logging: Lower logging level for coverage messages due to slow poll loops
By default, many OVS processes keep track of their time through a poll
loop. If it takes an unusually long time (measured as some distance
from the mean), the processes will log stats it has been keeping about
coverage. It was doing this at level WARN.
On Xen systems, syslog messages written at level INFO and higher are
written to /var/log/messages synchronously. This would mean that there
would be dire messages that it took a few dozen milliseconds to go
through the loop, meanwhile, it would take up to 6(!) seconds writing
those. Meanwhile, the process would do no other processing, which could
be quite serious in the case of a process such as ovs-vswitchd.
This problem was somewhat masked because the time used by this logging
was not used in the calculations for determining how long it was taking
to get through the loop.

INFO. On Xen systems, it raises the default level at which messages are

omitted. For consistency, this commit forces the PID to be in the core

There is no value in sending out NetFlow messages when the byte counter

vswitchd: Mirror nothing, not everything, if mirror ports don't exist.
If all of the ports specified as mirror selection criteria actually do not
exist, then until now the bridge would mirror all incoming packets (on
specified VLAN(s), if any). This matches the behavior that occurs if no
mirror selection ports were specified at all, and so it makes a certain
amount of logical sense.
But it is far more likely that the user simply misspelled a port name, or
specified the name of a port that does not always exist. In fact we have
seen this behavior in practice when the controller has not caught up to
the switch's current configuration. So this commit changes the bridge to
instead disable a mirror if ports are specified and none of those ports
exist.

xenserver: Fix "brctl show" compatibility by introducing "brctl" wrapper.
Bug NIC-19, which reported that "brctl show" did not format its output in
the way expected by Citrix QA scripts, was believed fixed by commit
35c979bff4 "vswitchd: Support creating fake bond device interfaces."
Unfortunately, this commit was not tested on a XenServer before it was
committed. Due to differences in the actual test environment and the
XenServer environment, which have different versions of the bridge-utils
package that contains brctl, that commit did not fix the problem observed
by Citrix QA. In particular, the XenServer brctl uses sysfs to obtain
the information displayed by "brctl show", but the previous commit only
fixed up the information output by the bridge ioctls.
The natural way to fix this problem would be to fix up the sysfs support
as well. I started out along that path, but became bogged down in all
the details of the kernel sysfs.
This commit takes an alternate approach, by introducing a wrapper around
the system brctl binary that implements "brctl show" itself and delegates
all other functionality to the original binary (in a different location).
This will not fix tools that do not call into brctl, but to the best of
my knowledge there are no such tools used in the Citrix QA process.
Thanks to Justin and Reid for much feedback.

ovs-pki: Add uniqueness to CA certs
When ovs-pki is used for CA cert generation, it generates certificates
that are identical except for the public key. If multiple controllers are
their own certificate authorities, the switch will receive multiple CA
certs that are identical other than their key. Unfortunately, OpenSSL
cannot distinguish between them. This is an excerpt of the
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations function used by vconn-ssl:
Certificate matching is done based on the subject name, the key
identifier (if present), and the serial number as taken from the
certificate to be verified. If these data do not match, the next
certificate will be tried. If a first certificate matching the
parameters is found, the verification process will be performed; no
other certificates for the same parameters will be searched in case of
failure.
To work around this, we add a bit of uniqueness to each certificate. In
this commit, we add the generation time to the subject name. Please note
that the CN field is limited to 64 bytes, so a bit of name compression
needed to take place in order to fit the time.
