misc: binary api fuzz test fixes
Add a hook to src/vlibapi/api_shared.c to fuzz (screw up) binary API messages, e.g. by xoring random data into them before processing. We specifically exempt client connection messages, and inband debug CLI messages. We step over msg_id, client index, client context, and sw_if_index. Otherwise, "make test" vectors fail too rapidly to learn anything. The goal is to reduce the number of crashes caused to zero. We're fairly close with this patch. Add vl_msg_api_max_length(void *mp), which returns the maximum plausible length for a binary API message. Use it to hardern vl_api_from_api_to_new_vec(...) which takes an additional argument - message pointer - so it can verify that astr->length is sane. If it's not sane, return a u8 *vector of the form "insane astr->length nnnn\0". Verify array lengths in vl_api_dhcp6_send_client_message_t_handler(...) and vl_api_dhcp6_pd_send_client_message_t_handler(...). Add a fairly effective binary API fuzz hook to the unittest plugin, and modify the "make test" framework.py to pass "api-fuzz { on|off }" to enable API fuzzing: "make API_FUZZ=on TEST=xxx test-debug" or similar Type: improvement Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net> Change-Id: I0157267652a163c01553d5267620f719cc6c3bde
