The test scripts create a bunch of temporary files to keep track of
internal state. Some are made in /tmp with individual mktemp calls, some
go in the passt source directory, and some go in $LOGDIR. This can
sometimes make it messy to clean up after failed test runs.
Start cleaning this up by creating a single "state" directory ($STATEBASE)
in /tmp for all the state or temporary files used by a single test run.
Clean it up automatically in cleanup() - except when DEBUG==1, because
those files can be useful for debugging test script failures.
We create subdirectories under $STATEBASE for each setup function, exposed
as $STATESETUP. We also create subdirectories for each test script and
expose those to the scripts as __STATEDIR__.

We install a cleanup() function with 'trap' in order to clean up temporary
files we generate during the tests. However, we deinstall it after
run_term, which means it won't run in most of the cases where it would be
useful. Even if "run from_term" exits with an error, that error will be
hidden from the run_term wrapper because it's within a tmux session, so we
will return from run_term normally, uninstall the trap and never clean up.
In fact there's no reason to uninstall the trap at all, it works just as
well on the success exit path as an error exit path.

Extend the context system to allow commands to be run in a namespace
created with unshare, and use it for the namespace used in the pasta tests.
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
In our test scripts we need to do some ugly parsing of /proc and/or pstree
output in order to get the PIDs of processes running in namespaces so that
we can connect to those namespaces with nsenter or pasta.
This is actually a pretty tricky problem with standard tools. To determine
the PID from the outside of the namespace we need to know how the process
of interest is related to the unshare or pasta process (child? one of
several children? grandchild?) as well as then parsing /proc or ps output.
This is slightly awkward now, and will get worse with future changes I'd
like to make to have processes are dispatched.
The obvious solution would be to have the process of interest (which we
control) report its own PID, but that doesn't work easily, because it is in
a PID namepace and sees only its local PID not the global PID we need to
address it from outside.
To handle this, add a small custom tool, "nsholder". This takes a path
and a mode parameter. In "hold" mode it will create a unix domain socket
bound to the path and listening. In "pid" mode it will get the "hold"ing
process's pid via the unix socket using SO_PEERCRED, which translates
between PID namespaces. In "stop" mode it will send a message to the
socket causing the "hold"ing process to clean up and exit.

We're creating a system for tests to more reliably execute commands in
various contexts (e.g. host, guest, namespace). That transition is going
to happen over a number of steps though, so in the meantime we need to deal
with both the old-style issuing of commands via typing into and screen
scraping tmux panels, and the new-style system for executing commands in
context.
Introduce some transitional helpers which will issue a command via context
if the requested context is initialized, but will otherwise fall back to
the old style tmux panel based method. Re-implement the various test DSL
commands in terms of these new helpers.
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
We're moving to a new way of the tests dispatching commands to running in
contexts (host, guest, namespace, etc.). As we make this transition,
though, we still want the user to be able to watch the commands running
in a context, as they previously could from the commands issued in the
pane.
Add a helper to set up a pane to watch a context's log to allow this. In
some cases we currently issue commands from several different logical
contexts in the same pane, so allow a pane to watch several contexts at
once. Also use tail's --retry option to allow starting the watch before
we've initialized the context which will be useful in some cases.
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
For the tests, we need to run commands in various contexts: in the host,
in a guest or in a namespace. Currently we do this by running each context
in a tmux pane, and using tmux commands to type the commands into the
relevant pane, then screen-scrape the output for the results if we need
them.
This is very fragile, because we have to make various assumptions to parse
the output. Those can break if a shell doesn't have the prompt we expect,
if the tmux pane is too small or in various other conditions.
This starts some library functions for a new "context" system, that
provides a common way to invoke commands in a given context, in a way that
properly preserves stdout, stderr and the process return code.

These two commands in the DSL to run an iperf client and server are always

iperf3s must also be run more or less immediately after iperf3c, since
iperf3c will run a client in the background after a sleep and requires a
server to be running before it will work.
A bunch of things can be made cleaner if we make a single DSL command that
runs both sides of the test. For now make the combined command work
exactly like the two commands together did, warts and all.

The test scripts run with sh -e, which means they will stop if any commands
return an error. That's generally desirable, because we won't continue
after things are hopeless due to an earlier step failing.
Unfortunately, the tmux setup we run the script in means it's not obvious
where any error messages related to such a failure will go. Depending on
exactly where the error occurs they might go to the original terminal
hidden behind tmux, or they might go to a tmux panel that's not visible in
the normal layouts.
To make it easier to find such error message, redirect direct output and
errors from the test script itself to a 'script.log' file in the logs

The "valgrind" test cases are designed to pick up errors reported when

the passt process, then see if it had a non-zero exit code. That means it
will equally well pick up any other problems which caused passt to exit
with an error status: either something detected within passt or as a result
of passt being killed by an unexpected signal.
The fact that the "valgrind" test is actually responsible for shutting down
the passt process is non-obvious and can lead to problems when selectively
running tests during debugging.

