Embed .lua files into falco executable

Instead of having .lua files external to the program responsible for loading rules, embed the contents of those files into the executable and load them as strings instead of as files: Add a cmake custom command below userspace/engine/lua that calls a bash script lua-to-cpp.sh to generate falco_engine_lua_files.{cpp,hh} that are compiled into the falco engine library. The script creates a .cpp file that has const char * symbols for each file, as well as lists of files that should be loaded when the falco engine is loaded. There are actually two lists: - lua_module_strings: these are loaded and also added to the lua runtime package.preload table, so they are available when lua code require()s them. - lua_code_strings: these are loaded *and* evaluated, so the functions in them are availble to be called from C++. This simplifies some of the falco_common methods, as there's no need to keep track of a "main" lua file to load or paths from which the lua loader should find files for modules, and there's no need to keep track of an "alternate" lua directory that occurs for debug builds. Also, there's no need to include any .lua files in the installed packages, as they're built into the falco binary. Signed-off-by: Mark Stemm <mark.stemm@gmail.com>

 * [Booz Allen Hamilton](https://www.boozallen.com/) - BAH leverages Falco as part of their Kubernetes environment to verify that work loads behave as they did in their CD DevSecOps pipelines. BAH offers a solution to internal developers to easily build DevSecOps pipelines for projects. This makes it easy for developers to incorporate Security principles early on in the development cycle. In production, Falco is used to verify that the code the developer ships does not violate any of the production security requirements. BAH [are speaking at Kubecon NA 2019](https://kccncna19.sched.com/event/UaWr/building-reusable-devsecops-pipelines-on-a-secure-kubernetes-platform-steven-terrana-booz-allen-hamilton-michael-ducy-sysdig) on their use of Falco.

 * [Coveo](https://www.coveo.com/) - Coveo stitches together content and data, learning from every interaction, to tailor every experience using AI to drive growth, satisfy customers and develop employee proficiency. All Falco events are centralized in our SIEM for analysis. Understanding what is running on production servers, and the context around why things are running is even more tricky now that we have further abstractions with containers and orchestration systems. Falco is giving us a good visibility inside containers and complement other Host and Network Intrusion Detection Systems. In a near future, we expect to deploy serverless functions to take action when Falco identifies patterns worth taking action for.

 * [Frame.io](https://frame.io/) - Frame.io is a cloud-based (SaaS) video review and collaboration platform that enables users to securely upload source media, work-in-progress edits, dailies, and more into private workspaces where they can invite their team and clients to collaborate on projects. Understanding what is running on production servers, and the context around why things are running is even more tricky now that we have further abstractions like Docker and Kubernetes. To get this needed visibility into our system, we rely on Falco. Falco's ability to collect raw system calls such as open, connect, exec, along with their arguments offer key insights on what is happening on the production system and became the foundation of our intrusion detection and alerting system.

+* [Giant Swarm](https://www.giantswarm.io/) - Giant Swarm manages Kubernetes clusters and infrastructure for enterprises across multiple cloud providers as well as several flavors of on-premises data centers. Our platform provisions and monitors pure "vanilla" Kubernetes clusters which can be augmented with managed solutions to many common Kubernetes challenges, including security. We use Falco for anomaly detection as part of our collection of entirely open-source tools for securing our own clusters, and offer the same capabilities to our customers as part of our [managed security offering](https://docs.giantswarm.io/app-platform/apps/security/).

GitLab Ultimate provides the single tool teams need to find, triage, and fix vulnerabilities in applications, services, and cloud-native environments enabling them to manage their risk. This provides them with repeatable, defensible processes that automate security and compliance policies. GitLab includes a tight integration with Falco, allowing users to defend their containerized applications from attacks while running in production.

 * [League](https://league.com/ca/) - League provides health benefits management services to help employees understand and get the most from their benefits, and employers to provide effective, efficient plans. Falco is used to monitor our deployed services on Kubernetes, protecting against malicious access to containers which could lead to leaks of PHI or other sensitive data. The Falco alerts are logged in Stackdriver for grouping and further analysis. In the future, we're hoping for integrations with Prometheus and AlertManager as well.

-    # to do autoreconf -fi when downloading a released tarball.
-    #
-    # However, they forgot to push the released makefiles

-    # For this reason, we have to mirror their release after

-    #
-    # This is needed because many distros do not ship the right
-    # version of autoreconf, making virtually impossible to build Falco on them.

