b4d41ac4b6 test/run: Return 0 from run(), exit value already reflects failures
There's no need to return non-zero if there have been failures in
run(), because the exit value is already determined from the number
of failures reported in the log file.

Return zero, so that this doesn't cause the script to fail, given we
now run it with -e.

cfa8a78a39 test/perf/pasta_udp: Drop redundant assignment of ::1 to loopback interface
There are a few occurrences of this assignment, which are needed to
re-add ::1 as loopback address after the MTU has been increased
back from a value below 1280 bytes.

This one, however, is redundant, and causes an error in the

21e9cf7b95 tests: Simplify explicit checks for command success
A number of individual test cases use '*out' commands to check for success
of specific commands they've issued.  Now that the test harness is testing
for success of all issued commands as a matter of course, we no longer need

used to check tool availability, rather than constructing, then parsing

13ad716f30 tests: Add pane_status command to check for success of issued commands
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

3e0641f91f tests: Don't ignore errors during script
Most commands issued during the testing scripts aren't explicitly checked
for errors.  Therefore, if they fail, the shell will just keep on
executing.  This makes it difficult to figure out where things started
going wrong if things fall over.

Run the whole script with the set -e mode so that it will exit in the case
of any (unchecked) failing command.  To make this work we do need to add
explicit checks / fallbacks for some commands which we expect to fail.

c638129a9e tests: Improve control character filtering in pane_parse
pane_parse() attempts to grab the output from the last command issued
into a tmux pane.  It strips out control characters using tr, which in
particular includes the final \r\n.  However, this won't fully strip
out terminal escape sequences.  In particular this breaks if the shell
in the pane is bash, with enable-bracketed-paste enabled in readline.
That issues terminal sequences to enable and disable bracketed paste
mode around every shell prompt.

We can work around this because these escapes are followed by a \r
(CR).  More generally, it seems reasonable to assume that any terminal
shenanigans followed by a CR, but not an LF is supposed to be hidden.
So, use sed to strip everything before the second last CR.  We still
need the tr to remove the final \r\n from the string (sed processes a
line at a time, and doesn't consider the CRLF part of the buffer it's
processing).

ae83999b75 tests: Don't globally set tmux default-shell
run_term() uses tmux set-option -g to globally set the default shell.
Unfortunately this hits a chicken-and-egg problem that's common with many
of tmux's session options.  If there isn't already a tmux server running,
we can't connect to set the option.  If we attempt this after starting our
session (and therefore the server), then the session will already be
started with the previous default shell.

In any case it's not a good idea to set tmux global options, since that
might interfere with whatever else the user is doing in tmux.  So, instead
set the default-shell option locally to the session after starting it.  To
make sure we get the right shell for our initial script, explicitly invoke
/bin/sh to interpret it.

14cbbd602c tests: Don't use tmux update-environment
The semantics of tmux's update-environment option are a bit confusing.
It says it means the given variables are copied into the session
environment from the source environment, but it's not entirely clear
what the "source" environment means.

From my experimentation it appeast to be the environment from which
the tmux *server* is launched, not the one issuing the 'new-session'
command.  That makes it pretty much useles, certainly in our case where
we have no way of knowing if the user has pre-existing tmux sessions.

Instead use the new-session -e option to explicitly pass in the variables
we want to propagate.

213c397492 passt, pasta: Run-time selection of AVX2 build
Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for
distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with
specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains
from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines.

For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple
wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.

0515adceaa passt, pasta: Namespace-based sandboxing, defer seccomp policy application
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.

087b5f4dbb LICENSES: Add license text files, add missing notices, fix SPDX tags
SPDX tags don't replace license files. Some notices were missing and
some tags were not according to the SPDX specification, too.

Now reuse --lint from the REUSE tool (https://reuse.software/) passes.

9a175cc2ce pasta: Allow specifying paths and names of namespaces
Based on a patch from Giuseppe Scrivano, this adds the ability to:

- specify paths and names of target namespaces to join, instead of
  a PID, also for user namespaces, with --userns

- request to join or create a network namespace only, without
  entering or creating a user namespace, with --netns-only

- specify the base directory for netns mountpoints, with --nsrun-dir

[sbrivio: reworked logic to actually join the given namespaces when
 they're not created, implemented --netns-only and --nsrun-dir,
 updated pasta demo script and man page]
