In order to provide a DNS address and port to Connect tasks configured for
transparent proxy, we need to fingerprint the Consul DNS address and port. The
client will pass this address/port to the iptables configuration provided to the
`consul-cni` plugin.

Support for fingerprinting the Consul admin partition was added in #19485. But
when the client fingerprints Consul CE, it gets a valid fingerprint and working
Consul but with a warn-level log. Return "ok" from the partition extractor, but
also ensure that we only add the Consul attribute if it actually has a value.
Fixes: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/19756
Consul Enterprise agents all belong to an admin partition. Fingerprint this
attribute when available. When a Consul agent is not explicitly configured with
"default" it is in the default partition but will not report this in its
`/v1/agent/self` endpoint. Fallback to "default" when missing only for Consul
Enterprise.
This feature provides users the ability to add constraints for jobs to land on
Nomad nodes that have a Consul in that partition. Or it can allow cluster
administrators to pair Consul partitions 1:1 with Nomad node pools. We'll also
have the option to implement a future `partition` field in the jobspec's
`consul` block to create an implicit constraint.

Remove the now-unused original configuration blocks for Consul and Vault from
the client. When the client needs to refer to a Consul or Vault block it will
always be for a specific cluster for the task/service. Add a helper for
accessing the default clusters (for the client's own use).
This is two of three changesets for this work. The remainder will implement the
same changes in the `command/agent` package.
As part of this work I discovered and fixed two bugs:
* The gRPC proxy socket that we create for Envoy is only ever created using the
default Consul cluster's configuration. This will prevent Connect from being
used with the non-default cluster.
* The Consul configuration we use for templates always comes from the default
Consul cluster's configuration, but will use the correct Consul token for the
non-default cluster. This will prevent templates from being used with the
non-default cluster.

* core: plumbing to support numa aware scheduling
* core: apply node resources compatibility upon fsm rstore
Handle the case where an upgraded server dequeus an evaluation before
a client triggers a new fingerprint - which would be needed to cause
the compatibility fix to run. By running the compat fix on restore the
server will immediately have the compatible pseudo topology to use.
* lint: learn how to spell pseudo
* vault: update identity name to start with `vault_`
In the original proposal, workload identities used to derive Vault
tokens were expected to be called just `vault`. But in order to support
multiple Vault clusters it is necessary to associate identities with
specific Vault cluster configuration.
This commit implements a new proposal to have Vault identities named as
`vault_<cluster>`.
Nomad Enterprise will support configuring multiple Vault clients. Instead of
having a single Vault client field in the Nomad client, we'll have a function
that callers can parameterize by the Vault cluster name that returns the
correctly configured Vault API client wrapper.
* 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
In the original design of Consul fingerprinting, we would poll every period so
that we could change the client's fingerprint if Consul became unavailable. As
of 1.4.0 (ref #14673) we no longer update the fingerprint in order to avoid
excessive `Node.Register` RPCs when someone's Consul cluster is flapping.
This allows us to safely backoff Consul fingerprinting on success, just as we
have with Vault.
fingerprint: add support for fingerprinting multiple Consul clusters
Add fingerprinting we'll need to accept multiple Consul clusters in upcoming
Nomad Enterprise features. The fingerprinter will create a map of Consul clients
by cluster name. In Nomad CE, all but the default cluster will be ignored and
there will be no visible behavior change.

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.
Consul v1.13.8 was released with a breaking change in the /v1/agent/self
endpoint version where a line break was being returned.
This caused the Nomad finterprint to fail because `NewVersion` errors on
parse.
This commit removes any extra space from the Consul version returned by
the API.
* client/fingerprint: correctly fingerprint E/P cores of Apple Silicon chips
This PR adds detection of asymetric core types (Power & Efficiency) (P/E)
when running on M1/M2 Apple Silicon CPUs. This functionality is provided
by shoenig/go-m1cpu which makes use of the Apple IOKit framework to read
undocumented registers containing CPU performance data. Currently working
on getting that functionality merged upstream into gopsutil, but gopsutil
would still not support detecting P vs E cores like this PR does.
Also refactors the CPUFingerprinter code to handle the mixed core
types, now setting power vs efficiency cpu attributes.
For now the scheduler is still unaware of mixed core types - on Apple
platforms tasks cannot reserve cores anyway so it doesn't matter, but
at least now the total CPU shares available will be correct.
Future work should include adding support for detecting P/E cores on
the latest and upcoming Intel chips, where computation of total cpu shares
is currently incorrect. For that, we should also include updating the
scheduler to be core-type aware, so that tasks of resources.cores on Linux
platforms can be assigned the correct number of CPU shares for the core
type(s) they have been assigned.

