In order to use the tcpi_snd_wnd field from the TCP_INFO getsockopt() we
need the field to be supported in the runtime kernel (snd_wnd_cap).
In fact we should check that for for every tcp_info field we want to use,
beyond the very old ones shared with BSD. Prepare to do that, by
generalising the probing from setting a single bool to instead record the
size of the returned TCP_INFO structure. We can then use that recorded
value to check for the presence of any field we need.

In the Makefile we probe to create several defines based on the presence
of particular fields in struct tcp_info. These defines are used for two
purposes, neither of which they accomplish well:
1) Determining if the tcp_info fields are available at runtime. For this
purpose the defines are Just Plain Wrong, since the runtime kernel may
not be the same as the compile time kernel. We corrected this for
tcp_snd_wnd, but not for tcpi_bytes_acked or tcpi_min_rtt
2) Allowing the source to compile against older kernel headers which don't
have the fields in question. This works in theory, but it does mean
we won't be able to use the fields, even if later run against a
newer kernel. Furthermore, it's quite fragile: without much more
thorough tests of builds in different environments that we're currently
set up for, it's very easy to miss cases where we're accessing a field
without protection from an #ifdef. For example we currently access
tcpi_snd_wnd without #ifdefs in tcp_update_seqack_wnd().
Improve this with a different approach, borrowed from qemu (which has many
instances of similar problems). Don't compile against linux/tcp.h, using
netinet/tcp.h instead. Then for when we need an extension field, define
a struct tcp_info_linux, copied from the kernel, with all the fields we're
interested in. That may need updating from future kernel versions, but
only when we want to use a new extension, so it shouldn't be frequent.
This allows us to remove the HAS_SND_WND define entirely. We keep
HAS_BYTES_ACKED and HAS_MIN_RTT now, since they're used for purpose (1),
we'll fix that in a later patch.

In tcp_splice_sock_handler(), we try to calculate how much we can move
from the pipe to the writing socket: if we just read some bytes, we'll
use that amount, but if we haven't, we just try to empty the pipe.
However, if we just read something, that doesn't mean that that's all
the data we have on the pipe, as it's obvious from this sequence, where:
pasta: epoll event on connected spliced TCP socket 54 (events: 0x00000001)
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): 98304 from read-side call
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): 33615 from write-side call (passed 98304)
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): -1 from read-side call
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): -1 from write-side call (passed 524288)
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): event at tcp_splice_sock_handler:580
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): OUT_WAIT_0
we first pile up 98304 - 33615 = 64689 pending bytes, that we read but
couldn't write, as the receiver buffer is full, and we set the
corresponding OUT_WAIT flag. Then:
pasta: epoll event on connected spliced TCP socket 54 (events: 0x00000001)
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): 32768 from read-side call
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): -1 from write-side call (passed 32768)
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): event at tcp_splice_sock_handler:580
we splice() 32768 more bytes from our receiving side to the pipe. At
some point:
pasta: epoll event on connected spliced TCP socket 49 (events: 0x00000004)
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): event at tcp_splice_sock_handler:489
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): ~OUT_WAIT_0
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): 1320 from read-side call
Flow 0 (TCP connection (spliced)): 1320 from write-side call (passed 1320)
the receiver is signalling to us that it's ready for more data
(EPOLLOUT). We reset the OUT_WAIT flag, read 1320 more bytes from
our receiving socket into the pipe, and that's what we write to the
receiver, forgetting about the pending 97457 bytes we had, which the
receiver might never get (not the same 97547 bytes: we'll actually
send 1320 of those).
This condition is rather hard to reproduce, and it was observed with
Podman pulling container images via HTTPS. In the traces above, the
client is side 0 (the initiating peer), and the server is sending the
whole data.
Instead of splicing from pipe to socket the amount of data we just
read, we need to splice all the pending data we piled up until that
point. We could do that using 'read' and 'written' counters, but
there's actually no need, as the kernel also keeps track of how much
data is available on the pipe.
So, to make this simple and more robust, just give the whole pipe size
as length to splice(). The kernel knows what to do with it.
Later in the function, we used 'to_write' for an optimisation meant
to reduce wakeups which retries right away to splice() in both
directions if we couldn't write to the receiver the whole amount of
pending data. Calculate a 'pending' value instead, only if we reach
that point.
Now that we check for the actual amount of pending data in that
optimisation, we need to make sure we don't compare a zero or negative
'written' value: if we met that, it means that the receiver signalled
end-of-file, an error, or to try again later. In those three cases,
the optimisation doesn't make any sense, so skip it.

