
daemons shut down would result in:

 # virsh complete -- "start" "--doma" ; echo $?
 141
 #

With this patch the completion will still fail but the return code will
be 1. Further patch will allow completion.

Laine Stump f83c0a5e6e consistently use glib g_getenv() instead of libc getenv()
We've been using glib g_setenv() since commit
2c33532423 in December 2019 (switching
away from the gnulib version of setenv()). Most (but not all) of the
calls to get environment variables have remained using libc's getenv()
though, even though there is a g_getenv() wrapper in glib to match the
g_setenv() wrapper.

While getenv() doesn't have the thread safety problems of setenv(),
it's still recommended that users of g_setenv() also use g_getenv()
(for consistency, and because the glib functions handle UTF-8 properly
while libc getenv() may or may not depending on the setting of LANG in
the environment).

This patch changes all calls to getenv() to use g_getenv() instead,
with the exceptions of:

1) the call to getenv() in virt-login-shell.c (because
virt-login-shell runs setuid root, and we don't want glib or any other
gigantic library anywhere near a setuid program). In a few cases a
char * needs to be made const, and the return from getenv() needs to
be g_strdup()ed if it must stick around for any amount of time (since
the buffer returned from g_getenv() might be recycled/re-used if there
is another call to g_getenv()/g_setenv()).

2) the call to getenv() in libvirt_nss_log.c because it is compiled
into a loadable module that will be loaded into a process after the
process's normal startup, and so any initialization that might be
required for a glib function to operate properly may not be called.

Laine Stump 5b1c8c8b86 util: rename virGetUserDirectory(ByUID) to virGetUserHomeDirectory(ByUID)
All the other wrapper functions for glib g_get_user_*_dir() have the
type of directory (the "*" in that wildcarded name) in the libvirt
function name. These functions, on the other hand, call
g_get_home_dir(), but the libvirt API is called
virGetUserDirectory*(). Let's make it *a bit* closer to consistent (at
least the libvirt API names will be consistent with each other, even
if glib isn't).

Michal Privoznik 414c5b11bf lib: Avoid changing const strings via strchr() and friends
There's new commit in glibc [1] which makes memchr(), strchr(),
strrchr(), strpbrk() and strstr() reflect type of the input
string. If it's a constant string, then the return type of these
functions is also 'const char *'. But this change tickles
-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers warning.

And indeed, there are some places where we use a 'char *' typed
variable to store the retval, or even misuse the fact 'char *' is
returned and modify const string.

To fix this, a couple of different approaches is used:

  a) switch variable type to 'const char *',
  b) switch argument to 'char *' (in a few places we have
     strdup()-ed) the const string already,
  c) strdup() the string and use b).

Michal Privoznik 18fd4899f3 vsh: Allow vshReadlineInit() to be called multiple times
Thing about vshReadlineInit() is - it's called multiple times.
The first time from vshInit(), when @ctl was filled only
partially (most notably, before any argv parsing is done, hence
ctl->imode is set to false). The second time after argv parsing,
from virshInit() -> vshInitReload(). In here, ctl->imode might
have changed and thus vshReadlineInit() can't exit early - it
needs to set up stuff for interactive mode (history basically).

To allow vshReadlineInit() to be called again,
vshReadlineDeinit() must set @autoCompleteOpaque to NULL.

Michal Privoznik f6ab0d5bdd vsh: Restore original rl_line_buffer after completion
Problem with readline is its API. It's basically a bunch of
global variables with no clear dependencies between them. In this
specific case that I'm seeing: in interactive mode the
cmdComplete() causes instant crash of virsh/virt-admin:

==27999== Invalid write of size 1
==27999==    at 0x516EF71: _rl_init_line_state (readline.c:742)
==27999==    by 0x5170054: rl_initialize (readline.c:1192)
==27999==    by 0x516E5E4: readline (readline.c:379)
==27999==    by 0x1B7024: vshReadline (vsh.c:3048)
==27999==    by 0x140DCF: main (virsh.c:905)
==27999==  Address 0x0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd

This is because readline keeps a copy of pointer to
rl_line_buffer and the moment cmdComplete() returns and readline
takes over, it accesses the copy which is now a dangling pointer.

To fix this, just keep the original state of rl_line_buffer and
restore it.

Michal Privoznik cab1e71f01 vsh: Don't init history in cmdComplete()
Recent rework of virshtest uncovered a subtle bug that was
dormant in now vsh but before that even in monolithic virsh.

In vsh.c there's this vshReadlineInit() function that's supposed
to initialize readline library, i.e. set those global rl_*
pointers.  But it also initializes history library. Then, when
virsh/virt-admin quits, vshReadlineDeinit() is called which
writes history into a file (ensuring the parent directory
exists). So far no problem.

Problem arises when cmdComplete() is called (from a bash
completer, for instance). It does not guard call to
vshReadlineInit() with check for interactive shell (and it should
not), but it sets ctl->historyfile which signals to
vshReadlineDeinit() the history should be written.

Now, no real history is written, because nothing was entered on
the stdin, but the parent directory is created nevertheless. With
recent movement in virshtest.c this means some test cases might
create virsh history file which breaks our promise of not
touching user's data in test suite.

We already allow a optional positional _ARGV argument but there's no
reason why any other argument type could not be allowed this way.

Add checks that there's just one such argument and it's placed after
required positional arguments.

Peter Krempa baa20d6eb8 vsh: Fix option formatting for 'VHS_OT_ARGV' options
While previous fixes kept the help output unchanged as base for the
refactors it turns out that the formatting of help for argv options is
wrong.

Specifically in SYNOPSIS the non-positional _ARGV would have the option
name in square brackets (which in other cases means that given thing is
optional) despite being required.

Similarly in the DESCRIPTION section positional versions would not show
the optional argument name and also didn't use the three dots to signal
that it can be used multiple times.

Peter Krempa d226a2cd70 vsh: Introduce annotation for vsh options which are unexpectedly parsed positionally
Based on the rationale in previous commit, all commands which were
parsed as positional but not documented as such will be annotated with
this flag.

Peter Krempa 348010ac93 vsh: Introduce tool to find unwanted positional arguments to 'self-test'
While the virsh option definitions specify (either explicitly after
recent refactors, or implicitly before) whether an argument is
positional or not, the actual parser is way more lax and actually and
allows also arguments which were considered/documented as non-positional
to be filled positionally unless VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT is used in the flags.

This creates situations such as 'snapshot-create-as' which has the
following docs:

SYNOPSIS
  snapshot-create-as <domain> [--name <string>] [--description <string>]
    [--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only]
    [--reuse-external] [--quiesce] [--atomic] [--live] [--validate]
    [--memspec <string>] [[--diskspec] <string>]...

Thus showing as if '--name' and '--description' required the option, but
in fact the following happens when only positionals are passed:

  $ virsh snapshot-create-as --print-xml 1 2 3 4 5
  <domainsnapshot>
    <name>2</name>
    <description>3</description>
    <disks>
      <disk name='4'/>
      <disk name='5'/>
    </disks>
  </domainsnapshot>

In the above example e.g. '--memspec' is not populated.

This disconnect makes it impossible to refactor the parser itself and
allows users to write buggy interactions with virsh.

In order to address this we'll be annotating every single of these
unwanted positional options as such so that this doesn't happen in the
future, while still preserving the quirk in the parser.

This patch introduces a tool which outputs list of options which are not
marked as positional but are lacking the VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT flag.

This tool will be removed once all the offenders found by it will be
addressed.
