In pasta mode, where addressing permits we "splice" connections, forwarding
directly from host socket to guest/container socket without any L2 or L3
processing. This gives us a very large performance improvement when it's
possible.
Since the traffic is from a local socket within the guest, it will go over
the guest's 'lo' interface, and accordingly we set the guest side address
to be the loopback address. However this has a surprising side effect:
sometimes guests will run services that are only supposed to be used within
the guest and are therefore bound to only 127.0.0.1 and/or ::1. pasta's
forwarding exposes those services to the host, which isn't generally what
we want.
Correct this by instead forwarding inbound "splice" flows to the guest's
external address.

In a couple of recent reports, we've seen that it can be useful for pasta
to forward ports from addresses which are not currently configured on the
host, but might be in future. That can be done with the sysctl
net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind, but that does require CAP_NET_ADMIN to set in
the first place. We can allow the same thing on a per-socket basis with
the IP_FREEBIND (or IPV6_FREEBIND) socket option.
Add a --freebind command line argument to enable this socket option on
all listening sockets.

The guest is usually assigned one of the host's IP addresses. That means
it can't access the host itself via its usual address. The
--map-host-loopback option (enabled by default with the gateway address)
allows the guest to contact the host. However, connections forwarded this
way appear on the host to have originated from the loopback interface,
which isn't always desirable.
Add a new --map-guest-addr option, which acts similarly but forwarded
connections will go to the host's external address, instead of loopback.
If '-a' is used, so the guest's address is not the same as the host's, this
will instead forward to whatever host-visible site is shadowed by the
guest's assigned address.

The @gw fields in the ip4_ctx and ip6_ctx give the (host's) default
gateway. We use this for two quite distinct things: advertising the
gateway that the guest should use (via DHCP, NDP and/or --config-net)
and for a limited form of NAT. So that the guest can access services
on the host, we map the gateway address within the guest to the
loopback address on the host.
Using the gateway address for this isn't necessarily the best choice
for this purpose, certainly not for all circumstances. So, start off
by splitting the notion of these into two different values: @guest_gw
which is the gateway address the guest should use and @nat_host_loopback,
which is the guest visible address to remap to the host's loopback.
Usually nat_host_loopback will have the same value as guest_gw. However
when --no-map-gw is specified we leave them unspecified instead. This
means when we use nat_host_loopback, we don't need to separately check
c->no_map_gw to see if it's relevant.

When sending frames to the guest over the tap link, we need a source MAC
address. Currently we take that from the MAC address of the main interface
on the host, but that doesn't actually make much sense:
* We can't preserve the real MAC address of packets from anywhere
external so there's no transparency case here
* In fact, it's confusingly different from how we handle IP addresses:
whereas we give the guest the same IP as the host, we're making the
host's MAC the one MAC that the guest *can't* use for itself.
* We already need a fallback case if the host doesn't have an Ethernet
like MAC (e.g. if it's connected via a point to point interface, such
as a wireguard VPN).
Change to just just use an arbitrary fixed MAC address - I've picked
9a:55:9a:55:9a:55. It's simpler and has the small advantage of making
the fact that passt/pasta is in use typically obvious from guest side
packet dumps. This can still, of course, be overridden with the -M option.

ip4.gw conflates 3 conceptually different things, which (for now) have the
same value:
1. The router/gateway address as seen by the guest
2. An address to NAT to the host with --no-map-gw isn't specified
3. An address to use as source when nothing else makes sense
Case 3 occurs in two situations:
a) for our DHCP responses - since they come from passt internally there's
no naturally meaningful address for them to come from
b) for forwarded connections coming from an address that isn't guest
accessible (localhost or the guest's own address).
(b) occurs even with --no-map-gw, and the expected behaviour of forwarding
local connections requires it.
For IPv6 role (3) is now taken by ip6.our_tap_ll (which usually has the
same value as ip6.gw). For future flexibility we may want to make this
"address of last resort" different from the gateway address, so split them
logically for IPv4 as well.
Specifically, add a new ip4.our_tap_addr field for the address with this
role, and initialise it to ip4.gw for now. Unlike IPv6 where we can always
get a link-local address, we might not be able to get a (non 0.0.0.0)
address here (e.g. if the host is disconnected or only has a point to point
link with no gateway address). In that case we have to disable forwarding
of inbound connections with guest-inaccessible source addresses.

That's because, currently, any -g option implies --no-copy-routes

Because the Unix socket to qemu is a stream socket, we have no guarantee
of where the boundaries between recv() calls will lie. Typically they
will lie on frame boundaries, because that's how qemu will send then, but
we can't rely on it.
Currently we handle this case by detecting when we have received a partial
frame and performing a blocking recv() to get the remainder, and only then
processing the frames. Change it so instead we save the partial frame
persistently and include it as the first thing processed next time we
receive data from the socket. This handles a number of (unlikely) cases
which previously would not be dealt with correctly:
* If qemu sent a partial frame then waited some time before sending the
remainder, previously we could block here for an unacceptably long time
* If qemu sent a tiny partial frame (< 4 bytes) we'd leave the loop without
doing the partial frame handling, which would put us out of sync with
the stream from qemu
* If a the blocking recv() only received some of the remainder of the
frame, not all of it, we'd return leaving us out of sync with the
stream again
Caveat: This could memmove() a moderate amount of data (ETH_MAX_MTU). This
is probably acceptable because it's an unlikely case in practice. If
necessary we could mitigate this by using a true ring buffer.

