On some systems, user and group "nobody" might not be available. The
new --runas option allows to override the default "nobody" choice if
started as root.
Now that we allow this, drop the initgroups() call that was used to
add any additional groups for the given user, as that might now
grant unnecessarily broad permissions. For instance, several
distributions have a "kvm" group to allow regular user access to
/dev/kvm, and we don't need that in passt or pasta.

This feature is available in slirp4netns but was missing in passt and
pasta.
Given that we don't do dynamic memory allocation, we need to bind
sockets while parsing port configuration. This means we need to
process all other options first, as they might affect addressing and
IP version support. It also implies a minor rework of how TCP and UDP
implementations bind sockets.

We can't take for granted that the hard limit for open files is
big enough as to allow to delay closing sockets to a timer.
Store the value of RTLIMIT_NOFILE we set at start, and use it to
understand if we're approaching the limit with pending, spliced
TCP connections. If that's the case, close sockets right away as
soon as they're not needed, instead of deferring this task to a
timer.

With a lot of concurrent connections, the bitmap scan approach is
not really sustainable.
Switch to per-connection timerfd timers, set based on events and on
two new flags, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE and ACK_TO_TAP_DUE. Timers are added
to the common epoll list, and implement the existing timeouts.
While at it, drop the CONN_ prefix from flag names, otherwise they
get quite long, and fix the logic to decide if a connection has a
local, possibly unreachable endpoint: we shouldn't go through the
rest of tcp_conn_from_tap() if we reset the connection due to a
successful bind(2), and we'll get EACCES if the port number is low.

Using events and flags instead of states makes the implementation
much more straightforward: actions are mostly centered on events
that occurred on the connection rather than states.
An example is given by the ESTABLISHED_SOCK_FIN_SENT and
FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN abominations: we don't actually care about
which side started closing the connection to handle closing of
connection halves.
Split out the spliced implementation, as it has very little in
common with the "regular" TCP path.
Refactor things here and there to improve clarity. Add helpers
to trace where resets and flag settings come from.
No functional changes intended.

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.
For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple
wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.

Two effects:
- ptrace() on passt and pasta can only be done by root, so that even
if somebody gains access to the same user, they won't be able to
check data passed in syscalls anyway. No core dumps allowed either
- /proc/PID files are owned by root:root, and they can't be read by
the same user as the one passt or pasta are running with
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
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.

The existing behaviour is not really practical: an automated agent in
charge of starting both qemu and passt would need to fork itself to
start passt, because passt won't fork to background until qemu
connects, and the agent needs to unblock to start qemu.
Instead of waiting for a connection to daemonise, do it right away as
soon as a socket is available: that can be considered an initialised
state already.

Depending on the C library, but not necessarily in all the
functions we use, statx() might be used instead of stat(),
getdents() instead of getdents64(), readlinkat() instead of
readlink(), openat() instead of open().
On aarch64, it's clone() and not fork(), and dup3() instead of
dup2() -- just allow the existing alternative instead of dealing
with per-arch selections.
Since glibc commit 9a7565403758 ("posix: Consolidate fork
implementation"), we need to allow set_robust_list() for
fork()/clone(), even in a single-threaded context.
On some architectures, epoll_pwait() is provided instead of
epoll_wait(), but never both. Same with newfstat() and
fstat(), sigreturn() and rt_sigreturn(), getdents64() and
getdents(), readlink() and readlinkat(), unlink() and
unlinkat(), whereas pipe() might not be available, but
pipe2() always is, exclusively or not.
Seen on Fedora 34: newfstatat() is used on top of fstat().
syslog() is an actual system call on some glibc/arch combinations,
instead of a connect()/send() implementation.
On ppc64 and ppc64le, _llseek(), recv(), send() and getuid()
are used. For ppc64 only: ugetrlimit() for the getrlimit()
implementation, plus sigreturn() and fcntl64().
On s390x, additionally, we need to allow socketcall() (on top
of socket()), and sigreturn() also for passt (not just for
pasta).

On some distributions, on ppc64, ulimit -s returns 'unlimited': add a
reasonable default, and also make sure ulimit is invoked using the
default shell, which should ensure ulimit is actually implemented.
Also note that AUDIT_ARCH doesn't follow closely the naming reported
by 'uname -m': convert for i386 and ppc as needed.
While at it, move inclusion of seccomp.h after util.h, the former is
less generic (cosmetic/clang-tidy only).
Older kernel headers might lack a definition for AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE:
define that explicitly if it's not available.
