* Add more metrics
This change adds the following counter metrics:
Metrics to track packets dropped at the firewall:
firewall.dropped.local_ip
firewall.dropped.remote_ip
firewall.dropped.no_rule
Metrics to track handshakes attempts that have been initiated and ones
that have timed out (ones that have completed are tracked by the
existing "handshakes" histogram).
handshake_manager.initiated
handshake_manager.timed_out
Metrics to track when cached_packets are dropped because we run out of
buffer space, and how many are sent once the handshake completes.
hostinfo.cached_packets.dropped
hostinfo.cached_packets.sent
This change also notes how many cached packets we have when we log the
final "Handshake received" message for either stage1 for stage2.
* separate incoming/outgoing metrics
* remove "allowed" firewall metrics
We don't need this on the hotpath, they aren't worh it.
* don't need pointers here
This change fixes all of the known data races that `make smoke-docker-race` finds, except for one.
Most of these races are around the handshake phase for a hostinfo, so we add a RWLock to the hostinfo and Lock during each of the handshake stages.
Some of the other races are around consistently using `atomic` around the `messageCounter` field. To make this harder to mess up, I have renamed the field to `atomicMessageCounter` (I also removed the unnecessary extra pointer deference as we can just point directly to the struct field).
The last remaining data race is around reading `ConnectionInfo.ready`, which is a boolean that is only written to once when the handshake has finished. Due to it being in the hot path for packets and the rare case that this could actually be an issue, holding off on fixing that one for now.
here is the results of `make smoke-docker-race`:
before:
lighthouse1: Found 2 data race(s)
host2: Found 36 data race(s)
host3: Found 17 data race(s)
host4: Found 31 data race(s)
after:
host2: Found 1 data race(s)
host4: Found 1 data race(s)

Previously, every packet we see gets a lock on the conntrack table and updates it. When running with multiple routines, this can cause heavy lock contention and limit our ability for the threads to run independently. This change caches reads from the conntrack table for a very short period of time to reduce this lock contention. This cache will currently default to disabled unless you are running with multiple routines, in which case the default cache delay will be 1 second. This means that entries in the conntrack table may be up to 1 second out of date and remain in a routine local cache for up to 1 second longer than the global table.
Instead of calling time.Now() for every packet, this cache system relies on a tick thread that updates the current cache "version" each tick. Every packet we check if the cache version is out of date, and reset the cache if so.
This change is for Linux only.
Previously, when running with multiple tun.routines, we would only have one file descriptor. This change instead sets IFF_MULTI_QUEUE and opens a file descriptor for each routine. This allows us to process with multiple threads while preventing out of order packet reception issues.
To attempt to distribute the flows across the queues, we try to write to the tun/UDP queue that corresponds with the one we read from. So if we read a packet from tun queue "2", we will write the outgoing encrypted packet to UDP queue "2". Because of the nature of how multi queue works with flows, a given host tunnel will be sticky to a given routine (so if you try to performance benchmark by only using one tunnel between two hosts, you are only going to be using a max of one thread for each direction).
Because this system works much better when we can correlate flows between the tun and udp routines, we are deprecating the undocumented "tun.routines" and "listen.routines" parameters and introducing a new "routines" parameter that sets the value for both. If you use the old undocumented parameters, the max of the values will be used and a warning logged.

Currently, we drop the conntrack table when firewall rules change during a SIGHUP reload. This means responses to inflight HTTP requests can be dropped, among other issues. This change copies the conntrack table over to the new firewall (it holds the conntrack mutex lock during this process, to be safe).
This change also records which firewall rules hash each conntrack entry used, so that we can re-verify the rules after the new firewall has been loaded.
This commit updates the Interface.Inside type to be a new interface
type instead of a *Tun. This will allow for an inside interface
that does not use a tun device, such as a single-binary client that
can run without elevated privileges.
This change add more metrics around "meta" (non "message" type packets).
For lighthouse packets, we also record statistics around the specific
lighthouse meta type.
We don't keep statistics for the "message" type so that we don't slow
down the fast path (and you can just look at metrics on the tun
interface to find that information).
