guestfs-hacking - extending and contributing to libguestfs

=head1 説明

This manual page is for hackers who want to extend libguestfs itself.

=head1 THE SOURCE CODE

Libguestfs source is located in the github repository
L<https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs>

Large amounts of boilerplate code in libguestfs (RPC, bindings,
documentation) are generated.  This means that many source files will appear
to be missing from a straightforward git checkout.  You have to run the
generator (C<./autogen.sh && make -C generator>) in order to create those
files.

Libguestfs uses an autotools-based build system, with the main files being
F<configure.ac> and F<Makefile.am>.  See L</THE BUILD SYSTEM>.

The F<generator> subdirectory contains the generator, plus files describing
the API.  The F<lib> subdirectory contains source for the library.  The
F<appliance> and F<daemon> subdirectories contain the source for the code
that builds the appliance, and the code that runs in the appliance
respectively.  Other directories are covered in the section L<SOURCE CODE
SUBDIRECTORIES> below.

Apart from the fact that all API entry points go via some generated code,
the library is straightforward.  (In fact, even the generated code is
designed to be readable, and should be read as ordinary code).  Some actions
run entirely in the library, and are written as C functions in files under
F<lib>.  Others are forwarded to the daemon where (after some generated RPC
marshalling) they appear as C functions in files under F<daemon>.

To build from source, first read the L<guestfs-building(1)>.

=head2 ソースコードのサブディレクトリー

There are a lot of subdirectories in the source tree! Which ones should you
concentrate on first? F<lib> and F<daemon> which contain the source code of
the core library.  F<generator> is the code generator described above, so
that is important.  The F<Makefile.am> in the root directory will tell you
in which order the subdirectories get built.  And then if you are looking at
a particular tool (eg. F<customize>) or language binding (eg. F<python>), go
straight to that subdirectory, but remember that if you didn't run the
generator yet, then you may find files which appear to be missing.

=head2 THE BUILD SYSTEM

Libguestfs uses the GNU autotools build system (autoconf, automake,
libtool).

The F<./configure> script is generated from F<configure.ac> and
F<m4/guestfs-*.m4>.  Most of the configure script is split over many m4
macro files by topic, for example F<m4/guestfs-daemon.m4> deals with the
dependencies of the daemon.

The job of the top level F<Makefile.am> is mainly to list the subdirectories
(C<SUBDIRS>) in the order they should be compiled.

F<common-rules.mk> is included in every F<Makefile.am> (top level and
subdirectories).  F<subdir-rules.mk> is included only in subdirectory
F<Makefile.am> files.

There are many make targets.  Use this command to list them all:

 make help

=head1 EXTENDING LIBGUESTFS

=head2 ADDING A NEW API

Because large amounts of boilerplate code in libguestfs are generated, this
makes it easy to extend the libguestfs API.

To add a new API action there are two changes:

=over 4

=item 1.

You need to add a description of the call (name, parameters, return type,
tests, documentation) to F<generator/actions_*.ml> and possibly
F<generator/proc_nr.ml>.

There are two sorts of API action, depending on whether the call goes
through to the daemon in the appliance, or is serviced entirely by the
library (see L<guestfs-internals(1)/ARCHITECTURE>).
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_sync> is an example of the former, since the sync is
done in the appliance.  L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_set_trace> is an example of the
latter, since a trace flag is maintained in the handle and all tracing is
done on the library side.

Most new actions are of the first type, and get added to the
C<daemon_functions> list.  Each function has a unique procedure number used
in the RPC protocol which is assigned to that action when we publish
libguestfs and cannot be reused.  Take the latest procedure number and
increment it.

For library-only actions of the second type, add to the
C<non_daemon_functions> list.  Since these functions are serviced by the
library and do not travel over the RPC mechanism to the daemon, these
functions do not need a procedure number, and so the procedure number is set
to C<-1>.

=item 2.

Implement the action (in C):

For daemon actions, implement the function C<do_E<lt>nameE<gt>> in the
C<daemon/> directory.

For library actions, implement the function C<guestfs_impl_E<lt>nameE<gt>>
in the C<lib/> directory.

In either case, use another function as an example of what to do.

=item 3.

As an alternative to step 2: Since libguestfs 1.38, daemon actions can be
implemented in OCaml.  You have to set the C<impl = OCaml ...> flag in the
generator.  Take a look at F<daemon/file.ml> for an example.

=back

これらの変更をした後、コンパイルするために C<make> を使用してください。

Note that you don’t need to implement the RPC, language bindings, manual
pages or anything else.  It’s all automatically generated from the OCaml
description.

