init: Set up a dummy network interface with TSI
Some applications check for network availability by looking for a
network device configured for Internet access. When TSI is used, there
is no such device available by default, although Internet is accessible.
Then those applications behave like when the connection is not
available.
Let's solve this problem by setting up a dummy network interface. The
dummy interface is automatically created when CONFIG_DUMMY is enabled in
kernel or the corresponding kernel module is loaded. This means a
sufficiently recent libkrunfw version is needed (see
containers/libkrunfw#116). The dummy interface
is initially down.
In order to make the applications happy, the interface must be brought
up and set up for Internet connections. This is ensured by setting the
IP address to 10.0.0.1/0 (an arbitrary choice without any special
reason) in init.c if TSI is enabled. TSI availability is determined by
checking the presence of `tsi_hijack' in the kernel command line.
The dummy interface simply swallows all packets. But it is effectively
bypassed by TSI for practical purposes. Things like ICMP don't work in
either case.
When the kernel support is not available, the device is not present and
init.c cannot set it up. We skip the configuration silently in such a
case, to not spam users with errors if they use older libkrunfw or
custom kernels.
Fixes: #576
