This patch adds peer address support for
networkd . In the [Address] a new configurable
param is Peer.
[Match]
Name=ipip-tun
[Address]
Address=10.0.0.1/32
Peer=10.0.0.2/32
Check that received DHCP packets actually include our MAC address in
chaddr field. BPF interpreter has 32 bit wide registers but MAC address
is 48 bits long so we have to do check in two steps.
This is useful to test the behaviour of the compressor for various buffer
sizes.
Time is limited to a minute per compression, since otherwise, when LZ4
takes more than a second which is necessary to reduce the noise, XZ
takes more than 10 minutes.
% build/test-compress-benchmark (without time limit)
XZ: compressed & decompressed 2535300963 bytes in 794.57s (3.04MiB/s), mean compresion 99.95%, skipped 3570 bytes
LZ4: compressed & decompressed 2535303543 bytes in 1.56s (1550.07MiB/s), mean compresion 99.60%, skipped 990 bytes
% build/test-compress-benchmark (with time limit)

It appears that there's a bug in lzma_end where it leaks 32 bytes.
Add liblz4 as an optional dependency when requested with --enable-lz4,
and use it in preference to liblzma for journal blob and coredump
compression. To retain backwards compatibility, XZ is used to
decompress old blobs.
Things will function correctly only with lz4-119.
Based on the benchmarks found on the web, lz4 seems to be the best
choice for "quick" compressors atm.

Two modes are supported: --volatile=yes mounts only /usr into the
container, and a tmpfs as root directory. --volatile=state mounts the
full OS tree in, but overmounts /var with a tmpfs.
--volatile=yes hence boots with an unpopulated /etc and /var, starting
with pristine configuration and state.
--volatile=state hence boots with an unpopulated /var, only starting
with pristine state.
Previously, we checked whether /etc was completely empty. This makes it
difficult though for container managers such as nspawn to install a
small number of files (such as /etc/timezone), and have the system
otherwise populate its own tree.
Hence, change this by looking for /etc/machine-id, which should be a
good sign whether /etc is populated or not.
We really don't want these in containers as they provide a too lowlevel
look on the system.
Conditionalize them with CAP_SYS_RAWIO since that's required to access
/proc/kcore, /dev/kmem and similar, which feel similar in style. Also,
npsawn containers lack that capability.
npsawn containers generally have CAP_MKNOD, since this is required
to make PrviateDevices= work. Thus, it's not useful anymore to
conditionalize the kmod static device node units.
Use CAP_SYS_MODULES instead which is not available for nspawn
containers. However, the static device node logic is only done for being
able to autoload modules with it, and if we can't do that there's no
point in doing it.
When doing a NEWADDR, the reply we get back is the NEWADDR itself, rather
than just an empty ack (unlike how NEWLINK works). For this reason, the
process that did the NEWADDR does not get the broadcast message.
We were only listening for broadcast messages, and hence not tracking the
addresses we added ourselves. This went unnoticed as the kernel will usually
send NEWADDR messages from time to time anyway, so things would mostly work,
but in the worst case we would not notice that a routable address was available
and consider ourselves offline.