=head3 Adding tests for an API

You can supply zero or as many tests as you want per API call.  The tests
can either be added as part of the API description
(F<generator/actions_*.ml>), or in some rarer cases you may want to drop a
script into C<tests/*/>.  Note that adding a script to C<tests/*/> is
slower, so if possible use the first method.

The following describes the test environment used when you add an API test
in F<actions_*.ml>.

テスト環境は 4 個のブロックデバイスを持ちます:

=over 4

=item F</dev/sda> 2 GB

テスト用の一般的なブロックデバイス。

=item F</dev/sdb> 2 GB

F</dev/sdb1> is an ext2 filesystem used for testing filesystem write
operations.

=item F</dev/sdc> 10 MB

2 つのブロックデバイスが必要となるいくつかのテストにおいて使用されます。

=item F</dev/sdd>

ISO with fixed content (see F<images/test.iso>).

=back

To be able to run the tests in a reasonable amount of time, the libguestfs
appliance and block devices are reused between tests.  So don't try testing
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_kill_subprocess> :-x

Each test starts with an initial scenario, selected using one of the
C<Init*> expressions, described in F<generator/types.ml>.  These initialize
the disks mentioned above in a particular way as documented in F<types.ml>.
You should not assume anything about the previous contents of other disks
that are not initialized.

You can add a prerequisite clause to any individual test.  This is a
run-time check, which, if it fails, causes the test to be skipped.  Useful
if testing a command which might not work on all variations of libguestfs
builds.  A test that has prerequisite of C<Always> means to run
unconditionally.

In addition, packagers can skip individual tests by setting environment
variables before running C<make check>.

 SKIP_TEST_<CMD>_<NUM>=1

eg: C<SKIP_TEST_COMMAND_3=1> skips test #3 of L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_command>.

または:

 SKIP_TEST_<CMD>=1

eg: C<SKIP_TEST_ZEROFREE=1> skips all L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_zerofree> tests.

Packagers can run only certain tests by setting for example:

 TEST_ONLY="vfs_type zerofree"

See F<tests/c-api/tests.c> for more details of how these environment
variables work.

=head3 Debugging new APIs

Test new actions work before submitting them.

新しいコマンドを試すために guestfish を使うことができます。

Debugging the daemon is a problem because it runs inside a minimal
environment.  However you can fprintf messages in the daemon to stderr, and
they will show up if you use C<guestfish -v>.

=head2 ADDING A NEW LANGUAGE BINDING

All language bindings must be generated by the generator (see the
F<generator> subdirectory).

There is no documentation for this yet.  We suggest you look at an existing
binding, eg. F<generator/ocaml.ml> or F<generator/perl.ml>.

=head3 Adding tests for language bindings

Language bindings should come with tests.  Previously testing of language
bindings was rather ad-hoc, but we have been trying to formalize the set of
tests that every language binding should use.

Currently only the OCaml and Perl bindings actually implement the full set
of tests, and the OCaml bindings are canonical, so you should emulate what
the OCaml tests do.

This is the numbering scheme used by the tests:

 - 000+ basic tests:
 
   010  load the library
   020  create
   030  create-flags
   040  create multiple handles
   050  test setting and getting config properties
   060  explicit close
   065  implicit close (in GC'd languages)
   070  optargs
   080  version
   090  retvalues
 
 - 100  launch, create partitions and LVs and filesystems
 
 - 400+ events:
 
   410  close event
   420  log messages
   430  progress messages
 
 - 800+ regression tests (specific to the language)
 
 - 900+ any other custom tests for the language

To save time when running the tests, only 100, 430, 800+, 900+ should launch
the handle.

=head2 FORMATTING CODE

Our C source code generally adheres to some basic code-formatting
conventions.  The existing code base is not totally consistent on this
front, but we do prefer that contributed code be formatted similarly.  In
short, use spaces-not-TABs for indentation, use 2 spaces for each
indentation level, and other than that, follow the K&R style.

If you use Emacs, add the following to one of your start-up files (e.g.,
~/.emacs), to help ensure that you get indentation right:

 ;;; In libguestfs, indent with spaces everywhere (not TABs).
 ;;; Exceptions: Makefile and ChangeLog modes.
 (add-hook 'find-file-hook
     '(lambda () (if (and buffer-file-name
                          (string-match "/libguestfs\\>"
                              (buffer-file-name))
                          (not (string-equal mode-name "Change Log"))
                          (not (string-equal mode-name "Makefile")))
                     (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))))
 
 ;;; When editing C sources in libguestfs, use this style.
 (defun libguestfs-c-mode ()
   "C mode with adjusted defaults for use with libguestfs."
   (interactive)
   (c-set-style "K&R")
   (setq c-indent-level 2)
   (setq c-basic-offset 2))
 (add-hook 'c-mode-hook
           '(lambda () (if (string-match "/libguestfs\\>"
                               (buffer-file-name))
                           (libguestfs-c-mode))))

=head2 変更のテスト方法

Turn warnings into errors when developing to make warnings hard to ignore:

 ./configure --enable-werror

有用なターゲットは次のとおりです:

=over 4

=item C<make check>

一般的なテスト群を実行します。

This is implemented using the regular automake C<TESTS> target.  See the
automake documentation for details.