Handling of each protocol needs some degree of tracking of the
addresses and ports at the end of each connection or flow. Sometimes
that's explicit (as in the guest visible addresses for TCP
connections), sometimes implicit (the bound and connected addresses of
sockets).
To allow more consistent handling across protocols we want to
uniformly track the address and port at each end of the connection.
Furthermore, because we allow port remapping, and we sometimes need to
apply NAT, the addresses and ports can be different as seen by the
guest/namespace and as by the host.
Introduce 'struct flowside' to keep track of address and port
information related to one side of a flow. Store two of these in the
common fields of a flow to track that information for both sides.
For now we only populate the initiating side, requiring that
information be completed when a flows enter INI. Later patches will
populate the target side.
For now this leaves some information redundantly recorded in both generic
and type specific fields. We'll fix that in later patches.

The original behaviour of printing messages to standard error by
default when running from a non-interactive terminal was introduced
because the first KubeVirt integration draft used to start passt in
foreground and get messages via standard error.
For development purposes, the system logger was more convenient at
that point, and passt was running from interactive terminals only if
not started by the KubeVirt integration.
This behaviour was introduced by 84a62b79a2 ("passt: Also log to
stderr, don't fork to background if not interactive").
Later, I added command-line options in 1e49d194d0 ("passt, pasta:
Introduce command-line options and port re-mapping") and accidentally
reversed this condition, which wasn't a problem as --stderr could
force printing to standard error anyway (and it was used by KubeVirt).
Nowadays, the KubeVirt integration uses a log file (requested via
libvirt configuration), and the same applies for Podman if one
actually needs to look at runtime logs. There are no use cases left,
as far as I know, where passt runs in foreground in non-interactive
terminals.
Seize the chance to reintroduce some sanity here. If we fork to
background, standard error is closed, so --stderr is useless in that
case.
If we run in foreground, there's no harm in printing messages to
standard error, and that accidentally became the default behaviour
anyway, so --stderr is not needed in that case.
It would be needed for non-interactive terminals, but there are no
use cases, and if there were, let's log to standard error anyway:
the user can always redirect standard error to /dev/null if needed.
Before we're up and running, we need to print to standard error anyway
if something happens, otherwise we can't report failure to start in
any kind of usage, stand-alone or in integrations.
So, make --stderr do nothing, and deprecate it.
While at it, drop a left-over comment about --foreground being the
default only for interactive terminals, because it's not the case
anymore.

Currently TCP uses the 'flow' epoll_ref field for both connected
sockets and timers, which consists of just the index of the relevant
flow (connection).
This is just fine for timers, for while it obviously works, it's
subtly incomplete for sockets on spliced connections. In that case we
want to know which side of the connection the event is occurring on as
well as which connection. At present, we deduce that information by
looking at the actual fd, and comparing it to the fds of the sockets
on each side.
When we use the flow table for more things, we expect more cases where
something will need to know a specific side of a specific flow for an
event, but nothing more.
Therefore add a new 'flowside' epoll_ref field, with exactly that
information. We use it for TCP connected sockets. This allows us to
directly know the side for spliced connections. For "tap"
connections, it's pretty meaningless, since the side is always the
socket side. It still makes logical sense though, and it may become

Use the newly-introduced NL_DUP mode for nl_route() to copy all the
routes associated to the template interface in the outer namespace,
unless --no-copy-routes (also implied by -g) is given.
This option is introduced as deprecated right away: it's not expected
to be of any use, but it's helpful to keep it around for a while to
debug any suspected issue with this change.
Otherwise, we can't use default gateways which are not, address-wise,
on the same subnet as the container, as reported by Callum.

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.
Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL
wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt
codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.

While building against musl, gcc informs us that 'stderr' is a
protected keyword. This probably comes from a #define stderr (stderr)
in musl's stdio.h, to avoid a clash with extern FILE *const stderr,
but I didn't really track it down. Just rename it to force_stderr, it
makes more sense.

I didn't notice earlier: libslirp (and slirp4netns) supports binding
outbound sockets to specific IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, to force the
source addresse selection. If we want to claim feature parity, we
should implement that as well.
Further, Podman supports specifying outbound interfaces as well, but
this is simply done by resolving the primary address for an interface
when the network back-end is started. However, since kernel version
5.7, commit c427bfec18f2 ("net: core: enable SO_BINDTODEVICE for
non-root users"), we can actually bind to a specific interface name,
which doesn't need to be validated in advance.
Implement -o / --outbound ADDR to bind to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses,
and --outbound-if4 and --outbound-if6 to bind IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
to given interfaces.
Given that it probably makes little sense to select addresses and
routes from interfaces different than the ones given for outbound
sockets, also assign those as "template" interfaces, by default,
unless explicitly overridden by '-i'.
For ICMP and UDP, we call sock_l4() to open outbound sockets, as we
already needed to bind to given ports or echo identifiers, and we
can bind() a socket only once: there, pass address (if any) and
interface (if any) for the existing bind() and setsockopt() calls.
For TCP, in general, we wouldn't otherwise bind sockets. Add a
specific helper to do that.
For UDP outbound sockets, we need to know if the final destination
of the socket is a loopback address, before we decide whether it
makes sense to bind the socket at all: move the block mangling the
address destination before the creation of the socket in the IPv4
path. This was already the case for the IPv6 path.

In preparation for the next patch, make it clear that the first
routable interface fetched via netlink, or the one configured via
-i/--interface, is simply used as template to copy addresses and
routes, not an interface we actually use to derive the source address
(which will be _bound to_) for outgoing packets.
The man page and usage message appear to be already clear enough.
