When the open() or setns() calls fails pasta exits early and prints an
error. However it did not include the errno so it was impossible to know
why the syscall failed.

When pasta is started from an existing userns and tries to join the
netns from another process it fails to open /proc/$pid/ns/net due the
missing CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability in the --netns-only case.
A simple reproducer for this.
First create a userns:
$ unshare -r
Then create a new netns inside it and try to join that netns with pasta.
$ unshare -n sleep inf &
$ pasta --config-net --netns /proc/$!/ns/net

While --no-copy-addrs and --no-copy-routes only make sense with
--config-net, and they are implied on -g and -a, respectively, that
doesn't mean we should refuse -a or -g without --config-net: they are
still relevant for a number of things (including DHCP/DHCPv6/NDP
configuration).

I wrote it in commit message and man page, but not in conf()...
Note that -g/--gateway correctly implies --no-copy-routes already.
This fixes Podman's tests:
podman networking with pasta(1) - IPv4 address assignment
podman networking with pasta(1) - IPv4 default route assignment
where we pass -a and -g to assign an address and a default gateway
that's compatible with it, but -a doesn't disable the copy of
addresses, so we ignore -a, and the default gateway is incompatible
with the addresses we copy -- hence no routes in the container.

seccomp.sh generates seccomp.h piece by piece using >> directives. This
means that if two instances of seccomp.h are run concurrently a corrupted
version of seccomp.h will be generated. Amongst other problems this can
cause spurious failures on clang-tidy.
Alter seccomp.sh to build the output in a temporary file and atomic move it
to seccomp.h, so concurrent invocations will still result in valud output.

Since commit 0515adceaa8f ("passt, pasta: Namespace-based sandboxing,
defer seccomp policy application"), it makes no sense to close and
reopen the tap device on error: we don't have access to /dev/net/tun
after the initial setup phase.
If we hit ENOBUFS while writing (as reported: in one case because
the kernel actually ran out of memory, with another case under
investigation), or ENOSPC, we're supposed to drop whatever data we
were trying to send: there's no room for it.
Handle EINTR just like we handled EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK: there's no
particular reason why sending the same data should fail again.
Anything else I can think of would be an unrecoverable error: exit
with failure then.
While at it, drop a useless cast on the write() call: it takes a
const void * anyway.

a7359f094898 ("conf: Don't exit if sourced default route has no gateway")
was supposed to allow passt/pasta to run even if given a template interface
which has no default gateway. However a mistake in the patch means it
still requires the gateway, but doesn't require a global address for the
guest which we really do need.
This is one part (but not the only part) of the problem seen in

Normal filesystem paths can be very long (PATH_MAX is around 8k), however
Unix domain sockets can only use relatively short paths (UNIX_PATH_MAX is
108 on Linux). Currently nstool will simply truncate paths that are too
long, leading to difficult to understand failures.
Make such failures clearer, with an explicit error message if given a path
that's too long.

Use the newly-introduced NL_DUP mode for nl_addr() to copy all the
addresses associated to the template interface in the outer
namespace, unless --no-copy-addrs (also implied by -a) is given.
This option is introduced as deprecated right away: it's not expected
to be of any use, but it's helpful to keep it around for a while to
debug any suspected issue with this change.
This is done mostly for consistency with routes. It might partially
cover the issue at:
https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=47
Support multiple addresses per address family
for some use cases, but not the originally intended one: we'll still
use a single outbound address (unless the routing table specifies
different preferred source addresses depending on the destination),
regardless of the address used in the target namespace.

Similarly to what we've just done with routes, support NL_DUP for
addresses (currently not exposed): nl_addr() can optionally copy
mulitple addresses to the target namespace, by fixing up data from
the dump with appropriate flags and interface index, and repeating
it back to the kernel on the socket opened in the target namespace.
Link-local addresses are not copied: the family is set to AF_UNSPEC,
which means the kernel will ignore them. Same for addresses from a
mismatching address (pre-4.19 kernels without support for
NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK).
Ignore IFA_LABEL attributes by changing their type to IFA_UNSPEC,
because in general they will report mismatching names, and we don't
really need to use labels as we already know the interface index.

