Unfortunately, this partially counters recent efforts by David to
speed up these tests, but it looks like iperf3 clients don't reliably
terminate, in some rare cases I couldn't isolate yet.
For the moment being, reintroduce the time-based wait approach, now
using the configurable test duration, and terminate the servers at
the end of it, in case they're stuck. There's no point in keeping
the 'sleep 2' later, so drop that, and while at it, make sure that
the stuck servers have time to flush the JSON output before we use
it.

It appears that if we run throughput tests with one-second periodic
reports, the sending side of the vhost channel used for SSH-based
command dispatch occasionally stops working altogether. I haven't
investigated this further, all I see is that output is truncated
at some point, and doesn't resume.
If we use gzip compression (ssh -C) this happens less frequently,
but it still happens, seemingly indicating the issue is probably
related to vhost itself.
Disable periodic reports in iperf3 clients. The -i options were
actually redundant, so remove them from both test files as well as
from test_iperf3().

An iperf3 client might fail to send the control message indicating
the end of the test, if the kernel buffer doesn't accept it, and exit
without having sent it, as the control socket is non-blocking. Should
this happen, the server will just wait forever for this message,
instead of terminating.
Restore some of the behaviour that went away with the
"test: Rewrite test_iperf3" patch: instead of waiting on servers to
terminate, wait on the clients. When they are done, wait 2 seconds,
and then send SIGINT to the servers, which make them still write
out the JSON report before terminating.

If we append CFLAGS to the ones passed via command line (if any),

Instead of appending CFLAGS, prepend them by adding all the default

Start cleaning this up by creating a single "state" directory ($STATEBASE)

Clean it up automatically in cleanup() - except when DEBUG==1, because
those files can be useful for debugging test script failures.

as $STATESETUP. We also create subdirectories for each test script and

Extend the context system to allow commands to be run in a namespace

Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
In our test scripts we need to do some ugly parsing of /proc and/or pstree
output in order to get the PIDs of processes running in namespaces so that
we can connect to those namespaces with nsenter or pasta.
This is actually a pretty tricky problem with standard tools. To determine
the PID from the outside of the namespace we need to know how the process
of interest is related to the unshare or pasta process (child? one of
several children? grandchild?) as well as then parsing /proc or ps output.
This is slightly awkward now, and will get worse with future changes I'd
like to make to have processes are dispatched.
The obvious solution would be to have the process of interest (which we
control) report its own PID, but that doesn't work easily, because it is in
a PID namepace and sees only its local PID not the global PID we need to
address it from outside.
To handle this, add a small custom tool, "nsholder". This takes a path
and a mode parameter. In "hold" mode it will create a unix domain socket
bound to the path and listening. In "pid" mode it will get the "hold"ing
process's pid via the unix socket using SO_PEERCRED, which translates
between PID namespaces. In "stop" mode it will send a message to the
socket causing the "hold"ing process to clean up and exit.

We're creating a system for tests to more reliably execute commands in

with both the old-style issuing of commands via typing into and screen
scraping tmux panels, and the new-style system for executing commands in
context.

if the requested context is initialized, but will otherwise fall back to
the old style tmux panel based method. Re-implement the various test DSL

We're moving to a new way of the tests dispatching commands to running in
contexts (host, guest, namespace, etc.). As we make this transition,
though, we still want the user to be able to watch the commands running
in a context, as they previously could from the commands issued in the
pane.
Add a helper to set up a pane to watch a context's log to allow this. In
some cases we currently issue commands from several different logical
contexts in the same pane, so allow a pane to watch several contexts at
once. Also use tail's --retry option to allow starting the watch before
we've initialized the context which will be useful in some cases.

For the tests, we need to run commands in various contexts: in the host,
in a guest or in a namespace. Currently we do this by running each context
in a tmux pane, and using tmux commands to type the commands into the
relevant pane, then screen-scrape the output for the results if we need
them.
This is very fragile, because we have to make various assumptions to parse
the output. Those can break if a shell doesn't have the prompt we expect,
if the tmux pane is too small or in various other conditions.
This starts some library functions for a new "context" system, that
provides a common way to invoke commands in a given context, in a way that

passt/pasta can interact with user namespaces in a number of ways:
1) With --netns-only we'll remain in our original user namespace
2) With --userns or a PID option to pasta we'll join either the given
user namespace or that of the PID
3) When pasta spawns a shell or command we'll start a new user namespace
for the command and then join it
4) With passt we'll create a new user namespace when we sandbox()
ourself
However (3) and (4) turn out to have essentially the same effect. In both
cases we create one new user namespace. The spawned command starts there,
and passt/pasta itself will live there from sandbox() onwards.
Because of this, we can simplify user namespace handling by moving the
userns handling earlier, to the same point we drop root in the original
namespace. Extend the drop_user() function to isolate_user() which does
both.
After switching UID and GID in the original userns, isolate_user() will
either join or create the userns we require. When we spawn a command with
pasta_start_ns()/pasta_setup_ns() we no longer need to create a userns,
because we're already made one. sandbox() likewise no longer needs to
create (or join) an userns because we're already in the one we need.
We no longer need c->pasta_userns_fd, since the fd is only used locally
in isolate_user(). Likewise we can replace c->netns_only with a local
in conf(), since it's not used outside there.
