test: Build and download podman as a test asset

2024-04-05T14:59:16+00:00

The pasta_podman/bats test scrpt downloads and builds podman, then runs its
pasta specific tests.  Downloading from within a test case has some
drawbacks:
 * It can be very tedious if you have poor connectivity to the server
 * It makes a test that's ostensibly for pasta itself dependent on the
   state of the github server
 * It precludes runnning the tests in an isolated network environment

The same concerns largely apply to building podman too, because it's pretty
common for Go builds to download dependencies themselves.  Therefore move
the download and build of podman from the test itself, to the Makefile
where we prepare other test assets.

To avoid cryptic failures if something went wrong with the build, make
running the test dependent on having the built podman binary.

test: Make sure to update mbuto repository

2024-04-05T14:59:13+00:00

We download and use mbuto to build trivial boot images for our VM tests.
However, if mbuto is already cloned, we won't update it to the current
version.  Add some make logic to ensure that we do this.

passt: Relicense to GPL 2.0, or any later version

2023-04-06T16:00:33+00:00

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.

Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL
wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt
codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.

Change licensing terms to the GNU General Public License Version 2,
or any later version, with written permission from all current and
past contributors, namely: myself, David Gibson, Laine Stump, Andrea
Bolognani, Paul Holzinger, Richard W.M. Jones, Chris Kuhn, Florian
Weimer, Giuseppe Scrivano, Stefan Hajnoczi, and Vasiliy Ulyanov.

test: Fedora 32-35 have moved to the archives

2023-02-14T16:25:20+00:00

Fedora 32-35 are now old enough that they're not on all mirrors.  Fetch
them from the archive server instead.

test: Update location for Debian ppc64 images

2023-02-14T16:25:17+00:00

The current debian cloud images no longer include ppc64.  Change to using
the latest snapshot which does include ppc64.

test: Add memory/passt test cases

2022-11-04T11:01:27+00:00

These show a summary of memory usage in kernel and userspace with
different port forwarding configurations, details of userspace usage
using 'nm' (passt only uses statically allocated memory), and details
of kernel memory from slab reporting facilities.

This adds a new test image, mbuto.mem.img, with harcoded IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses and routes, and just the tools we need to start and
stop passt, to report from /proc/slabinfo, /proc/meminfo, and to
print and parse symbol sizes using nm(1).

passt can't pivot_root() for sandboxing purposes on ramfs, so we need
to create another filesystem and chroot into it, first.

We don't want to use pane context functions, as we're checking memory
usage for sockets: resort to screen-scraping.

Configure a dummy interface to provide passt with an appearance of
working IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, contributed by David.

Stricter checking for nsholder.c

2022-09-29T10:22:10+00:00

Add the -Wextra -pedantic and -std=c99 flags when compiling the nsholder
test helper to get extra compiler checks, like we already use for the
main source code.

While we're there, fix some %d (signed) printf descriptors being used
for unsigned values (uid_t and gid_t).  Pointed out by cppcheck.

test: Simplify data handling for transfer tests

2022-09-29T10:21:19+00:00

Many of our tests are based around performing transfers of sample data
across passt/pasta created links.  The data flow here can be a bit
hard to follow since, e.g. we create a file transfer it to the guest,
then transfer it back to the host across several different tests.
This also means that the test cases aren't independent of each other.

Because we don't have the original file available at both ends in some
cases, we compare them by generating md5sums at each end and comparing
them, which is a bit complicated.

Make a number of changes to simplify this:
  1. Pre-generate the sample data files as a test asset, rather than
     building them on the fly during the tests proper
  2. Include the sample data files in the mbuto guest image
  3. Because we have good copies of the original data available in all
     contexts, we can now simply use 'cmp' to check if the transfer
     has worked, avoiding md5sum complications.
  4. Similarly we can always use the original copy of the sample data
     on the send side of each transfer, meaning that the tests become
     more independent of each other.

test: Use context system for guest commands

2022-09-13T03:32:00+00:00

Extends the context system in the test scripts to allow executing commands
within a guest.  Do this without requiring an existing network in the guest
by using socat to run ssh via a vsock connection.

We do need some additional "sleep"s in the tests, because the new
faster dispatch means that sometimes we attempt to connect before
socat has managed to listen.

For now, only use this for the plain "passt" tests.  The "passt_in_ns" and
other tests have additional complications we still need to deal with.
