* passt: Relicense to GPL 2.0, or any later versionStefano Brivio2023-04-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* Make assertions actually usefulDavid Gibson2023-02-121-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some places in passt/pasta which #include <assert.h> and make various assertions. If we hit these something has already gone wrong, but they're there so that we a useful message instead of cryptic misbehaviour if assumptions we thought were correct turn out not to be. Except.. the glibc implementation of assert() uses syscalls that aren't in our seccomp filter, so we'll get a SIGSYS before it actually prints the message. Work around this by adding our own ASSERT() implementation using our existing err() function to log the message, and an abort(). The abort() probably also won't work exactly right with seccomp, but once we've printed the message, dying with a SIGSYS works just as well as dying with a SIGABRT.

* Add cleaner line-by-line reading primitivesDavid Gibson2022-07-061-0/+115
Two places in passt need to read files line by line (one parsing resolv.conf, the other parsing /proc/net/*. They can't use fgets() because in glibc that can allocate memory. Instead they use an implementation line_read() in util.c. This has some problems: * It has two completely separate modes of operation, one buffering and one not, the relation between these and how they're activated is subtle and confusing * At least in non-buffered mode, it will mishandle an empty line, folding them onto the start of the next non-empty line * In non-buffered mode it will use lseek() which prevents using this on non-regular files (we don't need that at present, but it's a surprising limitation) * It has a lot of difficult to read pointer mangling Add a new cleaner implementation of allocation-free line-by-line reading in lineread.c. This one always buffers, using a state structure to keep track of what we need. This is larger than I'd like, but it turns out handling all the edge cases of line-by-line reading in C is surprisingly hard. This just adds the code, subsequent patches will change the existing users of line_read() to the new implementation. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
