Libvirt has a test program "qemuhotplugtest".

This test links to a shared library  libqemutestdriver.so which contains
a function "qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon".

qemuhotplugtest test does not call "qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon"
directly. It invokes "qemuDomainAttachDeviceDiskLive" which eventually
ends up calling "qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon" some way further
down the stack.


Then there is a shared library libqemuhotplugmock.so which contains a
replacement "qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon" to avoid us spawning
external programs.

When it starts "qemuhotplugtest" will set LD_PRELOAD=libqemuhotplugmock.so
and then execve() itself.

So when the test runs, the "qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon" impl from
the mock library is supposed to be used.

If I run with LD_DEBUG=all on a build /without/ LTO, I can see this lookup
and override happening:

    381018:	symbol=qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon;  lookup in file=/home/berrange/src/fedora/libvirt/libvirt-6.5.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/tests/.libs/lt-qemuhotplugtest [0]

If I run LD_DEBUG=all on a build /with/ LTO, there are no symbol lookups
at all for qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon. It looks very much like the
call was resolved and bound at link time when built with LTO.

Daniel
