Currently creating the connected socket for a splice is split between
tcp_splice_conn_from_sock(), which opens the socket, and
tcp_splice_connect() which connects it. Alter tcp_splice_connect() to
open its own socket based on an address family and pif we pass it.
This does require a second conditional on pif, but makes for a more
logical split of functionality: tcp_splice_conn_from_sock() picks the
target, tcp_splice_connect() creates the connection. While we're
there improve reporting of errors

The only caller of tcp_splice_new() is tcp_splice_conn_from_sock().
Both are quite short, and the division of responsibilities between the
two isn't particularly obvious. Simplify by merging the former into
the latter.

In tcp_splice_conn_from_sock(), the 'port' variable stores the source
port of the connection on the originating side. In tcp_splice_new(),
called directly from it, the 'port' parameter gives the _destination_
port of the originating connection and is then updated to the
destination port of the connection on the other side.
Similarly, in tcp_splice_conn_from_sock(), 's' is the fd of the
accetped socket (on side 0), whereas in tcp_splice_new(), 's' is the
fd of the connecting socket (side 1).
I, for one, find having the same variable name with different meanings
in such close proximity in the flow of control pretty confusing.
Alter the names for greater specificity and clarity.

Our allocation scheme for flow entries means there are some
non-obvious constraints on when what things can be done with an entry.
Add a big doc comment explaining the life cycle.
In addition, make a FLOW_START() macro to mark one of the important
transitions. This encourages correct usage, by making it natural to
only access the flow type specific structure after calling it. It
also logs that a new flow has been created, which is useful for
debugging.
We also add logging when a flow's lifecycle ends. This doesn't need a
new helper, because it can only happen either from flow_alloc_cancel()
or from the flow deferred handler.

In tcp_splice_conn_from_sock() we can call flow_trace() if there's an
error setting TCP_QUICKACK. However, we do so before we've set the
flow type in the flow entry. That means that flow_trace() will print
nonsense when it tries to print the flow type.
There's no reason the setsockopt() has to happen before initialising
the flow entry, so just move it after.

Currently tcp_splice_flow_defer() contains specific logic to determine
if we're far enough initialised that we need to close pipes and/or
sockets. This is potentially fragile if we change something about the
order in which we do things. We can simplify this by initialising the
pipe and socket fields to -1 very early, then close()ing them if and
only if they're non-negative.
This lets us remove a special case cleanup if our connect() fails.
This will already trigger a CLOSING event, and the socket fd in
question is populated in the connection structure. Thus we can let
the new cleanup logic handle it rather than requiring an explicit
close().

The epoll references for both TCP listening sockets and UDP sockets
includes a port number. This gives the destination port that traffic
to that socket will be sent to on the other side. That will usually
be the same as the socket's bound port, but might not if the -t, -u,
-T or -U options are given with different original and forwarded port
numbers.
As we move towards a more flexible forwarding model for passt, it's
going to become possible for that destination port to vary depending
on more things (for example the source or destination address). So,
it will no longer make sense to have a fixed value for a listening
socket.
Change to simpler semantics where this field in the reference gives
the bound port of the socket. We apply the translations to the
correct destination port later on, when we're actually forwarding.

There are a number of places where we want to handle either a
sockaddr_in or a sockaddr_in6. In some of those we use a void *,
which works ok and matches some standard library interfaces, but
doesn't give a signature level hint that we're dealing with only
sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6, not (say) sockaddr_un or another type of
socket address. Other places we use a sockaddr_storage, which also
works, but has the same problem in addition to allocating more on the
stack than we need to.
Introduce union sockaddr_inany to explictly handle this case: it has
variants for sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6. Use it in a number of
places where it's easy to do so.

We maintain pools of ready-to-connect sockets in both the original and
(for pasta) guest namespace to reduce latency when starting new TCP
connections. If we exhaust those pools we have to take a higher
latency path to get a new socket.
Currently we open-code that fallback in the places we need it. To improve
clarity encapsulate that into helper functions. While we're at it, give
those helpers clearer error reporting.

Currently if tcp_sock_refill_pool() is unable to fill all the slots in the
pool, it will silently exit. This might lead to a later attempt to get
fds from the pool to fail at which point it will be harder to tell what
originally went wrong.
Instead add warnings if we're unable to refill any of the socket pools when
requested. We have tcp_sock_refill_pool() return an error and report it
in the callers, because those callers have more context allowing for a
more useful message.

Currently we always keep the flow table maximally compact: that is all the
active entries are contiguous at the start of the table. Doing this
sometimes requires moving an entry when one is freed. That's kind of
fiddly, and potentially expensive: it requires updating the hash table for
the new location, and depending on flow type, it may require EPOLL_CTL_MOD,
system calls to update epoll tags with the new location too.
Implement a new way of managing the flow table that doesn't ever move
entries. It attempts to maintain some compactness by always using the
first free slot for a new connection, and mitigates the effect of non
compactness by cheaply skipping over contiguous blocks of free entries.
See the "theory of operation" comment in flow.c for details.

