This feature allows using templates and ISOs avoiding secondary storage as intermediate cache on KVM. The virtual machine deployment process is enhanced to supported bypassed registered templates and ISOs, delegating the work of downloading them to primary storage to the KVM agent instead of the SSVM agent.
Template and ISO registration:
- When hypervisor is KVM, a checkbox is displayed with 'Direct Download' label.
- API methods registerTemplate and registerISO are both extended with this new parameter directdownload.
- On template or ISO registration, no download job is sent to SSVM agent, CloudStack would only persist an entry on template_store_ref indicating that template or ISO has been marked as 'Direct Download' (bypassing Secondary Storage). These entries are persisted as:
template_id = Template or ISO id on vm_template table
store_id NULL
download_state = BYPASSED
state = Ready
(Note: these entries allow users to deploy virtual machine from registered templates or ISOs)
- An URL validation command is sent to a random KVM host to check if template/ISO location can be reached. Metalink are also supported by this feature. In case of a metalink, it is fetched and URL check is performed on each of its URLs.
- Checksum should be provided as indicated on #2246: {ALGORITHM}CHKSUMHASH
- After template or ISO is registered, it would be displayed in the UI
Virtual machine deployment:
When a 'Direct Download' template is selected for deployment, CloudStack would delegate template downloading to destination storage pool via destination host by a new pluggable download manager.
Download manager would handle template downloading depending on URL protocol. In case of HTTP, request headers can be set by the user via vm_template_details. Those details should be persisted as:
Key: HTTP_HEADER
Value: HEADERNAME:HEADERVALUE
In case of HTTPS, a new API method is added uploadTemplateDirectDownloadCertificate to allow user importing a client certificate into all KVM hosts' keystore before deployment.
After template or ISO is downloaded to primary storage, usual entry would be persisted on template_spool_ref indicating the mapping between template/ISO and storage pool.
* Cleanup and Improve NetUtils
This class had many unused methods, inconsistent names and redundant code.
This commit cleans up code, renames a few methods and constants.
The global/account setting 'api.allowed.source.cidr.list' is set
to 0.0.0.0/0,::/0 by default preserve the current behavior and thus
allow API calls for accounts from all IPv4 and IPv6 subnets.
Users can set it to a comma-separated list of IPv4/IPv6 subnets to
restrict API calls for Admin accounts to certain parts of their network(s).
This is to improve Security. Should an attacker steal the Access/Secret key
of an account he/she still needs to be in a subnet from where accounts are
allowed to perform API calls.
This is a good security measure for APIs which are connected to the public internet.

Commit enables a new feature for KVM hypervisor which purpose is to increase virtually amount of RAM available beyond the actual limit.
There is a new parameter in agent.properties: host.overcommit.mem.mb which enables adding specified amount of RAM to actually available. It is necessary to utilize KSM and ZSwap features which extend RAM with deduplication and compression.
The watchdog timer adds functionality where the Hypervisor can detect if an
instance has crashed or stopped functioning.

When the Instance has the 'watchdog' daemon running it will send heartbeats
to the /dev/watchdog device.
If these heartbeats are no longer received by the HV it will reset the Instance.
If the Instance never sends the heartbeats the HV does not take action. It only
takes action if it stops sending heartbeats.
This is supported since Libvirt 0.7.3 and can be defined in the XML format as
described in the docs: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsWatchdog
To the 'devices' section this will be added:
In the agent.properties the action to be taken can be defined:
vm.watchdog.action=reset
The same goes for the model. The Intel i6300esb is however the most commonly used.

