We'll deprecate qrap(1) soon, and warnings reported by clang-tidy as
of LLVM versions 16 and later would need a bunch of changes there to
be addressed, mostly around CERT C rule ERR33-C and checking return
code from snprintf().

It makes no sense to fix warnings in qrap just for the sake of it, so
officially declare the bitrotting season open.

<title>tcp: Use runtime tests for TCP_INFO fields</title>

In order to use particular fields from the TCP_INFO getsockopt() we
need them to be in structure returned by the runtime kernel.  We attempt
to determine that with the HAS_BYTES_ACKED and HAS_MIN_RTT defines, probed
in the Makefile.

However, that's not correct, because the kernel headers we compile against
may not be the same as the runtime kernel.  We instead should check against
the size of structure returned from the TCP_INFO getsockopt() as we already
do for tcpi_snd_wnd.  Switch from the compile time flags to a runtime
test.

<title>tcp: Remove compile-time dependency on struct tcp_info version</title>

<content type='text'>
In the Makefile we probe to create several defines based on the presence
of particular fields in struct tcp_info.  These defines are used for two
purposes, neither of which they accomplish well:

1) Determining if the tcp_info fields are available at runtime.  For this
   purpose the defines are Just Plain Wrong, since the runtime kernel may
   not be the same as the compile time kernel. We corrected this for
   tcp_snd_wnd, but not for tcpi_bytes_acked or tcpi_min_rtt

2) Allowing the source to compile against older kernel headers which don't
   have the fields in question.  This works in theory, but it does mean
   we won't be able to use the fields, even if later run against a
   newer kernel.  Furthermore, it's quite fragile: without much more
   thorough tests of builds in different environments that we're currently
   set up for, it's very easy to miss cases where we're accessing a field
   without protection from an #ifdef.  For example we currently access
   tcpi_snd_wnd without #ifdefs in tcp_update_seqack_wnd().

Improve this with a different approach, borrowed from qemu (which has many
instances of similar problems).  Don't compile against linux/tcp.h, using
netinet/tcp.h instead.  Then for when we need an extension field, define
a struct tcp_info_linux, copied from the kernel, with all the fields we're
interested in.  That may need updating from future kernel versions, but
only when we want to use a new extension, so it shouldn't be frequent.

This allows us to remove the HAS_SND_WND define entirely.  We keep
HAS_BYTES_ACKED and HAS_MIN_RTT now, since they're used for purpose (1),
we'll fix that in a later patch.

On some systems source fortification is enabled whenever code
optimization is enabled (e.g. with -O2). Since code fortification
is explicitly enabled too (with possibly different value than the
system wants, there are three levels [1]), distros are required
to patch our Makefile, e.g. [2].

Detect whether fortification is not already enabled and enable it
explicitly only if really needed.

<title>treewide: Allow additional system calls for i386/i686</title>

I haven't tested i386 for a long time (after playing with some
openSUSE i586 image a couple of years ago). It turns out that a number
of system calls we actually need were denied by the seccomp filter,
and not even basic functionality works.

Add some system calls that glibc started using with the 64-bit time
("t64") transition, see also:

  https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time

that is: clock_gettime64, timerfd_gettime64, fcntl64, and
recvmmsg_time64.

Add further system calls that are needed regardless of time_t width,
that is, mmap2 (valgrind profile only), _llseek and sigreturn (common
outside x86_64), and socketcall (same as s390x).

I validated this against an almost full run of the test suite, with
just a few selected tests skipped. Fixes needed to run most tests on
i386/i686, and other assorted fixes for tests, are included in
upcoming patches.

I haven't tested i386 for a long time (after playing with some
openSUSE i586 image a couple of years ago). It turns out that a number
of system calls we actually need were denied by the seccomp filter,
and not even basic functionality works.

Add some system calls that glibc started using with the 64-bit time
("t64") transition, see also:

<title>udp: Find or create flows for datagrams from tap interface</title>

Currently we create flows for datagrams from socket interfaces, and use
them to direct "spliced" (socket to socket) datagrams.  We don't yet
match datagrams from the tap interface to existing flows, nor create new
flows for them.  Add that functionality, matching datagrams from tap to
existing flows when they exist, or creating new ones.

As with spliced flows, when creating a new flow from tap to socket, we
create a new connected socket to receive reply datagrams attached to that
flow specifically. We extend udp_flow_sock_handler() to handle reply
packets bound for tap rather than another socket.

For non-obvious reasons (perhaps increased stack usage?), this caused
a failure for me when running under valgrind, because valgrind invoked
rt_sigreturn which is not in our seccomp filter.  Since we already
allow rt_sigaction and others in the valgrind target, it seems
reasonable to add rt_sigreturn as well.

<title>udp: Create flows for datagrams from originating sockets</title>

This implements the first steps of tracking UDP packets with the flow table
rather than its own (buggy) set of port maps.  Specifically we create flow
table entries for datagrams received from a socket (PIF_HOST or
PIF_SPLICE).

When splitting datagrams from sockets into batches, we group by the flow
as well as splicesrc.  This may result in smaller batches, but makes things
easier down the line.  We can re-optimise this later if necessary.  For now
we don't do anything else with the flow, not even match reply packets to
the same flow.

Move all the TCP parts using internal buffers to tcp_buf.c
and keep generic TCP management functions in tcp.c.
Add tcp_internal.h to export needed functions from tcp.c and
tcp_buf.h from tcp_buf.c

With this change we can use existing TCP functions with a
different kind of memory storage as for instance the shared
memory provided by the guest via vhost-user.
