The context structure contains a batch of fields specific to IPv4 and to
IPv6 connectivity. Split those out into a sub-structure.
This allows the conf_ip4() and conf_ip6() functions, which take the
entire context but touch very little of it, to be given more specific
parameters, making it clearer what it affects without stepping through the
code.

After recent changes, conf_ip() now has essentially entirely disjoint paths
for IPv4 and IPv6 configuration. So, it's cleaner to split them out into
different functions conf_ip4() and conf_ip6().
Splitting these out also lets us make the interface a bit nicer, having
them return success or failure directly, rather than manipulating c->v4
and c->v6 to indicate success/failure of the two versions.
Since these functions may also initialize the interface index for each
protocol, it turns out we can then drop c->v4 and c->v6 entirely, replacing
tests on those with tests on whether c->ifi4 or c->ifi6 is non-zero (since
a 0 interface index is never valid).

On some systems, user and group "nobody" might not be available. The
new --runas option allows to override the default "nobody" choice if

Now that we allow this, drop the initgroups() call that was used to

With a lot of concurrent connections, the bitmap scan approach is

Switch to per-connection timerfd timers, set based on events and on

to the common epoll list, and implement the existing timeouts.
While at it, drop the CONN_ prefix from flag names, otherwise they
get quite long, and fix the logic to decide if a connection has a
local, possibly unreachable endpoint: we shouldn't go through the

successful bind(2), and we'll get EACCES if the port number is low.

Two effects:
- ptrace() on passt and pasta can only be done by root, so that even
if somebody gains access to the same user, they won't be able to
check data passed in syscalls anyway. No core dumps allowed either
- /proc/PID files are owned by root:root, and they can't be read by
the same user as the one passt or pasta are running with
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
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.

The existing behaviour is not really practical: an automated agent in

Depending on the C library, but not necessarily in all the
functions we use, statx() might be used instead of stat(),
getdents() instead of getdents64(), readlinkat() instead of
readlink(), openat() instead of open().
On aarch64, it's clone() and not fork(), and dup3() instead of
dup2() -- just allow the existing alternative instead of dealing
with per-arch selections.
Since glibc commit 9a7565403758 ("posix: Consolidate fork
implementation"), we need to allow set_robust_list() for
fork()/clone(), even in a single-threaded context.
On some architectures, epoll_pwait() is provided instead of
epoll_wait(), but never both. Same with newfstat() and
fstat(), sigreturn() and rt_sigreturn(), getdents64() and
getdents(), readlink() and readlinkat(), unlink() and
unlinkat(), whereas pipe() might not be available, but
pipe2() always is, exclusively or not.
Seen on Fedora 34: newfstatat() is used on top of fstat().
syslog() is an actual system call on some glibc/arch combinations,
instead of a connect()/send() implementation.
On ppc64 and ppc64le, _llseek(), recv(), send() and getuid()
are used. For ppc64 only: ugetrlimit() for the getrlimit()
implementation, plus sigreturn() and fcntl64().

of socket()), and sigreturn() also for passt (not just for
pasta).

PASTA (Pack A Subtle Tap Abstraction) provides quasi-native host
connectivity to an otherwise disconnected, unprivileged network
and user namespace, similarly to slirp4netns. Given that the
implementation is largely overlapping with PASST, no separate binary
is built: 'pasta' (and 'passt4netns' for clarity) both link to
'passt', and the mode of operation is selected depending on how the
binary is invoked. Usage example:
$ unshare -rUn
# echo $$

$ ./pasta 1871759 # From another terminal
# udhcpc -i pasta0 2>/dev/null

This entails a major rework, especially with regard to the storage of
tracked connections and to the semantics of epoll(7) references.
Indexing TCP and UDP bindings merely by socket proved to be
inflexible and unsuitable to handle different connection flows: pasta
also provides Layer-2 to Layer-2 socket mapping between init and a
separate namespace for local connections, using a pair of splice()
system calls for TCP, and a recvmmsg()/sendmmsg() pair for UDP local
bindings. For instance, building on the previous example:
# ip link set dev lo up
# iperf3 -s
$ iperf3 -c ::1 -Z -w 32M -l 1024k -P2 | tail -n4
[SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 52.3 GBytes 44.9 Gbits/sec 283 sender
[SUM] 0.00-10.43 sec 52.3 GBytes 43.1 Gbits/sec receiver
iperf Done.
epoll(7) references now include a generic part in order to
demultiplex data to the relevant protocol handler, using 24
bits for the socket number, and an opaque portion reserved for
usage by the single protocol handlers, in order to track sockets
back to corresponding connections and bindings.