If we use a template interface without a gateway on the default
route, we can still offer almost complete functionality, except that,
of course, we can't map the gateway address to the outer namespace or
host, and that we have no obvious server address or identifier for
use in DHCP's siaddr and option 54 (Server identifier, mandatory).
Continue, if we have a default route but no default gateway, and
imply --no-map-gw and --no-dhcp in that case. NDP responder and
DHCPv6 should be able to work as usual because we require a
link-local address to be present, and we'll fall back to that.
Together with the previous commits implementing an actual copy of
routes from the outer namespace, this should finally fix the
operation of 'pasta --config-net' for cases where we have a default
route on the host, but no default gateway, as it's the case for
tap-style routes, including typical Wireguard endpoints.

Instead of just fetching the default gateway and configuring a single
equivalent route in the target namespace, on 'pasta --config-net', it
might be desirable in some cases to copy the whole set of routes
corresponding to a given output interface.
For instance, in:
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/18539
IPv4 Default Route Does Not Propagate to Pasta Containers on Hetzner VPSes
configuring the default gateway won't work without a gateway-less
route (specifying the output interface only), because the default
gateway is, somewhat dubiously, not on the same subnet as the
container.
This is a similar case to the one covered by commit 7656a6f88882
("conf: Adjust netmask on mismatch between IPv4 address/netmask and
gateway"), and I'm not exactly proud of that workaround.
We also have:
https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=49
pasta does not work with tap-style interface
for which, eventually, we should be able to configure a gateway-less
route in the target namespace.
Introduce different operation modes for nl_route(), including a new
NL_DUP one, not exposed yet, which simply parrots back to the kernel
the route dump for a given interface from the outer namespace, fixing
up flags and interface indices on the way, and requesting to add the
same routes in the target namespace, on the interface we manage.
For n routes we want to duplicate, send n identical netlink requests
including the full dump: routes might depend on each other and the
kernel processes RTM_NEWROUTE messages sequentially, not atomically,
and repeating the full dump naturally resolves dependencies without
the need to actually calculate them.
I'm not kidding, it actually works pretty well.

In pasta_wait_for_ns(), open() failing with ENOENT is expected: we're
busy-looping until the network namespace appears. But any other
failure is not something we're going to recover from: return right
away if we don't get either success or ENOENT.
Now that pasta_wait_for_ns() can actually fail, handle that in
pasta_start_ns() by reporting the issue and exiting.
Looping on EPERM, when pasta doesn't actually have the permissions to
join a given namespace, isn't exactly a productive thing to do.

If we want /proc contents to be consistent after pasta spawns a child
process in a new PID namespace (only for operation without a
pre-existing namespace), we need to mount /proc after the clone(2)
call with CLONE_NEWPID, and we enable the child to do that by
passing, in the same call, the CLONE_NEWNS flag, as described by
pid_namespaces(7).
This is not really a remount: in fact, passing MS_REMOUNT to mount(2)
would make the call fail. We're in another mount namespace now, so
it's a fresh mount that has the effect of hiding the existing one.

When we receive packets from the tap side, we update the addr_seen fields
to reflect the last known address of the guest or ns. For ip4.addr_seen
we, sensibly, only update if the address we've just seen isn't 0 (0.0.0.0).
This case can occur during early DHCP transactions.
We have no equivalent case for IPv6. We're less likely to hit this,
because DHCPv6 uses link-local addresses, however we can see an source
address of :: with certain multicast operations. This can bite us if we
try to make an incoming connection very early after starting pasta with
--config-net: we may have only seen some of those multicast packets,
updated addr_seen to :: and not had any "real" packets to update it to a
global address. I've seen this with some of the avocado test conversions.
In any case, it can never make sense to update addr_seen to ::, so
explicitly exclude that case.

context_run() has a race condition if two commands are run in close
proximity (generally involving at least one in the background). Because we
always use the same name for the temporary fifo files, if another command
is issued while the fifos for the first still exist, mkfifo will fail,
typically causing the entire test script to jam.

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.

That was meant to be an example, and I just dropped it in the
previous commit -- passt.if should be more than enough as a possible
example.

This was meant to be an example, but I managed to add syntax errors
to it. Drop it altogether.

Somebody might want to bind listening sockets to a specific
interface, but not a specific address, and there isn't really a
reason to prevent that. For example:
-t %eth0/2022
Alternatively, we support options such as -t 0.0.0.0%eth0/2022 and
-t ::%eth0/2022, but not together, for the same port.
Enable this kind of syntax and add examples to the man page.

