* Add csum_ip4_header() helper to calculate IPv4 header checksumsDavid Gibson2022-10-191-2/+1
| | | | | | | | We calculate IPv4 header checksums in at least two places, in dhcp() and in tap_ip_send. Add a helper to handle this calculation in both places. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* Add csum_udp4() helper for calculating UDP over IPv4 checksumsDavid Gibson2022-10-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | At least two places in passt fill in UDP over IPv4 checksums, although since UDP checksums are optional with IPv4 that just amounts to storing a 0 (in tap_ip_send()) or leaving a 0 from an earlier initialization (in dhcp()). For consistency, add a helper for this "calculation". Just for the heck of it, add the option (compile time disabled for now) to calculate real UDP checksums.

* Add csum_udp6() helper for calculating UDP over IPv6 checksumsDavid Gibson2022-10-191-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a helper for calculating UDP checksums when used over IPv6 For future flexibility, the new helper takes parameters for the fields in the IPv6 pseudo-header, so an IPv6 header or pseudo-header doesn't need to be explicitly constructed. It also allows the UDP header and payload to be in separate buffers, although we don't use this yet.

* Add csum_icmp4() helper for calculating ICMP checksumsDavid Gibson2022-10-191-3/+1

* conf: Bind inbound ports with CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE before isolate_user()Stefano Brivio2022-10-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even if CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is granted, we'll lose the capability in the target user namespace as we isolate the process, which means we're unable to bind to low ports at that point. Bind inbound ports, and only those, before isolate_user(). Keep the handling of outbound ports (for pasta mode only) after the setup of the namespace, because that's where we'll bind them. To this end, initialise the netlink socket for the init namespace before isolate_user() as well, as we actually need to know the addresses of the upstream interface before binding ports, in case they're not explicitly passed by the user. As we now call nl_sock_init() twice, checking its return code from conf() twice looks a bit heavy: make it exit(), instead, as we can't do much if we don't have netlink sockets. While at it: - move the v4_only && v6_only options check just after the first option processing loop, as this is more strictly related to option parsing proper - update the man page, explaining that CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is *not* the preferred way to bind ports, because passt and pasta can be abused to allow other processes to make effective usage of it. Add a note about the recommended sysctl instead - simplify nl_sock_init_do() now that it's called once for each case Reported-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tap: Don't check sequence counts when adding packets to poolStefano Brivio2022-10-151-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | This is a minor optimisation possibility I spotted while trying to debug a hang in tap4_handler(): if we run out of space for packet sequences, it's fine to add packets to an existing per-sequence pool. We should check the count of packet sequences only once we realise that we actually need a new packet sequence. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* Make substructures for IPv4 and IPv6 specific context informationDavid Gibson2022-07-301-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | The context structure contains a batch of fields specific to IPv4 and to IPv6 connectivity. Split those out into a sub-structure. This allows the conf_ip4() and conf_ip6() functions, which take the entire context but touch very little of it, to be given more specific parameters, making it clearer what it affects without stepping through the code.

* Separate IPv4 and IPv6 configurationDavid Gibson2022-07-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After recent changes, conf_ip() now has essentially entirely disjoint paths for IPv4 and IPv6 configuration. So, it's cleaner to split them out into different functions conf_ip4() and conf_ip6(). Splitting these out also lets us make the interface a bit nicer, having them return success or failure directly, rather than manipulating c->v4 and c->v6 to indicate success/failure of the two versions. Since these functions may also initialize the interface index for each protocol, it turns out we can then drop c->v4 and c->v6 entirely, replacing tests on those with tests on whether c->ifi4 or c->ifi6 is non-zero (since a 0 interface index is never valid).

* Move passt mac_guest init to be more symmetric with pastaDavid Gibson2022-07-301-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pasta mode, the guest's MAC address is set up in pasta_ns_cobf() called from tap_sock_tun_init(). If we have a guest MAC configured with --ns-mac-addr, this will set the given MAC on the kernel tuntap device, or if we haven't configured one it will update our record of the guest MAC to the kernel assigned one from the device. For passt, we don't initially know the guest's MAC until we receive packets from it, so we have to initially use a broadcast address. This is - oddly - set up in an entirely different place, in conf_ip() conditional on the mode. Move it to the logically matching place for passt - tap_sock_unix_init().

* treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checksStefano Brivio2022-03-291-163/+168
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a packet abstraction providing boundary and size checks based on packet descriptors: packets stored in a buffer can be queued into a pool (without storage of its own), and data can be retrieved referring to an index in the pool, specifying offset and length. Checks ensure data is not read outside the boundaries of buffer and descriptors, and that packets added to a pool are within the buffer range with valid offset and indices. This implies a wider rework: usage of the "queueing" part of the abstraction mostly affects tap_handler_{passt,pasta}() functions and their callees, while the "fetching" part affects all the guest or tap facing implementations: TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, NDP, DHCP and DHCPv6 handlers.

