c864c60047 eliminate most calls to usage() in conf()
Nearly all of the calls to usage() in conf() occur immediately after
logging a more detailed error message, and the fact that these errors
are occuring indicates that the user has already seen the passt usage
message (or read the manpage). Spamming the logfile with the complete
contents of the usage message serves only to obscure the more detailed
error message. The only time when the full usage message should be output
is if the user explicitly asks for it with -h (or its synonyms)

As a start to eliminating the excessive calls to usage(), this patch
replaces most calls to err() followed by usage() with a call to die()
instead. A few other usage() calls remain, but their removal involves
bit more nuance that should be properly explained in separate commit
messages.

dac4af81e3 add die() to log an error message and exit with a single call
Almost all occurences of err() are either immediately followed by
exit(EXIT_FAILURE), usage(argv[0]) (which itself then calls
exit(EXIT_FAILURE), or that is what's done immediately after returning
from the function that calls err(). Modify the errfn macro so that its
instantiations can include exit(EXIT_FAILURE) at the end, and use that
to create a new function die() that will log an error and then
exit.

193385bd2f log to stderr until process is daemonized, even if a log file is set
Once a log file (specified on the commandline) is opened, the logging
functions will stop sending error logs to stderr, which is annoying if
passt has been started by another process that wants to collect error
messages from stderr so it can report why passt failed to start. It
would be much nicer if passt continued sending all log messages to
stderr until it daemonizes itself (at which point the process that
started passt can assume that it was started successfully).

The system log mask is set to LOG_EMERG when the process starts, and
we're already using that to do "special" logging during the period
from process start until the log level requested on the commandline is
processed (setting the log mask to something else). This period
*almost* matches with "the time before the process is daemonized"; if
we just delay setting the log mask a tiny bit, then it will match
exactly, and we can use it to determine if we need to send log
messages to stderr even when a log file has been specified and opened.

This patch delays the setting of the log mask until immediately before
the call to __daemon(). It also modifies logfn() slightly, so that it
will log to stderr any time log mask is LOG_EMERG, even if a log file
has been opened.

6ccab72d9b tcp: Improve handling of fallback if socket pool is empty on new splice
When creating a new spliced connection, we need to get a socket in the
other ns from the originating one.  To avoid excessive ns switches we
usually get these from a pool refilled on a timer.  However, if the pool
runs out we need a fallback.  Currently that's done by passing -1 as the
socket to tcp_splice_connnect() and running it in the target ns.

This means that tcp_splice_connect() itself needs to have different cases
depending on whether it's given an existing socket or not, which is
a separate concern from what it's mostly doing.  We change it to require
a suitable open socket to be passed in, and ensuring in the caller that we
have one.

This requires adding the fallback paths to the caller, tcp_splice_new().
We use slightly different approaches for a socket in the init ns versus the
guest ns.

This also means that we no longer need to run tcp_splice_connect() itself
in the guest ns, which allows us to remove a bunch of boilerplate code.

dc467d526f tcp: Split pool lookup from creating new sockets in tcp_conn_new_sock()
tcp_conn_new_sock() first looks for a socket in a pre-opened pool, then if
that's empty creates a new socket in the init namespace.  Both parts of
this are duplicated in other places: the pool lookup logic is duplicated in
tcp_splice_new(), and the socket opening logic is duplicated in
tcp_sock_refill_pool().

Split the function into separate parts so we can remove both these
duplications.

912d37cd5b tcp: Move socket pool declarations around
tcp_splice.c has some explicit extern declarations to access the
socket pools.  This is pretty dangerous - if we changed the type of
these variables in tcp.c, we'd have tcp.c and tcp_splice.c using the
same memory in different ways with no compiler error.  So, move the
extern declarations to tcp_conn.h so they're visible to both tcp.c and
tcp_splice.c, but not the rest of pasta.

In fact the pools for the guest namespace are necessarily only used by
tcp_splice.c - we have no sockets on the guest side if we're not
splicing.  So move those declarations and the functions that deal
exclusively with them to tcp_splice.c

e456c1ccdc tcp: Make a helper to refill each socket pool
tcp_sock_refill() contains two near-identical loops to refill the IPv4
and IPv6 socket pools.  In addition, if we get an error on the IPv4
pool we exit early and won't attempt to refill the IPv6 pool.  At
least theoretically, these are independent from each other and there's
value to filling up either pool without the other.  So, there's no
strong reason to give up on one because the other failed.

