On x32, glibc defines time_t and suseconds_t (the latter, also known as
__syscall_slong_t) as unsigned long long, whereas "everywhere else",
including x86_64 and i686, those are unsigned long.
See also https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16437 for
all the gory details.

If we run passt nested (a guest connected via passt to a guest
connected via passt to the host), the first guest (L1) typically has
two IPv6 addresses on the same interface: one formed from the prefix
assigned via SLAAC, and another one assigned via DHCPv6 (to match the
address on the host).
When we select addresses for comparison, in this case, we have
multiple global unicast addresses -- again, on the same interface.
Selecting the first reported one on both host and guest is not
entirely correct (in theory, the order might differ), but works
reasonably well.
Use the trick from 5beef085978e ("test: Only select a single
interface or gateway in tests") to ask jq(1) for the first address
returned by the query.

Currently, we have no mechanism to dynamically update IPv6
addressing, routing or DNS information (which should eventually be
implemented via netlink monitor), so it makes no sense to limit
lifetimes of NDP information to any particular value.
If we do, with common configurations of systemd-networkd in a guest,
we can end up in a situation where we have a /128 address assigned
via DHCPv6, the NDP-assigned prefix expires, and the default route
also expires. However, as there's a valid address, the prefix is
not renewed. As a result, the default route becomes invalid and we
lose it altogether, which implies that the guest loses IPv6
connectivity except for link-local communication.
Set the router lifetime to the maximum allowed by RFC 8319, that is,
65535 seconds (about 18 hours). RFC 4861 limited this value to 9000
seconds, but RFC 8319 later updated this limit.
Set prefix and DNS information lifetime to infinity. This is allowed
by RFC 4861 and RFC 8319.

When using the old-style "pane" methods of executing commands during the
tests, we need to scan the shell output for prompts in order to tell when
commands have finished. This is inherently unreliable because commands
could output things that look like prompts, and prompts might not look like
we expect them to. The only way to really fix this is to use a better way
of dispatching commands, like the newer "context" system.
However, it's awkward to convert everything to "context" right at the
moment, so we're still relying on some tests that do work most of the time.
It is, however, particularly sensitive to fancy coloured prompts using
escape sequences. Currently we try to handle this by stripping actual
ESC characters with tr, then looking for some common variants.
We can do a bit better: instead strip all escape sequences using sed before
looking for our prompt. Or, at least, any one using [a-zA-Z] as the
terminating character. Strictly speaking ANSI escapes can be terminated by
any character in 0x40..0x7e, which isn't easily expressed in a regexp.
This should capture all common ones, though.
With this transformation we can simplify the list of patterns we then look
for as a prompt, removing some redundant variants.

When a TCP connection is closed, we mark it by setting events to CLOSED,
then some time later we do final cleanups: closing sockets, removing from
the hash table and so forth.
This does mean that when making a hash lookup we need to exclude any
apparent matches that are CLOSED, since they represent a stale connection.
This can happen in practice if one connection closes and a new one with the
same endpoints is started shortly afterward.
Checking for CLOSED is quite specific to TCP however, and won't work when
we extend the hash table to more general flows. So, alter the code to
immediately remove the connection from the hash table when CLOSED, although
we still defer closing sockets and other cleanup.

The TCP state structure includes a 128-bit hash_secret which we use for
SipHash calculations to mitigate attacks on the TCP hash table and initial
sequence number.
We have plans to use SipHash in places that aren't TCP related, and there's
no particular reason they'd need their own secret. So move the hash_secret
to the general context structure.

Future debugging will want to identify a specific passt interface. We make
a distinction in these helpers between the name of the *type* of pif, and
name of the pif itself. For the time being these are always the same
thing, since we have at most instance of each type of pif. However, that
might change in future.

In test/prepare-distro-img.sh we use guestfish to tweak our distro guest
images to be suitable. Part of this is using a 'copy-in' directive to copy
in the source files for passt itself. Currently we copy in all the files
with a single 'copy-in', since it allows listing multiple files. However
it turns out that the number of arguments it can accept is fairly limited
and our current list of files is already very close to that limit.
Instead, expand our list of files to one copy-in per file, avoiding that
limitation. This isn't much slower, because all the commands still run in
a single invocation of guestfish itself.