=item C<make check-valgrind>

valgrind にあるテスト群のサブセットを実行します。

See L</VALGRIND> below.

=item C<make check-valgrind-local-guests>

ローカルにインストールされた libvirt 仮想マシン (読み込み専用) を使用して、valgrind にあるテスト群のサブセットを実行します。

=item C<make check-direct>

Runs all tests using default appliance back-end.  This only has any effect
if a non-default backend was selected using C<./configure
--with-default-backend=...>

=item C<make check-valgrind-direct>

Run a subset of the test suite under valgrind using the default appliance
back-end.

=item C<make check-uml>

Runs all tests using the User-Mode Linux backend.

As there is no standard location for the User-Mode Linux kernel, you I<have>
to set C<LIBGUESTFS_HV> to point to the kernel image, eg:

 make check-uml LIBGUESTFS_HV=~/d/linux-um/vmlinux

=item C<make check-valgrind-uml>

Runs all tests using the User-Mode Linux backend, under valgrind.

As above, you have to set C<LIBGUESTFS_HV> to point to the kernel.

=item C<make check-with-upstream-qemu>

Runs all tests using a local qemu binary.  It looks for the qemu binary in
QEMUDIR (defaults to F<$HOME/d/qemu>), but you can set this to another
directory on the command line, eg:

 make check-with-upstream-qemu QEMUDIR=/usr/src/qemu

=item C<make check-with-upstream-libvirt>

Runs all tests using a local libvirt.  This only has any effect if the
libvirt backend was selected using C<./configure
--with-default-backend=libvirt>

It looks for libvirt in LIBVIRTDIR (defaults to F<$HOME/d/libvirt>), but you
can set this to another directory on the command line, eg:

 make check-with-upstream-libvirt LIBVIRTDIR=/usr/src/libvirt

=item C<make check-slow>

Runs some slow/long-running tests which are not run by default.

To mark a test as slow/long-running:

=over 4

=item *

Add it to the list of C<TESTS> in the F<Makefile.am>, just like a normal
test.

=item *

Modify the test so it checks if the C<SLOW=1> environment variable is set,
and if I<not> set it skips (ie. returns with exit code 77).  If using
C<$TEST_FUNCTIONS>, you can call the function C<slow_test> for this.

=item *

Add a variable C<SLOW_TESTS> to the F<Makefile.am> listing the slow tests.

=item *

Add a rule to the F<Makefile.am>:

 check-slow:
   $(MAKE) check TESTS="$(SLOW_TESTS)" SLOW=1

=back

=item C<sudo make check-root>

Runs some tests which require root privileges.  These are supposed to be
safe, but take care.  You have to run this as root (eg. using L<sudo(8)>
explicitly).

To mark a test as requiring root:

=over 4

=item *

Add it to the list of C<TESTS> in the F<Makefile.am>, just like a normal
test.

=item *

Modify the test so it checks if euid == 0, and if I<not> set it skips
(ie. returns with exit code 77).  If using C<$TEST_FUNCTIONS>, you can call
the function C<root_test> for this.

=item *

Add a variable C<ROOT_TESTS> to the F<Makefile.am> listing the root tests.

=item *

Add a rule to the F<Makefile.am>:

 check-root:
   $(MAKE) check TESTS="$(ROOT_TESTS)"

=back

=item C<make check-all>

Equivalent to running all C<make check*> rules except C<check-root>.

=item C<make check-release>

Runs a subset of C<make check*> rules that are required to pass before a
tarball can be released.  Currently this is:

=over 4

=item *

check

=item *

check-valgrind

=item *

check-direct

=item *

check-valgrind-direct

=item *

check-slow

=back

=item C<make installcheck>

Run C<make check> on the installed copy of libguestfs.

The version of installed libguestfs being tested, and the version of the
libguestfs source tree must be the same.

Do:

 ./autogen.sh
 make clean ||:
 make
 make installcheck

=back

=head2 VALGRIND

When you do C<make check-valgrind>, it searches for any F<Makefile.am> in
the tree that has a C<check-valgrind:> target and runs it.

Writing the F<Makefile.am> and tests correctly to use valgrind and working
with automake parallel tests is subtle.

