If transparent huge pages are available, madvise() will do the trick.
While at it, decrease EPOLL_EVENTS for the main loop from 10 to 8,
for slightly better socket fairness.

Traffic with loopback source address will be forwarded to the direct
loopback connection in the namespace, and the tap interface is used
for the rest.

Provide an AVX2-based function using compiler intrinsics for
TCP/IP-style checksums. The load/unpack/add idea and implementation
is largely based on code from BESS (the Berkeley Extensible Software
Switch) licensed as 3-Clause BSD, with a number of modifications to
further decrease pipeline stalls and to minimise cache pollution.
This speeds up considerably data paths from sockets to tap
interfaces, decreasing overhead for checksum computation, with
16-64KiB packet buffers, from approximately 11% to 7%. The rest is
just syscalls at this point.
While at it, provide convenience targets in the Makefile for avx2,
avx2_debug, and debug targets -- these simply add target-specific
CFLAGS to the build.

Packets are received directly onto pre-cooked, static buffers
for IPv4 (with partial checksum pre-calculation) and IPv6 frames,
with pre-filled Ethernet addresses and, partially, IP headers,
and sent out from the same buffers with sendmmsg(), for both
passt and pasta (non-local traffic only) modes.

PASTA (Pack A Subtle Tap Abstraction) provides quasi-native host
connectivity to an otherwise disconnected, unprivileged network
and user namespace, similarly to slirp4netns. Given that the
implementation is largely overlapping with PASST, no separate binary
is built: 'pasta' (and 'passt4netns' for clarity) both link to
'passt', and the mode of operation is selected depending on how the
binary is invoked. Usage example:
$ unshare -rUn
# echo $$
1871759
$ ./pasta 1871759 # From another terminal
# udhcpc -i pasta0 2>/dev/null
# ping -c1 pasta.pizza
PING pasta.pizza (64.190.62.111) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 64.190.62.111 (64.190.62.111): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=34.6 ms
--- pasta.pizza ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 34.575/34.575/34.575/0.000 ms
# ping -c1 spaghetti.pizza
PING spaghetti.pizza(2606:4700:3034::6815:147a (2606:4700:3034::6815:147a)) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2606:4700:3034::6815:147a (2606:4700:3034::6815:147a): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=29.0 ms
--- spaghetti.pizza ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 28.967/28.967/28.967/0.000 ms
This entails a major rework, especially with regard to the storage of
tracked connections and to the semantics of epoll(7) references.
Indexing TCP and UDP bindings merely by socket proved to be
inflexible and unsuitable to handle different connection flows: pasta
also provides Layer-2 to Layer-2 socket mapping between init and a
separate namespace for local connections, using a pair of splice()
system calls for TCP, and a recvmmsg()/sendmmsg() pair for UDP local
bindings. For instance, building on the previous example:
# ip link set dev lo up
# iperf3 -s
$ iperf3 -c ::1 -Z -w 32M -l 1024k -P2 | tail -n4
[SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 52.3 GBytes 44.9 Gbits/sec 283 sender
[SUM] 0.00-10.43 sec 52.3 GBytes 43.1 Gbits/sec receiver
iperf Done.
epoll(7) references now include a generic part in order to
demultiplex data to the relevant protocol handler, using 24
bits for the socket number, and an opaque portion reserved for
usage by the single protocol handlers, in order to track sockets
back to corresponding connections and bindings.
A number of fixes pertaining to TCP state machine and congestion
window handling are also included here.

...sharing the same filesystem. Instead of a fixed path for the UNIX
domain socket, passt now uses a path with a counter, probing for
existing instances, and picking the first free one.
The demo script is updated accordingly -- it can now be started several
times to create multiple namespaces with an instance of passt each,
with addressing reflecting separate subnets, and NDP proxying between
them.

Add support for a variable amount of DNS servers, including zero,
from /etc/resolv.conf, in DHCP, NDP and DHCPv6 implementations.
Introduce support for domain search list for DHCP (RFC 3397),
NDP (RFC 8106), and DHCPv6 (RFC 3646), also sourced from
/etc/resolv.conf.

This is in preparation for scatter-gather IO on the UDP receive path:
save a getsockname() syscall by setting a flag if we get the numbering
of all bound sockets in a strict sequence (expected, in practice) and
repurpose the tap buffer to be also a socket receive buffer, passing
it down to protocol handlers.

As we support UDP forwarding for packets that are sent to local
ports, we actually need some kind of connection tracking for UDP.
While at it, this commit introduces a number of vaguely related fixes
for issues observed while trying this out. In detail:
- implement an explicit, albeit minimalistic, connection tracking
for UDP, to allow usage of ephemeral ports by the guest and by
the host at the same time, by binding them dynamically as needed,
and to allow mapping address changes for packets with a loopback
address as destination
- set the guest MAC address whenever we receive a packet from tap
instead of waiting for an ARP request, and set it to broadcast on
start, otherwise DHCPv6 might not work if all DHCPv6 requests time
out before the guest starts talking IPv4
- split context IPv6 address into address we assign, global or site
address seen on tap, and link-local address seen on tap, and make
sure we use the addresses we've seen as destination (link-local
choice depends on source address). Similarly, for IPv4, split into
address we assign and address we observe, and use the address we
observe as destination
- introduce a clock_gettime() syscall right after epoll_wait() wakes
up, so that we can remove all the other ones and pass the current
timestamp to tap and socket handlers -- this is additionally needed
by UDP to time out bindings to ephemeral ports and mappings between
loopback address and a local address
- rename sock_l4_add() to sock_l4(), no semantic changes intended
- include <arpa/inet.h> in passt.c before kernel headers so that we
can use <netinet/in.h> macros to check IPv6 address types, and
remove a duplicate <linux/ip.h> inclusion

This is a reimplementation, partially building on the earlier draft,
that uses L4 sockets (SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM) instead of SOCK_RAW,
providing L4-L2 translation functionality without requiring any
security capability.
Conceptually, this follows the design presented at:
https://gitlab.com/abologna/kubevirt-and-kvm/-/blob/master/Networking.md
The most significant novelty here comes from TCP and UDP translation
layers. In particular, the TCP state and translation logic follows
the intent of being minimalistic, without reimplementing a full TCP
stack in either direction, and synchronising as much as possible the
TCP dynamic and flows between guest and host kernel.
Another important introduction concerns addressing, port translation
and forwarding. The Layer 4 implementations now attempt to bind on
all unbound ports, in order to forward connections in a transparent
way.
While at it:
- the qemu 'tap' back-end can't be used as-is by qrap anymore,
because of explicit checks now introduced in qemu to ensure that
the corresponding file descriptor is actually a tap device. For
this reason, qrap now operates on a 'socket' back-end type,
accounting for and building the additional header reporting
frame length
- provide a demo script that sets up namespaces, addresses and
routes, and starts the daemon. A virtual machine started in the
network namespace, wrapped by qrap, will now directly interface
with passt and communicate using Layer 4 sockets provided by the
host kernel.
