...and further interleave register usage. This brings the csum()
overhead reported by perf(1) for 30 seconds of 64KiB TCP IPv4
frames, host to guest, from 7.2% to 5.8%.

I left a TODO and never checked -- this actually seems to slightly
improve CPIs on AMD Naples (two 128-bit FMA units glued together).

...if we check whether an option might be a namespace specification,
and it turns out not to be (e.g. with --pcap), we might set
netns_only, but we don't reset it back to 0 if it wasn't set.

Otherwise, tcp4_l2_flags_buf_t is not consistent with tcp4_l2_buf_t and
header fields get all mixed up in tcp_l2_buf_fill_headers().

While it's not recommended to give passt any capability, drop all the
ones we might have got by mistake, except for the only sensible one,
CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE.

Replace libc functions that might dynamically allocate memory with own
implementations or wrappers.
Drop brk(2) from list of allowed syscalls in seccomp profile.
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
List of allowed syscalls comes from comments in the form:
#syscalls <list>
for syscalls needed both in passt and pasta mode, and:
#syscalls:pasta <list>
#syscalls:passt <list>
for syscalls specifically needed in pasta or passt mode only.
seccomp.sh builds a list of BPF statements from those comments,
prefixed by a binary search tree to keep lookup fast.
While at it, clean up a bit the Makefile using wildcards.

The behaviour without tcpi_snd_wnd changed: the only difference now
is the advertised window, which corresponds to the queried sending
buffer size.

Move netlink routines to their own file, and use netlink to configure
or fetch all the information we need, except for the TUNSETIFF ioctl.
Move pasta-specific functions to their own file as well, add
parameters and calls to configure the tap interface in the namespace.

getifaddrs() needs to allocate heap memory, and gets a ton of results
we don't need. Use explicit netlink messages with "strict checking"
instead.
While at it, separate L2/L3 address handling, so that we don't fetch
MAC addresses for IPv6, and also use netlink instead of ioctl() to
get the MAC address.

We usually have up to one additional child exiting while we receive
a SIGCHLD, instead of complicating this with tracking PIDs, just
add a second waitid() call.

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,

That's the first thing we have to do, before sending SYN, ACK:
if tcp_send_to_tap() fails, we'll get a lot of useless events
otherwise.

Now that we have a proper function checking when and how to send
ACKs and window updates, we don't need to duplicate this logic in
tcp_data_from_tap().

...using pre-cooked buffers, just like we do with other segments.
While at it, remove some code duplication by having separate
functions for updating ACK sequence and window, and for filling in
buffer headers.

We'll need this for TCP ACK coalescing on tap/guest-side. For

Now that we fixed the issue with small receiving buffers, we can
safely increase this back and get slightly lower syscall overhead.
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
If net.core.rmem_max and net.core.wmem_max sysctls have low values,
we can get bigger buffers by not trying to set them high -- the
kernel would lock their values to what we get.
Try, instead, to get bigger buffers by queueing as much as possible,
and if maximum values in tcp_wmem and tcp_rmem are bigger than this,
that will work.
While at it, drop QUICKACK option for non-spliced sockets, I set
that earlier by mistake.