Currently TCP uses the 'flow' epoll_ref field for both connected
sockets and timers, which consists of just the index of the relevant
flow (connection).
This is just fine for timers, for while it obviously works, it's
subtly incomplete for sockets on spliced connections. In that case we
want to know which side of the connection the event is occurring on as
well as which connection. At present, we deduce that information by
looking at the actual fd, and comparing it to the fds of the sockets
on each side.
When we use the flow table for more things, we expect more cases where
something will need to know a specific side of a specific flow for an
event, but nothing more.
Therefore add a new 'flowside' epoll_ref field, with exactly that
information. We use it for TCP connected sockets. This allows us to
directly know the side for spliced connections. For "tap"
connections, it's pretty meaningless, since the side is always the
socket side. It still makes logical sense though, and it may become
important for future flow table work.

Currently, we use 'int' values to represent the "side" of a connection,
which must always be 0 or 1. This turns out to be dangerous.
In some cases we're going to want to put the side into a 1-bit bitfield.
However, if that bitfield has type 'int', when we copy it out to a regular
'int' variable, it will be sign-extended and so have values 0 and -1,
instead of 0 and 1.
To avoid this, always use unsigned variables for the side.

TCP uses three different epoll object types: one for connected sockets, one
for timers and one for listening sockets. Listening sockets really need
information that's specific to TCP, so need their own epoll_ref field.
Timers and connected sockets, however, only need the connection (flow)
they're associated with. As we expand the use of the flow table, we expect
that to be true for more epoll fds. So, rename the "TCP" epoll_ref field
to be a "flow" epoll_ref field that can be used both for TCP and for other
future cases.

In a number of places, we use indices into the flow table to identify a
specific flow. We also have cases where we need to identify a particular
side of a particular flow, and we expect those to become more common as
we generalise the flow table to cover more things.
To assist with that, introduces flow_sidx_t, an index type which identifies
a specific side of a specific flow in the table.

Most of the messages logged by the TCP code (be they errors, debug or
trace messages) are related to a specific connection / flow. We're fairly
consistent about prefixing these with the type of connection and the
connection / flow index. However there are a few places where we put the
index later in the message or omit it entirely. The template with the
prefix is also a little bulky to carry around for every message,
particularly for spliced connections.
To help keep this consistent, introduce some helpers to log messages
linked to a specific flow. It takes the flow as a parameter and adds a
uniform prefix to each message. This makes things slightly neater now, but
more importantly will help keep formatting consistent as we add more things
to the flow table.

tcp_table_compact() will move entries in the connection/flow table to keep
it compact when other entries are removed. The moved entries need not have
the same type as the flow removed, so it needs to be able to handle moving

purportedly TCP specific.

MAX_FROM_BITS() computes the maximum value representable in a number of
bits. The expression for that is an unsigned value, but we explicitly cast
it to a signed int. It looks like this is because one of the main users is
for FD_REF_MAX, which is used to bound fd values, typically stored as a
signed int.
The value MAX_FROM_BITS() is calculating is naturally non-negative, though,
so it makes more sense for it to be unsigned, and to move the case to the
definition of FD_REF_MAX.

Both tcp.c and tcp_splice.c define CONN_IDX() variants to find the index
of their connection structures in the connection table, now become the
unified flow table. We can easily combine these into a common helper.
While we're there, add some trickery for some additional type safety.
They also define their own CONN() versions, which aren't so easily combined
since they need to return different types, but we can have them use a
common helper.
In the process, we standardise on always using an unsigned type to store
the connection / flow index, which makes more sense. tcp.c's conn_at_idx()
remains for now, but we change its parameter to unsigned to match. That in
turn means we can remove a check for negative values from it.

table to the "flow table" and moving it to flow.c. The definitions are
split between flow.h and flow_table.h - we need this separation to avoid
circular dependencies: the definitions in flow.h will be needed by many

rest of the contents of the structure. We want to generalise the TCP

A while ago, we updated passt to require C11, for several reasons, but one
was to be able to use static_assert() for build time checks. The C11
version of static_assert() requires a message to print in case of failure
as well as the test condition it self. It was extended in C23 to make the
message optional, but we don't want to require C23 at this time.
Unfortunately we missed that in some of the static_assert()s we already
added which use the C23 form without a message. clang-tidy has a warning
for this, but for some reason it's not seeming to trigger in the current
cases (but did for some I'm working on adding).