Currently, flows are only evern finally freed (and the table compacted)
from the deferred handlers. Some future ways we want to optimise managing
the flow table will rely on this, so enforce it: rather than having the
TCP code directly call flow_table_compact(), add a boolean return value to
the per-flow deferred handlers. If true, this indicates that the flow
code itself should free the flow.
This forces all freeing of flows to occur during the flow code's scan of
the table in flow_defer_handler() which opens possibilities for future
optimisations.

In general, the passt code is a bit haphazard about what's a true global
variable and what's in the quasi-global 'context structure'. The
flow_count field is one such example: it's in the context structure,
although it's really part of the same data structure as flowtab[], which
is a genuine global.
Move flow_count to be a regular global to match. For now it needs to be
public, rather than static, but we expect to be able to change that in
future.

Currently connected TCP sockets have the same epoll type, whether they're
for a "tap" connection or a spliced connection. This means that
tcp_sock_handler() has to do a secondary check on the type of the
connection to call the right function. We can avoid this by adding a new
epoll type and dispatching directly to the right thing.

tcp_timer() scans the connection table, expiring "tap" connections and
calling tcp_splice_timer() for "splice" connections. tcp_splice_timer()
expires spliced connections and then does some other processing.
However, tcp_timer() is always called shortly after tcp_defer_handler()
(from post_handler()), which also scans the flow table expiring both tap
and spliced connections. So remove the redundant handling, and only do
the extra tcp_splice_timer() work from tcp_timer().

flow_table.h, the lower level flow header relies on having the struct
definitions for every protocol specific flow type - so far that means
tcp_conn.h. It doesn't include it itself, so tcp_conn.h must be included
before flow_table.h.
That's ok for now, but as we use the flow table for more things,
flow_table.h will need the structs for all of them, which means the
protocol specific .c files would need to include tcp_conn.h _and_ the
equivalents for every other flow type before flow_table.h every time,
which is weird.
So, although we *mostly* lean towards the include style where .c files need
to handle the include dependencies, in this case it makes more sense to
have flow_table.h include all the protocol specific headers it needs.

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.

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.

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.

To reduce latencies, the tcp splice code maintains a pool of pre-opened
pipes to use for new connections. This is structured as an array of pairs
of pipes, with each pipe, of course, being a pair of fds. Thus when we
use the pool, a single pool "slot" provides both the a->b and b->a pipes.
There's no strong reason to store the pool in pairs, though - we can
with not much difficulty instead take the a->b and b->a pipes for a new
connection independently from separate slots in the pool, or even take one
from the the pool and create the other as we need it, if there's only one
pipe left in the pool.
This marginally increases the length of code, but simplifies the structure
of the pipe pool. We should be able to re-shrink the code with later
changes, too.
In the process we also fix some minor bugs:
- If we both failed to find a pipe in the pool and to create a new one, we
didn't log an error and would silently drop the connection. That could
make debugging such a situation difficult. Add in an error message for
that case
- When refilling the pool, if we were only able to open a single pipe in
the pair, we attempted to rollback, but instead of closing the opened
pipe, we instead closed the pipe we failed to open (probably leading to
some ignored EBADFD errors).

tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() removes both sockets from the epoll set if called
when conn->flags & CLOSING. This will always happen immediately after
setting that flag, since conn_flag_do() makes the call itself. That's also
the _only_ time it can happen: we perform the EPOLL_CTL_DEL without
clearing the conn->in_epoll flag, meaning that any further calls to
tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() would attempt EPOLL_CTL_MOD, which would necessarily
fail since the fds are no longer in the epoll.
The EPOLL_CTL_DEL path in tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() has essentially zero
overlap with anything else the function does, so just move them to be
open coded in conn_flag_do().
This does require kernel 2.6.9 or later, in order to pass NULL as the
event structure for epoll_ctl(). However, we already require at least
3.13 to allow unprivileged user namespaces.
Given that, simply directly perform the EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations from
conn_flag_do() rather than unnecessarily multiplexini

If we get an error from epoll_ctl() in tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() we goto the
'delete' path where we remove both sockets from the epoll set and return
an error. There are several problems with this:
- We 'return -errno' after the EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations, which means the
deleting epoll_ctl() calls may have overwritten the errno values which
actually triggered the failures.
- The call from conn_flag_do() occurs when the CLOSING flag is set, in
which case we go do the delete path regardless of error. In that case
the 'return errno' is meaningless since we don't expect the EPOLL_CTL_DEL
operations to fail and we ignore the return code anyway.
- All other calls to tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() check the return code and if
non-zero immediately call conn_flag(..., CLOSING) which will call
tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() again explicitly to remove the sockets from epoll.
That means removing them when the error first occurs is redundant.
- We never specifically report an error on the epoll_ctl() operations. We
just set the connection to CLOSING, more or less silently killing it.
This could make debugging difficult in the unlikely even that we get a
failure here.
Re-organise tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() to just log a message then return in the
error case, and only EPOLL_CTL_DEL when explicitly asked to with the
CLOSING flag.