Now that the back end allows passt/pasta to use different external
interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6, use that to do the right thing in the case
that the host has IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity via different interfaces.
If the user hasn't explicitly chosen an interface, separately search for
a suitable external interface for each protocol.
As a bonus, this substantially simplifies the external interface probe. It
also eliminates a subtle confusing case where in some circumstances we

order of routes returned from netlink. On some network configurations that

teardown_passt_in_ns() sends a ^D to the NS pane, which appears to be

nsenter in the NS pane will be killed, so it does not need to be exited

In fact sending the extra ^D can be harmful, since it will exit the shell

In addition many of the images have the same preparation steps leading to

Therefore move the preparation of most of the guest images to the asset

The top level listing control of which tests to run is in test/run, however
it uses the test() function which runs an entire directory of test files,
filtered by some criteria. This makes it awkward to narrow down to a
subset of tests when debugging a specific failure.
To make this easier, have test() take an explicit list of test files to
run, and have the caller in test/run handle the directory traversal. The
construct we use for this is pretty awkward to handle the fact that we're
in the source tree root directory rather than test/ at this point in
test/run. Later cleanups will improve that.

The test scripts support a "req" directive which requires one test script
to be run before another. It's implemented by doing a topological sort
based on these directives in the runner scripts, which is about as awkward
as you'd expect in Bourne shell.
It turns out we only use this functionality in one place - to make the
"make install" test run after the plain "make" test. We also already have
a simpler way of making sure tests run in a specific order: just put them
into the same test script file.
So, remove support for the "req" directive and just fold the build/all and
build/install test scripts together.

Apparently qemu's ARM virt machine needs to be explicitly given a firmware
image, rather than just supplying a sane default. Unfortunately the EDK2
firmware image we need isn't in the same place on all host distros.
Currently the test scripts hardcode the Debian location, meaning it will
break on hosts that have it somewhere else. This patch searches multiple
locations for the firmware, and creates a local link during the asset build
phase, which the tests can then use.
For now it only searches the locations used by Debian and Fedora, but
that's a small improvement in robustness already, and can be later improved
further if we need to.

A number of passt/pasta testcases have initial steps which are just about
building images or other assets we need for the test proper. Repeating
these for each test run can be quite costly.
This patch makes a start on moving this sort of test asset building to
a separate phase before running the tests proper. For now just add a
Makefile to handle the asset building (although it doesn't build
anything yet), and make the path where we'll be building the assets
available to the tests.

A lot of tests and examples invoke qemu with the command "kvm". However,
as far as I can tell, "kvm" being aliased to the appropriate qemu system
binary is Debian specific. The binary names from qemu upstream -
qemu-system-$ARCH - also aren't universal, but they are more common (they
should be good for both Debian and Fedora at least).
In order to still get KVM acceleration when available, we use the option
"-M accel=kvm:tcg" to tell qemu to try using either KVM or TCG in that
order
A number of the places we invoked "kvm" are expecting specifically an x86
guest, and so it's also safer to explicitly invoke qemu-system-x86_64.
Some others appear to be independent of the target arch (just wanting the
same arch as the host to allow KVM acceleration). Although I suspect there
may be more subtle x86 specific options in the qemu command lines, attempt
to preserve arch independence by using $(uname -m).

Several tests run pp64le guests using "qemu-system-ppc64le". But, at the
system level there's no difference between ppc64 and ppc64le - it's the
same hardware, just placed into different endian modes by OS early boot
code. Reflecting that, qemu only supplies a single "qemu-system-ppc64".
Some distros alias qemu-system-ppc64le to qemu-system-ppc64 (Debian does),
but it's best not to count on this (Fedora doesn't, for example).

