And place them in /qubes-service/ QubesDB directory. This allows
extensions to easily store some data not exposed to VM, but also have
control what VM will see. And at the same time, it make it compatible
with existing services framework
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1637
Setting VMProperty to None VM should be encoded as '' value (according
to VMProperty._none_value). But value validation rejected this value.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
Implement this in two parts:
1. Permissions checks, getting a path from appropriate storage pool
2. Actual data import
The first part is done by qubesd in a standard way, but then, instead of
accepting all the data (which may be several GB), return a path to which
a shell script (in practice: `dd` command) will write the data.
Then the script call back to qubesd again to report success/failure and
qubesd response from that call is actually returned to the user.
This way we do not pass all the data through qubesd, but still can
control the process from there in a meaningful way. Note that the last
part (second call to qubesd) may perform all kind of verification (like
a signature check on the data, or so) and can also prevent VM from
starting (hooking also domain-pre-start event) from not verified image.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
Allow importing not only from another volume, but also raw data. In
practice, for all currently implemented storage pools, this is the same
as Pool.export, because path returned there is read-write. But lets not
abuse this fact, some future implementation may need different methods.

Remove debug prints, log full traceback (of handled exception) only when
debug mode enabled (--debug, introduce in this commit too).
--debug option also enables sending tracebacks to the API clients.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
Accessing non-existing property is a common action (for example
hasattr() do try to access the property). So, introduce specific
exception, inheriting from AttributeError. It will behave very similar
to standard (non-Admin-API) property access.
This exception is reported to the Admin API user, so it will be possible
to distinguish between non-existing property and access denied. But it
isn't any significant information leak, as list of valid properties is
publicly available in the source code.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
Install files in /etc/qubes-rpc for all methods defined in API
documentation, even if not yet implemented (qubesd will handle it
raising appropriate exception).
Use minimal program written in C (qubesd-query-fast), instead of
qubesd-query in python for performance reasons:
- a single qubesd-query run: ~300ms
- equivalent in shell (echo | nc -U): ~40ms
- qubesd-query-fast: ~20ms
Many tools makes multiple API calls, so performance here do matter. For
example qvm-ls (from VM) currently takes about 60s on a system with 24
VMs.
Also make use of `$include:` directive in policy file, to make it easier
defining a VM with full Admin API access.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
Use '<option name="option_name">option_value</option>' instead of
'<options option_name="option_value"/>'. It's more consistent with the
rest of qubes.xml - have one thing per element.
Also, add options deserialization test.
When libvirt domain is not defined, it isn't running for sure.
This commit fixes the case when vm.is_running() appears anywhere in the
code used during libvirt xml building. In this case, it's mostly about
PCI device description for libvirt.