According to gcc, PRIu32 matches the type of the argument we're
printing here on both 64 and 32-bits architectures. According to
Clang, though, that's not the case, as the result of the sum is an

Use the z modifier, given that we're summing uint32_t to size_t, and

When pasta periodically scans bound ports and binds them on the other
side in order to forward traffic, we bind UDP ports for corresponding
TCP port numbers, too, to support protocols and applications such as
iperf3 which use UDP port numbers matching the ones used by the TCP
data connection.
If we scan UDP ports in order to bind UDP ports, we skip detection of
the UDP ports we already bound ourselves, to avoid looping back our
own ports. Same with scanning and binding TCP ports.
But if we scan for TCP ports in order to bind UDP ports, we need to
skip bound TCP ports too, otherwise, as David pointed out:
- we find a bound TCP port on side A, and bind the corresponding TCP
and UDP ports on side B
- at the next periodic scan, we find that UDP port bound on side B,
and we bind the corresponding UDP port on side A
- at this point, we unbind that UDP port on side B: we would
otherwise loop back our own port.
To fix this, we need to avoid binding UDP ports that we already
bound, on the other side, as a consequence of finding a corresponding
bound TCP port.
Reproducing this issue is straightforward:
./pasta -- iperf3 -s
# Wait one second, then from another terminal:
iperf3 -c ::1 -u

When we plan to use valgrind, we need to build passt a bit differently:
* We need debug symbols so that valgrind can match problems it finds to
meaningful locations
* We need to allow additional syscalls in the seccomp filter, because
valgrind's wrappers need them
Currently we also disable optimization (-O0). This is unfortunate, because
it will make valgrind tests even slower than they'd otherwise be. Worse,
it's possible that the asm behaviour without optimization might be
different enough that valgrind could miss a use of uninitialized variable
or other fault it would detect.
I suspect this was originally done because without it inlining could mean
that suppressions we use don't reliably match the places we want them to.
Alas, it turns out this is true even with -O0. We've now implemented a
more robust workaround for this (explicit ((noinline)) attributes when
compiled with -DVALGRIND). So, we can re-enable optimization for valgrind
builds, making them closer to regular builds.

valgrind complains if we pass a NULL buffer to recv(), even if we use
MSG_TRUNC, in which case it's actually safe. For a long time we've had
a valgrind suppression for this. It singles out the recv() in
tcp_sock_consume(), the only place we use MSG_TRUNC.
However, tcp_sock_consume() only has a single caller, which makes it a
prime candidate for inlining. If inlined, it won't appear on the stack and
valgrind won't match the correct suppression.
It appears that certain compiler versions (for example gcc-13.2.1 in
Fedora 39) will inline this function even with the -O0 we use for valgrind
builds. This breaks the suppression leading to a spurious failure in the
tests.
There's not really any way to adjust the suppression itself without making
it overly broad (we don't want to match other recv() calls). So, as a hack
explicitly prevent inlining of this function when we're making a valgrind
build. To accomplish this add an explicit -DVALGRIND when making such a
build.

pasta supports automatic port forwarding, where we look for listening
sockets in /proc/net (in both namespace and outside) and establish port
forwarding to match.
For TCP we do this scan both at initial startup, then periodically
thereafter. For UDP however, we currently only scan at start. So unlike
TCP we won't update forwarding to handle services that start after pasta
has begun.
There's no particular reason for that, other than that we didn't implement
it. So, remove that difference, by scanning for new UDP forwards
periodically too. The logic is basically identical to that for TCP, but it
needs some changes to handle the mildly different data structures in the
UDP case.

tcp_port_rebind() is desgined to be called from NS_CALL() and has two
disjoint cases: one where it enters the namespace (outbound forwards) and
one where it doesn't (inbound forwards).
We only actually need the NS_CALL() framing for the outbound case, for
inbound we can just call tcp_port_do_rebind() directly. So simplify
tcp_port_rebind() to tcp_port_rebind_outbound(), allowing us to eliminate
an awkward parameters structure.
With that done we can safely rename tcp_port_do_rebind() to
tcp_port_rebind() for brevity.

clang-tidy from LLVM 17.0.3 (which is in Fedora 39) includes a new
"misc-include-cleaner" warning that tries to make sure that headers
*directly* provide the things that are used in the .c file. That sounds
great in theory but is in practice unusable:
Quite a few common things in the standard library are ultimately provided
by OS-specific system headers, but for portability should be accessed via
closer-to-standardised library headers. This will warn constantly about
such cases: e.g. it will want you to include <linux/limits.h> instead of
<limits.h> to get PATH_MAX.
So, suppress this warning globally in the Makefile.

tap_send_frames_pasta() sends frames to the namespace by sending them to
our the /dev/tap device. If that write() returns an error, we already
handle it. However we don't handle the case where the write() returns
short, meaning we haven't successfully transmitted the whole frame.
I don't know if this can ever happen with the kernel tap device, but we
should at least report the case so we don't get a cryptic failure. For
the purposes of the return value for tap_send_frames_pasta() we treat this
case as though it was an error (on the grounds that a partial frame is no
use to the namespace).

