Use a fixed type of max_pending_packets instead of intmax_t which can
differ based on the platform/standard library.
Should also prevent lints about possible arithmetic overflow.

This commit changes the datatype of the tracking value for the last time
stats were dumped.
Changing the type also eliminates a comparison between values with
different signs.

This commit switches the majority of time handling to a new type --
SCTime_t -- which is a 64 bit container for time:
- 44 bits -- seconds
- 20 bits -- useconds
Each module (thread) updates its status to indicate running.
Main thread awaits for all threads to be in a running state
before continuing the initialisation process
Implements feature 5384
(https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/5384)
As Suricata is not supporting pcap-ng we have to stick with one single
datalink type for the capture if ever we want to do pcap logging.
Assuming this, this patch introduces a function to set the link
type globally. This will be used with pcap conditional logging
to get the logging of TCP segments with the correct link type.
Previously each 'TmSlot' had it's own packet queue that was passed
to the registered SlotFunc as an argument. This was used mostly for
tunnel packets by the decoders and by defrag.
This patch removes that in favor of a single queue in the ThreadVars:
decode_pq. This is the non-locked version of the queue as this is
only a temporary store for handling packets within a thread.
This patch removes the PacketQueue pointer argument from the API.
The new queue can be accessed directly through the ThreadVars
pointer.
When TmThreadsSlotProcessPkt fails it will return the packet that was
passed to it to the packetpool.
Some of the packet sources were doing this manually as well. This patch
fixes those sources.
Previously, source-pfring.c would copy the vlan_id from the extended
header only if vlan.use-for-tracking was enabled. This commit removes
that check.

Since the vlan.use-for-tracking setting is now handled in flow-hash.c,
we can fill in the vlan_id fields unconditionally. This makes the vlanh
fields unnecessary.

The capture threads can receive packets from the flow manager in their
Threadvars::stream_pq packet queue. This mechanism makes sure the packets
the flow manager injects into the engine are processed by the correct
worker thread.
If the capture thread(s) would not receive packets for a long time, the
Threadvars::stream_pq would not be checked and processed. This could
lead to packet pool depletion in the flow manager. It would also lead
to flows not being timed out/logged until either packets started flowing
again or until the engine was shut down.
The scenario is more likely to happen in a test (e.g. replay) but could
also delay logging on low traffic sensors.
According to PF_RING upstream the vlan header should never be stripped
from the packet PF_RING feeds to Suricata. But upstream also indicated
keeping the check would be a good "safety check".
So in addition to the check, add a warning that warns once (per thread
for implementation simplicity) if the vlan hdr does appear to be stripped
after all.
When Suricata was monitoring traffic with a single vlan layer, the stats
and output instead showed 2. This was caused by the raw packets PF_RING
feeds Suricata would hold the vlan header, but the code assumed that
the header was stripped and the vlan_id passed to Suricata through
PF_RING's extended_hdr.parsed_pkt.
This patch adds the following logic: Check vlan id from the parser packet
PF_RING prepared. PF_RING sets the vlan_id based on its own parsing or
based on the hardware offload. It gives no indication on where the vlan_id
came from, so we rely on the vlan_offset field. If it's 0, we assume the
PF_RING parser did not see the vlan header and got it from the hardware
offload. In this case we will use this information directly, as we won't
get a raw vlan header later. If PF_RING did set the offset, we do the
parsing in the Suricata decoder so that we have full control.
PF_RING *should* put back the vlan header in all cases, and also set the
vlan_offset field, but as a extra precaution keep the check described
above.
Bug #2355.
pfring.h brings a different version of likely/unlikely that gives
warnings. So make sure we include our own before.
Make sure pfring.h isn't included globally due to apparent redefinition
of pthread_rwlock_t.
This patch adds support for hw bypass by enabling flow offload in the network
card (when supported) and implementing the BypassPacketsFlow callback.
Hw bypass support is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting
"bypass: yes" in the pfring interface configuration section in suricata.yaml.
Set flags by default:
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wwrite-strings
-Wcast-align
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wformat-security
-Wno-format-nonliteral
-Wmissing-format-attribute
-funsigned-char
Fix minor compiler warnings for these new flags on gcc and clang.
Reset packet profiling after pfring_recv. The packet was taken from
the packet pool before this call. The packet will already have it's
start ticks initialized. To avoid including ticks while pfring_recv
waits for traffic, reset the ticks right after it.
Capture methods that are non blocking will still not generate packets
that go through the system if there is no traffic. Some maintenance
tasks, like rule reloads rely on packets to complete.
This patch introduces a new thread flag, THV_CAPTURE_INJECT_PKT, that
instructs the capture thread to create a fake packet.
The capture implementations can call the TmThreadsCaptureInjectPacket
utility function either with the packet they already got from the pool
or without a packet. In this case the util func will get it's own
packet.
Implementations for pcap, AF_PACKET and PF_RING.
This patch adds a new callback PktAcqBreakLoop() in TmModule to let
packet acquisition modules define "break-loop" functions to terminate
the capture loop. This is useful in case of blocking functions that
need special actions to take place in order to stop the execution.
Implement this for PF_RING
Suricata creates a pfring cluster with a default ID = 1 when not explicitly configured,
unless the device has prefix 'dna' or 'zc'. Since pf_ring also supports other cards
implementing kernel-bypass (cluster not supported), this is preventing those cards from
running on top of this module. This patch stops suricata on 'pfring_set_cluster' failure
only when error code != PF_RING_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED or cluster ID has not been explicitly
configured.
For each packet the capture module checks whether it is time to dump stats calling
TimeGet(). TimeGet() is an expensive function using gettimeofday() or SCSpinLock()
which affect performance. Since gettimeofday() is already called for setting packet
timestamp, it is more efficient to use the packet timestamp directly.
