2013-05-30netsniff-ng: Add __maybe_unused attribute to timer functionsTobias Klauser1-3/+2
The two functions timer_elapsed() and timer_next_dump() both take an argument which they don't use. Annotate them appropriately using the __maybe_unused attribute. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2013-05-23make: include build nameDaniel Borkmann1-1/+1
Include long version string into tools when called with --version. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-05-17netsniff-ng: Add __noreturn attribute to exiting functionsTobias Klauser1-2/+2
Add the __noreturn attribute to all functions which wont return but call die() themselves to exit(). Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2013-05-15man: trafgen: Minor fixesTobias Klauser1-1/+1
Replace "on default" by "by default", make it a bit more clear what the seed in the -E/--seed option is for and mention exit after display of information on --version and --help. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2013-05-13ring: break out timestamping since not directly relatedDaniel Borkmann1-0/+2
Break out the timestamping part of the ring.h file, since it's not directly related to the {t,r}x_ring. Also inlining doesn't make sense here. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-04-23netsniff-ng: remove set_sockopt_hwtimestamp callDaniel Borkmann1-1/+0
For TX this call is completly useless and has no effect whatsoever. Therefore, remove it. For the RX part, this call makes perfect sense, not for the other one currently. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-04-11netsniff-ng: mlock: only lock current and future pages when rootDaniel Borkmann1-2/+4
When we're still root, we tell the kernel to lock/protect all current and future pages in memory so that they will not be swapped out in case the system uses up too much. Now when we do xzmalloc_aligned(), it calls internally posix_memalign() that can call mmap(2), thus we will get an EAGAIN as errno, since we're not root anymore and since we wanted to touch sth. that belongs to root. Nasty. Fix this up by only protecting these pages when we do not use -u/-g. Reported-by: Doug Burks <doug.burks@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-04-09pcap_io: introduce init_once helper that is called with priviledgesDaniel Borkmann1-0/+9
When using netsniff-ng with dropping priviledges, we have to introduce another pcap helper function that is called once before we drop the priviledges. In this function we have to invoke the disc I/O scheduler policy, because it needs priviledges. Otherwise netsniff-ng will fail with "Failed to set io prio for pid" on startup, since we're not root anymore.

2013-04-06netsniff-ng: also capture if NIC is currently downDaniel Borkmann1-5/+0
There is actually no reason why netsniff-ng should fail if the NIC is down at startup. We still can setup everything and already capture at the time it goes up. This might be useful when replugging cables on servers, for instance. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-03-28ring: purge timer before we unmap tx ring buffersDaniel Borkmann1-0/+19
If we unmap TX ring buffers and still have timer shots that trigger the kernel to traverse the TX_RING, it can send out random crap in some situations. Prevent this by destroying the timer and flush the TX_RING first in wait mode. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-03-16netsniff-ng: if we cannot get intermediate pcap statistics, panicDaniel Borkmann1-1/+5
Before we do calculations on statistics, check if we really got them. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-03-16netsniff-ng trafgen: check return value of pull_and_flush_ringDaniel Borkmann1-1/+12
Let us check the return value when the timer triggers a TX flush request to the kernel. However, ignore the case of BADFS and NOBUFS. The socket could already have been closed before the timer triggers in the first case, and in the second, we just let the next timer continue processing if currently the buffer space is exhausted.

2013-03-16netsniff-ng: do not leak file descriptors on exitDaniel Borkmann1-9/+6
Covertiy detected that when we redirect sdtin/stdout either via ``-i -'' or ``-o -'', we also need to properly close it when it goes out of scope. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-03-15all: import netsniff-ng 0.5.8-rc0 sourceDaniel Borkmann1-0/+1369
We decided to get rid of the old Git history and start a new one for several reasons: *) Allow / enforce only high-quality commits (which was not the case for many commits in the history), have a policy that is more close to the one from the Linux kernel. With high quality commits, we mean code that is logically split into commits and commit messages that are signed-off and have a proper subject and message body. We do not allow automatic Github merges anymore, since they are total bullshit. However, we will either cherry-pick your patches or pull them manually. *) The old archive was about ~27MB for no particular good reason. This basically derived from the bad decision that also some PDF files where stored there. From this moment onwards, no binary objects are allowed to be stored in this repository anymore. The old archive is not wiped away from the Internet. You will still be able to find it, e.g. on git.cryptoism.org etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