+# Plugin System
+
+## Summary
+
+This is a proposal to create an infrastructure to extend the functionality of the Falco libraries via plugins.
+
+Plugins will allow users to easily extend the functionality of the libraries and, as a consequence, of Falco and any other tool based on the libraries.
+
+This proposal, in particular, focuses on two types of plugins: source plugins and extractor plugins.
+
+## Motivation
+
+[libscap](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/tree/master/userspace/libscap) and [libsinsp](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/tree/master/userspace/libsinsp) provide a powerful data capture framework, with a rich set of features that includes:
+
+- data capture
+- trace files management
+- enrichment
+- filtering
+- formatting and screen rendering
+- Lua scripting (chisels)
+
+These features have been designed with one specific input in mind: system calls. However, they are generically adaptable to a broad set of inputs, such as cloud logs.
+
+With this proposal, we want to dramatically extend the scope of what the libraries, Falco and other tools can be applied to. We want to do it in a way that is easy, efficient and empowers anyone in the community to write a plugin.
+
+## Goals
+
+- To design and implement a plugin framework that makes the libraries more modular and extensible
+- To have a framework that is easy to use
+- To support dynamic loading of plugins, so that the libraries can be extended without having to be recompiled and relinked
+- To enable users to write plugins in any language, with a particular focus on Go, C and C++
+- To have an efficient plugin framework so that, performance-wise, writing a plugin is as close as possible as extending the libraries internal source code
+- To make it possible to write plugins for Linux, MacOS and Windows
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- To implement plugins other than source and extractor: to be approached as separate task
+- To document the plugin framework and interface: to be approached as separate task
+
+## Proposal
+
+### Plugin Common Information
+
+Both source and extractor plugins have the following:
+
+- A required api version, to ensure compatibility with the plugin framework.
+- A name
+- A description
+- A version
+- A contact field for the plugin authors (website, github repo, twitter, etc).
+- Functions to initialize and destroy the plugin internal state.
+
+### Plugin types
+
+Initially, we will implement support for two types of plugins: source plugins and extractor plugins.
+
+#### Source Plugin
+
+A source plugin implements a new sinsp/scap event source. It has the ability to "open" and "close" a session that provides events. It also has the ability to return an event to the plugin framework via a next() method. Events returned by source plugins have an "event source", which describes the information in the event. This is distinct from the plugin name to allow for multiple kinds of plugins to generate the same kind of events. For example, there might be plugins gke-audit-bridge, eks-audit-bridge, ibmcloud-audit-bridge, etc. that all fetch [K8s Audit](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/audit/) information. The plugins would have different names but would have the same event source "k8s_audit".
+
+Source plugins also have the ability to extract information from events based on fields. For example, a field proc.name extracts a process name from a syscall event. The plugin returns a set of supported fields, and there are functions to extract a value given an event and field. The plugin framework can then build filtering expressions/Falco rule conditions based on these fields combined with relational and/or logical operators. For example, given an expression "ct.name=root and ct.region=us-east-1", the plugin framework handles parsing the expression, calling the plugin to extract values for a given event, and determining the result of the expression. In a Falco output string like "An EC2 Node was created (name=%ec2.name region=%ct.region)", the plugin framework handles parsing the output string, calling the plugin to extract values for a given event, and building the resolved string.
+
+Source plugins also provide an "id", which is globally unique and is used in capture files (see below).
+
+#### Extractor Plugin
+
+An extractor plugin focuses only on field extraction from events generated by other plugins, or by the core libraries. It does *not* provide an event source, but can extract fields from other event sources. An example is json field extraction, where a plugin might be able to extract fields from arbitrary json payloads.
+
+An extractor plugin provides an optional set of event sources. When the framework receives an event with an event source in the plugin's set of event sources, fields in expressions/Falco outputs will be extracted from events using the plugin. An extractor plugin can also *not* name a set of event sources. In this case, fields will be extracted from *all* events, regardless of source. In this case, the exctractor plugin must detect the format of arbitrary payloads and be able to return NULL/no value when the payload is not supported.
+
+### Support for Plugin Events in Capture Files.
+
+libscap will define a new event type called "pluginevent" that contains two fields:
+
+* "plugin ID": This uniquely identifies the plugin that generated this event.
+* "event_data": This is a variable-length data buffer containing the event data, as returned by the plugin.
+
+Defining an event for plugins allows creating capture files from plugins. These capture files can be saved, read, filtered, etc, like any other capture file, allowing for later analysis/display/etc.
+
+### Plugins format
+
+Plugins are dynamic libraries (.so files in Unix, .dll files in windows) that export a minimum set of functions that the libraries will recognize.
+
+Plugins are versioned using semantic versioning to minimize regressions and compatibility issues.
+
+Plugins can be written in any language, as long as they export the required functions. Go, however, is the preferred language to write plugins, followed by C/C++.
+
+### Protecting from plugin issues
+
+The libraries will do everything possible to validate the data coming from the plugins and protect Falco and the other consumers from corrupted data. However, for performance reasons, plugins will be "trusted": they will run in the same thread and address space as Falco and they could crash the program. We assume that the user will be in control of plugin loading and will make sure only trusted plugins are loaded/packaged with Falco.
+
+### Plugin/Event Source registries
+
+Every source plugin requires its own, unique plugin ID to interoperate with Falco and the other plugins. The plugin ID will be used by the libs to properly process incoming events (for example, when saving events to file and loading them back), and by plugins to unuambiguosly recognize their dependencies.
+
+To facilitate the allocation and distribution of plugin IDs, we will require that plugin developers request IDs for their plugins to the Falco organization. The mechanism used for plugin allocation is not determined yet and will be discussed in the future.
+
+Similarly, plugin developers must register event sources with the Falco organization. This allows coordination between plugins that wish to provide compatible payloads, and to allow extractor plugins to know what data format is associated with a given event source.
+
+### golang plugin SDK
+
+To facilitate the development of plugins written in go, an SDK has been developed. We intend this SDK (and future SDKs for other languages) to be part of the Falco organization. For this reason, we submitted the following incubation request: https://github.com/falcosecurity/evolution/issues/62
+
+### Proposed API (subject to change)
+
+```c
+// This struct represents an event returned by the plugin, and is used
+// below in next()/next_batch().
+// - data: pointer to a memory buffer pointer. The plugin will set it

