Bug #120 asks us to use the true MAC addresses of LAN local
remote hosts, since some programs need this information.
These commits introduces this for ARP, NDP, UDP, TCP and
ICMP.
---
v3: Updated according to feedback from Stefano and David:
- Made the ARP/NDP lookup call filter out the requested address
by itself, qualified by the index if the template interface
- Moved the flow specific MAC address from struct flowside to
struct flow_common.
v4: - Updated according to feedback from David and Stefan
- Added a cache table for ARP/NDP table contents
v5: - Updated according to feedback from David and Stefan
- Added cache table entries to FIFO/LRU queue
- New criteria for when to consult ARP/NDP
v6: - Simplified and merged mac cache table commits
- Other changes after feedback from David.
Jon Maloy (8):

The solution to bug https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=120
requires the ability to translate from an IP address to its
corresponding MAC address in cases where those are present in
the ARP/NDP table.
We add this feature here.

v3: - Added an attribute contianing NDA_DST to sent message, so
that we let the kernel do the filtering of the IP address
and return only one entry.
- Added interface index to the call signature. Since the only
interface we know is the template interface, this limits
the number of hosts that will be seen as 'network segment
local' from a PASST viewpoint.
v4: - Made loop independent of attribute order.
- Ignoring L2 addresses which are not of size ETH_ALEN.
v5: - Changed return value of new function, so caller can know if
a MAC address really was found.
v6: - Removed warning printout which had ended up in the wrong
commit.

We add a cache table to keep partial contents of the kernel ARP/NDP
tables. This way, we drastically reduce the number of netlink calls
to read those tables.
We create undefined cache entries representing non- or not-yet-
existing ARP/NDP entries when needed. We add a short expiration time
to each such entry, so that we can know when to make repeated calls to
the kernel tables in the beginning. We also add an access counter to the
entries, to ensure that the timer becomes longer and the call frequency
abates over time if no ARP/NDP entry shows up.
For regular entries we use a much longer timer, with the purpose to
update the entry in the rare case that a remote host changes its
MAC address.

v5: - Moved to earlier in series to reduce rebase conflicts
v6: - Sqashed the hash list commit and the FIFO/LRU queue commit
- Removed hash lookup. We now only use linear lookup in a
linked list
- Eliminated dynamic memory allocation.
- Ensured there is only one call to clock_gettime()
- Using MAC_ZERO instead of the previously dedicated definitions

When we receive an ARP request or NDP neigbor solicitation over
the tap interface for a host on the local network segment attached
to the template interface, we respond with that host's real MAC
address.
Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>
---
v3: - Added helper function to find out if a remote ip address is subject
to NAT. This filters out local host addresses which should be
presented with the passt/pasta local MAC address 9a:55:9a:55:9a:55 even
though it is on the local segment.
- Adapted to the change in nl_mac_get() function, so that we now consider
only the template interface when checking the ARP/NDP table.
v4: - Moved NAT check into the function nat_outbound() to obtain more
precise criteria for when NAT is used. We may in theory
have NAT even if original and translated addresses are equal, and
we want to catch this case.
- I chose to keep the wrapper funtion inany_nat(), but moved it to
fwd.h/fwd.c and renamed it to fwd_inany_nat().
v5: - Simplified criteria for when we do ARP/NDP lookup. Now, we
just try with the potentially translated address after an
attempted NAT check.
- Using the new ARP/NDP cache table instead of using netlink
directly.
v6: - Fixes after feedback from David:
- Renamed nat_outbound() to fwd_nat_outbound()
- Eliminated unnecessary temporary variable in arp.c::arp()

When communicating with remote hosts on the local network, some guest
applications want to see the real MAC address of that host instead
of PASST/PASTA's own tap address. The flow_common structure is a
convenient location for storing that address, so we do that in this
commit.
Note that we don´t add actual usage of this address here, that will
be done in later commits.

v3: - Moved the remote host macaddress from struct flowside to
struct flow_common. I chose to call it 'omac' as suggested
by David, although in my understanding the correct name would be
'emac'. (In general I find the address naming scheme confusing.)
- Adapted to new signature of function nl_mac_get(), now passing
it the index of the template interface.
v4: - Renamed flow_commeon->omac to flow_common->tap_omac to make is
role in the code clearer
v5: - Modified the criteria for ARP/NDP table lookup like in the
previous commits.
- Removed the PIF_TAP lookup case, as David suggested, and did
instead give the flow->tap_omac field a value marking it as
non-initialized.
- Calling the cache table instead of netlink for ARP/NDP lookup.
- Unconditionally using the potentially translated IP address
in the lookup, instead of only if NAT really was applied.
v6: - Using MAC_ZERO instead of own definitions

v3: - Adapted to the signature change in nl_mac_get() function, so that
we now consider only the template interface when checking the
ARP/NDP table.
v4: - Adapted to previous name changes in this series
v5: - Added lookup in ARP/NDP cache and/or table on incoming messages
in case flow->tap_omac wasn't initialized at flow creation,
i.e., the flow was initiated from the guest.
v6: - Using MAC_IS_ZERO() instead of mac_undefined()
- I ignored David's suggestion to move the test for
undefined flow->tap_omac to tcp_{buf,vu}_data_from_sock(), at
least for now. It looks like a sub-optimization to first have to
look up the flow instance in these calls, and then do the
test for MAC_IS_ZERO(), even though we might in theory end up
with fewer such calls (how often?).

In the following commits it must be possible for the callers of
function tap_push_l2h() to specify which source MAC address should
be added to the ethernet header sent over the tap interface. As
a preparation, we now add a new argument to that function, still
without actually using it.
Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>
---
v3: -Improved comment for src_mac argument, as suggested by Stefano.
v4: -Re-added comment in tap.c and remove redundant argument check
in tap_push_l2()
v5: -Ensured that MAC argument to tap_push_l2h() never is NULL.
v6: -Clarification of comment about ARP lookup

Even ICMP needs to be updated to use the external MAC address instead
of just the own tap address when applicable. We do that here.
Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>
---
v3: - Adapted to the move of external MAC address from struct flowside
to struct flow_common
v4: - Adapted to name changes in previous commits in this series
v5: - Added conditional lookup in ARP/NDP if the flow's tap_omac is
undefined
v6: - Looking up MAC of ICMP generating node in udp_send_tap_icmp4/6()
when available, instead trusting the contents of flow->tap_omac.