This introduces a new certificate authority framework that allows
pluggable CA provider implementations to handle certificate operations
around issuance, revocation and propagation. The framework injects
itself to `NioServer` to handle agent connections securely. The
framework adds assumptions in `NioClient` that a keystore if available
with known name `cloud.jks` will be used for SSL negotiations and
handshake.
This includes a default 'root' CA provider plugin which creates its own
self-signed root certificate authority on first run and uses it for
issuance and provisioning of certificate to CloudStack agents such as
the KVM, CPVM and SSVM agents and also for the management server for
peer clustering.
Additional changes and notes:
- Comma separate list of management server IPs can be set to the 'host'
global setting. Newly provisioned agents (KVM/CPVM/SSVM etc) will get
radomized comma separated list to which they will attempt connection
or reconnection in provided order. This removes need of a TCP LB on
port 8250 (default) of the management server(s).
- All fresh deployment will enforce two-way SSL authentication where
connecting agents will be required to present certificates issued
by the 'root' CA plugin.
- Existing environment on upgrade will continue to use one-way SSL
authentication and connecting agents will not be required to present
certificates.
- A script `keystore-setup` is responsible for initial keystore setup
and CSR generation on the agent/hosts.
- A script `keystore-cert-import` is responsible for import provided
certificate payload to the java keystore file.
- Agent security (keystore, certificates etc) are setup initially using
SSH, and later provisioning is handled via an existing agent connection
using command-answers. The supported clients and agents are limited to
CPVM, SSVM, and KVM agents, and clustered management server (peering).
- Certificate revocation does not revoke an existing agent-mgmt server
connection, however rejects a revoked certificate used during SSL
handshake.
- Older `cloudstackmanagement.keystore` is deprecated and will no longer
be used by mgmt server(s) for SSL negotiations and handshake. New
keystores will be named `cloud.jks`, any additional SSL certificates
should not be imported in it for use with tomcat etc. The `cloud.jks`
keystore is stricly used for agent-server communications.
- Management server keystore are validated and renewed on start up only,
the validity of them are same as the CA certificates.
New APIs:
- listCaProviders: lists all available CA provider plugins
- listCaCertificate: lists the CA certificate(s)
- issueCertificate: issues X509 client certificate with/without a CSR
- provisionCertificate: provisions certificate to a host
- revokeCertificate: revokes a client certificate using its serial
Global settings for the CA framework:
- ca.framework.provider.plugin: The configured CA provider plugin
- ca.framework.cert.keysize: The key size for certificate generation
- ca.framework.cert.signature.algorithm: The certificate signature algorithm
- ca.framework.cert.validity.period: Certificate validity in days
- ca.framework.cert.automatic.renewal: Certificate auto-renewal setting
- ca.framework.background.task.delay: CA background task delay/interval
- ca.framework.cert.expiry.alert.period: Days to check and alert expiring certificates
Global settings for the default 'root' CA provider:
- ca.plugin.root.private.key: (hidden/encrypted) CA private key
- ca.plugin.root.public.key: (hidden/encrypted) CA public key
- ca.plugin.root.ca.certificate: (hidden/encrypted) CA certificate
- ca.plugin.root.issuer.dn: The CA issue distinguished name
- ca.plugin.root.auth.strictness: Are clients required to present certificates
- ca.plugin.root.allow.expired.cert: Are clients with expired certificates allowed

This commit adds a additional VirtIO channel with the name
'org.qemu.guest_agent.0' to all Instances.
With the Qemu Guest Agent the Hypervisor gains more control over the Instance if
these tools are present inside the Instance, for example:
* Power control
* Flushing filesystems
* Fetching Network information
In the future this should allow safer snapshots on KVM since we can instruct the
Instance to flush the filesystems prior to snapshotting the disk.
More information: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/QAPI/GuestAgent
Keep in mind that on Ubuntu AppArmor still needs to be disabled since the default
AppArmor profile doesn't allow libvirt to write into /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
This commit does not add any communication methods through API-calls, it merely
adds the channel to the Instances and installs the Guest Agent in the SSVMs.
With the addition of the Qemu Guest Agent channel a second channel appears in /dev
on a SSVM as a VirtIO port.
The order in which the ports are defined in the XML matters for the naming inside
the SSVM VM and by not relying on /dev/vportXX but looking for a static name the
SSVM still boots properly if the order in the XML definition is changed.
A SSVM with both ports attached will have something like this:
root@v-215-VM:~# ls -l /dev/virtio-ports
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 13 21:41 org.qemu.guest_agent.0 -> ../vport0p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 13 21:41 v-215-VM.vport -> ../vport0p1
root@v-215-VM:~# ls -l /dev/vport*
crw------- 1 root root 251, 1 May 13 21:41 /dev/vport0p1
crw------- 1 root root 251, 2 May 13 21:41 /dev/vport0p2
root@v-215-VM:~#
In this case the SSVM port points to /dev/vport0p1, but if the order in the XML
is different it might point to /dev/vport0p2
By looking for a portname with a pre-defined pattern in /dev/virtio-ports we
do not rely on the order in the XML definition.

By adding a Random Number Generator device to Instances we can prevent
entropy starvation inside guest.
The default source is /dev/random on the host, but this can be configured
to another source when present, for example a hardware RNG.
When enabled it will add the following to the Instance's XML definition:
<rng model='virtio'>
<rate period='1000' bytes='2048' />
<backend model='random'>/dev/random</backend>
</rng>
If the Instance has the proper support, which most modern distributions have,
it will have a /dev/hwrng device which it can use for gathering entropy.

agent: Enable IPv6 connectivity for KVM Agent to Management ServerIPv4 is still preferred, so if the hostname of the Management Server
returns a A and AAAA-record the Agent will still connect to the
server over IPv4.
This situation will however allow to use a hostname which only has
a AAAA-record. In that case the Agent will connect to the Management
Server over IPv6.

The S3 implementation is far from finished, this commit focusses on the bases.
- Upgrade AWS SDK to latest version.
- Rewrite S3 Template downloader.
- Rewrite S3Utils utility class.
- Improve addImageStoreS3 API command.
- Split various classes for convenience.
- Various minor improvements and code optimalisations.
A side effect of the new AWS SDK is that it, by default, uses the V4 signature. Therefore I added an option to specify the Signer, so it stays compatible with previous versions.