* vault: configure user agent on Nomad vault clients
This PR attempts to set the User-Agent header on each Vault API client
created by Nomad. Still need to figure a way to set User-Agent on the
Vault client created internally by consul-template.
* vault: fixup find-and-replace gone awry
* client: sandbox go-getter subprocess with landlock
This PR re-implements the getter package for artifact downloads as a subprocess.
Key changes include
On all platforms, run getter as a child process of the Nomad agent.
On Linux platforms running as root, run the child process as the nobody user.
On supporting Linux kernels, uses landlock for filesystem isolation (via go-landlock).
On all platforms, restrict environment variables of the child process to a static set.
notably TMP/TEMP now points within the allocation's task directory
kernel.landlock attribute is fingerprinted (version number or unavailable)
These changes make Nomad client more resilient against a faulty go-getter implementation that may panic, and more secure against bad actors attempting to use artifact downloads as a privilege escalation vector.
Adds new e2e/artifact suite for ensuring artifact downloading works.
TODO: Windows git test (need to modify the image, etc... followup PR)
* landlock: fixup items from cr
* cr: fixup tests and go.mod file

* client: accommodate Consul 1.14.0 gRPC and agent self changes.
Consul 1.14.0 changed the way in which gRPC listeners are
configured, particularly when using TLS. Prior to the change, a
single listener was responsible for handling plain-text and
encrypted gRPC requests. In 1.14.0 and beyond, separate listeners
will be used for each, defaulting to 8502 and 8503 for plain-text
and TLS respectively.
The change means that Nomad’s Consul Connect integration would not
work when integrated with Consul clusters using TLS and running
1.14.0 or greater.
The Nomad Consul fingerprinter identifies the gRPC port Consul has
exposed using the "DebugConfig.GRPCPort" value from Consul’s
“/v1/agent/self” endpoint. In Consul 1.14.0 and greater, this only
represents the plain-text gRPC port which is likely to be disbaled
in clusters running TLS. In order to fix this issue, Nomad now
takes into account the Consul version and configured scheme to
optionally use “DebugConfig.GRPCTLSPort” value from Consul’s agent
self return.
The “consul_grcp_socket” allocrunner hook has also been updated so
that the fingerprinted gRPC port attribute is passed in. This
provides a better fallback method, when the operator does not
configure the “consul.grpc_address” option.
* docs: modify Consul Connect entries to detail 1.14.0 changes.
* changelog: add entry for #15309
* fixup: tidy tests and clean version match from review feedback.
* fixup: use strings tolower func.
* fingerprint: add node attr for reserverable cores
Add an attribute for the number of reservable CPU cores as they may
differ from the existing `cpu.numcores` due to client configuration or
OS support.
Hopefully clarifies some confusion in #14676
* add changelog
* num_reservable_cores -> reservablecores
Extension of #14673
Once Vault is initially fingerprinted, extend the period since changes
should be infrequent and the fingerprint is relatively expensive since
it is contacting a central Vault server.
Also move the period timer reset *after* the fingerprint. This is
similar to #9435 where the idea is to ensure the retry period starts
*after* the operation is attempted. 15s will be the *minimum* time
between fingerprints now instead of the *maximum* time between
fingerprints.
In the case of Vault fingerprinting, the original behavior might cause
the following:
1. Timer is reset to 15s
2. Fingerprint takes 16s
3. Timer has already elapsed so we immediately Fingerprint again
Even if fingerprinting Vault only takes a few seconds, that may very
well be due to excessive load and backing off our fingerprints is
desirable. The new bevahior ensures we always wait at least 15s between
fingerprint attempts and should allow some natural jittering based on
server load and network latency.
Clients periodically fingerprint Vault and Consul to ensure the server has
updated attributes in the client's fingerprint. If the client can't reach
Vault/Consul, the fingerprinter clears the attributes and requires a node
update. Although this seems like correct behavior so that we can detect
intentional removal of Vault/Consul access, it has two serious failure modes:
(1) If a local Consul agent is restarted to pick up configuration changes and the
client happens to fingerprint at that moment, the client will update its
fingerprint and result in evaluations for all its jobs and all the system jobs
in the cluster.
(2) If a client loses Vault connectivity, the same thing happens. But the
consequences are much worse in the Vault case because Vault is not run as a
local agent, so Vault connectivity failures are highly correlated across the
entire cluster. A 15 second Vault outage will cause a new `node-update`
evalution for every system job on the cluster times the number of nodes, plus
one `node-update` evaluation for every non-system job on each node. On large
clusters of 1000s of nodes, we've seen this create a large backlog of evaluations.
This changeset updates the fingerprinting behavior to keep the last fingerprint
if Consul or Vault queries fail. This prevents a storm of evaluations at the
cost of requiring a client restart if Consul or Vault is intentionally removed
from the client.
Running `make check` on macOS identifies some dead code because the code is used
only with the Linux build tag. Move this code into appropriately-tagged code
files.
Log lines which include an error should use the full term "error"
as the context key. This provides consistency across the codebase
and avoids a Go style which operators might not be aware of.
Neither the `os.Setenv` nor `t.Setenv` helper are safe to use in parallel tests
because environment variables are process-global. The stdlib panics if you try
to do this. Remove the `ci.Parallel()` call from all tests where we're setting
environment variables.
