If the user specifies cgroup or cgroup-full without a specifier (:ro,
:rw or :mixed), this changes the behavior. Previously, these were
simple aliases for the :mixed variants; now they depend on whether the
container also has CAP_SYS_ADMIN; if it does they resolve to the :rw
variants, if it doesn't to the :mixed variants (as before).
If a container has CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges, any filesystem can be
remounted read-write from within, so initially mounting the cgroup
filesystems partially read-only as a default creates a false sense of
security. It is better to default to full read-write mounts to show the
administrator what keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN entails.
If an administrator really wants both CAP_SYS_ADMIN and the :mixed
variant of cgroup or cgroup-full automatic mounts, they can still
specify that explicitly; this commit just changes the default without
specifier.

Currently, setup_caps and dropcaps_except both use the same parsing
logic for parsing capabilities (try to identify by name, but allow
numerical specification). Since this is a common routine, separate it

Ubuntu containers have had trouble with automatic cgroup mounting that
was not read-write (i.e. lxc.mount.auto = cgroup{,-full}:{ro,mixed}) in
containers without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Ubuntu's mountall program reads
/lib/init/fstab, which contains an entry for /sys/fs/cgroup. Since
there is no ro option specified for that filesystem, mountall will try
to remount it readwrite if it is already mounted. Without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, that fails and mountall will interrupt boot and wait for
user input on whether to proceed anyway or to manually fix it,
effectively hanging container bootup.
This patch makes sure that /sys/fs/cgroup is always a readwrite tmpfs,
but that the actual cgroup hierarchy paths (/sys/fs/cgroup/$subsystem)
are readonly if :ro or :mixed is used. This still has the desired
effect within the container (no cgroup escalation possible and programs
get errors if they try to do so anyway), while keeping Ubuntu
containers happy.

/sys/fs/cgroup is just a size-limited tmpfs, and making it ro does
nothing to affect our ability alter mount settings of its subdirs.
OTOH making it ro can upset mountall in the container which tries
to remount it rw, which may be refused.
So just don't do it.

This introduces a new -g/--group argument to filter containers based on
their groups.
This supports the rather obvious: --group blah
Which will only list containers that are in group blah.
It may also be passed multiple times: --group blah --group bleh
Which will list containers that are in either (or both) blah or bleh.
And it also takes: --group blah,bleh --group doh
Which will list containers that are either in BOTH blah and bleh or in doh.

Check for symlinks before attempting create.
When attempting to create the compulsory symlinks in /dev,
check for the existence of the link using stat first before
blindly attempting to create the link.
This works around an apparent quirk in the kernel VFS on read-only
file systems where the returned error code might be EEXIST or EROFS
depending on previous access to the /dev directory and its entries.

Originally we kept snapshots under /var/lib/lxcsnaps. If a
separate btrfs is mounted at /var/lib/lxc, then we can't
make btrfs snapshots under /var/lib/lxcsnaps.
This patch moves the default directory to /var/lib/lxc/lxcsnaps.
If /var/lib/lxcsnaps already exists, then use that. Don't allow
any container to be used with the name 'lxcsnaps'.

If you 'ip netns add x1', this creates /run/netns and /run/netns/x1
as shared mounts. When a container starts, it umounts these after
pivot_root, and the umount is propagated to the host.
Worse, doing mount("", "/", NULL, MS_SLAVE|MS_REC, NULL) does not
suffice to change those, even after binding /proc/mounts onto
/etc/mtab.
So, I give up. Do this manually, walking over /proc/self/mountinfo
and changing the mount propagation on everything marked as shared.
With this patch, lxc-start no longer unmounts /run/netns/* on the
host.

With this change, you can install a container from a mounted .iso, or any
yum repo with the necessary packages. Unlike the --url option, the repo
does not need to be a mirror of public-yum, but the arch and release must
be specified. For example to install OL6.5 from an .iso image:
mount -o loop OracleLinux-R6-U5-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso /mnt
lxc-create -n OL6.5 -t oracle -- --baseurl=file:///mnt -a x86_64 -R 6.5
The template will create two yum .repo files within the container such that
additional packages can be installed from local media, or the container can
be updated from public-yum, whichever is available. Local media must be bind
mounted from the host onto the containers' /mnt for the former .repo to work:
mount --bind /mnt $LXCPATH/OL6.5/rootfs/mnt
