The usage of memfd_create(2) and other copying techniques is quite
wasteful, despite attempts to minimise it with _LIBCONTAINER_STATEDIR.
memfd_create(2) added ~10M of memory usage to the cgroup associated with
the container, which can result in some setups getting OOM'd (or just
hogging the hosts' memory when you have lots of created-but-not-started
containers sticking around).
The easiest way of solving this is by creating a read-only bind-mount of
the binary, opening that read-only bindmount, and then umounting it to
ensure that the host won't accidentally be re-mounted read-write. This
avoids all copying and cleans up naturally like the other techniques
used. Unfortunately, like the O_TMPFILE fallback, this requires being
able to create a file inside _LIBCONTAINER_STATEDIR (since bind-mounting
over the most obvious path -- /proc/self/exe -- is a *very bad idea*).
Unfortunately detecting this isn't fool-proof -- on a system with a
read-only root filesystem (that might become read-write during "runc
init" execution), we cannot tell whether we have already done an ro
remount. As a partial mitigation, we store a _LIBCONTAINER_CLONED_BINARY
environment variable which is checked *alongside* the protection being
present.

Writing a file to tmpfs actually incurs a memcg penalty, and thus the
benefit of being able to disable memfd_create(2) with
_LIBCONTAINER_DISABLE_MEMFD_CLONE is fairly minimal -- though it should
be noted that quite a few distributions don't use tmpfs for /tmp (and
instead have it as a regular directory or subvolume of the host
filesystem).
Since runc must have write access to the state directory anyway (and the
state directory is usually not on a tmpfs) we can use that instead of
/tmp -- avoiding potential memcg costs with no real downside.

In order to get around the memfd_create(2) requirement, 0a8e4117e7
("nsenter: clone /proc/self/exe to avoid exposing host binary to
container") added an O_TMPFILE fallback. However, this fallback was
flawed in two ways:
* It required O_TMPFILE which is relatively new (having been added to
Linux 3.11).
* The fallback choice was made at compile-time, not runtime. This
results in several complications when it comes to running binaries
on different machines to the ones they were built on.
The easiest way to resolve these things is to have fallbacks work in a
more procedural way (though it does make the code unfortunately more
complicated) and to add a new fallback that uses mkotemp(3).

For a variety of reasons, sendfile(2) can end up doing a short-copy so
we need to just loop until we hit the binary size. Since /proc/self/exe
is tautologically our own binary, there's no chance someone is going to
modify it underneath us (or changing the size).

The CRIU test for lazy migration was always skipped in Travis because
the kernel was too old. This switches Travis testing to dist: xenial
which provides a newer kernel which enables CRIU lazy migration testing.

This makes use of the vendored in Go bindings and removes the copy of
the CRIU RPC interface definition. runc now relies on go-criu for RPC
definition and hopefully more CRIU functions can be used in the future
from the CRIU Go bindings.

Now that CRIU has released Go bindings, this commit vendors those in.
At first it only replaces the copy of RPC interface but the goal is to
use CRIU functions from the Go bindings instead of replicating the
functionality in runc.

My first attempt to simplify this and make it less costly focussed on
the way constructors are called. I was under the impression that the ELF
specification mandated that arg, argv, and actually even envp need to be
passed to functions located in the .init_arry section (aka
"constructors"). Actually, the specifications is (cf. [2]):
SHT_INIT_ARRAY
This section contains an array of pointers to initialization functions,
as described in ``Initialization and Termination Functions'' in Chapter
5. Each pointer in the array is taken as a parameterless procedure with
a void return.
which means that this becomes a libc specific decision. Glibc passes
down those args, musl doesn't. So this approach can't work. However, we
can at least remove the environment parsing part based on POSIX since
[1] mandates that there should be an environ variable defined in
unistd.h which provides access to the environment. See also the relevant
Open Group specification [1].

