This adds a basic python binding done in C and a python overlay to
extend some features and provide a user-friendlier API.
This python API only supports python 3.x and was tested with >= 3.2.
It's disabled by default in configure and can be turned on by using
--enable-python.
A basic example of the API can be found in src/python-lxc/test.py.
More documentation and examples will be added soon.
If the container doesn't reach RUNNING state in 5 seconds, a failure will be
returned to the user.

This turns liblxc into a public library implementing a container structure.
The container structure is meant to cover most LXC commands and can easily be
used to write bindings in other programming languages.
More information on the new functions can be found in src/lxc/lxccontainer.h
Test programs using the API can also be found in src/tests/

When attaching to only some namespaces of the container but not the mount
namespace, the contents of /sys and /proc of the host system do not properly
reflect the context of the container's pid and/or network namespaces, and
possibly others.
The introduced -R option adds the possibility to additionally unshare the
mount namespace (when it is not being attached) and remount /sys and /proc
in order for those filesystems to properly reflect the container's context
even when only attaching to some of the namespaces.

This patch allows the user to select any list of namespaces (network, pid,
mount, uts, ipc, user) that lxc-attach should use when attaching to the
container; all other namespaces will not be attached to.
This allows the user to for example attach to just the network namespace and
use the host's (and not the container's) network tools to reconfigure the
network of the container.

Use the command interface to contact lxc-start to receive the set of
flags passed to clone() when starting the container. This allows lxc-attach

those to attach to.

With the introduction of lxc-attach's functionality to attach to cgroups,
the setns() calls were put in the child process after the fork() and not the
parent process before the fork() so the parent process remained outside the
namespaces and could add the child to the correct cgroup.
Unfortunately, the pid namespace really affects only children of the current
process and not the process itself, which has several drawbacks: The
attached program does not have a pid inside the container and the context
that is used when remounting /proc from that process is wrong. Thus, the
previous logic of first setting the namespaces and then forking so the child
process (which then exec()s to the desired program) is a real member of the
container.
However, inside the container, there is no guarantee that the cgroup
filesystem is still be mounted and that we are allowed to write to it (which
is why the setns() was moved in the first place).
To work around both problems, we separate the cgroup attach functionality
into two parts: Preparing the attach process, which just opens the tasks
files of all cgroups and keeps the file descriptors open and the writing to
those fds part. This allows us to open all the tasks files in lxc_attach,
then call setns(), then fork, in the child process close them completely and
in the parent process just write the pid of the child process to all those
fds.

Hi,
This patch is so far just a proof of concept. The libseccomp api will be
changing soon so it probably wouldn't be worth pulling this until it is
updated for the new API.
This patch introduces support for seccomp to lxc. Seccomp lets a program
restrict its own (and its children's) future access to system calls. It
uses a simple whitelist system call policy file. It would probably be
better to switch to something more symbolic (i.e specifying 'open' rather
than the syscall #, especially given container arch flexibility).
I just wanted to get this out there as a first step. You can also get
source for an ubuntu package based on this patch at
https://code.launchpad.net/~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/quantal/lxc/lxc-seccomp

Commit 21e487f2 introduced the use of getopt, but getopt will fail when
it sees arguments meant for netstat that are not in [short|long]options.
There should not be any ambiguity about arguments with the same letter:
those to the left of the -- are destined for lxc-netstat and those to
the right for the real netstat, which the original code handles by
shifting out all arguments it recognizes before the -- is hit.

lxc-ps is supposed to pass arguments after the -- on to ps. The problem is
that i is expanded once from $@ and the loop will iterate over all the
arguments that were in $@ at the time of expansion. Inside the loop, there
are shifts (in the name case for example) that are trying to remove more
than a single argument. This changes fixes that and makes lxc-ps work as
documented.

Fix determination of $oldroot from the config file. The old code had the '

Set $rootfs based on $oldroot instead of forcing it to be in
$lxc_path/$lxc_new/rootfs. This allows for btrfs snapshot to be made even if
$lxc_path isn't on the same filesystem. If $oldroot isn't a subvolume,

These variables are not expanded correctly in doc/lxc-create.sgml.in
and a workaround is in place to ensure ${localstatedir}, and ${datadir}

to ensure ${datadir} is set in src/lxc/lxc-create.in, nor is
${localstatedir} set in templates/lxc-altlinux.in so I think that these
are currently broken.
Using AS_AC_EXPAND instead of AC_SUBST fixes these problems and removes
the need for the workarounds. In addition the lxc-start-ephemeral.in
script can be autoconf'ed instead of sed'ed by the makefile.
