This PR adds support for the raw_exec driver on systems with only cgroups v2.
The raw exec driver is able to use cgroups to manage processes. This happens
only on Linux, when exec_driver is enabled, and the no_cgroups option is not
set. The driver uses the freezer controller to freeze processes of a task,
issue a sigkill, then unfreeze. Previously the implementation assumed cgroups
v1, and now it also supports cgroups v2.
There is a bit of refactoring in this PR, but the fundamental design remains
the same.
Closes#12351#12348
This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1]
enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux
distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems
for Nomad users.
Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer,
but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of
a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2
this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values
must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process,
rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved
parents.
Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2
mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to
use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support
cgroups v2 are also not affected.
When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless
otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using
naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention
set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected.
Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version
which will be set to 'v1' or 'v2' to indicate the cgroups regime in use by
Nomad.
The new cpuset management strategy fixes#11705, where docker tasks that
spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are
started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of
the leak is eliminated.

This PR replaces use of time.After with a safe helper function
that creates a time.Timer to use instead. The new function returns
both a time.Timer and a Stop function that the caller must handle.
Unlike time.NewTimer, the helper function does not panic if the duration
set is <= 0.
* driver: fix integer conversion error
The shared executor incorrectly parsed the user's group into int32 and
then cast to uint32 without bounds checking. This is harmless because
an out-of-bounds gid will throw an error later, but it triggers
security and code quality scans. Parse directly to uint32 so that we
get correct error handling.
* helper: fix integer conversion error
The autopilot flags helper incorrectly parses a uint64 to a uint which
is machine specific size. Although we don't have 32-bit builds, this
sets off security and code quality scaans. Parse to the machine sized
uint.
* driver: restrict bounds of port map
The plugin server doesn't constrain the maximum integer for port
maps. This could result in a user-visible misconfiguration, but it
also triggers security and code quality scans. Restrict the bounds
before casting to int32 and return an error.
* cpuset: restrict upper bounds of cpuset values
Our cpuset configuration expects values in the range of uint16 to
match the expectations set by the kernel, but we don't constrain the
values before downcasting. An underflow could lead to allocations
failing on the client rather than being caught earlier. This also make
security and code quality scanners happy.
* http: fix integer downcast for per_page parameter
The parser for the `per_page` query parameter downcasts to int32
without bounds checking. This could result in underflow and
nonsensical paging, but there's no server-side consequences for
this. Fixing this will silence some security and code quality scanners
though.
This PR upgrades our CI images and fixes some affected tests.
- upgrade go-machine-image to premade latest ubuntu LTS (ubuntu-2004:202111-02)
- eliminate go-machine-recent-image (no longer necessary)
- manage GOPATH in GNUMakefile (see https://discuss.circleci.com/t/gopath-is-set-to-multiple-directories/7174)
- fix tcp dial error check (message seems to be OS specific)
- spot check values measured instead of specifically 'RSS' (rss no longer reported in cgroups v2)
- use safe MkdirTemp for generating tmpfiles
NOT applied: (too flakey)
- eliminate setting GOMAXPROCS=1 (build tools were also affected by this setting)
- upgrade resource type for all imanges to large (2C -> 4C)
github.com/kr/pty was moved to github.com/creack/pty
Swap this dependency so we can upgrade to the latest version
and no longer need a replace directive.
When we copy the system DNS to a task's `resolv.conf`, we should set
the permissions as world-readable so that unprivileged users within
the task can read it.
The QEMU driver allows arbitrary command line options, but many of
these options give access to host resources that operators may not
want to expose such as devices. Add an optional allowlist to the
plugin configuration so that operators can limit the resources for
QEMU.

Skip embedding client.alloc_dir when building chroot. If a user
configures a Nomad client agent so that the chroot_env will embed the
client.alloc_dir, Nomad will happily infinitely recurse while building
the chroot until something horrible happens. The best case scenario is
the filesystem's path length limit is hit. The worst case scenario is
disk space is exhausted.
A bad agent configuration will look something like this:
```hcl
data_dir = "/tmp/nomad-badagent"
client {
enabled = true
chroot_env {
# Note that the source matches the data_dir
"/tmp/nomad-badagent" = "/ohno"
# ...
}
}
```
Note that `/ohno/client` (the state_dir) will still be created but not
`/ohno/alloc` (the alloc_dir).
While I cannot think of a good reason why someone would want to embed
Nomad's client (and possibly server) directories in chroots, there
should be no cause for harm. chroots are only built when Nomad runs as
root, and Nomad disables running exec jobs as root by default. Therefore
even if client state is copied into chroots, it will be inaccessible to
tasks.
Skipping the `data_dir` and `{client,server}.state_dir` is possible, but
this PR attempts to implement the minimum viable solution to reduce risk
of unintended side effects or bugs.
