perl plugin: Added basic multi-threading support.
This patch maps each C thread, which accesses the perl plugin, to an
interpreter based Perl thread. The implementation has been inspired by Perl's
ithreads introduced in version 5.6.0 and should be compatible (as in: can be
used side-by-side) with it. You can use threads::shared to share data
structures between threads of either implementation.

perl plugin: Use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT.
All Perl_* API functions have been replaced with their unprefixed
counterparts. The currently used Perl interpreter is passed along to each
function requiring access to it. This removes the need to access the global
variable keeping the pointer to the Perl interpreter in most cases but the
entry points into the plugin (i.e. the callbacks registered with collectd).
This prepares the plugin to efficiently support multiple interpreters.

To stay backwards compatible the option is disabled by default, but the sample

uuid plugin: Add a plugin which sets the hostname to an UUID.
Florian Forster wrote:
> Just out of curiosity: Why don't hostnames work for you?
For guests there's the question of what we put in the hostname field. The
previous plugin (libvirtstats) puts the guest's name in this field, but there
are some problems with this:
physicalserver1 <--- (hostname of physical server)
|
\--- database <--- (name of guest)
\--- web
physicalserver2
|
\--- database
\--- web
coldbackupserver
|
(no guests)
Guest names aren't really unique. Different physical servers may have guests
with overlapping names as in the example above. Also guest names aren't fixed.
Xen in particular renames guests at will. For example if a guest is about to
migrate then Xen renames the guest as 'migrating-foo' and if the guest is about
to shutdown Xen renames it as 'Zombie-foo'. The administrator of the physical
server can also rename guests.
While you're migrating you'll have an intermediate situation like this:
physicalserver1
|
\--- migrating-database
\--- migrating-web |
| migration
coldbackupserver |
| V
\--- database
\--- web
During live migrations the old instance ('migrating-foo') is still running.
The UUID is unique across physical servers, and is copied by migration and
preserved across shutdowns so if you care about which guest your stats "really"
came from then only the UUID tells you this.
Guests also have a hostname which is separate from the guest's name (the
guest's name is stored in the hypervisor, the hostname is stored inside the
guest's kernel). However it's not feasible to access the guest's hostname from
the hypervisor since this would involve some sort of snooping into the guest
kernel. The guest might be running Windows or FreeBSD etc. The only feasible
way to get this is to run an instance of collectd inside each guest, but then
the uuid plugin will also work in this scenario and can get the UUID since it
is exposed inside the guest either through an emulated BIOS or in
/sys/hypervisor/uuid.

src/utils_cache.[ch]: Added a global cache for all values that are dispatched.
The cache translates counter values to gauge values using the last counter
value available. This can then be used to check against threshold values, as
we'll need to do for monitoring functionality.
Right now the cache doesn't do much: It sits there and caches the values, but
is not yet ever queried. The already implemented (but so far unused) function
`uc_get_rate' returns an array of gauge_t values.
The longterm goal is to have the network, rrdtool and unixsock plugins use this
cache, too. This will require some `plugin specific' data with appropriate
control structures and, which is likely the hardest part, some clever locking
for all that.