tcp_splice_conn_update() calls tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() twice: first ignoring
the return value, then checking it. This serves no purpose. If the first
call succeeds, the second call will do exactly the same thing again, since
nothing has changed in conn. If the first call fails, then
tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() itself will EPOLL_CTL_DEL both fds, meaning when
the second call tries to EPOLL_CTL_MOD them it will necessarily fail.
It appears that this duplication was introduced by accident in an
otherwise unrelated patch.

For certain socket types, we record in the epoll ref whether they're
sockets in the namespace, or on the host. We now have the notion of "pif"
to indicate what "place" a socket is associated with, so generalise the
simple one-bit 'ns' to a pif id.

Newer versions of cppcheck (as of 2.12.0, at least) added a warning for
pointers which could be declared to point at const data, but aren't.
Based on that, make many pointers throughout the codebase const.

We have a bunch of variants of the siphash functions for different data
sizes. The callers, in tcp.c, need to pack the various values they want to
hash into a temporary structure, then call the appropriate version. We can
avoid the copy into the temporary by directly using the incremental
siphash functions.
The length specific hash functions also have an undocumented constraint
that the data pointer they take must, in fact, be aligned to avoid
unaligned accesses, which may cause crashes on some architectures.
So, prefer the incremental approach and remove the length-specific
functions.

A classic gotcha of the standard C library is that its unwise to call any
variable 'index' because it will shadow the standard string library
function index(3). This can cause warnings from cppcheck amongst others,
and it also means that if the variable is removed you tend to get confusing
type errors (or sometimes nothing at all) instead of a nice simple "name is
not defined" error.
Strictly speaking this only occurs if <string.h> is included, but that
is so common that as a rule it's best to just avoid it always. We
have a number of places which hit this trap, so rename variables and
parameters to avoid it.

tcp_defer_handler() performs a potentially expensive linear scan of the
connection table. So, to mitigate the cost of that we skip if if we're not
under at least moderate pressure: either 30% of available connections or
30% (estimated) of available fds used.
But, the calculation for this has been broken since it was introduced: we
calculate "max_conns" based on c->tcp.conn_count, not TCP_MAX_CONNS,
meaning we only exit early if conn_count is less than 30% of itself, i.e.
never.
If that calculation is "corrected" to be based on TCP_MAX_CONNS, it
completely tanks the TCP CRR times for passt - from ~60ms to >1000ms on my
laptop. My guess is that this is because in the case of many short lived
connections, we're letting the table become much fuller before compacting
it. That means that other places which perform a table scan now have to
do much, much more.
For the time being, simply remove the tests, since they're not doing
anything useful. We can reintroduce them more carefully if we see a need
for them.
This also removes the only user of c->tcp.splice_conn_count, so that can
be removed as well.

The in_epoll boolean is one of only two fields (currently) in the common
structure shared between tap and spliced connections. It seems like it
belongs there, because both tap and spliced connections use it, and it has
roughly the same meaning.
Roughly, however, isn't exactly: which fds this flag says are in the epoll
varies between the two connection types, and are in type specific fields.
So, it's only possible to meaningfully use this value locally in type
specific code anyway.
This common field is going to get in the way of more widespread
generalisation of connection / flow tracking, so move it to separate fields
in the tap and splice specific structures.

tcp_sock_handler() handles both listening TCP sockets, and connected TCP
sockets, but what it needs to do in those cases has essentially nothing in
common. Therefore, give listening sockets their own epoll_type value and
dispatch directly to their own handler from the top level. Furthermore,
the two handlers need essentially entirely different information from the
reference: we re-(ab)used the index field in the tcp_epoll_ref to indicate
the port for the listening socket, but that's not the same meaning. So,
switch listening sockets to their own reference type which we can lay out
as we please. That lets us remove the listen and outbound fields from the
normal (connected) tcp_epoll_ref, reducing it to just the connection table
index.

The epoll_ref type includes fields for the IP protocol of a socket, and the
socket fd. However, we already have a few things in the epoll which aren't
protocol sockets, and we may have more in future. Rename these fields to
an abstract "fd type" and file descriptor for more generality.
Similarly, rather than using existing IP protocol numbers for the type,
introduce our own number space. For now these just correspond to the
supported protocols, but we'll expand on that in future.

union epoll_ref has a deeply nested set of structs and unions to let us
subdivide it into the various different fields we want. This means that
referencing elements can involve an awkward long string of intermediate
fields.
Using C11 anonymous structs and unions lets us do this less clumsily.