When running tests as root in a vm without the fix, the following error
occurs:
```

Suppress stats streaming error log messages when task finishes.
Streaming errors are expected when a task finishes and they aren't
actionable to users.
Also, note that the task runner Stats hook retries collecting stats
after a delay. If the connection terminates prematurely, it will be
retried, and closing the stats stream is not very disruptive.
Ideally, executor terminates cleanly when task exits, but that's a more
substantial change that may require changing the executor/drivers interface.
Fixes#10814
Add a new hostname string parameter to the network block which
allows operators to specify the hostname of the network namespace.
Changing this causes a destructive update to the allocation and it
is omitted if empty from API responses. This parameter also supports
interpolation.
In order to have a hostname passed as a configuration param when
creating an allocation network, the CreateNetwork func of the
DriverNetworkManager interface needs to be updated. In order to
minimize the disruption of future changes, rather than add another
string func arg, the function now accepts a request struct along with
the allocID param. The struct has the hostname as a field.
The in-tree implementations of DriverNetworkManager.CreateNetwork
have been modified to account for the function signature change.
In updating for the change, the enhancement of adding hostnames to
network namespaces has also been added to the Docker driver, whilst
the default Linux manager does not current implement it.
In Nomad 1.1.1 we generate a hosts file based on the Nomad-owned network
namespace, rather than using the default hosts file from the pause
container. This hosts file should be shared between tasks in the same
allocation so that tasks can update the file and have the results propagated
between tasks.
When `network.mode = "bridge"`, we create a pause container in Docker with no
networking so that we have a process to hold the network namespace we create
in Nomad. The default `/etc/hosts` file of that pause container is then used
for all the Docker tasks that share that network namespace. Some applications
rely on this file being populated.
This changeset generates a `/etc/hosts` file and bind-mounts it to the
container when Nomad owns the network, so that the container's hostname has an
IP in the file as expected. The hosts file will include the entries added by
the Docker driver's `extra_hosts` field.
In this changeset, only the Docker task driver will take advantage of this
option, as the `exec`/`java` drivers currently copy the host's `/etc/hosts`
file and this can't be changed without breaking backwards compatibility. But
the fields are available in the task driver protobuf for community task
drivers to use if they'd like.
This PR improves the regular expression used for matching the java

Explicitly set the `oom_score_adj` value for `exec` and `java` tasks.
We recommend that the Nomad service to have oom_score_adj of a low value
(e.g. -1000) to avoid having nomad agent OOM Killed if the node is
oversubscriped.
However, Nomad's workloads should not inherit Nomad's process, which is
the default behavior.
Fixes#10663
The error output being checked depends on the linux caps supported
by the particular operating system. Fix these test cases to just
check that an error did occur.
Update docs for allow_caps, cap_add, cap_drop in exec/java/docker driver
pages. Also update upgrade guide with guidance on new default linux
capabilities for exec and java drivers.
This changeset does not introduce any functional change for the
docker driver, but rather cleans up the implementation around
computing configured capabilities by re-using code written for
the exec/java task drivers.
This PR enables setting allow_caps on the exec driver
plugin configuration, as well as cap_add and cap_drop in
exec task configuration. These options replicate the
functionality already present in the docker task driver.
Important: this change also reduces the default set of
capabilities enabled by the exec driver to match the
default set enabled by the docker driver. Until v1.0.5
the exec task driver would enable all capabilities supported
by the operating system. v1.0.5 removed NET_RAW from that
list of default capabilities, but left may others which
could potentially also be leveraged by compromised tasks.
Important: the "root" user is still special cased when
used with the exec driver. Older versions of Nomad enabled
enabled all capabilities supported by the operating system
for tasks set with the root user. To maintain compatibility
with existing clusters we continue supporting this "feature",
however we maintain support for the legacy set of capabilities
rather than enabling all capabilities now supported on modern
operating systems.
The default Linux Capabilities set enabled by the docker, exec, and
java task drivers includes CAP_NET_RAW (for making ping just work),
which has the side affect of opening an ARP DoS/MiTM attack between
tasks using bridge networking on the same host network.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#runtime-privilege-and-linux-capabilities
This PR disables CAP_NET_RAW for the docker, exec, and java task
drivers. The previous behavior can be restored for docker using the
allow_caps docker plugin configuration option.
A future version of nomad will enable similar configurability for the
exec and java task drivers.
This fixes a bug where Nomad overrides a Dockerfile's STOPSIGNAL with
the default kill_signal (SIGTERM).
This adds a check for kill_signal. If it's not set, it calls
StopContainer instead of Signal, which uses STOPSIGNAL if it's
specified. If both kill_signal and STOPSIGNAL are set, Nomad tries to
stop the container with kill_signal first, before then calling
StopContainer.
