BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY was introduced in kernel version 4.6, so with
latest changes to intercept processes we lost support for older kernels
< 4.6.
Now we work again for example on kernels 4.4.
Make use of kernel macros to decide for what architectures we compile
the modules.
On armv7l the connections module was failing due to iptunnel_xmit, so
exclude it from being compiled.
One can export ARCH=arm, ARCH=i386 or ARCH=arm64 to compile the modules
for these architectures, instead of hacing to edit the source files.
Improved process detections by monitoring new processes execution.
It allow us to know the path of a process before a socket is opened.
Closes#617
Other improvements:
- If we fail to retrieve the path of a process, then we'll use the comm
name of the connection/process.
- Better kernel connections detection.
- If debugfs is not loaded, we'll try to mount it, to allow to use
eBPF monitor method.
Future work (help wanted):
- Extract command line arguments from the kernel (sys_execve, or mm
struct).
- Monitor other functions (execveat, clone*, fork, etc).
- Send these events to the server (GUI), and display all the commands
an application has executed.
* Allow to intercept some kernel connections
Some connections are initiated from kernel space, like WireGuard
VPNs (#454), NFS or SMB connections (#502) and ip tunnels (#500).
Note: This feature is complete for x86_64, WIP for aarch64, and not supported for armhf and i386

* Use ebpf program to find PID of new connections.
before running the branch you have to compile ebpf_prog/opensnitch.c
opensnitch.c is an eBPF program. Compilation requires getting kernel source.
