There might be isolated testing environments where default routes and
global connectivity are not needed, a single interface has all
non-loopback addresses and routes, and still passt and pasta are
expected to work.
In this case, it's pretty obvious what our upstream interface should
be, so go ahead and select the only interface with at least one
route, disabling DHCP and implying --no-map-gw as the documentation
already states.
If there are multiple interfaces with routes, though, refuse to start,
because at that point it's really not clear what we should do.

We watch network namespace entries to detect when we should quit
(unless --no-netns-quit is passed), and these might stored in a tmpfs
typically mounted at /run/user/UID or /var/run/user/UID, or found in
procfs at /proc/PID/ns/.
Currently, we try to use inotify for any possible location of those
entries, but inotify, of course, doesn't work on pseudo-filesystems
(see inotify(7)).
The man page reflects this: the description of --no-netns-quit
implies that we won't quit anyway if the namespace is not "bound to
the filesystem".
Well, we won't quit, but, since commit 9e0dbc8948 ("More
deterministic detection of whether argument is a PID, PATH or NAME"),
we try. And, indeed, this is harmless, as the caveat from that
commit message states.
Now, it turns out that Buildah, a tool to create container images,
sharing its codebase with Podman, passes a procfs entry to pasta, and
expects pasta to exit once the network namespace is not needed
anymore, that is, once the original container process, also spawned
by Buildah, terminates.
Get this to work by using the timer fallback mechanism if the
namespace name is passed as a path belonging to a pseudo-filesystem.
This is expected to be procfs, but I covered sysfs and devpts
pseudo-filesystems as well, because nothing actually prevents
creating this kind of directory structure and links there.
Note that fstatfs(), according to some versions of man pages, was
apparently "deprecated" by the LSB. My reasoning for using it is
essentially this:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/f54kudgblgk643u32tb6at4cd3kkzha6hslahv24szs4raroaz@ogivjbfdaqtb/t/#u
...that is, there was no such thing as an LSB deprecation, and
anyway there's no other way to get the filesystem type.
Also note that, while it might sound more obvious to detect the
filesystem type using fstatfs() on the file descriptor itself
(c->pasta_netns_fd), the reported filesystem type for it is nsfs, no
matter what path was given to pasta. If we use the parent directory,
we'll typically have either tmpfs or procfs reported.
If the target namespace is given as a PID, or as a PID-based procfs
entry, we don't risk races if this PID is recycled: our handle on
/proc/PID/ns will always refer to the original namespace associated
with that PID, and we don't re-open this entry from procfs to check
it.
There's, however, a remaining race possibility if the parent process
is not the one associated to the network namespace we operate on: in
that case, the parent might pass a procfs entry associated to a PID
that was recycled by the time we parse it. This can't happen if the
namespace PID matches the one of the parent, because we detach from
the controlling terminal after parsing the namespace reference.
To avoid this type of race, if desired, we could add the option for
the parent to pass a PID file descriptor, that the parent obtained
via pidfd_open(). This is beyond the scope of this change.
Update the man page to reflect that, even if the target network
namespace is passed as a procfs path or a PID, we'll now quit when
the procfs entry is gone.

...or similar, that is, if only excluded ranges are given (implying
we'll forward any other available port). In that case, we'll usually
forward large sets of ports, and it might be inconvenient for the
user to skip excluding single ports that are already taken.
The existing behaviour, that is, exiting only if we fail to bind all
the ports for one given forwarding option, turns out to be
problematic for several aspects raised by Paul:
- Podman merges ranges anyway, so we might fail to bind all the ports
from a specific range given by the user, but we'll not fail anyway
because Podman merges it with another one where we succeed to bind
at least one port. At the same time, there should be no semantic
difference between multiple ranges given by a single option and
multiple ranges given as multiple options: it's unexpected and
not documented
- the user might actually rely on a given port to be forwarded to a
given container or a virtual machine, and if connections are
forwarded to an unrelated process, this might raise security
concerns
- given that we can try and fail to bind multiple ports before
exiting (in case we can't bind any), we don't have a specific error
code we can return to the user, so we don't give the user helpful
indication as to why we couldn't bind ports.
Exit as soon as we fail to create or bind a socket for a given
forwarded port, and report the actual error.
Keep the current behaviour, however, in case the user wants to
forward all the (available) ports for a given protocol, or all the
ports with excluded ranges only. There, it's more reasonable that
the user is expecting partial failures, and it's probably convenient
that we continue with the ports we could forward.
Update the manual page to reflect the new behaviour, and the old
behaviour too in the cases where we keep it.

pasta supports automatic port forwarding, where we look for listening
sockets in /proc/net (in both namespace and outside) and establish port
forwarding to match.
For TCP we do this scan both at initial startup, then periodically
thereafter. For UDP however, we currently only scan at start. So unlike
TCP we won't update forwarding to handle services that start after pasta
has begun.
There's no particular reason for that, other than that we didn't implement
it. So, remove that difference, by scanning for new UDP forwards
periodically too. The logic is basically identical to that for TCP, but it
needs some changes to handle the mildly different data structures in the
UDP case.

