The test scripts create a bunch of temporary files to keep track of
internal state. Some are made in /tmp with individual mktemp calls, some
go in the passt source directory, and some go in $LOGDIR. This can
sometimes make it messy to clean up after failed test runs.
Start cleaning this up by creating a single "state" directory ($STATEBASE)
in /tmp for all the state or temporary files used by a single test run.
Clean it up automatically in cleanup() - except when DEBUG==1, because
those files can be useful for debugging test script failures.
We create subdirectories under $STATEBASE for each setup function, exposed
as $STATESETUP. We also create subdirectories for each test script and
expose those to the scripts as __STATEDIR__.

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.
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
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.

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

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.

Currently in at least some of the testcases we kill qemu processes we're

For the passt and passt_in_ns tests we have a "shutdown" testcase that

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.

Before starting the guests, these tests configure addresses in a pasta

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

recent bash, it will have bracketed paste mode enabled which will also

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

The top level listing control of which tests to run is in test/run, however
it uses the test() function which runs an entire directory of test files,
filtered by some criteria. This makes it awkward to narrow down to a
subset of tests when debugging a specific failure.
To make this easier, have test() take an explicit list of test files to
run, and have the caller in test/run handle the directory traversal. The
construct we use for this is pretty awkward to handle the fact that we're
in the source tree root directory rather than test/ at this point in
test/run. Later cleanups will improve that.

The test scripts support a "req" directive which requires one test script
to be run before another. It's implemented by doing a topological sort
based on these directives in the runner scripts, which is about as awkward
as you'd expect in Bourne shell.
It turns out we only use this functionality in one place - to make the
"make install" test run after the plain "make" test. We also already have
a simpler way of making sure tests run in a specific order: just put them
into the same test script file.
So, remove support for the "req" directive and just fold the build/all and

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).

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

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).
