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.

Currently the build tests and distro tests share a common setup function.
That works for now, but changes we want to make will mean they need
slightly different setup, so split the setup functions in preparation.
Currently, neither build nor distro tests have any teardown function.
Again, future changes are going to mean we need to do some teardown, so
create some empty for now teardown functions in preparation.

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.

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.

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.

Similar case as the one fixed by David's patch "tests: Remove
unnecessary ^D in passt_in_ns teardown": we happen to pseudo-randomly
close panes by unnecessarily exiting the parent shells there, and
subsequent pane_wait directives hang.

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.

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.

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).

This depends on a future change in mbuto to accept external profile

For some reason, the passt/pasta tests and examples use dhclient for
DHCPv6, but in most cases use udhcpc for DHCPv4. Change it to use dhclient
for both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6. This means one less tool we need for testing,
plus dhclient is easily available on Fedora whereas udhcpc is not.
Note that the passt tests still rely on udhcpc indirectly because mbuto
wants to put it into the guest images it generates.

A number of tests and examples use dhclient in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes.
We use "dhclient -6" for IPv6, but usually just "dhclient" for IPv4. Add
an explicit "-4" argument to make it more clear and explicit.
In addition, when dhclient is run from within pasta it usually won't be
"real" root, and so will not have access to write the default global pid
file. This results in a mostly harmless but irritating error:
Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied
We can avoid that by using the --no-pid flag to dhclient.

When we use pane_wait to wait for a command issued to a tmux pane to finish
we have no idea whether the command succeeded or not. This means that the
test scripts can keep running long after the point something vital has
failed, making it difficult to work out what went wrong.
Add a new pane_status command that checks for success of the issued command
and use it in most places instead of pane_wait. We still need explicit
pane_wait where we're gathering explicit output with pane_parse, because
the way we check the status with 'echo $?' means we lose track of that
output.

[sbrivio:
- instead of quitting the script, make a test fail if a command
issued in a pane fails during a test, and loop until the status code is
numeric in pane_status() as a hack to make it a bit more robust
- retain usage of pane_wait() in iperf3 and teardown functions as we
interrupt iperf3, passt, and pasta, so a non-zero exit code is expected
- drop bogus ns_{1,2}_wait() calls in teardown_two_guests(), those
functions were never implemented
- use pane_status() for "guest" test directives too

Pass to seccomp.sh a list of additional syscalls valgrind needs as
EXTRA_SYSCALLS in a new 'valgrind' make target, and add corresponding
support in seccomp.sh itself.
In test setup functions, start passt with valgrind, but not for
performance tests.
Add tests checking that valgrind exits without errors after all the
other tests in the group are done.

...showing setup steps, some peculiarities as --net option, and a
general side-to-side comparison with slirp4netns(1), including
"quick" TCP and UDP throughput and latency benchmarks.

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.
