Sergey Kandaurov b57181586c Major update for unix_cmsg from Andrey Simonenko.
Quoting the submitter:
- Added tests for SCM_BINTIME, LOCAL_PEERCRED, cmsghdr.cmsg_len
- Code that checks correctness of groups was corrected (getgroups(2) change)
- unix_cmsg.c was completely redesigned and simplified
- Use less timeout value in unix_cmsg.c for faster work
- Added support for not sending data in a message, not sending data and
  data array associated with a cmsghdr structure in a message
- Existent tests were improved
- unix_cmsg.t was redesigned and simplified

Correctness of unix_cmsg verified on 7.1-STABLE, 9.1-STABLE and 10-CURRENT.

About unix_cmsg
===============
This program is a collection of regression tests for ancillary data
(control information) for PF_LOCAL sockets (local domain or Unix domain
sockets). There are tests for stream and datagram sockets.
Usually each test does following steps: creates Server, forks Client,
Client sends something to Server, Server verifies whether everything is
correct in received message(s).
It is better to change the owner of unix_cmsg to some safe user
(eg. nobody:nogroup) and set SUID and SGID bits, else some tests that
check credentials can give correct results for wrong implementation.
It is better to run this program by a user that belongs to more
than 16 groups.
Available options
=================
usage: unix_cmsg [-dh] [-n num] [-s size] [-t type] [-z value] [testno]
Options are:
-d Output debugging information
-h Output the help message and exit
-n num Number of messages to send
-s size Specify size of data for IPC
-t type Specify socket type (stream, dgram) for tests
-z value Do not send data in a message (bit 0x1), do not send
data array associated with a cmsghdr structure (bit 0x2)
testno Run one test by its number (require the -t option)
Description
===========
If Client sends something to Server, then it sends 5 messages by default.
Number of messages can be changed in the -n command line option. Number
of messages will be given as N in the following descriptions.
If Client sends something to Server, then it sends some data (few bytes)
in each message by default. The size of this data can be changed by the -s
command line option. The "-s 0" command line option means, that Client will
send zero bytes represented by { NULL, 0 } value of struct iovec{}, referenced
by the msg_iov field from struct msghdr{}. The "-z 1" or "-z 3" command line
option means, that Client will send zero bytes represented by the NULL value
in the msg_iov field from struct msghdr{}.
If Client sends some ancillary data object, then this ancillary data object
always has associated data array by default. The "-z 2" or "-z 3" option
means, that Client will not send associated data array if possible.
For SOCK_STREAM sockets:
-----------------------
1: Sending, receiving cmsgcred
Client connects to Server and sends N messages with SCM_CREDS ancillary
data object. Server should receive N messages, each message should
have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object followed by struct cmsgcred{}.
2: Receiving sockcred (listening socket)
Server creates a listening stream socket and sets the LOCAL_CREDS
socket option for it. Client connects to Server two times, each time
it sends N messages. Server accepts two connections and receives N
messages from each connection. The first message from each connection
should have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object followed by struct sockcred{},
next messages from the same connection should not have ancillary data.
3: Receiving sockcred (accepted socket)
Client connects to Server. Server accepts connection and sets the
LOCAL_CREDS socket option for just accepted socket. Client sends N
messages to Server. Server should receive N messages, the first
message should have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object followed by
struct sockcred{}, next messages should not have ancillary data.
4: Sending cmsgcred, receiving sockcred
Server creates a listening stream socket and sets the LOCAL_CREDS
socket option for it. Client connects to Server and sends N messages
with SCM_CREDS ancillary data object. Server should receive N messages,
the first message should have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object followed
by struct sockcred{}, each of next messages should have SCM_CREDS
ancillary data object followed by struct cmsgcred{}.
5: Sending, receiving timeval
Client connects to Server and sends message with SCM_TIMESTAMP ancillary
data object. Server should receive one message with SCM_TIMESTAMP
ancillary data object followed by struct timeval{}.
6: Sending, receiving bintime
Client connects to Server and sends message with SCM_BINTIME ancillary
data object. Server should receive one message with SCM_BINTIME
ancillary data object followed by struct bintime{}.
7: Checking cmsghdr.cmsg_len
Client connects to Server and tries to send several messages with
SCM_CREDS ancillary data object that has wrong cmsg_len field in its
struct cmsghdr{}. All these attempts should fail, since cmsg_len
in all requests is less than CMSG_LEN(0).
8: Check LOCAL_PEERCRED socket option
This test does not use ancillary data, but can be implemented here.
Client connects to Server. Both Client and Server verify that
credentials of the peer are correct using LOCAL_PEERCRED socket option.
For SOCK_DGRAM sockets:
----------------------
1: Sending, receiving cmsgcred
Client connects to Server and sends N messages with SCM_CREDS ancillary
data object. Server should receive N messages, each message should
have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object followed by struct cmsgcred{}.
2: Receiving sockcred
Server creates datagram socket and sets the LOCAL_CREDS socket option
for it. Client sends N messages to Server. Server should receive N
messages, each message should have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object
followed by struct sockcred{}.
3: Sending cmsgcred, receiving sockcred
Server creates datagram socket and sets the LOCAL_CREDS socket option
for it. Client sends N messages with SCM_CREDS ancillary data object
to Server. Server should receive N messages, the first message should
have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object followed by struct sockcred{},
each of next messages should have SCM_CREDS ancillary data object
followed by struct cmsgcred{}.
4: Sending, receiving timeval
Client sends one message with SCM_TIMESTAMP ancillary data object
to Server. Server should receive one message with SCM_TIMESTAMP
ancillary data object followed by struct timeval{}.
5: Sending, receiving bintime
Client sends one message with SCM_BINTIME ancillary data object
to Server. Server should receive one message with SCM_BINTIME
ancillary data object followed by struct bintime{}.
6: Checking cmsghdr.cmsg_len
Client tries to send Server several messages with SCM_CREDS ancillary
data object that has wrong cmsg_len field in its struct cmsghdr{}.
All these attempts should fail, since cmsg_len in all requests is less
than CMSG_LEN(0).
