The `qemu` driver uses our universal executor to run the qemu command line
tool. Because qemu owns the resource isolation, we don't pass in the resource
block that the universal executor uses to configure cgroups and core
pinning. This resulted in a panic.
Fix the panic by returning early in the cgroup configuration in the universal
executor. This fixes `qemu` but also any third-party drivers that might exist
and are using our executor code without passing in the resource block.
In future work, we should ensure that the `resources` block is being translated
into qemu equivalents, so that we have support for things like NUMA-aware
scheduling for that driver.

No functional changes, just cleaning up deprecated usages that are
removed in v2 and replace one call of .Slice with .ForEach to avoid
making the intermediate copy.
* drivers: plumb hardware topology via grpc into drivers
This PR swaps out the temporary use of detecting system hardware manually
in each driver for using the Client's detected topology by plumbing the
data over gRPC. This ensures that Client configuration is taken to account
consistently in all references to system topology.
* cr: use enum instead of bool for core grade
* cr: fix test slit tables to be possible
* client: refactor cpuset partitioning
This PR updates the way Nomad client manages the split between tasks
that make use of resources.cpus vs. resources.cores.
Previously, each task was explicitly assigned which CPU cores they were
able to run on. Every time a task was started or destroyed, all other
tasks' cpusets would need to be updated. This was inefficient and would
crush the Linux kernel when a client would try to run ~400 or so tasks.
Now, we make use of cgroup heirarchy and cpuset inheritence to efficiently
manage cpusets.
* cr: tweaks for feedback
Although nomad officially does not support running the client as a non-root
user, doing so has been more or less possible with the raw_exec driver as
long as you don't expect features to work like networking or running tasks
as specific users. In the cgroups refactoring I bulldozed right over the
special casing we had in place for raw_exec to continue working if the cgroups
were unable to be created. This PR restores that behavior - you can now
(as before) run the nomad client as a non-root user and make use of the
raw_exec task driver.
Before this commit, it was only used for fingerprinting, but not
for CPU stats on nodes or tasks. This meant that if the
auto-detection failed, setting the cpu_total_compute didn't resolved
the issue.
This issue was most noticeable on ARM64, as there auto-detection
always failed.
This complements the `env` parameter, so that the operator can author
tasks that don't share their Vault token with the workload when using
`image` filesystem isolation. As a result, more powerful tokens can be used
in a job definition, allowing it to use template stanzas to issue all kinds of
secrets (database secrets, Vault tokens with very specific policies, etc.),
without sharing that issuing power with the task itself.
This is accomplished by creating a directory called `private` within
the task's working directory, which shares many properties of
the `secrets` directory (tmpfs where possible, not accessible by
`nomad alloc fs` or Nomad's web UI), but isn't mounted into/bound to the
container.
If the `disable_file` parameter is set to `false` (its default), the Vault token
is also written to the NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR, so the default behavior is
backwards compatible. Even if the operator never changes the default,
they will still benefit from the improved behavior of Nomad never reading
the token back in from that - potentially altered - location.
* client: do not disable memory swappiness if kernel does not support it
This PR adds a workaround for very old Linux kernels which do not support
the memory swappiness interface file. Normally we write a "0" to the file
to explicitly disable swap. In the case the kernel does not support it,
give libcontainer a nil value so it does not write anything.

On Windows the executor returns an error when trying to open the `NUL` device
when we pass it `os.DevNull` for the stdout/stderr paths. Instead of opening the
device, use the discard pipe so that we have platform-specific behavior from the
executor itself.
Fixes: #17148
Currently, the `exec` driver is only setting the Bounding set, which is
not sufficient to actually enable the requisite capabilities for the
task process. In order for the capabilities to survive `execve`
performed by libcontainer, the `Permitted`, `Inheritable`, and `Ambient`
sets must also be set.
Per CAPABILITIES (7):
> Ambient: This is a set of capabilities that are preserved across an
> execve(2) of a program that is not privileged. The ambient capability
> set obeys the invariant that no capability can ever be ambient if it
> is not both permitted and inheritable.
* Update ioutil library references to os and io respectively for drivers package
No user facing changes so I assume no change log is required
* Fix failing tests
The exec driver and other drivers derived from the shared executor check the
path of the command before handing off to libcontainer to ensure that the
command doesn't escape the sandbox. But we don't check any host volume mounts,
which should be safe to use as a source for executables if we're letting the
user mount them to the container in the first place.
Check the mount config to verify the executable lives in the mount's host path,
but then return an absolute path within the mount's task path so that we can hand
that off to libcontainer to run.
Includes a good bit of refactoring here because the anchoring of the final task
path has different code paths for inside the task dir vs inside a mount. But
I've fleshed out the test coverage of this a good bit to ensure we haven't
created any regressions in the process.
* client: protect user lookups with global lock
This PR updates Nomad client to always do user lookups while holding
a global process lock. This is to prevent concurrency unsafe implementations
of NSS, but still enabling NSS lookups of users (i.e. cannot not use osusergo).
* cl: add cl
The `golang.org/x/net/context` package was merged into the stdlib as of go
1.7. Update the imports to use the identical stdlib version. Clean up import
blocks for the impacted files to remove unnecessary package aliasing.
* test: use `T.TempDir` to create temporary test directory
This commit replaces `ioutil.TempDir` with `t.TempDir` in tests. The
directory created by `t.TempDir` is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using `ioutil.TempDir`
needs to be removed manually by calling `os.RemoveAll`, which is omitted
in some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but `t.TempDir` handles this for us nicely.

This test exercises upgrades between 0.8 and Nomad versions greater
than 0.9. We have not supported 0.8.x in a very long time and in any
case the test has been marked to skip because the downloader doesn't
work.
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.

* 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.

Fixes#2522
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.

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
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.