+//   the memory is owned by the plugin framework and will be freed via
+//   a call to free().
+// - datalen: pointer to a 32bit integer. The plugin will set it the size of the
+//   buffer pointed by data.

+//   automatically fill the event time with the current time.

+
+### Event Sources and Falco Rules
+
+Falco rules already have the notion of a "source", using the source property in rules objects, and there are currently two kinds of event sources: "syscall" and "k8s_audit". We will use the source property in Falco rules to map a given rule to the event source on which the rule runs.
+
+For example, given a plugin with source "aws_cloudtrail", and a Falco rule with source "aws_cloudtrail", the rule will be evaluated for any events generated by the plugin.
+
+Similarly, an extractor plugin that includes "aws_cloudtrail" in its set of event sources will have the opportunity to extract information from aws_cloudtrail events if a matching field is found in the rule's condition, exception, or output properties.
+
+This, combined with the restrictions below, allows a set of loaded rules files to contain a mix of rules for plugins as well as "core" syscall/k8s_audit events.
+
+We will also make a change to compile rules/macros/lists selectively based on the set of loaded plugins (specifically, their event sources), instead of unconditionally as Falco is started. This is especially important for macros, which do not contain a source property, but might contain fields that are only implemented by a given plugin.
+
+### Handling Duplicate/Overlapping Fields in Plugins/Libraries Core
+
+At an initial glance, adding plugins introduces the possibility of tens/hundreds of new filtercheck fields that could potentially overlap/conflict. For example, what happens if a plugin defines a "proc.name" field? However, the notion of "event source" makes these potential conflicts managable.
+
+Remember that field extraction is always done in the context of an event, and each event can be mapped back to an event source. So we only need to ensure that filtercheck fields are distinct for a given event source. For example, it's perfectly valid for an AWS Cloudtrail plugin to define a proc.name field, as the events generated by that plugin are wholly separate from syscall events. For syscall events, the AWS Cloudtrail plugin is not involved and the core libraries extract the process name for the tid performing a syscall. For AWS Cloudtrail events, the core libraries are not involved in field extraction and is performed by the AWS Cloudtrail plugin instead.
+
+We only need to ensure the following:
+
+* That only one plugin is loaded at a time that exports a given event source. For example, the libraries can load either a gke-audit-bridge plugin with event source k8s_audit, or eks-audit-bridge with event source k8s_audit, but not both.
+* That for a mix of source and extractor plugins having the same event source, that the fields are distinct. For example, a source plugin with source k8s_audit can export ka.* fields, and an extractor plugin with event source k8s_audit can export a jevt.value[/...] field, and the appropriate plugin will be used to extract fields from k8s_audit events as fields are parsed from condition expressions/output format strings.
+
+### Plugin Versions and Falco Rules
+
+To allow rules files to document the plugin versions they are compatible with, we will add a new top-level field `required_plugin_versions` to the Falco rules file format. The field is optional, and if not provided no plugin compatibility checks will be performed. The syntax of `required_plugin_versions` will be the following:
+
+```yaml
+- required_plugin_versions:
+  - name: <plugin_name>
+    version: x.y.z
+  ...
+```
+
+Below required_plugin_versions is a list of objects, where each object has `name` and `version` properties. If a plugin is loaded, and if an entry in `required_plugin_versions` has a matching name, then the loaded plugin version must be semver compatible with the version property.
