If no socket is supplied when enabling "vhost_user=true" on "--net"
follow the "exe" path in the /proc entry for this process and launch the
network backend (via the vmm_path field.)
Currently this only supports creating a new tap interface as the network
backend also only supports that.

If the connection to the backend fails, sleep and retry up to a count.
This failure could happen because the backend is not yet ready to handle
the connection which is a common case when working with a spawned
backend.

It is necessary to do this at the start of the VMM execution rather than
later as it must be done in the main thread in order to satisfy the
checks required by PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS (see proc(5) and
ptrace(2))
The alternative is to run as CAP_SYS_PTRACE but that has its
disadvantages.

This allows the VMM to explicitly shutdown devices as part of the VM
shutdown ahead of what Drop::drop() would do.

Add a build-script to propagate the git commit hash to other crates at
compile time through environment variables, and display the hash along
with the '--version' option.

The placement of the explicit run of "test_vfio" meant it was run with
MMIO rather than PCI which meant it always failed.

Just updating the documentation regarding the pre-creation of a tap
interface supporting multiqueue, by adding what the cloud-hypervisor
--net parameter should look like.
Signed-off-by: Sebastien Boeuf <sebastien.boeuf@intel.com>
By detecting if an existing tap interface supports multiqueue, we now
have the information to determine if the command line parameters
regarding the number of queues is correct.

In order to identify better the problem whenever an existing TAP is
provided, this patch enhances the error returned for an easier
diagnosis of the problem.

test_vfio has been failing consistently on the CI so mark it with
a "#[ignore]" and then forceably build it again but ignore the build
result.

Implement the exit_event() method on the VhostUserBackend trait. It is
necessary to specify a custom exit event id in this case as the loop is
also used for handling activity on the tap file descriptors.

Implement the newly added exit_event() method on the VhostUserBackend
trait to allow the backend to provide an EventFD for triggering an exit
of the worker thread.

Rather than handling the KILL_EVENT in the event handler itself use the
newly added support in VhostUserBackend for providing a kill event
framework.

All backends currently provide their own implementation for triggering
the worker thread to exit via an EventFd. Modify the VhostUserBackend
trait to allow a common implementation strategy that backends can use to
provide an EventFd (and optional id) that can be used to trigger the
worker to exit.

Check the return value from the worker thread by saving the thread
handle and waiting for it to return.

The main thread returns a Result with any errors from it. Although the
error from the join itself was being returned the real error from the
thread was being ignored so ensure that it is forwarded.

This reverts commit 4a1af7f63c.
This change erroneously ignored the return value for the result which
meant that requests to break out of the loop due to a kill event were
lost.

All our tests must be run as root and thus the build directory is owned
by root after we run any of them.
Start another container to fix all permissions whenever we're done with
our tests.

By default we will run as root inside the container, which means all the
build artifacts will be owned by root. That prevents us from properly
cleaning our build from an unprivileged host user.