Since a469fc39 ("tcp, tap: Don't increase tap-side sequence counter for
dropped frames") we've handled more gracefully the case where we get data
from the socket side, but are temporarily unable to send it all to the tap
side (e.g. due to full buffers).
That code relies on tap_send_frames() returning the number of frames it
successfully sent, which in turn gets it from tap_send_frames_passt() or
tap_send_frames_pasta().
While tap_send_frames_passt() has returned that information since b62ed9ca
("tap: Don't pcap frames that didn't get sent"), tap_send_frames_pasta()
always returns as though it succesfully sent every frame. However there
certainly are cases where it will return early without sending all frames.
Update it report that properly, so that the calling functions can handle it
properly.

On the L2 tap side, we see TCP headers and know the TCP window that the
ultimate receiver is advertising. In order to avoid unnecessary buffering
within passt/pasta (or by the kernel on passt/pasta's behalf) we attempt
to advertise that window back to the original sock-side sender using
TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP.
However, TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP just doesn't work like this. Prior to kernel
commit 3aa7857fe1d7 ("tcp: enable mid stream window clamp"), it simply
had no effect on established sockets. After that commit, it does affect
established sockets but doesn't behave the way we need:
* It appears to be designed only to shrink the window, not to allow it to
re-expand.
* More importantly, that commit has a serious bug where if the
setsockopt() is made when the existing kernel advertised window for the
socket happens to be zero, it will now become locked at zero, stopping
any further data from being received on the socket.
Since this has never worked as intended, simply remove it. It might be
possible to re-implement the intended behaviour by manipulating SO_RCVBUF,
so we leave a comment to that effect.
This kernel bug is the underlying cause of both the linked passt bug and
the linked podman bug. We attempted to fix this before with passt commit
d3192f67 ("tcp: Force TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP before resetting STALLED flag").
However while that commit masked the bug for some cases, it didn't really
address the problem.

tcp_clamp_window() is _mostly_ about using TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP to control the
sock side advertised window, but it is also responsible for actually
updating the conn->wnd_from_tap value.
Rename to tcp_tap_window_update() to reflect that broader purpose, and pull
the logic that's not TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP related out to the front.

If passt is started with --fd to talk over a pre-opened UNIX domain
socket, we don't really know what label might be associated to it,
but at least for an unconfined_t socket, this bit of policy wouldn't
belong to anywhere else: enable that here.
This is rather loose, of course, but on the other hand passt will
sandbox itself into an empty filesystem, so we're not really adding
much to the attack surface except for what --fd is supposed to do.

According to C99, 7.15.1:
Each invocation of the va_start and va_copy macros shall be matched
by a corresponding invocation of the va_end macro in the same
function
and the same applies to C11. I still have to come across a platform
where va_end() actually does something, but thus spake the standard.

This is a minimal fix for what would be reported by Coverity as
"Improper use of negative value" (CWE-394): port_fwd_init() doesn't
guarantee that all the pre-opened file handles are actually valid.
We should probably warn on failing open() and open_in_ns() in
port_fwd_init(), too, but that's outside the scope of this minimal
fix.

For the TCP throughput tests, we use iperf3's -O "omit" option which
ignores results for the given time at the beginning of the test. Currently
we calculate this as 1/6th of the test measurement time. The purpose of
-O, however, is to skip over the TCP slow start period, which in no way
depends on the overall length of the test.
The slow start time is roughly speaking
log_2 ( max_window_size / MSS ) * round_trip_time
These factors all vary between tests and machines we're running on, but we
can estimate some reasonable bounds for them:
* The maximum window size is bounded by the buffer sizes at each end,
which shouldn't exceed 16MiB
* The mss varies with the MTU we use, but the smallest we use in tests is
~256 bytes
* Round trip time will vary with the system, but with these essentially
local transfers it will typically be well under 1ms (on my laptop it is
closer to 0.03ms)
That gives a worst case slow start time of about 16ms. Setting an omit
time of 0.1s uniformly is therefore more than enough, and substantially
smaller than what we calculate now for the default case (10s / 6 ~= 1.7s).
This reduces total time for the standard benchmark run by around 30s.

