Callers of tap_send() can optionally use a small optimization by adding
extra space for the 4 byte length header used on the qemu socket interface.
tap_ip_send() is currently the only user of this, but this is used only
for "slow path" ICMP and DHCP packets, so there's not a lot of value to
the optimization.
Worse, having the two paths here complicates the interface and makes future
cleanups difficult, so just remove it. I have some plans to bring back the
optimization in a more general way in future, but for now it's just in the
way.

Even if CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is granted, we'll lose the capability in
the target user namespace as we isolate the process, which means
we're unable to bind to low ports at that point.
Bind inbound ports, and only those, before isolate_user(). Keep the
handling of outbound ports (for pasta mode only) after the setup of
the namespace, because that's where we'll bind them.
To this end, initialise the netlink socket for the init namespace
before isolate_user() as well, as we actually need to know the
addresses of the upstream interface before binding ports, in case
they're not explicitly passed by the user.
As we now call nl_sock_init() twice, checking its return code from
conf() twice looks a bit heavy: make it exit(), instead, as we
can't do much if we don't have netlink sockets.
While at it:
- move the v4_only && v6_only options check just after the first
option processing loop, as this is more strictly related to
option parsing proper
- update the man page, explaining that CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is
*not* the preferred way to bind ports, because passt and pasta
can be abused to allow other processes to make effective usage
of it. Add a note about the recommended sysctl instead
- simplify nl_sock_init_do() now that it's called once for each
case

When in passt mode, or pasta mode spawning a command, we create a userns
for ourselves. This is used both to isolate the pasta/passt process itself
and to run the spawned command, if any.
Since eed17a47 "Handle userns isolation and dropping root at the same time"
we've handled both cases the same, configuring the UID and GID mappings in
the new userns to map whichever UID we're running as to root within the
userns.
This mapping is desirable when spawning a shell or other command, so that
the user gets a root shell with reasonably clear abilities within the
userns and netns. It's not necessarily essential, though. When not
spawning a shell, it doesn't really have any purpose: passt itself doesn't
need to be root and can operate fine with an unmapped user (using some of
the capabilities we get when entering the userns instead).
Configuring the uid_map can cause problems if passt is running with any
capabilities in the initial namespace, such as CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE to
allow it to forward low ports. In this case the kernel makes files in
/proc/pid owned by root rather than the starting user to prevent the user
from interfering with the operation of the capability-enhanced process.
This includes uid_map meaning we are not able to write to it.
Whether this behaviour is correct in the kernel is debatable, but in any
case we might as well avoid problems by only initializing the user mappings
when we really want them.

The current implementation of drop_caps() doesn't really work because it
attempts to drop capabilities from the bounding set. That's not the set
that really matters, it's about limiting the abilities of things we might
later exec() rather than our own capabilities. It also requires
CAP_SETPCAP which we won't usually have.
Replace it with a new version which uses setcap(2) to drop capabilities
from the effective and permitted sets. For now we leave the inheritable
set as is, since we don't want to preclude the user from passing
inheritable capabilities to the command spawed by pasta.
Correctly dropping caps reveals that we were relying on some capabilities
we'd supposedly dropped. Re-divide the dropping of capabilities between

drop_caps() has a number of bugs which mean it doesn't do what you'd
expect. However, even if we fixed those, the call in pasta_start_ns()
doesn't do anything useful:
* In the common case, we're UID 0 at this point. In this case drop_caps()
doesn't accomplish anything, because even with capabilities dropped, we
are still privileged.
* When attaching to an existing namespace with --userns or --netns-only
we might not be UID 0. In this case it's too early to drop all

If the user specifies an explicit loopback address for a port

the same exact address for the 'spliced' socket (because those are,
by definition, only bound to loopback addresses).
This means that the second binding will fail, and, unexpectedly, the
port is forwarded, but via tap device, which means the source address
in the namespace won't be a loopback address.
Make it explicit under which conditions we're creating which kind of
socket, by refactoring tcp_sock_init() into two separate functions
for IPv4 and IPv6 and gathering those conditions at the beginning.
Also, don't create spliced sockets if the user specifies explicitly

In pasta mode, when we receive a new inbound connection, we need to

The existing condition might pick a wrong socket, though, if the
destination port is remapped, because we'll check the bitmap of
inbound ports using the remapped port (stored in the epoll reference)
as index, and not the original port.
Instead of using the port bitmap for this purpose, store this

bit, that's set if the listening socket was created the namespace,
and unset otherwise.
Then, use this bit to pick a socket on the right side.

With gcc 11 and 12, passing -flto, or -flto=auto, and -O2,
intra-procedural optimisation gets rid of a fundamental bit in ndp():
the store of hop_limit in the IPv6 header, before the checksum is
calculated, which on x86_64 looks like this:
ip6hr->hop_limit = IPPROTO_ICMPV6;
b8c0: c6 44 24 35 3a movb $0x3a,0x35(%rsp)
Here, hop_limit is temporarily set to the protocol number, to
conveniently get the IPv6 pseudo-header for ICMPv6 checksum
calculation in memory.
With LTO, the assignment just disappears from the binary.
This is rather visible as NDP messages get a wrong checksum, namely
the expected checksum plus 58, and they're ignored by the guest or
in the namespace, meaning we can't get any IPv6 routes, as reported
by Wenli Quan.
The issue affects a significant number of distribution builds,
including the ones for CentOS Stream 9, EPEL 9, Fedora >= 35,
Mageia Cauldron, and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
As a quick workaround, declare csum_unaligned() as "noipa" for gcc
11 and 12, with -flto and -O2. This disables inlining and cloning,
which causes the assignment to be compiled again.
Leave a TODO item: we should figure out if a gcc issue has already
been reported, and report one otherwise. There's no apparent
justification as to why the store could go away.
