06abfcf6d9 Separately locate external interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6
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
would pick the first interface in interface index order, and sometimes in
order of routes returned from netlink.  On some network configurations that
could cause tests to fail, because the logic in the tests was subtly
different (it always used route order).

3eaf9f5320 tests: Correct determination of host interface name in tests
By default, passt itself attaches to the first host interface with a
default route.  However, when determining the host interface name the tests
implicitly select the *last* host interface: they use a jq expression which
will list all interfaces with default routes, but the way output detection
works in the scripts, it will only pick up the last line.

If there are multiple interfaces with default routes on the host, and they
each have a different address, this can cause spurious test failures.

4b2e018d70 Allow different external interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity
It's quite plausible for a host to have both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity,
but only via different interfaces.  For example, this will happen in the
case that IPv6 connectivity is via a tunnel (e.g. 6in4 or 6rd).  It would
also happen in the case that IPv4 access is via a tunnel on an otherwise
IPv6 only local network, which is a setup that might become more common in
the post IPv4 address exhaustion world.

In turns out there's no real need for passt/pasta to get its IPv4 and IPv6
connectivity via the same interface, so we can handle this situation fairly
easily.  Change the core to allow eparate external interfaces for IPv4 and
IPv6.  We don't actually set these separately for now.

0aae39d73a test: Expand root partition of Debian sid amd64 and aarch64 images
A couple of days ago, we started running out of space there as we're
about to install gcc -- about 50 MiB are missing.

Given that virt-resize (which could be conveniently invoked by the
Makefile for tests) reorders partitions if we expand the first one,
resize the image using qemu-img from the test script itself, and then
take care of expanding root partition and filesystem online later.

This is probably a temporary hack, so I'm not looking for a more
generic or elegant solution at the moment.

4094cec7f7 tests: Clean up better after iperf tests
The iperf based test commands create a bunch of .bw and .pid files for
each iperf client and server.  The server side .bw files are cleaned
up afterwards, but the pid files are not, and none of the client side
files are cleaned up.  The latter doesn't really matter when the

2d289ec711 tests: Use dhclient --no-pid for namespaces in two_guests tests
Before starting the guests, these tests configure addresses in a pasta
namespace using dhclient.  However, because it's a user namespace, it's
not running as "real" root and can't write to the dhclient pid file.
This doesn't stop it working, but causes an ugly error message which we
can avoid by using the --no-pid option.

d078a1113f tests: Remove unnecessary ^D in passt_in_ns teardown
teardown_passt_in_ns() sends a ^D to the NS pane, which appears to be
intended to terminate the nsenter running there, leaving the namespace.
However, we've also sent a ^D to the PASST pane which will exit the pasta
instance which created the namespace.  With the namespace destroyed the
nsenter in the NS pane will be killed, so it does not need to be exited
explicitly.

In fact sending the extra ^D can be harmful, since it will exit the shell
in which the nsenter was run, causing the whole pane to be closed.  That
can then mean that the "pane_wait NS" hangs indefinitely.  I believe this
will sometimes work, because there's a race between the various options
here, but it should be more reliable without the extra ^D.

Commit 41c02e10 ("tests: Use nmap-ncat instead of openbsd netcat for pasta

For some upcoming changes, however, we'll be wanting to use socat.

70fcba542e tests: Fix detection of empty 'hout' responses in passt{,_in_ns} tests
The dhcp/passt and dhcp/passt_in_ns tests at least, and maybe others
use 'hout' commands that need to be able to detect empty output.
However, we don't set PS1, which means the screen-scraping logic which
detects this may not be reliable.  In addition, if the host is using a
recent bash, it will have bracketed paste mode enabled which will also
add escape codes which will mess up the empty output detection.

Set the prompt and disable bracketed paste mode from the passt and
passt_in_ns setups to avoid these problems.

92b341f8d2 tests: More robust parsing of resolv.conf for DHCP tests
To check publishing of DNS information via DHCP, we need to extract a list
of nameservers and/or search domains from resolv.conf in the test script.

The current version (usually) leaves the result with a trailing ','.
That's usually ok because it happens on both guest and host sides.  However
it's kind of confusing, and might stop working if the host had a
resolv.conf without a trailing \n on the last line.  It also makes some
later changes we'll need more difficult.

