ed63892a16 Clean up passt.pid file
If the tests are interrupted at the right point a passt.pid file can be
left over.  Clean it up with "make clean" and add it to .gitignore so it
doesn't get accidentally committed.

dab2c6ee1f Add cleaner line-by-line reading primitives
Two places in passt need to read files line by line (one parsing
resolv.conf, the other parsing /proc/net/*.  They can't use fgets()
because in glibc that can allocate memory.  Instead they use an
implementation line_read() in util.c.  This has some problems:

 * It has two completely separate modes of operation, one buffering
   and one not, the relation between these and how they're activated
   is subtle and confusing
 * At least in non-buffered mode, it will mishandle an empty line,
   folding them onto the start of the next non-empty line
 * In non-buffered mode it will use lseek() which prevents using this
   on non-regular files (we don't need that at present, but it's a
   surprising limitation)
 * It has a lot of difficult to read pointer mangling

Add a new cleaner implementation of allocation-free line-by-line
reading in lineread.c.  This one always buffers, using a state
structure to keep track of what we need.  This is larger than I'd
like, but it turns out handling all the edge cases of line-by-line
reading in C is surprisingly hard.

This just adds the code, subsequent patches will change the existing
users of line_read() to the new implementation.

2c13f6bead Makefile: Don't create extraneous -.s file
In order to probe availability of certain features the Makefile test
compiles a handful of tiny snippets, feeding those in from stdin.  However
in one case - the one for -fstack-protector - it forgets to redirect the
output to stdout, meaning it creates a stray '-.s' file when make is
invoked (even make clean).

4f95db7945 Makefile: Tweak $(RM) usage
The use of rm commands in the clean and uninstall targets adds an explicit
leading - to ignore errors.  However the built-in RM variable in make is
actually "rm -f" which already ignores errors, so the - isn't neccessary.

Also replace ${RM} with $(RM) which is the more conventional form in
Makefiles.

08007d0b25 Makefile: Avoid using wildcard sources
The passt/pasta Makefile makes fairly heavy use of GNU make's $(wildcard)
function to locate the sources and headers to build.  Using wildcards for
the things to compile is usually a bad idea though: if somehow you end up
with a .c or .h file in your tree you didn't expect it can misbuild in an
exceedingly confusing way.  In particular this can sometimes happen if
switching between releases / branches where files have been added or
removed without 100% cleaning the tree.

It also makes life a bit complicated if building multiple different
binaries in the same tree: we already have some rather awkward
$(filter-out) constructions to avoid including qrap.c in the passt build.

Replace use of $(wildcard) with the more idiomatic approach of defining
variables listing all the relevant source files then using that throughout.
In the rule for seccomp.h there was also a bare "*.c" which caused make to
always rebuild that target.  Fix that as well.

Similarly, seccomp.sh uses a wildcard to locate the sources, which is
unwise for the same reasons.  Make it take the sources to examine on the
command line instead, and have the Makefile pass them in from the same
variables.

721fa1bf5d Makefile: Suppress unusedStructMember Cppcheck warning in dhcp.c
New from Cppcheck 2.8: all the fields of struct msg that are not
directly manipulated are now reported as unused, which is kind of
correct as those fields are used as a blob "copied" from request
to response and not as separate fields.

However, keeping the message composition explicit is probably
desirable, and adding inline suppressions makes the whole thing
rather unreadable, so just suppress unusedStructMember warnings for
dhcp.c, while also adding a suppression for unmatched suppressions
to keep earlier versions of Cppcheck happy.

Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for
distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with
specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains
from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines.

wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.

33482d5bf2 passt: Add PASTA mode, major rework
PASTA (Pack A Subtle Tap Abstraction) provides quasi-native host
connectivity to an otherwise disconnected, unprivileged network
and user namespace, similarly to slirp4netns. Given that the
implementation is largely overlapping with PASST, no separate binary
is built: 'pasta' (and 'passt4netns' for clarity) both link to
'passt', and the mode of operation is selected depending on how the
binary is invoked. Usage example:

	$ unshare -rUn
	# echo $$
	1871759

	$ ./pasta 1871759	# From another terminal

	# udhcpc -i pasta0 2>/dev/null
	# ping -c1 pasta.pizza
	PING pasta.pizza (64.190.62.111) 56(84) bytes of data.
	64 bytes from 64.190.62.111 (64.190.62.111): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=34.6 ms

	--- pasta.pizza ping statistics ---
	1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
	rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 34.575/34.575/34.575/0.000 ms
	# ping -c1 spaghetti.pizza
	PING spaghetti.pizza(2606:4700:3034::6815:147a (2606:4700:3034::6815:147a)) 56 data bytes

	--- spaghetti.pizza ping statistics ---
	1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
	rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 28.967/28.967/28.967/0.000 ms

This entails a major rework, especially with regard to the storage of
tracked connections and to the semantics of epoll(7) references.

Indexing TCP and UDP bindings merely by socket proved to be
inflexible and unsuitable to handle different connection flows: pasta
also provides Layer-2 to Layer-2 socket mapping between init and a
separate namespace for local connections, using a pair of splice()
system calls for TCP, and a recvmmsg()/sendmmsg() pair for UDP local
bindings. For instance, building on the previous example:

	# ip link set dev lo up
	# iperf3 -s

	$ iperf3 -c ::1 -Z -w 32M -l 1024k -P2 | tail -n4
	[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  52.3 GBytes  44.9 Gbits/sec  283             sender
	[SUM]   0.00-10.43  sec  52.3 GBytes  43.1 Gbits/sec                  receiver

	iperf Done.

epoll(7) references now include a generic part in order to
demultiplex data to the relevant protocol handler, using 24
bits for the socket number, and an opaque portion reserved for
usage by the single protocol handlers, in order to track sockets
back to corresponding connections and bindings.

A number of fixes pertaining to TCP state machine and congestion
window handling are also included here.

providing L4-L2 translation functionality without requiring any
security capability.

Conceptually, this follows the design presented at:
	https://gitlab.com/abologna/kubevirt-and-kvm/-/blob/master/Networking.md

The most significant novelty here comes from TCP and UDP translation
layers. In particular, the TCP state and translation logic follows
the intent of being minimalistic, without reimplementing a full TCP
stack in either direction, and synchronising as much as possible the
TCP dynamic and flows between guest and host kernel.

Another important introduction concerns addressing, port translation
and forwarding. The Layer 4 implementations now attempt to bind on
all unbound ports, in order to forward connections in a transparent
way.

While at it:
- the qemu 'tap' back-end can't be used as-is by qrap anymore,
  because of explicit checks now introduced in qemu to ensure that
  the corresponding file descriptor is actually a tap device. For
  this reason, qrap now operates on a 'socket' back-end type,
  accounting for and building the additional header reporting
  frame length

- provide a demo script that sets up namespaces, addresses and
  routes, and starts the daemon. A virtual machine started in the
  network namespace, wrapped by qrap, will now directly interface
  with passt and communicate using Layer 4 sockets provided by the
  host kernel.