If your tests are run via a shell script wrapper, then in the wrapper use:

 $VG virt-foo

and in the F<Makefile.am> use:

 check-valgrind:
     make VG="@VG@" check

However, if your binaries run directly from the C<TESTS> rule, you have to
modify the F<Makefile.am> like this:

 LOG_COMPILER = $(VG)
 
 check-valgrind:
     make VG="@VG@" check

In either case, check that the right program is being tested by examining
the F<tmp/valgrind*> log files carefully.

=head2 SUBMITTING PATCHES

パッチをメーリングリストに提出します: L<http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs> および
L<rjones@redhat.com> (Cc)。

You do not need to subscribe to the mailing list if you don’t want to.
There may be a short delay while your message is moderated.

=head2 DAEMON CUSTOM PRINTF FORMATTERS

In the daemon code we have created custom printf formatters C<%Q> and C<%R>,
which are used to do shell quoting.

=over 4

=item %Q

シンプルなシェルクオート文字列。すべての空白と他のシェル文字がエスケープされます。

=item %R

Same as C<%Q> except the string is treated as a path which is prefixed by
the sysroot.

=back

例:

 asprintf (&cmd, "cat %R", path);

C<cat /sysroot/some\ path\ with\ spaces> を生成します

I<Note:> Do I<not> use these when you are passing parameters to the
C<command{,r,v,rv}()> functions.  These parameters do NOT need to be quoted
because they are not passed via the shell (instead, straight to exec).  You
probably want to use the C<sysroot_path()> function however.

=head2 国際化 (i18n) サポート

We support i18n (gettext anyhow) in the library.

However many messages come from the daemon, and we don’t translate those at
the moment.  One reason is that the appliance generally has all locale files
removed from it, because they take up a lot of space.  So we'd have to readd
some of those, as well as copying our PO files into the appliance.

Debugging messages are never translated, since they are intended for the
programmers.

=head1 MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS

=head2 HOW OCAML PROGRAMS ARE COMPILED AND LINKED

Mostly this section is "how we make automake & ocamlopt work together" since
OCaml programs themselves are easy to compile.

Automake has no native support for OCaml programs, ocamlc nor ocamlopt.
What we do instead is to treat OCaml programs as C programs which happen to
contain these "other objects" (C<"DEPENDENCIES"> in automake-speak) that
happen to be the OCaml objects.  This works because OCaml programs usually
have C files for native bindings etc.

So a typical program is described as just its C sources:

 virt_customize_SOURCES = ... crypt-c.c perl_edit-c.c

For programs that have no explicit C sources, we create an empty F<dummy.c>
file, and list that instead:

 virt_resize_SOURCES = dummy.c

The OCaml objects which contain most of the code are listed as automake
dependencies (other dependencies may also be listed):

 virt_customize_DEPENDENCIES = ... customize_main.cmx

The only other special thing we need to do is to provide a custom link
command.  This is needed because automake won't assemble the ocamlopt
command, the list of objects and the C<-cclib> libraries in the correct
order otherwise.

 virt_customize_LINK = \
     $(top_builddir)/ocaml-link.sh -cclib '-lutils -lgnu' -- ...

The actual rules, which you can examine in F<customize/Makefile.am>, are a
little bit more complicated than this because they have to handle:

=over 4

=item *

Compiling for byte code or native code.

=item *

The pattern rules needed to compile the OCaml sources to objects.

These are now kept in F<subdir-rules.mk> at the top level, which is included
in every subdirectory F<Makefile.am>.

=item *

Adding OCaml sources files to C<EXTRA_DIST>.

Automake isn't aware of the complete list of sources for a binary, so it
will not add them all automatically.

=back

=head1 MAINTAINER TASKS

=head2 MAINTAINER MAKEFILE TARGETS

These C<make> targets probably won’t work and aren't useful unless you are a
libguestfs maintainer.

=head3 make maintainer-commit

This commits everything in the working directory with the commit message
C<Version $(VERSION).>.  You must update F<configure.ac>, clean and rebuild
first.

=head3 make maintainer-tag

This tags the current HEAD commit with the tag C<v$(VERSION)> and one of the
messages:

 Version $(VERSION) stable

 Version $(VERSION) development

(See L<guestfs(3)/LIBGUESTFS VERSION NUMBERS> for the difference between a
stable and development release.)

=head3 make maintainer-check-authors

Check that all authors (found in git commit messages) are included in the
F<generator/authors.ml> file.

=head3 make maintainer-check-extra-dist

This rule must be run after C<make dist> (so there is a tarball in the
working directory).  It compares the contents of the tarball with the
contents of git to ensure that no files have been missed from F<Makefile.am>
C<EXTRA_DIST> rules.