Address both of these with a helper function 'tcp_sock_refill_pool()' to
refill a single given pool.

67920b8820 test/pasta_options: Ignore failures on shell 'exit'
On shell 'exit' commands, running shells from pasta, we might get:

  Cannot set tty process group (No such process)

as some TTY devices might be unaccessible. This is harmless, but
after commit "pasta: propagate exit code from child command", we'll
get test failures there, at least with dash.

Ignore those explicitly with a ugly workaround: we can't simply do
something like:

	exit || :

because the failure is reported by the shell itself once it exits,
regardless of the command evaluation.

7a8ed9459d Make assertions actually useful
There are some places in passt/pasta which #include <assert.h> and make
various assertions.  If we hit these something has already gone wrong, but
they're there so that we a useful message instead of cryptic misbehaviour
if assumptions we thought were correct turn out not to be.

Except.. the glibc implementation of assert() uses syscalls that aren't in
our seccomp filter, so we'll get a SIGSYS before it actually prints the
message.  Work around this by adding our own ASSERT() implementation using
our existing err() function to log the message, and an abort().  The
abort() probably also won't work exactly right with seccomp, but once we've
printed the message, dying with a SIGSYS works just as well as dying with
a SIGABRT.

cc6d8286d1 tcp: Reset ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag only as needed, update timer
David reports that TCP transfers might stall, especially with smaller
socket buffer sizes, because we reset the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag, in
tcp_tap_handler(), whenever we receive an ACK segment, regardless of
its sequence number and the fact that we might still be waiting for
one. This way, we might fail to re-transmit frames on ACK timeouts.

We need, instead, to:

- indicate with the @retrans field only re-transmissions for the same
  data sequences. If we make progress, it should be reset, given that
  it's used to abort a connection when we exceed a given number of
  re-transmissions for the same data

- unset the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag if and only if the acknowledged
  sequence is the same as the last one we sent, as suggested by David

- keep it set otherwise, if progress was done but not all the data we
  sent was acknowledged, and update the expiration of the ACK timeout

Add a new helper for these purposes, tcp_update_seqack_from_tap().

To extend the ACK timeout, the new helper sets the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE
flag, even if it was already set, and conn_flag_do() triggers a timer
update. This part should be revisited at a later time, because,
strictly speaking, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE isn't a flag anymore. One
possibility might be to introduce another connection attribute for
events affecting timer deadlines.

d8921dafe5 pasta: Wait for tap to be set up before spawning command
Adapted from a patch by Paul Holzinger: when pasta spawns a command,
operating without a pre-existing user and network namespace, it needs
to wait for the tap device to be configured and its handler ready,
before the command is actually executed.

Otherwise, something like:
  pasta --config-net nslookup passt.top

usually fails as the nslookup command is issued before the network
interface is ready.

We can't adopt a simpler approach based on SIGSTOP and SIGCONT here:
the child runs in a separate PID namespace, so it can't send SIGSTOP
to itself as the kernel sees the child as init process and blocks
the delivery of the signal.

We could send SIGSTOP from the parent, but this wouldn't avoid the
possible condition where the child isn't ready to wait for it when
the parent sends it, also raised by Paul -- and SIGSTOP can't be
blocked, so it can never be pending.

Use SIGUSR1 instead: mask it before clone(), so that the child starts
with it blocked, and can safely wait for it. Once the parent is
ready, it sends SIGUSR1 to the child. If SIGUSR1 is sent before the
child is waiting for it, the kernel will queue it for us, because
it's blocked.

54502cca7f udp: Use tap_send_frames()
To send frames on the tap interface, the UDP uses a fairly complicated two
level batching.  First multiple frames are gathered into a single "message"
for the qemu stream socket, then multiple messages are send with
sendmmsg().  We now have tap_send_frames() which already deals with sending
a number of frames, including batching and handling partial sends.  Use
that to considerably simplify things.

