Thomas Eizinger 99624a4302 fix(connlib): always update TunConfig on any changes (#8453)
Currently, we are only emitting updates to the `TunConfig` when the
routes or the DNS servers change. This isn't correct, we should also
emit updates for it when the IPs or the search-domain changes.

In order to achieve that, we create a new `TunConfig` based on the
existing one every time we receive an `InterfaceConfig` update.
Depending on our current state, we may create an entirely new
`TunConfig` or create a new one where we copy the fields in from the new
`InterfaceConfig`. We then unconditionally call
`maybe_update_tun_config` which does the necessary work to only emit
updates when things actually changed.

To ensure this works in all cases and the latest update is always
reflected on the TUN device, we also extend the proptests to assert the
latest search domain.

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.

2024-04-01T18:25:47.237661392Z INFO started log
2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295243016Z INFO No token / actor_name on disk, starting in signed-out state
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295360641Z INFO null

Benchmarking on Linux

The recommended way for benchmarking any of the Rust components is Linux' perf utility. For example, to attach to a running application, do:

  1. Ensure the binary you are profiling is compiled with the release profile.
  2. sudo perf record -g --freq 10000 --pid $(pgrep <your-binary>).
  3. Run the speed test or whatever load-inducing task you want to measure.
  4. sudo perf script > profile.perf
  5. Open profiler.firefox.com and load profile.perf

Instead of attaching to a process with --pid, you can also specify the path to executable directly. That is useful if you want to capture perf data for a test or a micro-benchmark.