Since commit cc6d8286d104 ("tcp: Reset ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag only as
needed, update timer"), we don't clear ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE whenever we
process an ACK segment, but, more correctly, only if we're really not
waiting for a further ACK segment, that is, only if the acknowledged
sequence matches what we sent.
In the new function implementing this, tcp_update_seqack_from_tap(),
we also reset the retransmission counter and store the updated ACK
sequence. Both should be done iff forward progress is acknowledged,
implied by the fact that the new ACK sequence is greater than the
one we previously stored.
At that point, it looked natural to also include the statements that
clear and set the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag inside the same conditional
block: if we're not making forward progress, the need for an ACK, or
lack thereof, should remain unchanged.
There might be cases where this isn't true, though: without the
previous commit 4e73e9bd655c ("tcp: Don't special case the handling
of the ack of a syn"), this would happen if a tap-side client
initiated a connection, and the server didn't send any data.
At that point we would never, in the established state of the
connection, call tcp_update_seqack_from_tap() with reported forward
progress.
That issue itself is fixed by the previous commit, now, but clearing
ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE only on ACK sequence progress doesn't really follow
any logic.
Clear the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag regardless of reported forward
progress. If we clear it when it's already unset, conn_flag() will do
nothing with it.
This doesn't fix any known functional issue, rather a conceptual one.

TCP treats the SYN packets as though they occupied 1 byte in the logical
data stream described by the sequence numbers. That is, the very first ACK
(or SYN-ACK) each side sends should acknowledge a sequence number one
greater than the initial sequence number given in the SYN or SYN-ACK it's
responding to.
In passt we were tracking that by advancing conn->seq_to_tap by one when
we send a SYN or SYN-ACK (in tcp_send_flag()). However, we also
initialized conn->seq_ack_from_tap, representing the acks we've already
seen from the tap side, to ISN+1, meaning we treated it has having
acknowledged the SYN before it actually did.
There were apparently reasons for this in earlier versions, but it causes
problems now. Because of this when we actually did receive the initial ACK
or SYN-ACK, we wouldn't see the acknoweldged serial number as advancing,
and so wouldn't clear the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag.
In most cases we'd get away because subsequent packets would clear the
flag. However if one (or both) sides didn't send any data, the other side
would (correctly) keep sending ISN+1 as the acknowledged sequence number,
meaning we would never clear the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag. That would mean
we'd treat the connection as if we needed to retransmit (although we had
0 bytes to retransmit), and eventaully (after around 30s) reset the
connection due to too many retransmits. Specifically this could cause the
iperf3 throughput tests in the testsuite to fail if set for a long enough
test period.
Correct this by initializing conn->seq_ack_from_tap to the ISN and only
advancing it when we actually get the first ACK (or SYN-ACK).

Comments suggest that this should only be called for an ESTABLISHED
connection. However, it's non-trivial to ascertain that from the actual
control flow in the caller. Add an ASSERT() to make it very clear that
this is only called in ESTABLISHED state.
In fact, there were some circumstances where it could be called on a CLOSED
connection. In a sense that is "established", but with that assert this
does require specific (trivial) handling to avoid a spurious abort().

This is mostly symmetric with commit cc6d8286d104 ("tcp: Reset
ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag only as needed, update timer"): we shouldn't
reset the ACK_TO_TAP_DUE flag on any inbound ACK segment, but only
once we acknowledge everything we received from the guest or the
container.
If we don't, a client might unnecessarily hold off further data,
especially during slow start, and in general we won't converge to the
usable bandwidth.
This is very visible especially with traffic tests on links with
non-negligible latency, such as in the reported issue. There, a
public iperf3 server sometimes aborts the test due do what appears to
be a low iperf3's --rcv-timeout (probably less than a second). Even
if this doesn't happen, the throughput will converge to a fraction of
the usable bandwidth.
Clear ACK_TO_TAP_DUE if we acknowledged everything, set it if we
didn't, and reschedule the timer in case the flag is still set as the
timer expires.
While at it, decrease the ACK timer interval to 10ms.
A 50ms interval is short enough for any bandwidth-delay product I had
in mind (local connections, or non-local connections with limited
bandwidth), but here I am, testing 1gbps transfers to a peer with
100ms RTT.
Indeed, we could eventually make the timer interval dependent on the
current window and estimated bandwidth-delay product, but at least
for the moment being, 10ms should be long enough to avoid any
measurable syscall overhead, yet usable for any real-world
application.
