Tomasz Duda 1890af6d45 support cgroup v1 mounted with noprefix
Android mounts the v1 cpuset cgroup with the noprefix option.
As a result, runc first attempts to access cpuset files using the prefix format (e.g., cpuset.cpus).
If this fails, it falls back to accessing them without the prefix (e.g., cpus).
Once a successful access method is determined, it is cached and used for all subsequent operations.
Only the v1 cpuset cgroup is allowed to mount with noprefix. See kernel source:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/2e1b3cc9d7f790145a80cb705b168f05dab65df2/kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c#L1070.
Cpuset cannot be mounted with and without prefix simultaneously.

Kir Kolyshkin 5d3942eec3 libct: unify IOPriority setting
For some reason, io priority is set in different places between runc
start/run and runc exec:

 - for runc start/run, it is done in the middle of (*linuxStandardInit).Init,
   close to the place where we exec runc init.
 - for runc exec, it is done much earlier, in (*setnsProcess) start().

Let's move setIOPriority call for runc exec to (*linuxSetnsInit).Init,
so it is in the same logical place as for runc start/run.

Also, move the function itself to init_linux.go as it's part of init.

Should not have any visible effect, except part of runc init is run with
a different I/O priority.

While at it, rename setIOPriority to setupIOPriority, and make it accept
the whole *configs.Config, for uniformity with other similar functions.

Kir Kolyshkin 394f4c3b70 Re-add tun/tap to default device rules
Since v1.2.0 was released, a number of users complained that the removal
of tun/tap device access from the default device ruleset is causing a
regression in their workloads.

Additionally, it seems that some upper-level orchestration tools
(Docker Swarm, Kubernetes) makes it either impossible or cumbersome
to supply additional device rules.

While it's probably not quite right to have /dev/net/tun in a default
device list, it was there from the very beginning, and users rely on it.
Let's keep it there for the sake of backward compatibility.

This reverts commit 2ce40b6ad7.

Kir Kolyshkin 47dc185880 Add runc_nocriu build tag
This allows to make a 17% smaller runc binary by not compiling in
checkpoint/restore support.

It turns out that google.golang.org/protobuf package, used by go-criu,
is quite big, and go linker can't drop unused stuff if reflection is
used anywhere in the code.

Currently there's no alternative to using protobuf in go-criu, and since
not all users use c/r, let's provide them an option for a smaller
binary.

For the reference, here's top10 biggest vendored packages, as reported
by gsa[1]:

$ gsa runc | grep vendor | head
│ 8.59%   │ google.golang.org/protobuf                  │ 1.3 MB │ vendor    │
│ 5.76%   │ github.com/opencontainers/runc              │ 865 kB │ vendor    │
│ 4.05%   │ github.com/cilium/ebpf                      │ 608 kB │ vendor    │
│ 2.86%   │ github.com/godbus/dbus/v5                   │ 429 kB │ vendor    │
│ 1.25%   │ github.com/urfave/cli                       │ 188 kB │ vendor    │
│ 0.90%   │ github.com/vishvananda/netlink              │ 135 kB │ vendor    │
│ 0.59%   │ github.com/sirupsen/logrus                  │ 89 kB  │ vendor    │

│ 0.51%   │ golang.org/x/sys                            │ 76 kB  │ vendor    │
│ 0.47%   │ github.com/seccomp/libseccomp-golang        │ 71 kB  │ vendor    │

And here is a total binary size saving when `runc_nocriu` is used.

For non-stripped binaries:

$ gsa runc-cr runc-nocr | tail -3
│ -17.04% │ runc-cr                                  │ 15 MB    │ 12 MB    │ -2.6 MB │

└─────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────┴──────────┴──────────┴─────────┘

And for stripped binaries:

Aleksa Sarai c0044c7aa4 cgroup: ebpf: make unexpected errors in haveBpfProgReplace louder
If we get an unexpected error here, it is probably because of a library
or kernel change that could cause our detection logic to be invalid. As
a result, these warnings should be louder so users have a chance to tell
us about them sooner (or so we might notice them before doing a release,
as happened with the 1.2.0 regression).

It is possible for LinkAttachProgram to return ErrNotSupported if
program attachment is not supported at all (which doesn't matter in this
case), but it seems possible that upstream will start returning
ErrNotSupported for BPF_F_REPLACE at some point so it's best to make
sure we don't cause additional regressions here.

Aleksa Sarai dea0e04dd9 cgroups: ebpf: use link.Anchor to check for BPF_F_REPLACE support
In v0.13.0, cilium/ebpf stopped supporting setting BPF_F_REPLACE as an
explicit flag and instead requires us to use link.Anchor to specify
where the program should be attached.

Commit 216175a9ca ("Upgrade Cilium's eBPF library version to 0.16")
did update this correctly for the actual attaching logic, but when
checking for kernel support we still passed BPF_F_REPLACE. This would
result in a generic error being returned, which our feature-support
checking logic would treat as being an error the indicates that
BPF_F_REPLACE *is* supported, resulting in a regression on pre-5.6
kernels.

