Allow to bind IPv4 and IPv6 ports to tap, namespace or init separately.
Port numbers of TCP ports that are bound in a namespace are also bound
for UDP for convenience (e.g. iperf3), and IPv4 ports are always bound
if the corresponding IPv6 port is bound (socket might not have the
IPV6_V6ONLY option set). This will also be configurable later.

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.

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.

Before commit 8f7baad7f035 ("tcp: Add snd_wnd to TCP_INFO"), the
kernel didn't export tcpi_snd_wnd via TCP_INFO, which means we don't
know what's the window size of the receiver, socket-side.
To get TCP connections working in that case, ignore this value if
it's zero during handshake, and use the initial window value as
suggested by RFC 6928 (14 600 bytes, instead of 4 380 bytes), to
keep network performance usable.
To make the TCP dynamic responsive enough in this case, also check
the socket for available data whenever we get an ACK segment from
tap, instead of waiting until all the data from the tap is dequeued.
While at it, fix the window scaling value sent for SYN and SYN, ACK
segments: we want to increase the data pointer after writing the
option, not the value itself.
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
During handshake, the initial SYN, ACK segment to the guest, send as
a response to the SYN segment, needs to report the unscaled value for
the window, given that the handshake hasn't completed yet.
While at it, fix the endianness for the window value in case TCP
parameters can't be queried via TCP_INFO and we need to use the
default value.

and, given that the connection table is indexed by socket number,
we also need to increase MAX_CONNS now as the ICMP implementation
needs 2^17 sockets, that will be opened before TCP connections are
accepted.
This needs to be changed later: the connection table should be
indexed by a translated number -- we're wasting 2^17 table entries
otherwise. Move initialisation of TCP listening sockets as last
per-protocol initialisation, this will make it easier.

As we support UDP forwarding for packets that are sent to local
ports, we actually need some kind of connection tracking for UDP.
While at it, this commit introduces a number of vaguely related fixes
for issues observed while trying this out. In detail:
- implement an explicit, albeit minimalistic, connection tracking
for UDP, to allow usage of ephemeral ports by the guest and by
the host at the same time, by binding them dynamically as needed,
and to allow mapping address changes for packets with a loopback
address as destination
- set the guest MAC address whenever we receive a packet from tap
instead of waiting for an ARP request, and set it to broadcast on
start, otherwise DHCPv6 might not work if all DHCPv6 requests time
out before the guest starts talking IPv4
- split context IPv6 address into address we assign, global or site
address seen on tap, and link-local address seen on tap, and make
sure we use the addresses we've seen as destination (link-local
choice depends on source address). Similarly, for IPv4, split into
address we assign and address we observe, and use the address we
observe as destination
- introduce a clock_gettime() syscall right after epoll_wait() wakes
up, so that we can remove all the other ones and pass the current
timestamp to tap and socket handlers -- this is additionally needed
by UDP to time out bindings to ephemeral ports and mappings between
loopback address and a local address
- rename sock_l4_add() to sock_l4(), no semantic changes intended
- include <arpa/inet.h> in passt.c before kernel headers so that we
can use <netinet/in.h> macros to check IPv6 address types, and
remove a duplicate <linux/ip.h> inclusion

Seen with iperf3 server on tap side: connection state is SOCK_SYN_SENT,
we haven't got an ACK from the tap yet (that's why we're not in

Avoid a bunch of syscalls on forwarding paths by:
- storing minimum and maximum file descriptor numbers for each
protocol, fall back to SO_PROTOCOL query only on overlaps
- allocating a larger receive buffer -- this can result in more
coalesced packets than sendmmsg() can take (UIO_MAXIOV, i.e. 1024),
so make sure we don't exceed that within a single call to protocol
tap handlers
- nesting the handling loop in tap_handler() in the receive loop,
so that we have better chances of filling our receive buffer in
fewer calls
- skipping the recvfrom() in the UDP handler on EPOLLERR -- there's
nothing to be done in that case
and while at it:
- restore the 20ms timer interval for periodic (TCP) events, I
accidentally changed that to 100ms in an earlier commit
- attempt using SO_ZEROCOPY for UDP -- if it's not available,
sendmmsg() will succeed anyway
- fix the handling of the status code from sendmmsg(), if it fails,
we'll try to discard the first message, hence return 1 from the
UDP handler