David reports that dhclient-script(8) on Fedora needs a number of
binaries that are not included in PROGS of the current mbuto profile,
and we would also need to include hostnamectl(1) there, which will
fail without a systemd init.
Embed a minimal script for dhclient(8) in the profile itself, written
to /sbin/dhclient-script at boot, to just check what we need to check
out of DHCP and DHCPv6 functionality.
While at it, drop busybox and logger from PROGS, as we don't need them,
and add hostname(1). While DHCP option 12 isn't supported yet by the
DHCP implementation in passt, we should probably add it soon.
Note: owing to the simplicity of this script, we now need to bring up

A number of tests and examples use dhclient in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes.
We use "dhclient -6" for IPv6, but usually just "dhclient" for IPv4. Add
an explicit "-4" argument to make it more clear and explicit.
In addition, when dhclient is run from within pasta it usually won't be
"real" root, and so will not have access to write the default global pid
file. This results in a mostly harmless but irritating error:
Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied

distro/fedora contains two versions of the basic tests, used for different
Fedora versions. One uses explicit listening address for netcat in some
extra places, the other does not. Apparently the older netcat versions
didn't require the explicit addresses. Not supplying addresses doesn't
test anything useful though, just a detail in netcat's behaviour. So,
it's cleaner to just always supply explicit addresses.
In addition, we're explicitly expecting the nmap version of ncat, also
known as "ncat". So, it's more explicit what we're after if we invoke it
via that name rather than "nc", which will go via an /etc/alternatives

pane_parse() attempts to grab the output from the last command issued
into a tmux pane. It strips out control characters using tr, which in
particular includes the final \r\n. However, this won't fully strip
out terminal escape sequences. In particular this breaks if the shell
in the pane is bash, with enable-bracketed-paste enabled in readline.
That issues terminal sequences to enable and disable bracketed paste
mode around every shell prompt.
We can work around this because these escapes are followed by a \r
(CR). More generally, it seems reasonable to assume that any terminal
shenanigans followed by a CR, but not an LF is supposed to be hidden.
So, use sed to strip everything before the second last CR. We still
need the tr to remove the final \r\n from the string (sed processes a
line at a time, and doesn't consider the CRLF part of the buffer it's
processing).

run_term() uses tmux set-option -g to globally set the default shell.
Unfortunately this hits a chicken-and-egg problem that's common with many
of tmux's session options. If there isn't already a tmux server running,
we can't connect to set the option. If we attempt this after starting our
session (and therefore the server), then the session will already be
started with the previous default shell.
In any case it's not a good idea to set tmux global options, since that
might interfere with whatever else the user is doing in tmux. So, instead
set the default-shell option locally to the session after starting it. To
make sure we get the right shell for our initial script, explicitly invoke

The semantics of tmux's update-environment option are a bit confusing.
It says it means the given variables are copied into the session

what the "source" environment means.
From my experimentation it appeast to be the environment from which
the tmux *server* is launched, not the one issuing the 'new-session'
command. That makes it pretty much useles, certainly in our case where
we have no way of knowing if the user has pre-existing tmux sessions.

To reach (at least) a conceptually equivalent security level as
implemented by --enable-sandbox in slirp4netns, we need to create a
new mount namespace and pivot_root() into a new (empty) mountpoint, so
that passt and pasta can't access any filesystem resource after
initialisation.
While at it, also detach IPC, PID (only for passt, to prevent
vulnerabilities based on the knowledge of a target PID), and UTS
namespaces.
With this approach, if we apply the seccomp filters right after the
configuration step, the number of allowed syscalls grows further. To
prevent this, defer the application of seccomp policies after the
initialisation phase, before the main loop, that's where we expect bad
things to happen, potentially. This way, we get back to 22 allowed
syscalls for passt and 34 for pasta, on x86_64.
While at it, move #syscalls notes to specific code paths wherever it
conceptually makes sense.
We have to open all the file handles we'll ever need before
sandboxing:
- the packet capture file can only be opened once, drop instance
numbers from the default path and use the (pre-sandbox) PID instead
- /proc/net/tcp{,v6} and /proc/net/udp{,v6}, for automatic detection
of bound ports in pasta mode, are now opened only once, before
sandboxing, and their handles are stored in the execution context
- the UNIX domain socket for passt is also bound only once, before
sandboxing: to reject clients after the first one, instead of
closing the listening socket, keep it open, accept and immediately
discard new connection if we already have a valid one
Clarify the (unchanged) behaviour for --netns-only in the man page.
To actually make passt and pasta processes run in a separate PID
namespace, we need to unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) before forking to
background (if configured to do so). Introduce a small daemon()
implementation, __daemon(), that additionally saves the PID file
before forking. While running in foreground, the process itself can't
move to a new PID namespace (a process can't change the notion of its
own PID): mention that in the man page.
For some reason, fork() in a detached PID namespace causes SIGTERM
and SIGQUIT to be ignored, even if the handler is still reported as
SIG_DFL: add a signal handler that just exits.
We can now drop most of the pasta_child_handler() implementation,
that took care of terminating all processes running in the same
namespace, if pasta started a shell: the shell itself is now the
init process in that namespace, and all children will terminate
once the init process exits.
Issuing 'echo $$' in a detached PID namespace won't return the
actual namespace PID as seen from the init namespace: adapt
demo and test setup scripts to reflect that.
