lib: Add per-user packet pools
The IRMd will now check the user UID and GID for privileged access, avoiding unprivileged users being able to disrupt all IPC (e.g. by shm_open the single pool and corrupting its metadata). Non-privileged users are now limited to a PUP (per-user pool) for sending/receiving packets. It is still created by the IRMd, but owned by the user (uid) with 600 permissions. It does not add additional copies for local IPC between their own processes (i.e. over the local IPCP), but packets between processes owned by a different user or destined over the network (other IPCPs) will incur a copy when crossing the PUP / PUP or the PUP / GSPP boundary. Privileged users and users in the ouroboros group still have direct access to the GSPP (globally shared private pool) for packet transfer that will avoid additional copies when processing packets between processes owned by different users and to the network. This aligns the security model with UNIX trust domains defined by UID and GID by leveraging file permission on the pools in shared memory. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Source Pool │ Dest Pool │ Operation │ Copies │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ GSPP │ GSPP │ Zero-copy │ 0 │ │ PUP.uid │ PUP.uid │ Zero-copy │ 0 │ │ PUP.uid1 │ PUP.uid2 │ memcpy() │ 1 │ │ PUP.uid │ GSPP │ memcpy() │ 1 │ │ GSPP │ PUP.uid │ memcpy() │ 1 │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ This also renames the struct ai ("application instance") in dev.c to struct proc (process).
