Run functional and performance tests for vhost-user mode as well. For
functional tests, we add passt_vu and passt_vu_in_ns as symbolic links
to their non-vhost-user counterparts, as no differences are intended
but we want to distinguish them in test logs.
For performance tests, instead, we add separate perf/passt_vu_tcp and
perf/passt_vu_udp files, as we need longer test duration, as well as
higher UDP sending bandwidths and larger TCP windows, to actually get
the highest throughput vhost-user mode offers.
For valgrind tests, vhost-user mode needs two extra system calls:
statx and readlink. Add them as EXTRA_SYSCALLS for the valgrind
target.

We pass -I options to cppcheck so that it will find the system headers.
Then we need to pass a bunch more options to suppress the zillions of

It turns out, however, that it's not recommended to give the system headers
to cppcheck anyway. Instead it has built-in knowledge of the ANSI libc and
uses that as the basis of its checks. We do need to suppress
missingIncludeSystem warnings instead though.
Not bothering with the system headers makes the cppcheck runtime go from

Ideally, we'd set the stack size based on an estimate of the actual

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.

Currently we create flows for datagrams from socket interfaces, and use
them to direct "spliced" (socket to socket) datagrams. We don't yet
match datagrams from the tap interface to existing flows, nor create new
flows for them. Add that functionality, matching datagrams from tap to
existing flows when they exist, or creating new ones.
As with spliced flows, when creating a new flow from tap to socket, we
create a new connected socket to receive reply datagrams attached to that
flow specifically. We extend udp_flow_sock_handler() to handle reply
packets bound for tap rather than another socket.
For non-obvious reasons (perhaps increased stack usage?), this caused
a failure for me when running under valgrind, because valgrind invoked
rt_sigreturn which is not in our seccomp filter. Since we already
allow rt_sigaction and others in the valgrind target, it seems

Currently "make cppcheck" invokes cppcheck on ".", so it will check all the

it can find files that aren't actually part of the real build, or even
stale files which aren't in git.
More practically, some upcoming changes are looking at downloading other
source trees for some tests. Static errors in there is Not Our Problem,

So, change the Makefile to invoke cppcheck only on the specific source
files that are part of the build. For some reason in this format the

When we plan to use valgrind, we need to build passt a bit differently:
* We need debug symbols so that valgrind can match problems it finds to
meaningful locations
* We need to allow additional syscalls in the seccomp filter, because
valgrind's wrappers need them
Currently we also disable optimization (-O0). This is unfortunate, because
it will make valgrind tests even slower than they'd otherwise be. Worse,
it's possible that the asm behaviour without optimization might be
different enough that valgrind could miss a use of uninitialized variable
or other fault it would detect.
I suspect this was originally done because without it inlining could mean
that suppressions we use don't reliably match the places we want them to.
Alas, it turns out this is true even with -O0. We've now implemented a
more robust workaround for this (explicit ((noinline)) attributes when
compiled with -DVALGRIND). So, we can re-enable optimization for valgrind
builds, making them closer to regular builds.

valgrind complains if we pass a NULL buffer to recv(), even if we use
MSG_TRUNC, in which case it's actually safe. For a long time we've had
a valgrind suppression for this. It singles out the recv() in
tcp_sock_consume(), the only place we use MSG_TRUNC.
However, tcp_sock_consume() only has a single caller, which makes it a
prime candidate for inlining. If inlined, it won't appear on the stack and
valgrind won't match the correct suppression.
It appears that certain compiler versions (for example gcc-13.2.1 in
Fedora 39) will inline this function even with the -O0 we use for valgrind
builds. This breaks the suppression leading to a spurious failure in the
tests.
There's not really any way to adjust the suppression itself without making
it overly broad (we don't want to match other recv() calls). So, as a hack
explicitly prevent inlining of this function when we're making a valgrind

Strictly speaking this is a gcc extension, but I believe it is also

compilers that don't support it if it comes up.
This exposes some warnings from existing callers, both in gcc and in
clang-tidy:
- Some are straight out bugs, which we correct
- It's occasionally useful to invoke the logging functions with an empty
string, which gcc objects to, so disable that specific warning in the
Makefile
- Strictly speaking the C standard requires that the parameter for a %p
be a (void *), not some other pointer type. That's only likely to cause

a different context to communicate "spliced" channels to a namespace. We

For the time being these are just defined implicitly by how we structure

between those. To accomplish that we're going to want a specific way of
referring to those channels.
Introduce the concept of a "passt/pasta interface" or "pif" representing a
specific channel to communicate network data. Each pif is assumed to be
associated with a specific network namespace in the broad sense (that is
as a place where IP addresses have a consistent meaning - not the Linux
specific sense). But there could be multiple pifs communicating with the

a field of the socket address which clang-tidy erroneously thinks is

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.
Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL
wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt
codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.

A cross-architecture build might pass a target-specific CC on 'make',
and not on 'make install', and this is what happens in Debian
cross-qa tests.
Given that we select binaries to be installed depending on the target
architecture, this means we would build AVX2 binaries in any case on
a x86_64 build machine.
By overriding TARGET in package build rules, we can tell the Makefile
about the target architecture, also for the 'install' (Makefile)
target.