It turns out that our debug logging saying that this unexpected error
was happening was being output as a result of this change, but nobody
noticed...

Aleksa Sarai fadc55eb17 nsenter: implement a two-stage join for setns
If we are running with privileges and are asked to join an externally
created user namespaces as well as some other namespace that was *not*
created underneath said user namespace, the approach we added in commit
2cd9c31b99 ("nsenter: guarantee correct user namespace ordering")
doesn't work.

While in theory you would want all externally created namespaces to be
sane, it seems that some tools really do create unrelated namespaces and
ask us to join them. Luckily we can just loosely copy what nsenter(1)
appears to do -- we first try to join any namespaces we can (with host
root privileges), then we join any user namespaces, and then we join any
remaining namespaces (now with the user namespace's privileges).

Note that we *do not* have to try to join namespaces after we create our
own user namespace. Namespace permissions are based purely on the owning
user namespace (not the rootuid) so we will not have access to any extra
namespaces once we unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) (in fact we will not be able
to setns(2) to anything!).

Kir Kolyshkin db59489b68 runc delete: fix for rootless cgroup + ro cgroupfs
An issue with runc 1.2.0 was reported to buildkit, in which
runc delete returns with an error, with the log saying:

> unable to destroy container: unable to remove container's cgroup: open /sys/fs/cgroup/snschvixiy3s74w74fjantrdg: no such file or directory

Apparently, what happens is runc is running with no cgroup access
(because /sys/fs/cgroup is mounted read-only). In this case error to
create a cgroup path (in runc create/run) is ignored, but cgroup removal
(in runc delete) is not.

This is caused by commit d3d7f7d, which changes the cgroup removal
logic in RemovePath. In the current code, if the initial rmdir has
failed (in this case with EROFS), but the subsequent os.ReadDir returns
ENOENT, it is returned (instead of being ignored -- as the path does not
exist and so there is nothing to remove).

Here is the minimal fix for the issue.

memory limit is unlimited, we should treat memory+swap limit as just swap
limit.

Revise the unit test; add description to each case.

Kir Kolyshkin cb9f3d6d14 libct/cg: improve ConvertMemorySwapToCgroupV2Value
Improve readability of ConvertMemorySwapToCgroupV2Value by switching
from a bunch of if statements to a switch, and adding a comment
describing each case.

No functional change.

Kir Kolyshkin eb2ff52ace libct: rm x/sys/execabs usage
Since Go 1.19, the same functionality is there in os/exec package.
As we require go 1.22 now, there's no need to have this.

This basically reverts commit 9258eac0 ("libct/start: use execabs for
newuidmap lookup").

lfbzhm e669926691 fix an error caused by fd reuse race when starting runc init
There is a race situation when we are opening a file, if there is a
small fd was closed at that time, maybe it will be reused by safeExe.
Because of Go stdlib fds shuffling bug, if the fd of safeExe is too
small, go stdlib will dup3 it to another fd, or dup3 a other fd to this
fd, then it will cause the fd type cmd.Path refers to a random path,
and it can lead to an error "permission denied" when starting the process.
Please see #4294 and <https://github.com/golang/go/issues/61751>.
So we should not use the original fd of safeExe, but use the fd after
shuffled by Go stdlib. Because Go stdlib will guarantee this fd refers to
the correct file.

Aleksa Sarai 515f09f7b1 dmz: use overlayfs to write-protect /proc/self/exe if possible
Commit b999376fb2 ("nsenter: cloned_binary: remove bindfd logic
entirely") removed the read-only bind-mount logic from our cloned binary
code because it wasn't really safe because a container with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN could remove the MS_RDONLY bit and get write access to
/proc/self/exe (even with user namespaces this could've been an issue
because it's not clear if the flags are locked).

However, copying a binary does seem to have a minor performance impact.
The only way to have no performance impact would be for the kernel to
block these write attempts, but barring that we could try to reduce the
overhead by coming up with a mount that cannot have it's read-only bits
cleared.

The "simplest" solution is to create a temporary overlayfs using
fsopen(2) which uses the directory where runc exists as a lowerdir,
ensuring that the container cannot access the underlying file -- and we
don't have to do any copies.

While fsopen(2) is not free because mount namespace cloning is usually
expensive (and so it seems like the difference would be marginal), some
basic performance testing seems to indicate there is a ~60% improvement
doing it this way and that it has effectively no overhead even when
compared to just using /proc/self/exe directly:

Kir Kolyshkin b5bdf592f2 libct: rm initWaiter
This initWaiter logic was introduced by commit 4ecff8d9, but since the logic of
/proc/self/exe was moved out of runc init in commit 0e9a335, this
seems unnecessary to have initWaiter.

Remove it.

This essentially reverts commit 4ecff8d9.