In pasta mode, where addressing permits we "splice" connections, forwarding
directly from host socket to guest/container socket without any L2 or L3
processing. This gives us a very large performance improvement when it's
possible.
Since the traffic is from a local socket within the guest, it will go over
the guest's 'lo' interface, and accordingly we set the guest side address
to be the loopback address. However this has a surprising side effect:
sometimes guests will run services that are only supposed to be used within
the guest and are therefore bound to only 127.0.0.1 and/or ::1. pasta's
forwarding exposes those services to the host, which isn't generally what
we want.
Correct this by instead forwarding inbound "splice" flows to the guest's
external address.

The tests in pasta/tcp and pasta/udp for inbound transfers have the server
listening within the namespace explicitly bound to 127.0.0.1 or ::1. This
only works because of the behaviour of inbound splice connections, which
always appear with both source and destination addresses as loopback in
the namespace. That's not an inherent property for "spliced" connections
and arguably an undesirable one. Also update the test names to make it
clearer that these tests are expecting to exercise the "splice" path.
Interestingly this was already correct for the equivalent passt_in_ns/*,

We usually get away with this, because by the time we do anything where the

Fixed length delays are never a great idea, although this one is pretty
solid. Still, it would be better to explicitly wait for DAD to complete
in case of long delays (which might happen on slow emulated hosts, or with
heavy load), and to speed the tests up if DAD completes quicker.

Starting from commit 9178a9e346 ("tcp: Always send an ACK segment
once the handshake is completed"), we always send an ACK segment,
without any payload, to complete the three-way handshake while
establishing a connection started from a socket.
We queue that segment after checking if we already have data to send
to the tap, which means that its sequence number is higher than any
segment with data we're sending in the same iteration, if any data is
available on the socket.
However, in tcp_defer_handler(), we first flush "flags" buffers, that
is, we send out segments without any data first, and then segments
with data, which means that our "empty" ACK is sent before the ACK
segment with data (if any), which has a lower sequence number.
This appears to be harmless as the guest or container will generally
reorder segments, but it looks rather weird and we can't exclude it's
actually causing problems.
Queue the empty ACK first, so that it gets a lower sequence number,
before checking for any data from the socket.

The sock_l4() function is very convenient for creating sockets bound to
a given address, but its interface has some problems.
Most importantly, the address and port alone aren't enough in some cases.
For link-local addresses (at least) we also need the pif in order to
properly construct a socket adddress. This case doesn't yet arise, but
it might cause us trouble in future.
Additionally, sock_l4() can take AF_UNSPEC with the special meaning that it
should attempt to create a "dual stack" socket which will respond to both
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. This only makes sense if there is no specific
address given. We verify this at runtime, but it would be nicer if we
could enforce it structurally.
For sockets associated specifically with a single flow we already replaced
sock_l4() with flowside_sock_l4() which avoids those problems. Now,
replace all the remaining users with a new pif_sock_l4() which also takes
an explicit pif.
The new function takes the address as an inany *, with NULL indicating the
dual stack case. This does add some complexity in some of the callers,
however future planned cleanups should make this go away again.

ns (splicing) case, because we always listen on loopback. For the !ns

verify.
This is harmless: if addr is non-NULL, sock_l4() will just fail and we'll
fall back to the other path. But, it's messy and makes some upcoming
changes harder, so avoid attempting this in cases we know can't work.

