Ugly as hell, but we keep breaking things otherwise, and I keep
forgetting to run this manually (as long as it's based on my local
Podman setup, that's the only alternative).
We need to clone the Podman repository as distribution packages don't
contain test scripts, typically. While at it, build the latest
version which is what really matters.
As we're planning anyway to revamp the test framework, I'd be
inclined to just add this without too many thoughts, and have it as
a nice-to-have requirement reminder for the new framework.

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.

Many of our tests are based around performing transfers of sample data
across passt/pasta created links. The data flow here can be a bit
hard to follow since, e.g. we create a file transfer it to the guest,
then transfer it back to the host across several different tests.
This also means that the test cases aren't independent of each other.
Because we don't have the original file available at both ends in some
cases, we compare them by generating md5sums at each end and comparing
them, which is a bit complicated.
Make a number of changes to simplify this:
1. Pre-generate the sample data files as a test asset, rather than
building them on the fly during the tests proper
2. Include the sample data files in the mbuto guest image
3. Because we have good copies of the original data available in all
contexts, we can now simply use 'cmp' to check if the transfer
has worked, avoiding md5sum complications.
4. Similarly we can always use the original copy of the sample data
on the send side of each transfer, meaning that the tests become
more independent of each other.

If we use gzip compression (ssh -C) this happens less frequently,

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.

Convert the pasta and passt tests to use new-style context execution
for the things that run in the "passt" frame. Don't touch the
passt_in_ns or two_guests tests yet, because they run passt inside a
namespace which introduces some additional complications we have yet
to handle.

Convert most of the tests to use the new-style system for issuing commands
for all host commands. We leave the distro tests for now: they use
the same pane for both host and guest commands which we'll need some more

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.

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.

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.

Our test DSL has a number of paired commands to run something in the
background in a pane, then later to wait for it to complete. However, in
some of the tests we have these mismatched - starting a command in one
pane, then waiting for it in another.
We appear to get away with this for some reason, but it's not correct and
future changes make it cause more problems.

test_iperf3() is a pretty inscrutable mess of nested background processes.
It has a number of ugly sleeps needed to wait for things to complete.
Rewrite it to be cleaner:
* Use the construct (a & b & wait) to run 'a' and 'b' in parallel, but
then wait for them both to complete before continuing
* This allows us to wait for both the server and client to finish, rather
than sleeping
* Use jq to do all the math we need to get the final result, rather than
jq followed by some complicated 'bc' mangling

Currently all the throughput tests are run for 30s. This is reflected in
both the actual parameters given to the iperf commands, but also in the
matching sleeps in test_iperf3.

[sbrivio: Reflect new parameter in comment to test_iperf3()]
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
These two commands in the DSL to run an iperf client and server are always
used together, and some of the parameters must match between them. The
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.
This does lose the ability for the DSL scripts to give additional options
to the iperf3 server, but we weren't using that anyway.

On new Ubuntu 22.04 images, stopping systemd-resolved to get the
dhclient script override resolv.conf doesn't work anymore. I
originally used that hack to avoid introducing a delay which is
needed when running it on TCG.
Keep systemd-resolved running instead, and wait for it to be ready
by retrying to resolve a domain a few times before installing
packages, so that we don't add another ugly delay that might
unnecessarily slow down things even further.

Performance tests use iperf3(1) with large windows, and these sysctl
entries are needed to run them unmodified.
The passt demo uses perf(1) to report syscall overhead, and that
needs access to hardware performance counters for unprivileged
users.

Currently in at least some of the testcases we kill qemu processes we're
done with by issuing a Control-C to the tmux panel it's running in. That
makes things harder as we try to move towards allowing "headless" testing
without tmux.
So, instead always use an explicit kill on a pid derived from a pidfile
for killing qemu. Note that we don't need to remove the pidfiles
afterwards, because qemu does that itself when terminated.

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
directory. When in DEBUG=1 mode, additionaly 'set -x' so we log all the
commands we execute to that file.

For the passt and passt_in_ns tests we have a "shutdown" testcase that
checks for any errors from the passt process we were using (including
valgrind warnings). Do the same for pasta tests, so that we catch any
error codes from the pasta process.
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
The "valgrind" test cases are designed to pick up errors reported when
passt is running under valgrind. But what it actually does is just kill
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.
Rename the "valgrind" tests to "shutdown" tests and run it regardless of
whether we're using valgrind or not. This allows us to remove an ugly
speacial case in the passt_in_ns teardown code.

The queries we use in the test scripts to locate the external interface