* tcp: Rework timers to use timerfd instead of periodic bitmap scanStefano Brivio2022-03-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With a lot of concurrent connections, the bitmap scan approach is not really sustainable. Switch to per-connection timerfd timers, set based on events and on two new flags, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE and ACK_TO_TAP_DUE. Timers are added to the common epoll list, and implement the existing timeouts. While at it, drop the CONN_ prefix from flag names, otherwise they get quite long, and fix the logic to decide if a connection has a local, possibly unreachable endpoint: we shouldn't go through the rest of tcp_conn_from_tap() if we reset the connection due to a successful bind(2), and we'll get EACCES if the port number is low.

* passt, pasta: Namespace-based sandboxing, defer seccomp policy applicationStefano Brivio2022-02-211-31/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To reach (at least) a conceptually equivalent security level as implemented by --enable-sandbox in slirp4netns, we need to create a new mount namespace and pivot_root() into a new (empty) mountpoint, so that passt and pasta can't access any filesystem resource after initialisation. While at it, also detach IPC, PID (only for passt, to prevent vulnerabilities based on the knowledge of a target PID), and UTS namespaces. With this approach, if we apply the seccomp filters right after the configuration step, the number of allowed syscalls grows further. To prevent this, defer the application of seccomp policies after the initialisation phase, before the main loop, that's where we expect bad things to happen, potentially. This way, we get back to 22 allowed syscalls for passt and 34 for pasta, on x86_64. While at it, move #syscalls notes to specific code paths wherever it conceptually makes sense. We have to open all the file handles we'll ever need before sandboxing: - the packet capture file can only be opened once, drop instance numbers from the default path and use the (pre-sandbox) PID instead - /proc/net/tcp{,v6} and /proc/net/udp{,v6}, for automatic detection of bound ports in pasta mode, are now opened only once, before sandboxing, and their handles are stored in the execution context - the UNIX domain socket for passt is also bound only once, before sandboxing: to reject clients after the first one, instead of closing the listening socket, keep it open, accept and immediately discard new connection if we already have a valid one Clarify the (unchanged) behaviour for --netns-only in the man page. To actually make passt and pasta processes run in a separate PID namespace, we need to unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) before forking to background (if configured to do so). Introduce a small daemon() implementation, __daemon(), that additionally saves the PID file before forking. While running in foreground, the process itself can't move to a new PID namespace (a process can't change the notion of its own PID): mention that in the man page. For some reason, fork() in a detached PID namespace causes SIGTERM and SIGQUIT to be ignored, even if the handler is still reported as SIG_DFL: add a signal handler that just exits. We can now drop most of the pasta_child_handler() implementation, that took care of terminating all processes running in the same namespace, if pasta started a shell: the shell itself is now the init process in that namespace, and all children will terminate once the init process exits. Issuing 'echo $$' in a detached PID namespace won't return the actual namespace PID as seen from the init namespace: adapt demo and test setup scripts to reflect that.

* passt, tap: Daemonise once socket is ready without waiting for connectionStefano Brivio2022-01-281-17/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing behaviour is not really practical: an automated agent in charge of starting both qemu and passt would need to fork itself to start passt, because passt won't fork to background until qemu connects, and the agent needs to unblock to start qemu. Instead of waiting for a connection to daemonise, do it right away as soon as a socket is available: that can be considered an initialised state already.

* seccomp: Add a number of alternate and per-arch syscallsStefano Brivio2022-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Depending on the C library, but not necessarily in all the functions we use, statx() might be used instead of stat(), getdents() instead of getdents64(), readlinkat() instead of readlink(), openat() instead of open(). On aarch64, it's clone() and not fork(), and dup3() instead of dup2() -- just allow the existing alternative instead of dealing with per-arch selections. Since glibc commit 9a7565403758 ("posix: Consolidate fork implementation"), we need to allow set_robust_list() for fork()/clone(), even in a single-threaded context. On some architectures, epoll_pwait() is provided instead of epoll_wait(), but never both. Same with newfstat() and fstat(), sigreturn() and rt_sigreturn(), getdents64() and getdents(), readlink() and readlinkat(), unlink() and unlinkat(), whereas pipe() might not be available, but pipe2() always is, exclusively or not. Seen on Fedora 34: newfstatat() is used on top of fstat(). syslog() is an actual system call on some glibc/arch combinations, instead of a connect()/send() implementation. On ppc64 and ppc64le, _llseek(), recv(), send() and getuid() are used. For ppc64 only: ugetrlimit() for the getrlimit() implementation, plus sigreturn() and fcntl64(). On s390x, additionally, we need to allow socketcall() (on top of socket()), and sigreturn() also for passt (not just for pasta). Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
