All callers used the same initialization seed (well, the new viratomictest forgot to look at getpid()); so we might as well make this value automatic. And while it may feel like we are giving up functionality, I documented how to get it back in the unlikely case that you actually need to debug with a fixed pseudo-random sequence. I left that crippled by default, so that a stray environment variable doesn't cause a lack of randomness to become a security issue. * src/util/virrandom.c (virRandomInitialize): Rename... (virRandomOnceInit): ...and make static, with one-shot call. Document how to do fixed-seed debugging. * src/util/virrandom.h (virRandomInitialize): Drop prototype. * src/libvirt_private.syms (virrandom.h): Don't export it. * src/libvirt.c (virInitialize): Adjust caller. * src/lxc/lxc_controller.c (main): Likewise. * src/security/virt-aa-helper.c (main): Likewise. * src/util/iohelper.c (main): Likewise. * tests/seclabeltest.c (main): Likewise. * tests/testutils.c (virtTestMain): Likewise. * tests/viratomictest.c (mymain): Likewise.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
