We recently corrected some errors handling the endianness of IPv4
addresses. These are very easy errors to make since although we mostly
store them in network endianness, we sometimes need to manipulate them in
host endianness.
To reduce the chances of making such mistakes again, change to always using
a (struct in_addr) instead of a bare in_addr_t or uint32_t to store network
endian addresses. This makes it harder to accidentally do arithmetic or
comparisons on such addresses as if they were host endian.
We introduce a number of IN4_IS_ADDR_*() helpers to make it easier to
directly work with struct in_addr values. This has the additional benefit
of making the IPv4 and IPv6 paths more visually similar.

There are several minor problems with our parsing of IPv4 netmasks (-n).
First, we don't reject nonsensical netmasks like 0.255.0.255. Address this
structurally by using prefix length instead of netmask as the primary
variable, only converting (and validating) when we need to. This has the
added benefit of making some things more uniform with the IPv6 path.
Second, when the user specifies a prefix length, we truncate the output
from strtol() to an integer, which means we would treat -n 4294967320 as
valid (equivalent to 24). Fix types to check for this.

The INADDR_LOOPBACK constant is in host endianness, and similarly the
IN_MULTICAST macro expects a host endian address. However, there are some
places in passt where we use those with network endian values. This means
that passt will incorrectly allow you to set 127.0.0.1 or a multicast
address as the guest address or DNS forwarding address. Add the necessary
conversions to correct this.
INADDR_ANY and INADDR_BROADCAST logically behave the same way, although
because they're palindromes it doesn't have an effect in practice. Change
them to be logically correct while we're there, though.

To test log files on a tmpfs mount, we need to unshare the mount
namespace, which means using a context for the passt pane is not
really practical at the moment, as we can't open a shell there, so
we would have to encapsulate all the commands under 'unshare -rUm',
plus the "inner" pasta command, running in turn a tcp_rr server.
It might be worth fixing this by e.g. detecting we are trying to
spawn an interactive shell and adding a special path in the context
setup with some form of stdin redirection -- I'm not sure it's doable
though.
For this reason, add a new layout, using a context only for the host
pane, while keeping the old command dispatch mechanism for the passt
pane.
We also need a new setup function that doesn't start pasta: we want
to start and restart it with different options.
Further, we need a 'pint' directive, to send an interrupt to the
passt pane: add that in lib/test.
All the tests before the one involving tmpfs and a detached mount
namespace were also tested with the context mechanism. To make an
eventual conversion easier, pass tcp_crr directly as a command on
pasta's command line where feasible.
While at it, fix the comment to the teardown_pasta() function.
The new test set can be semi-conveniently run as:
./run pasta_options/log_to_file
and it checks basic log creation, size of the log file after flooding
it with debug entries, rotations, and basic consistency after
rotations, on both an existing filesystem and a tmpfs, chosen as
it doesn't support collapsing data ranges via fallocate(), hence
triggering the fall-back mechanism for logging rotation.

This means we exceed the maximum stack size, and we get SIGSEGV,
under any condition, at start time, as reported by Andrea on a recent
build for CentOS Stream 9.
The calculation of NS_FN_STACK_SIZE, which is the stack size we
reserve for clones, was previously obtained by dividing the maximum
stack size by two, to avoid an explicit check on architecture (on
PA-RISC, also known as hppa, the stack grows up, so we point the
clone to the middle of this area), and then further divided by two
to allow for any additional usage in the caller.
Well, if there are essentially no function calls anymore, this is
not enough. Divide it by eight, which is anyway much more than
possibly needed by any clone()d callee.
I think this is robust, so it's a fix in some sense. Strictly
speaking, though, we have no formal guarantees that this isn't
either too little or too much.
What we should do, eventually: check cloned() callees, there are just
thirteen of them at the moment. Note down any stack usage (they are
mostly small helpers), bonus points for an automated way at build
time, quadruple that or so, to allow for extreme clumsiness, and use
as NS_FN_STACK_SIZE. Perhaps introduce a specific condition for hppa.

Even if CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is granted, we'll lose the capability in

Bind inbound ports, and only those, before isolate_user(). Keep the

To this end, initialise the netlink socket for the init namespace

When in passt mode, or pasta mode spawning a command, we create a userns
for ourselves. This is used both to isolate the pasta/passt process itself
and to run the spawned command, if any.
Since eed17a47 "Handle userns isolation and dropping root at the same time"
we've handled both cases the same, configuring the UID and GID mappings in
the new userns to map whichever UID we're running as to root within the
userns.
This mapping is desirable when spawning a shell or other command, so that
the user gets a root shell with reasonably clear abilities within the
userns and netns. It's not necessarily essential, though. When not
spawning a shell, it doesn't really have any purpose: passt itself doesn't
need to be root and can operate fine with an unmapped user (using some of
the capabilities we get when entering the userns instead).
Configuring the uid_map can cause problems if passt is running with any
capabilities in the initial namespace, such as CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE to
allow it to forward low ports. In this case the kernel makes files in
/proc/pid owned by root rather than the starting user to prevent the user
from interfering with the operation of the capability-enhanced process.
This includes uid_map meaning we are not able to write to it.
Whether this behaviour is correct in the kernel is debatable, but in any
case we might as well avoid problems by only initializing the user mappings
when we really want them.