This does make a couple of behavioural changes:
  * We used to split messages to keep them under 32kiB (except when a
    single frame was longer than that).  The comments claim this is
    needed to stop qemu from closing the connection, but we don't have any
    equivalent logic for TCP.  I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with
    this series, although it was apparently easy to reproduce earlier.

    My suspicion is that there was never an inherent need to keep messages
    small, however with larger messages (and default kernel buffer sizes)
    the chances of needing more than one resend for partial send()s is
    greatly increased.  We used not to correctly handle that case of
    multiple resends, but now we do.

  * Previously when we got a partial send on UDP, we would resend the
    remainder of the entire "message", including multiple frames.  The
    common code now only resends the remainder of a single frame, simply
    dropping any frames which weren't even partially sent.  This is what
    TCP always did and is probably a better idea for UDP too.

2d553b587a tap: Improve handling of partial frame sends
In passt mode, when writing frames to the qemu socket, we might get a short
send.  If we ignored this and carried on, the qemu socket would get out of
sync, because the bytes we actually sent wouldn't correspond  to the length
header we already sent.  tap_send_frames_passt() handles that by doing a
a blocking send to complete the message, but it has a few flaws:
 * We only attempt to resend once: although it's unlikely in practice,
   nothing prevents the blocking send() from also being short
 * We print a debug error if send() returns non-zero.. but send() returns
   the number of bytes sent, so we actually want it to return the length
   of the remaining data.

Correct those flaws and also be a bit more thorough about reporting
problems here.

4b3d38a069 tap: Add "tap headers" abstraction
Currently both the TCP and UDP code need to deal in various places with the
details of the L2 headers, and also the tap-specific "vnet_len" header.
This makes abstracting the tap interface to new backends (e.g. vhost-user
or tun) more difficult.

To improve this abstraction, create a new 'tap_hdr' structure which
represents both L2 (always Ethernet at the moment, but might be vary in
future) and any additional tap specific headers (such as the qemu socket's
vnet_len field).  Provide helper functions and macros to initialize, update
and use it.

d3089eb0ea pcap: Replace pcapm() with pcap_multiple()
pcapm() captures multiple frames from a msghdr, however the only thing it
cares about in the msghdr is the list of buffers, where it assumes there is
one frame to capture per buffer.  That's what we want for its single caller
but it's not the only obvious choice here (one frame per msghdr would
arguably make more sense in isolation).  In addition pcapm() has logic
that only makes sense in the context of the passt specific path its called
from: it skips the first 4 bytes of each buffer, because those have the
qemu vnet_len rather than the frame proper.

Make this clearer by replacing pcapm() with pcap_multiple() which more
explicitly takes one struct iovec per frame, and parameterizes how much of
each buffer to skip (i.e. the offset of the frame within the buffer).

cb3c1ce307 pcap: Introduce pcap_frame() helper
pcap(), pcapm() and pcapmm() duplicate some code, for the actual writing
to the capture file.  The purpose of pcapm() and pcapmm() not calling
pcap() seems to be to avoid repeatedly calling gettimeofday() and to avoid
printing errors for every packet in a batch if there's a problem.  We can
accomplish that while still sharing code by adding a new helper which
takes the packet timestamp as a parameter.

b93d025d50 udp: Don't use separate sockets to listen for spliced packets
Currently, when ports are forwarded inbound in pasta mode, we open two
sockets for incoming traffic: one listens on the public IP address and will
forward packets to the tuntap interface.  The other listens on localhost
and forwards via "splicing" (resending directly via sockets in the ns).

Now that we've improved the logic about whether we "splice" any individual
packet, we don't need this.  Instead we can have a single socket bound to
0.0.0.0 or ::, marked as able to splice and udp_sock_handler() will deal
with each packet as appropriate.

8d503e825f udp: Decide whether to "splice" per datagram rather than per socket
Currently we have special sockets for receiving datagrams from locahost
which can use the optimized "splice" path rather than going across the tap
interface.

