* 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>
* log: Avoid time_t/__syscall_slong_t format mismatch with long int on X32 ABIStefano Brivio2023-03-171-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On X32 (ILP32 using AMD64 system call ABI) and glibc, struct timespec::tv_nsec is __syscall_slong_t and not a long int, see also https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16437 and timespec(3type). Fine, we could cast that down to long and be done with it. But it turns out that also time_t (not guaranteed to be equivalent to any type) is a long long int, and there we can't downcast. To keep it simple, cast both to long long int, and change formats to %lli, to avoid format warnings from gcc.

* log, conf, tap: Define die() as err() plus exit(), drop cppcheck workaroundsStefano Brivio2023-02-271-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | If we define die() as a variadic macro, passing __VA_ARGS__ to err(), and calling exit() outside err() itself, we can drop the workarounds introduced in commit 36f0199f6ef4 ("conf, tap: Silence two false positive invalidFunctionArg from cppcheck").

* log: Send identifier string in log messages, openlog() won't work for usStefano Brivio2023-02-271-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | openlog() can be used to set "ident" and have all the log messages prefixed by it, but only if we call syslog() -- this is implemented by C libraries. We don't log messages with syslog(), though, as we have a custom implementation to ensure we don't need dynamic memory allocation. This means that it's perfectly useless to call openlog(), and that we have to prefix every message we log by the identifier on our own.

* log: Don't duplicate messages on stderr before daemonisingStefano Brivio2023-02-161-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that logging functions force printing messages to stderr before passt forks to background, we'll have duplicate messages when running from an interactive terminal, or if --stderr is passed, because at some point we set LOG_PERROR in our __openlog() wrapper. We could defer setting LOG_PERROR, but that would change option semantics in other, unexpected ways. We could force calling passt_vsyslog() as long as the mask is set to LOG_EMERG, but that complicates the logic in logging functions even further. Go the easy way for now: don't force printing to stderr with LOG_EMERG if LOG_PERROR is already set. We should seriously consider a rework of those logging functions at this point.

* add die() to log an error message and exit with a single callLaine Stump2023-02-161-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Almost all occurences of err() are either immediately followed by exit(EXIT_FAILURE), usage(argv[0]) (which itself then calls exit(EXIT_FAILURE), or that is what's done immediately after returning from the function that calls err(). Modify the errfn macro so that its instantiations can include exit(EXIT_FAILURE) at the end, and use that to create a new function die() that will log an error and then exit.

* log to stderr until process is daemonized, even if a log file is setLaine Stump2023-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once a log file (specified on the commandline) is opened, the logging functions will stop sending error logs to stderr, which is annoying if passt has been started by another process that wants to collect error messages from stderr so it can report why passt failed to start. It would be much nicer if passt continued sending all log messages to stderr until it daemonizes itself (at which point the process that started passt can assume that it was started successfully). The system log mask is set to LOG_EMERG when the process starts, and we're already using that to do "special" logging during the period from process start until the log level requested on the commandline is processed (setting the log mask to something else). This period *almost* matches with "the time before the process is daemonized"; if we just delay setting the log mask a tiny bit, then it will match exactly, and we can use it to determine if we need to send log messages to stderr even when a log file has been specified and opened. This patch delays the setting of the log mask until immediately before the call to __daemon(). It also modifies logfn() slightly, so that it will log to stderr any time log mask is LOG_EMERG, even if a log file has been opened.

* log, conf: Add support for logging to fileStefano Brivio2022-10-141-18/+240
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some environments, such as KubeVirt pods, we might not have a system logger available. We could choose to run in foreground, but this takes away the convenient synchronisation mechanism derived from forking to background when interfaces are ready. Add optional logging to file with -l/--log-file and --log-size. Unfortunately, this means we need to duplicate features that are more appropriately implemented by a system logger, such as rotation. Keep that reasonably simple, by using fallocate() with range collapsing where supported (Linux kernel >= 3.15, extent-based ext4 and XFS) and falling back to an unsophisticated block-by-block moving of entries toward the beginning of the file once we reach the (mandatory) size limit. While at it, clarify the role of LOG_EMERG in passt.c. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