The detection for scope properties (whether scope units support
DefaultDependencies= or Delegate=) has always been broken, since systemd
refuses to create scopes unless at least one PID is attached to it (and
this has been so since scope units were introduced in systemd v205.)
This can be seen in journal logs whenever a container is started with
libpod:
Feb 11 15:08:07 myhost systemd[1]: libcontainer-12345-systemd-test-default-dependencies.scope: Scope has no PIDs. Refusing.
Feb 11 15:08:07 myhost systemd[1]: libcontainer-12345-systemd-test-default-dependencies.scope: Scope has no PIDs. Refusing.
Since this logic never worked, just assume both attributes are supported
(which is what the code does when detection fails for this reason, since
it's looking for an "unknown attribute" or "read-only attribute" to mark
them as false) and skip the detection altogether.

There are quite a few circumstances where /proc/self/exe pointing to a
pretty important container binary is a _bad_ thing, so to avoid this we
have to make a copy (preferably doing self-clean-up and not being
writeable).
We require memfd_create(2) -- though there is an O_TMPFILE fallback --
but we can always extend this to use a scratch MNT_DETACH overlayfs or
tmpfs. The main downside to this approach is no page-cache sharing for
the runc binary (which overlayfs would give us) but this is far less
complicated.
This is only done during nsenter so that it happens transparently to the
Go code, and any libcontainer users benefit from it. This also makes
ExtraFiles and --preserve-fds handling trivial (because we don't need to
worry about it).

When creating a new user namespace, the kernel doesn't allow to mount
a new procfs or sysfs file system if there is not already one instance
fully visible in the current mount namespace.
When using --no-pivot we were effectively inhibiting this protection
from the kernel, as /proc and /sys from the host are still present in
the container mount namespace.
A container without full access to /proc could then create a new user
namespace, and from there able to mount a fully visible /proc, bypassing
the limitations in the container.
A simple reproducer for this issue is:
unshare -mrfp sh -c "mount -t proc none /proc && echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger"

This patch fixes a corner case when destroy a container:
If we start a container without 'intelRdt' config set, and then we run
“runc update --l3-cache-schema/--mem-bw-schema” to add 'intelRdt' config
implicitly.
Now if we enter "exit" from the container inside, we will pass through
linuxContainer.Destroy() -> state.destroy() -> intelRdtManager.Destroy().
But in IntelRdtManager.Destroy(), IntelRdtManager.Path is still null
string, it hasn’t been initialized yet. As a result, the created rdt
group directory during "runc update" will not be removed as expected.

For the newly integrated feature to use CRIU configuration files the
test is broken without an additional CRIU patch.
The test changes CRIU's log file. Changing the log file is unfortunately
the only thing which is in broken in CRIU 3.11. But it is the easiest
option for testing. With CRIU 3.12 this will be fixed. All other CRIU
options can be changed with a CRIU configuration file.
With this change the CRIU 3.11 feature can be merged into runc with a
test and for the user it should just work, if they are not trying to
change CRIU's log file.

CRIU 3.11 introduces configuration files:
https://criu.org/Configuration_fileshttps://lisas.de/~adrian/posts/2018-Nov-08-criu-configuration-files.html
This enables the user to influence CRIU's behaviour without code changes
if using new CRIU features or if the user wants to enable certain CRIU
behaviour without always specifying certain options.
With this it is possible to write 'tcp-established' to the configuration
file:
$ echo tcp-established > /etc/criu/runc.conf
and from now on all checkpoints will preserve the state of established
TCP connections. This removes the need to always use
$ runc checkpoint --tcp-stablished
If the goal is to always checkpoint with '--tcp-established'
It also adds the possibility for unexpected CRIU behaviour if the user
created a configuration file at some point in time and forgets about it.
As a result of the discussion in https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/1933
it is now also possible to define a CRIU configuration file for each
container with the annotation 'org.criu.config'.
If 'org.criu.config' does not exist, runc will tell CRIU to use
'/etc/criu/runc.conf' if it exists.
If 'org.criu.config' is set to an empty string (''), runc will tell CRIU
to not use any runc specific configuration file at all.
If 'org.criu.config' is set to a non-empty string, runc will use that
value as an additional configuration file for CRIU.
With the annotation the user can decide to use the default configuration
file ('/etc/criu/runc.conf'), none or a container specific configuration
file.