When available, we want to retrieve our socket peer's advertised window and
forward that to the guest. That information has been available from the
kernel via the TCP_INFO getsockopt() since kernel commit 8f7baad7f035.
Currently our probing for this is a bit odd. The HAS_SND_WND define
determines if our headers include the tcp_snd_wnd field, but that doesn't
necessarily mean the running kernel supports it. Currently we start by
assuming it's _not_ available, but mark it as available if we ever see
a non-zero value in the field. This is a bit hit and miss in two ways:
* Zero is perfectly possible window the peer could report, so we can
get false negatives
* We're reading TCP_INFO into a local variable, which might not be zero
initialised, so if the kernel _doesn't_ write it it could have non-zero
garbage, giving us false positives.
We can use a more direct way of probing for this: getsockopt() reports the
length of the information retreived. So, check whether that's long enough
to include the field. This lets us probe the availability of the field
once and for all during initialisation. That in turn allows ctx to become
a const pointer to tcp_prepare_flags() which cascades through many other
functions.
We also move the flag for the probe result from the ctx structure to a

effect. But it doesn't, in general: that only happens with arithmetic
in modulo powers of 2. Undo the swap as well.

cppcheck-2.15.0 has apparently broadened when it throws a warning about
redundant initialization to include some cases where we have an initializer
for some fields, but then set other fields in the function body.
This is arguably a false positive: although we are technically overwriting
the zero-initialization the compiler supplies for fields not explicitly
initialized, this sort of construct makes sense when there are some fields
we know at the top of the function where the initializer is, but others
that require more complex calculation.
That said, in the two places this shows up, it's pretty easy to work
around. The results are arguably slightly clearer than what we had, since
they move the parts of the initialization closer together.
So do that rather than having ugly suppressions or dealing with the
tedious process of reporting a cppcheck false positive.

Currently, for not established connections, we monitor sockets with
edge-triggered events (EPOLLET) if we are in the TAP_SYN_RCVD state
(outbound connection being established) but not in the
TAP_SYN_ACK_SENT case of it (socket is connected, and we sent SYN,ACK
to the container/guest).
While debugging https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=94, I spotted
another possibility for a short EPOLLRDHUP storm (10 seconds), which
doesn't seem to happen in actual use cases, but I could reproduce it:
start a connection from a container, while dropping (using netfilter)
ACK segments coming out of the container itself.
On the server side, outside the container, accept the connection and
shutdown the writing side of it immediately.
At this point, we're in the TAP_SYN_ACK_SENT case (not just a mere
TAP_SYN_RCVD state), we get EPOLLRDHUP from the socket, but we don't
have any reasonable way to handle it other than waiting for the tap
side to complete the three-way handshake. So we'll just keep getting
this EPOLLRDHUP until the SYN_TIMEOUT kicks in.
Always enable EPOLLET when EPOLLRDHUP is the only epoll event we
subscribe to: in this case, getting multiple EPOLLRDHUP reports is
totally useless.
In the only remaining non-established state, SOCK_ACCEPTED, for
inbound connections, we're anyway discarding EPOLLRDHUP events until
we established the conection, because we don't know what to do with
them until we get an answer from the tap side, so it's safe to enable
EPOLLET also in that case.

udp_sock_errs() reads out everything in the socket error queue. However
we've seen some cases[0] where an EPOLLERR event is active, but there isn't
anything in the queue.
One possibility is that the error is reported instead by the SO_ERROR
sockopt. Check for that case and report it as best we can. If we still
get an EPOLLERR without visible error, we have no way to clear the error
state, so treat it as an unrecoverable error.

We can get network errors, usually transient, reported via the socket error
queue. However, at least theoretically, we could get errors trying to
read the queue itself. Since we have no idea how to clear an error
condition in that case, treat it as unrecoverable.

Currently udp_sock_recv() both attempts to clear socket errors and read
a batch of datagrams for forwarding. That made sense initially, since
both listening and reply sockets need to do this. However, we have certain
error cases which will add additional complexity to the error processing.
Furthermore, if we ever wanted to more thoroughly handle errors received
here - e.g. by synthesising ICMP messages on the tap device - it will
likely require different handling for the listening and reply socket cases.
So, split handling of error events into its own udp_sock_errs() function.
While we're there, allow it to report "unrecoverable errors". We don't
have any of these so far, but some cases we're working on might require it.

The details of a flow - endpoints, interfaces etc. - can be pretty
important for debugging. We log this on flow state transitions, but it can
also be useful to log this when we report specific conditions. Add some
helper functions and macros to make it easy to do that.