+
+Falco can load multiple rules files, and each file may contain its own `required_plugin_versions` property. In this case, name+version pairs across all files will be merged, and in the case of duplicate names all provided versions must be compatible.
+
+### Loading the plugins
+
+The mechanics of loading a plugin are implemented in the libraries and leverage the dynamic library functionality of the operating system (dlopen/dlsym in unix, LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress in Windows). The plugin loading code also ensures that:
+
+- the plugin is valid, i.e. that it exports the set of expected symbols
+- the plugin has an api version number that is compatible with the libraries instance
+- that only one source plugin is loaded at a time for a given event source
+- if a mix of source and extractor plugins are loaded for a given event source, that the exported fields have unique names that don't overlap across plugins
+
+#### Loading plugins in falcosecurity/libs
+
+At the libraries level, loading plugins is handled via the static method:
+
+```c++
+void sinsp_plugin::register_plugin(sinsp* inspector, string filepath, char* config, ...)
+```
+
+filepath points to a dynamic library containing code that exports plugin API functions. config contains arbitrary config content which is passed to init().
+
+Note that the code using the libraries is responsible for determining the location of plugin libraries and their configuration.
+
+#### Loading plugins in falcosecurity/falco
+
+Falco will control/configure loading plugins via the new "plugins" property in falco.yaml. Here's an example:
+
+```yaml
+plugins:
+  - name: aws_cloudtrail
+    library_path: aws_cloudtrail/plugin.so
+    init_config: "..."
+    open_params: "..."
+  - name: http_json
+    library_path: http_json/plugin.so
+    init_config_file: http_json/config.txt
+    open_params_file: http_json/params.txt
+
+# Optional
+load_plugins: [aws_cloudtrail]
+```
+
+A new "plugins" property in falco.yaml will define the set of plugins that can be loaded by Falco. The property contains a list of objects, with the following properties:
+
+* name: Only used for load_plugins, but by convention should be the same as the value returned by the name() api function.
+* library_path: a path to the shared library. The path can be relative, in which case it is relative to Falco's "share" directory under a "plugins" subdirectory e.g. /usr/share/falco/plugins.
+* init_config: If present, the exact configuration text that will be provided as an argument to the init() function.
+* init_config_file: If present, the provided file will be read and the contents will be provided as an argument to the init() function.
+* open_params: If present, the exact params text that will be provided as an argument to the open() function.
+* open_params_file: If present, the provided file will be read and the contents will be provided as an argument to the open() function.
+
+For a given yaml object in the plugins list, only one of init_config/init_config_file and one of open_params/open_params_file can be provided at a time.
+
+A new "load_plugins" property in falco.yaml will allow for loading a subset of the plugins defined in plugins. If present, only the plugins with the provided names will be loaded.
+
+### Examples
+
+We have an initial version working, consisting of:
+
+* A version of falcosecurity/libs that supports the [plugin framework](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/tree/new/plugin-system-api-additions)
+* Support code and examples for [writing plugins in go](https://github.com/mstemm/libsinsp-plugin-sdk-go/tree/new/plugin-system-api-additions)
+* A [cloudtrail](https://github.com/mstemm/plugins/tree/new/plugin-system-api-additions) plugin that can generate events from cloudtrail logs and extract fields from those events.
+* A version of Falco that uses all of the above to [load and evaluate rules with plugins](https://github.com/leogr/falco/tree/new/plugin-system-api-additions)
