* demo/pasta: Clean up before rebuilding with -gStefano Brivio2022-03-011-0/+1

* passt, pasta: Run-time selection of AVX2 buildStefano Brivio2022-02-283-12/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines. For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.

* demo, ci: Switch to asciinema(1) for terminal recordingsStefano Brivio2022-02-225-92/+101
| | | | | | | | | | For demos, cool-retro-term(1) looked fancier, but several threads of that and ffmpeg(1) are just messing up with performance testing. The CI videos started getting really big as well, and they were difficult to read. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test: Add demo for Podman with pastaStefano Brivio2022-02-226-3/+951
| | | | | | | | ...showing setup steps, some peculiarities as --net option, and a general side-to-side comparison with slirp4netns(1), including "quick" TCP and UDP throughput and latency benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/perf/passt_udp: Drop threshold for 256B testStefano Brivio2022-02-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | That test fails sometimes, it looks like iperf3 is still sending initial messages that are too big. I'll need to figure out why, but given that 256 bytes is not really an expected MTU, drop the thresholds to zero for the moment being. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/distro/ubuntu: Use DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive for apt on 22.04Stefano Brivio2022-02-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Removing the needrestart package doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm getting again prompts to restart services after installing gcc and make: export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive before installing packages to avoid that. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt, pasta: Namespace-based sandboxing, defer seccomp policy applicationStefano Brivio2022-02-213-15/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* test/perf/passt_tcp: Drop iperf3 window size for host-to-guest testsStefano Brivio2022-02-011-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | With a recent 5.15 kernel, passing a huge window size to iperf3 with lower MTUs makes iperf3 stop sending packets after a few seconds -- I haven't investigated this in detail, but the window size will be adjusted dynamically anyway and not passing it doesn't actually affect throughput, so simply drop the option.

* test/distro/ubuntu: Skip apt-get update for 16.04 on powerpcStefano Brivio2022-01-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | Some recent change to xenial-updates broke dependencies for gcc, it can't be installed anymore. Skipping apt-get update leaves gcc dependencies in a consistent state, though. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/distro: Avoid race between display of ns_msg and netcat exitingStefano Brivio2022-01-304-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | The shell might report 'nc -6 -l -p 9999 > /tmp/ns_msg' as done even after the subsequent 'echo' is done: wait one second before reading out /tmp/ns_msg, to ensure we read that instead of the "Done" message. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* test: Add distribution tests for several architectures and kernel versionsStefano Brivio2022-01-285-0/+1297
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new tests check build and a simple case with pasta sending a short message in both directions (namespace to init, init to namespace). Tests cover a mix of Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu combinations on aarch64, i386, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64. Builds tested starting from approximately glibc 2.19, gcc 4.7, and actual functionality approximately from 4.4 kernels, glibc 2.25, gcc 4.8, all the way up to current glibc/gcc/kernel versions.

* test/lib/test: Introduce 'def' directive for frequently used patternsStefano Brivio2022-01-281-229/+267
| | | | | | | | | For distribution tests, we'll repeat some tests frequently. Add a 'def' directive that starts a block, ended by 'endef', whose execution can then be triggered by simply giving its name as a directive itself. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/lib/term: Allow for a wider variety of prompt characters in pane_wait()Stefano Brivio2022-01-281-7/+10
| | | | | | | | We might have highlighting and slightly different prompts across different distributions, allow a more reasonable set of prompt strings to be accepted as prompts. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/lib/video: Drop -preset ultrafast from ffmpeg argumentsStefano Brivio2022-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | It's not really needed on a reasonably powered CPU, and makes the video contents way less readable. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* demo/pasta: Don't wait for pasta to return to a promptStefano Brivio2022-01-261-1/+1

* test/two_guests: Fix sleep command for DADStefano Brivio2021-10-211-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | An inline comment prefixed by a space doesn't mean the space is dropped, and sleep(1) will get a blank in its argument. Move the comment on its own line. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/two_guests: Let the guests end DAD before starting the DHCPv6 clientStefano Brivio2021-10-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | They'll start DAD as we bring up the interface, and the DHCPv6 client might be unreasonably delayed if we start it too early. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt: Add cppcheck target, test, and address resulting warningsStefano Brivio2021-10-211-1/+5

* test/perf: Actually load passt enough to test UDP performanceStefano Brivio2021-10-213-31/+34
| | | | | | | | | With recent improvements, we're not CPU-bound at all while testing UDP performance. Give the VM more memory and CPUs, forward two additional ports, start up to four threads in parallel, and give single iperf3 threads higher bandwidth targets.