I didn't notice earlier: libslirp (and slirp4netns) supports binding
outbound sockets to specific IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, to force the
source addresse selection. If we want to claim feature parity, we
should implement that as well.
Further, Podman supports specifying outbound interfaces as well, but
this is simply done by resolving the primary address for an interface
when the network back-end is started. However, since kernel version
5.7, commit c427bfec18f2 ("net: core: enable SO_BINDTODEVICE for
non-root users"), we can actually bind to a specific interface name,
which doesn't need to be validated in advance.
Implement -o / --outbound ADDR to bind to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses,
and --outbound-if4 and --outbound-if6 to bind IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
to given interfaces.
Given that it probably makes little sense to select addresses and
routes from interfaces different than the ones given for outbound
sockets, also assign those as "template" interfaces, by default,
unless explicitly overridden by '-i'.
For ICMP and UDP, we call sock_l4() to open outbound sockets, as we
already needed to bind to given ports or echo identifiers, and we
can bind() a socket only once: there, pass address (if any) and
interface (if any) for the existing bind() and setsockopt() calls.
For TCP, in general, we wouldn't otherwise bind sockets. Add a
specific helper to do that.
For UDP outbound sockets, we need to know if the final destination
of the socket is a loopback address, before we decide whether it
makes sense to bind the socket at all: move the block mangling the
address destination before the creation of the socket in the IPv4
path. This was already the case for the IPv6 path.

Even if CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is granted, we'll lose the capability in

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

In order to still get KVM acceleration when available, we use the option
"-M accel=kvm:tcg" to tell qemu to try using either KVM or TCG in that
order
A number of the places we invoked "kvm" are expecting specifically an x86

Some others appear to be independent of the target arch (just wanting the

To reach (at least) a conceptually equivalent security level as
implemented by --enable-sandbox in slirp4netns, we need to create a
new mount namespace and pivot_root() into a new (empty) mountpoint, so
that passt and pasta can't access any filesystem resource after
initialisation.
While at it, also detach IPC, PID (only for passt, to prevent
vulnerabilities based on the knowledge of a target PID), and UTS
namespaces.
With this approach, if we apply the seccomp filters right after the
configuration step, the number of allowed syscalls grows further. To
prevent this, defer the application of seccomp policies after the
initialisation phase, before the main loop, that's where we expect bad
things to happen, potentially. This way, we get back to 22 allowed
syscalls for passt and 34 for pasta, on x86_64.
While at it, move #syscalls notes to specific code paths wherever it
conceptually makes sense.
We have to open all the file handles we'll ever need before
sandboxing:
- the packet capture file can only be opened once, drop instance
numbers from the default path and use the (pre-sandbox) PID instead
- /proc/net/tcp{,v6} and /proc/net/udp{,v6}, for automatic detection
of bound ports in pasta mode, are now opened only once, before
sandboxing, and their handles are stored in the execution context
- the UNIX domain socket for passt is also bound only once, before
sandboxing: to reject clients after the first one, instead of
closing the listening socket, keep it open, accept and immediately
discard new connection if we already have a valid one
Clarify the (unchanged) behaviour for --netns-only in the man page.
To actually make passt and pasta processes run in a separate PID
namespace, we need to unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) before forking to
background (if configured to do so). Introduce a small daemon()
implementation, __daemon(), that additionally saves the PID file
before forking. While running in foreground, the process itself can't
move to a new PID namespace (a process can't change the notion of its
own PID): mention that in the man page.
For some reason, fork() in a detached PID namespace causes SIGTERM
and SIGQUIT to be ignored, even if the handler is still reported as
SIG_DFL: add a signal handler that just exits.
We can now drop most of the pasta_child_handler() implementation,
that took care of terminating all processes running in the same
namespace, if pasta started a shell: the shell itself is now the
init process in that namespace, and all children will terminate
once the init process exits.
Issuing 'echo $$' in a detached PID namespace won't return the
actual namespace PID as seen from the init namespace: adapt
demo and test setup scripts to reflect that.

This is actually annoying: there's no way to make it fork into
background when running from a script. However, it's always
possible to keep it in foreground with -f. Make it simpler, and
always fork into background if -f is not given.