We want to loosen this so that sockets can receive sockets that will be
forwarded by both the spliced and non-spliced paths.  To do this, we alter
the meaning of the @splice bit in the reference to mean that packets
receieved on this socket *can* be spliced, not that they *will* be spliced.
They'll only actually be spliced if they come from 127.0.0.1 or ::1.

We can't (for now) remove the splice bit entirely, unlike with TCP.  Our
gateway mapping means that if the ns initiates communication to the gw
address, we'll translate that to target 127.0.0.1 on the host side.  Reply
packets will therefore have source address 127.0.0.1 when received on the
host, but these need to go via the tap path where that will be translated
back to the gateway address.  We need the @splice bit to distinguish that
case from packets going from localhost to a port mapped explicitly with
-u which should be spliced.

8a10f23720 udp: Unify udp_sock_handler_splice() with udp_sock_handler()
These two functions now have a very similar structure, and their first
part (calling recvmmsg()) is functionally identical.  So, merge the two
functions into one.

This does have the side effect of meaning we no longer receive multiple
packets at once for splice (we already didn't for tap).  This does hurt
throughput for small spliced packets, but improves it for large spliced
packets and tap packets.

So, replace the awkward initialization in udp_sock_handler_splice()

c9e193b5ae udp: Don't handle tap receive batch size calculation within a #define
UDP_MAX_FRAMES gives the maximum number of datagrams we'll ever handle as a
batch for sizing our buffers and control structures.  The subtly different
UDP_TAP_FRAMES gives the maximum number of datagrams we'll actually try to
receive at once for tap packets in the current configuration.

This depends on the mode, meaning that the macro has a non-obvious
dependency on the usual 'c' context variable being available.  We only use
it in one place, so it makes more sense to open code this.  Add an
explanatory comment while we're there.

09c00f1d2a udp: Split sending to passt tap interface into separate function
The last part of udp_sock_handler() does the actual sending of frames
to the tap interface.  For pasta that's just a call to
udp_tap_send_pasta() but for passt, it's moderately complex and open
coded.

For symmetry, move the passt send path into its own function,
udp_tap_send_passt().  This will make it easier to abstract the tap
interface in future (e.g. when we want to add vhost-user).

a6e919a951 udp: Move sending pasta tap frames to the end of udp_sock_handler()
udp_sock_handler() has a surprising difference in flow between pasta and
passt mode: For pasta we send each frame to the tap interface as we prepare
it.  For passt, though, we prepare all the frames, then send them with a
single sendmmsg().

Alter the pasta path to also prepare all the frames, then send them at the
end.  We already have a suitable data structure for the passt case.  This
will make it easier to abstract out the tap backend difference in future.

Reported by Coverity (CWE-606, Untrusted loop bound), and actually
harmless because we'll exit the option-scanning loop if the remaining

310bdbdcf4 udp: Factor out control structure management from udp_sock_fill_data_v[46]
The main purpose of udp_sock_fill_data_v[46]() is to construct the IP, UDP
and other headers we'll need to forward data onto the tap interface.  In
addition they update the control structures (iovec and mmsghdr) we'll need
to send the messages, and in the case of pasta actually sends it.

This leads the control structure management and the send itself awkwardly
split between udp_sock_fill_data_v[46]() and their caller
udp_sock_handler().  In addition, this tail part of udp_sock_fill_datav[46]
is essentially common between the IPv4 and IPv6 versions, apart from which
control array we're working on.

Clean this up by reducing these functions to just construct the headers
and renaming them to udp_update_hdr[46]() accordingly.  The control
structure updates are now all in the caller, and common for IPv4 and IPv6.

4b2d227c86 udp: Preadjust udp[46]_l2_iov_tap[].iov_base for pasta mode
Currently, we always populate udp[46]_l2_iov_tap[].iov_base with the
very start of the header buffers, including space for the qemu vnet_len
tag suitable for passt mode.  That's ok because we don't actually use these
iovecs for pasta mode.

However, we do know the mode in udp_sock[46]_iov_init() so adjust these
to the beginning of the headers we'll actually need for the mode: including
the vnet_len tag for passt, but excluding it for pasta.

This allows a slightly nicer way to locate the right buffer to send in the
pasta case, and will allow some additional cleanups later.