We always set --pacing-timer when invoking iperf3. However, the iperf3
man page implies this is only relevant for the -b option. We only use the
-b option for the UDP tests, not TCP, so remove --pacing-timer from the TCP
cases.

The TCP packet size used on the passt L2 link (qemu socket) makes a huge
difference to passt/pasta throughput; many of passt's overheads (chiefly
syscalls) are per-packet.
That packet size is largely determined by the MTU on the L2 link, so we
benchmark for a number of different MTUs. That works well for the guest to
host transfers. For the host to guest transfers, we purport to test for
different MTUs, but we're not actually adjusting anything interesting.
The host to guest transfers adjust the MTU on the "host's" (actually ns)
loopback interface. However, that only affects the packet size for the
socket going to passt, not the packet size for the L2 link that passt
manages - passt can and will repack the stream into packets of its own
size. Since the depacketization on that socket is handled by the kernel it
doesn't have a lot of bearing on passt's performance.
We can't fix this by changing the L2 link MTU from the guest side (as we do
for guest to host), because that would only change the guest's view of the
MTU, passt would still think it has the large MTU. We could test this by
using the --mtu option to passt, but that would require restarting passt
for each run, which is awkward in the current setup. So, for now, drop all
the "small MTU" tests for host to guest.

Packet size can make a big difference to UDP throughput, so it makes sense
to measure it for a variety of different sizes. Currently we do this by
adjusting the MTU on the relevant interface before running iperf3.
However, the UDP packet size has no inherent connection to the MTU - it's
controlled by the sender, and the MTU just affects whether the packet will
make it through or be fragmented. The only reason adjusting the MTU works
is because iperf3 bases its default packet size on the (path) MTU.
We can test this more simply by using the -l option to the iperf3 client
to directly control the packet size, instead of adjusting the MTU.
As well as simplifying this lets us test different packet sizes for host to
ns traffic. We couldn't do that previously because we don't have
permission to change the MTU on the host.

Currently we make TCP throughput measurements for spliced connections with
a number of different MTU values. However, the results from this aren't
really interesting.
Unlike with tap connections, spliced connections only involve the loopback
interface on host and container, not a "real" external interface. lo
typically has an MTU of 65535 and there is very little reason to ever
change that. So, the measurements for smaller MTUs are rarely going to be
relevant.
In addition, the fact that we can offload all the {de,}packetization to the
kernel with splice(2) means that the throughput difference between these
MTUs isn't very great anyway.
Remove the short MTUs and only show spliced throughput for the normal
65535 byte loopback MTU. This reduces runtime of the performance tests on
my laptop by about 1 minute (out of ~24 minutes).

Currently we start both the iperf3 server(s) and client(s) afresh each time
we want to make a bandwidth measurement. That's not really necessary as
usually a whole batch of bandwidth measurements can use the same server.
Split up the iperf3 directive into 3 directives: iperf3s to start the
server, iperf3 to make a measurement and iperf3k to kill the server, so
that we can start the server less often. This - and more importantly, the
reduced number of waits for the server to be ready - reduces runtime of the
performance tests on my laptop by about 4m (out of ~28minutes).
For now we still restart the server between IPv4 and IPv6 tests. That's
because in some cases the latency measurements we make in between use the
same ports.

iperf3 generates statistics about its run on both the client and server
sides. They don't have exactly the same information, but both have the
pieces we need (AFAICT the server communicates some nformation to the
client over the control socket, so the most important information is in the
client side output, even if measured by the server).
Currently we use the server side information for our measurements. Using
the client side information has several advantages though:
* We can directly wait for the client to complete and we know we'll have
the output we want. We don't need to sleep to give the server time to
write out the results.
* That in turn means we can wrap up as soon as the client is done, we
don't need to wait overlong to make sure everything is finished.
* The slightly different organisation of the data in the client output
means that we always want the same json value, rather than requiring
slightly different onces for UDP and TCP.
The fact that we avoid some extra delays speeds up the overal run of the
perf tests by around 7 minutes (out of around 35 minutes) on my laptop.
The fact that we no longer unconditionally kill client and server after
a certain time means that the client could run indefinitely if the server
doesn't respond. We mitigate that by setting 1s connect timeout on the
client. This isn't foolproof - if we get an initial response, but then
lose connectivity this could still run indefinitely, however it does cover
by far the most likely failure cases. --snd-timeout would provide more
robustness, but I've hit odd failures when trying to use it.
