similar to: [PATCH 0/3] Various fixes to the Ruby bindings (RHBZ#667610).

This short patch series fixes various problems with the Java bindings, including enabling support for functions that return hash tables (returned as Map<String,String>). With this, the Java bindings are improved although still not perfect. The last remaining issue is to implement support for functions that take optional arguments.

We observed a while back that the Perl-based libguestfs tools were not being localized. In fact I've tracked this problem down to a regression some time ago and some subsequent changes we made. These two patches fix everything. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many

1/8 generator: Rearrange argt logically (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). 2/8 generator: Optional arguments, add-drive-opts (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). These two previously posted. 3/8 fish: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). Updates to guestfish to add the --format option and to make -d copy the format from libvirt. 4/8 fuse: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).

Although support for write(2) syscall is not yet implemented, we might consider cautiously merging this one. In read-only mode it seems to work fine and is stable under load.

As outlined here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/msg00171.html These patches fix some of the simpler things. Some of the things (the missing headers) are genuine bugs. Note in order to cross-compile at all you have to comment out the section in the daemon/configure.ac where it detects custom format specifiers. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

The two patches attached allow 9p filesystems to be mounted and listed. Note that I did *not* test the new list-9p function, because I don't have a guest with a new enough kernel handy. 9p filesystems are not included in the output of list-filesystems. Because a lot of existing code feeds the output of list-filesystems directly into the input of mount-options, mount-ro or (even worse) plain

Problems were found using valgrind. With these 5 patches, hivex can process registry files without provoking any valgrind warnings.

Note this bug was very confusing because glob works when you use the -x (trace) option, so when you try to trace the commands being run the bug "disappears".

Couple of notes: (1) You may need to 'make clean' after applying this patch. There is some missing dep so it seems the appliance isn't fully rebuilt. (2) [Comment mainly directed to Matt] This is not a candidate to be automatically added to the stable 1.2 branch. It's far too large of a change for a stable release. Since this change may be required for V2V, please clone