So, normalize the output from resolv.conf a bit further, removing any
trailing ','.  It turns out we can do this with a slightly less complex
sed expression than the one we already have.

9af2e5d5fc qrap: Add a neighbour solicitation to probe frames, instead of just ARP

we get a neighbour advertisement if IPv6 is enabled.

220759efb8 conf: Allow to specify ranges and ports excluded from given ranges
This is useful in environments where we want to forward a large
number of ports, or all non-ephemeral ones, and some other service
running on the host needs a few selected ports.

I'm using ~ as prefix for the specification of excluded ranges and
ports to avoid the need for explicit command line quoting.

Ranges and ports can be excluded from given ranges by adding them
in the comma-separated list, prefixed by ~. Some quick examples:

  -t 5000-6000,~5555: forward ports 5000 to 6000, but not 5555

  -t ~20000-20010: forward all non-ephemeral, allowed ports, except
     for ports 20000 to 20010

4de37151c9 conf: Fix initialisation of IPv6 unicast and link-local addresses
In commit 675174d4ba ("conf, tap: Split netlink and pasta
functions, allow interface configuration"), I broke the initial
setting of the observed IPv6 addresses in two ways:

- the size copied from the configured addresses corresponds to an
  IPv4 address, not to an IPv6 address

- the observed link-local address is initialised to the configured
  unicast address, not the link-local one

If we haven't seen the guest using some type of addresses yet, we
should default to the configured values, hence these initial
settings: fix both.

This resulted in UDP flows to the guest from a unique local address
on the network not working before the guest shows passt a valid
address itself, as reported by Alona.

The Fedora test file extracts some information from the host resolv.conf
into a DNS6 variable which is then never used.  Remove this unnecessary

This was the only user of 'head' and 'sed' in the test file, so those can
also be removed from the required tools.  The debian and ubuntu test files
also listed 'head' and 'sed' as tools, although they don't use them,
I'm guessing because of an earlier version which had the same DNS6 code.
Remove those as well.

d2802ec874 tests: Prepare distro images during asset build phase
Before booting the guest images, the distro test cases need to modify the
guest images, using virt-edit and guestfish, to boot in the way we need.
At present this gets repeated on every test run, even though it's not
really doing anything we want to test for.

In addition many of the images have the same preparation steps leading to
a lot of duplicated stages in the tests.  A number of additional images can
be prepared using common steps, even if the ones used now have small
differences.

Therefore move the preparation of most of the guest images to the asset
build phase, where they can be done a single time for multiple test runs,
using a common preparation script.  We can even avoid making a copy of the
disk image for booting, by using qemu's -snapshot option.

A few of the distros (openSUSE and older Ubuntu) do need different steps.
For now we don't chage how they are run, they could possibly be handled
more like this in future.

a832a44e67 tests: Explicitly list test files in test/run, remove "onlyfor" support
Currently test/run uses wildcards to run all of the tests in a directory.
However, that wildcard list is filtered down by the "onlyfor" directives
in the test files... usually to a single file.

Therefore, just explicitly list the files we *really* want to run for this
test mode.  This makes it easier to see at the top level what tests will
be executed, and to change that list temporarily while debugging specific
failures.

This means the "onlyfor" directive no longer has any purpose, and we can
remove it.  "onlyfor" was also the only used of the $MODE variable, so we
can remove that too.

544f790bf8 tests: Don't automatically traverse directories of test files
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.

5d7688d26f tests: Remove not-very-useful "req" directive

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

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.

2297637251 tests: Move mbuto download and execution to asset build
Move the download of mbuto and using it to create a sample initramfs to
the asset build makefile, rather than embedding it in the test scripts
themselves.

The two_guests tests used to use two separate copies of the mbuto
image.  As an initramfs the mbuto image is strictly readonly though,
so that's not necessary.  So, also use the same image for both guests.

db551e5de0 tests: Introduce makefile for building test assets
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.

7bcc5930a6 Invoke specific qemu-system-* binaries
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).

c4d8a77512 tests: qemu-system-ppc64le isn't a thing
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).
