Commit c318ffcb4c ("udp: Ignore bogus -Wstringop-overread for
write() from gcc 12.1") uses a gcc pragma to ignore a bogus warning,
which started appearing on gcc 12.1 (aarch64 and x86_64) due to:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=103483
...but gcc 12.2 has the same issue. Not just that: if LTO is enabled,
the pragma itself is ignored (this wasn't the case with gcc 12.1),
because of:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80922
Drop the pragma, and assign a frame (in the networking sense) pointer
from the offset of the Ethernet header in the buffer, then pass it to
write() and pcap(), so that gcc doesn't obsess anymore with the fact
that an Ethernet header is 14 bytes and we're sending more than that.

We define our own ffsl() as a weak symbol, in case our C library doesn't
include it. On glibc systems which *do* include it, this causes a cppcheck
warning because unsurprisingly our version doesn't pick the same argument
names. Convert the suppression for this into an inline suppression.

Currently the logic to work out what UID and GID we will run as is spread
across conf(). If --runas is specified it's handled in conf_runas(),
otherwise it's handled by check_root(), which depends on initialization of
the uid and gid variables by either conf() itself or conf_runas().
Make this clearer by putting all the UID and GID logic into a single
conf_ugid() function.

check_root() both checks to see if we are root (in the init namespace),
and if we are drops to an unprivileged user. To make future cleanups
simpler, split the checking for root (now in check_root()) from the actual
dropping of privilege (now in drop_root()).
Note that this does slightly alter semantics. Previously we would only
setuid() if we were originally root (in the init namespace). Now we will
always setuid() and setgid(), though it won't actually change anything if
we weren't privileged to begin with. This also means that we will now
always attempt to switch to the user specified with --runas, even if we
aren't (init namespace) root to begin with. Obviously this will fail with
an error if we weren't privileged to start with. --help and the man page
are updated accordingly.

c->uid and c->gid are first set in conf(), and last used in check_root()
itself called from conf(). Therefore these don't need to be fields in the
long lived context structure and can instead be locals in conf().

The v4 and v6 fields of the context structure can be confusing, because
they change meaning part way through the code: Before conf_ip(), they are
booleans which indicate whether the -4 or -6 options have been given.
After conf_ip() they are DISABLED|ENABLED|PROBE enums which indicate
whether the IP version is available (which means both that it was allowed
on the command line and we were able to configure it). The PROBE variant
of the enum is only used locally within conf_ip() and since recent changes
there it no longer has a real purpose different from ENABLED.
Simplify this all by making the context fields always just a boolean
indicating the availability of the IP version. They both default to 1, but
can be set to 0 by either command line options or configuration failures.
We use some local variables in conf() for tracking the state of the command
line options on their own.

On some systems, user and group "nobody" might not be available. The
new --runas option allows to override the default "nobody" choice if
started as root.
Now that we allow this, drop the initgroups() call that was used to
add any additional groups for the given user, as that might now
grant unnecessarily broad permissions. For instance, several
distributions have a "kvm" group to allow regular user access to
/dev/kvm, and we don't need that in passt or pasta.

This feature is available in slirp4netns but was missing in passt and
pasta.
Given that we don't do dynamic memory allocation, we need to bind
sockets while parsing port configuration. This means we need to
process all other options first, as they might affect addressing and
IP version support. It also implies a minor rework of how TCP and UDP

Implement a packet abstraction providing boundary and size checks
based on packet descriptors: packets stored in a buffer can be queued
into a pool (without storage of its own), and data can be retrieved
referring to an index in the pool, specifying offset and length.
Checks ensure data is not read outside the boundaries of buffer and
descriptors, and that packets added to a pool are within the buffer
range with valid offset and indices.
This implies a wider rework: usage of the "queueing" part of the
abstraction mostly affects tap_handler_{passt,pasta}() functions and
their callees, while the "fetching" part affects all the guest or tap
facing implementations: TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, NDP, DHCP and DHCPv6
handlers.

Using events and flags instead of states makes the implementation
much more straightforward: actions are mostly centered on events
that occurred on the connection rather than states.

which side started closing the connection to handle closing of
connection halves.

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.