As we support UDP forwarding for packets that are sent to local
ports, we actually need some kind of connection tracking for UDP.
While at it, this commit introduces a number of vaguely related fixes
for issues observed while trying this out. In detail:
- implement an explicit, albeit minimalistic, connection tracking
for UDP, to allow usage of ephemeral ports by the guest and by
the host at the same time, by binding them dynamically as needed,
and to allow mapping address changes for packets with a loopback
address as destination
- set the guest MAC address whenever we receive a packet from tap
instead of waiting for an ARP request, and set it to broadcast on
start, otherwise DHCPv6 might not work if all DHCPv6 requests time
out before the guest starts talking IPv4
- split context IPv6 address into address we assign, global or site
address seen on tap, and link-local address seen on tap, and make
sure we use the addresses we've seen as destination (link-local
choice depends on source address). Similarly, for IPv4, split into
address we assign and address we observe, and use the address we
observe as destination
- introduce a clock_gettime() syscall right after epoll_wait() wakes
up, so that we can remove all the other ones and pass the current
timestamp to tap and socket handlers -- this is additionally needed
by UDP to time out bindings to ephemeral ports and mappings between
loopback address and a local address
- rename sock_l4_add() to sock_l4(), no semantic changes intended
- include <arpa/inet.h> in passt.c before kernel headers so that we
can use <netinet/in.h> macros to check IPv6 address types, and
remove a duplicate <linux/ip.h> inclusion

Avoid a bunch of syscalls on forwarding paths by:
- storing minimum and maximum file descriptor numbers for each
protocol, fall back to SO_PROTOCOL query only on overlaps
- allocating a larger receive buffer -- this can result in more
coalesced packets than sendmmsg() can take (UIO_MAXIOV, i.e. 1024),
so make sure we don't exceed that within a single call to protocol
tap handlers
- nesting the handling loop in tap_handler() in the receive loop,
so that we have better chances of filling our receive buffer in
fewer calls
- skipping the recvfrom() in the UDP handler on EPOLLERR -- there's
nothing to be done in that case
and while at it:
- restore the 20ms timer interval for periodic (TCP) events, I
accidentally changed that to 100ms in an earlier commit
- attempt using SO_ZEROCOPY for UDP -- if it's not available,
sendmmsg() will succeed anyway
- fix the handling of the status code from sendmmsg(), if it fails,
we'll try to discard the first message, hence return 1 from the

It's nice to be able to confirm connectivity using ICMP or ICMPv6
echo requests, and "ping" sockets on Linux (IPPROTO_ICMP datagram)
allow us to do that without any special capability.

A bunch of fixes not worth single commits at this stage, notably:
- make buffer, length parameter ordering consistent in ARP, DHCP,
NDP handlers
- strict checking of buffer, message and option length in DHCP
handler (a malicious client could have easily crashed it)
- set up forwarding for IPv4 and IPv6, and masquerading with nft for
IPv4, from demo script
- get rid of separate slow and fast timers, we don't save any
overhead that way
- stricter checking of buffer lengths as passed to tap handlers
- proper dequeuing from qemu socket back-end: I accidentally trashed
messages that were bundled up together in a single tap read
operation -- the length header tells us what's the size of the next
frame, but there's no apparent limit to the number of messages we
get with one single receive
- rework some bits of the TCP state machine, now passive and active
connection closes appear to be robust -- introduce a new
FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN state indicating a FIN_WAIT_1 with a FIN flag
from socket
- streamline TCP option parsing routine
- track TCP state changes to stderr (this is temporary, proper
debugging and syslogging support pending)
- observe that multiplying a number by four might very well change
its value, and this happens to be the case for the data offset
from the TCP header as we check if it's the same as the total
length to find out if it's a duplicated ACK segment
- recent estimates suggest that the duration of a millisecond is
closer to a million nanoseconds than a thousand of them, this
trend is now reflected into the timespec_diff_ms() convenience
routine

This is a reimplementation, partially building on the earlier draft,
that uses L4 sockets (SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM) instead of SOCK_RAW,
providing L4-L2 translation functionality without requiring any
security capability.
Conceptually, this follows the design presented at:
https://gitlab.com/abologna/kubevirt-and-kvm/-/blob/master/Networking.md
The most significant novelty here comes from TCP and UDP translation
layers. In particular, the TCP state and translation logic follows
the intent of being minimalistic, without reimplementing a full TCP
stack in either direction, and synchronising as much as possible the
TCP dynamic and flows between guest and host kernel.
Another important introduction concerns addressing, port translation
and forwarding. The Layer 4 implementations now attempt to bind on
all unbound ports, in order to forward connections in a transparent
way.
While at it:
- the qemu 'tap' back-end can't be used as-is by qrap anymore,
because of explicit checks now introduced in qemu to ensure that
the corresponding file descriptor is actually a tap device. For
this reason, qrap now operates on a 'socket' back-end type,
accounting for and building the additional header reporting
frame length
- provide a demo script that sets up namespaces, addresses and
routes, and starts the daemon. A virtual machine started in the
network namespace, wrapped by qrap, will now directly interface
with passt and communicate using Layer 4 sockets provided by the
host kernel.
