These patches add optional systemd socket activation support to the QEMU guest
agent.  The listen socket is created by systemd.  qemu-ga is only launched when
the first client connects and the listen fd is passed in.  The guest agent
detects socket activation automatically on startup.  There are no new
command-line options.

I wrote this code to test systemd AF_VSOCK socket activation but it also works
with AF_UNIX.

libsystemd provides APIs for daemons that wish to integrate socket
activation and other systemd-related functionality.  This will be used
as an optional dependency by qemu-guest-agent.

In the future it could also be used for systemd logging or sd_notify(3)
service startup notification.

AF_UNIX and AF_VSOCK listen sockets can be passed in by systemd on
startup.  This allows systemd to manage the listen socket until the
first client connects and between restarts.  Advantages of socket
activation are that parallel startup of network services becomes
possible and that unused daemons do not consume memory.

The key to achieving this is the sd_listen_fds(3) API provided by
libsystemd.  It returns zero if there are no passed listen fds.  When
passed fds are present they override the qga method/path options.

Test as follows:

  $ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/qga.service
  [Unit]
  Description=qga

  [Service]
  WorkingDirectory=/tmp
  ExecStart=/path/to/qemu-ga --logfile=/tmp/qga.log --pidfile=/tmp/qga.pid --statedir=/tmp

  $ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/qga.socket
  [Socket]
  ListenStream=/tmp/qga.sock

  [Install]
  WantedBy=default.target

  $ systemctl --user daemon-reload
  $ systemctl --user start qga.socket
  $ nc -U /tmp/qga.sock

Any reason why you're going to the trouble of compiling a
program here ? The key benefit of pkg-config is that you
don't need to do things like that to test for existance
of the library - just trust the result of pkg-config check.

FWIW, it is easy to support socket activation without even
using libsystemd. The systemd activation "protocol" is
trivial - it merely sets "LISTEN_FDS" env variable to the
number of FDs it has been passed down, and they are numbered
from stderr fileno + 1.

Regards,
Daniel

After looking into it I found that LISTEN_FDS is considered stable and
"reimplementable independently":
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/InterfacePortabilityAndStabilityChart/

I'll resend this patch without the libsystemd dependency.

I guess that will make packagers happy who wish to provide packages that
work both with and without systemd installed.