PASTA (Pack A Subtle Tap Abstraction) provides quasi-native host
connectivity to an otherwise disconnected, unprivileged network
and user namespace, similarly to slirp4netns. Given that the
implementation is largely overlapping with PASST, no separate binary
is built: 'pasta' (and 'passt4netns' for clarity) both link to
'passt', and the mode of operation is selected depending on how the
binary is invoked. Usage example:
$ unshare -rUn
# echo $$
1871759
$ ./pasta 1871759 # From another terminal
# udhcpc -i pasta0 2>/dev/null
# ping -c1 pasta.pizza

This entails a major rework, especially with regard to the storage of
tracked connections and to the semantics of epoll(7) references.
Indexing TCP and UDP bindings merely by socket proved to be
inflexible and unsuitable to handle different connection flows: pasta
also provides Layer-2 to Layer-2 socket mapping between init and a
separate namespace for local connections, using a pair of splice()
system calls for TCP, and a recvmmsg()/sendmmsg() pair for UDP local
bindings. For instance, building on the previous example:
# ip link set dev lo up
# iperf3 -s
$ iperf3 -c ::1 -Z -w 32M -l 1024k -P2 | tail -n4
[SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 52.3 GBytes 44.9 Gbits/sec 283 sender
[SUM] 0.00-10.43 sec 52.3 GBytes 43.1 Gbits/sec receiver
iperf Done.
epoll(7) references now include a generic part in order to
demultiplex data to the relevant protocol handler, using 24
bits for the socket number, and an opaque portion reserved for
usage by the single protocol handlers, in order to track sockets
back to corresponding connections and bindings.
A number of fixes pertaining to TCP state machine and congestion
window handling are also included here.

As we support UDP forwarding for packets that are sent to local
ports, we actually need some kind of connection tracking for UDP.
While at it, this commit introduces a number of vaguely related fixes
for issues observed while trying this out. In detail:
- implement an explicit, albeit minimalistic, connection tracking
for UDP, to allow usage of ephemeral ports by the guest and by
the host at the same time, by binding them dynamically as needed,
and to allow mapping address changes for packets with a loopback
address as destination
- set the guest MAC address whenever we receive a packet from tap
instead of waiting for an ARP request, and set it to broadcast on
start, otherwise DHCPv6 might not work if all DHCPv6 requests time
out before the guest starts talking IPv4
- split context IPv6 address into address we assign, global or site
address seen on tap, and link-local address seen on tap, and make
sure we use the addresses we've seen as destination (link-local
choice depends on source address). Similarly, for IPv4, split into
address we assign and address we observe, and use the address we
observe as destination
- introduce a clock_gettime() syscall right after epoll_wait() wakes
up, so that we can remove all the other ones and pass the current
timestamp to tap and socket handlers -- this is additionally needed
by UDP to time out bindings to ephemeral ports and mappings between
loopback address and a local address
- rename sock_l4_add() to sock_l4(), no semantic changes intended
- include <arpa/inet.h> in passt.c before kernel headers so that we
can use <netinet/in.h> macros to check IPv6 address types, and
remove a duplicate <linux/ip.h> inclusion

This is a reimplementation, partially building on the earlier draft,
that uses L4 sockets (SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM) instead of SOCK_RAW,
providing L4-L2 translation functionality without requiring any
security capability.
Conceptually, this follows the design presented at:
https://gitlab.com/abologna/kubevirt-and-kvm/-/blob/master/Networking.md
The most significant novelty here comes from TCP and UDP translation
layers. In particular, the TCP state and translation logic follows
the intent of being minimalistic, without reimplementing a full TCP
stack in either direction, and synchronising as much as possible the
TCP dynamic and flows between guest and host kernel.
Another important introduction concerns addressing, port translation
and forwarding. The Layer 4 implementations now attempt to bind on
all unbound ports, in order to forward connections in a transparent
way.
While at it:
- the qemu 'tap' back-end can't be used as-is by qrap anymore,
because of explicit checks now introduced in qemu to ensure that
the corresponding file descriptor is actually a tap device. For
this reason, qrap now operates on a 'socket' back-end type,
accounting for and building the additional header reporting
frame length
- provide a demo script that sets up namespaces, addresses and
routes, and starts the daemon. A virtual machine started in the
network namespace, wrapped by qrap, will now directly interface
with passt and communicate using Layer 4 sockets provided by the
host kernel.
