[ upstream commit f48a4d7 ]

Change the expected test for policies that apply to reserved:init pod to
assume that CCNP is used to configure this type of policy.

Signed-off-by: Joe Stringer <joe@cilium.io>
[ upstream commit c45b084 ]

Typically if the policy target EndpointSelector does not include a
namespace, parsing will inject the namespace to ensure that only Pods
within the same namespace can be selected. Furthermore, for peer
EndpointSelectors there is a similar behaviour where ingress or egress
is allowed only to the current namespace unless the user specifies which
namespace the peer exists in. However, these defaults did not previously
apply to policies that select the reserved:init Identity, since this
Identity is not inherently namespaced, and hence automatically injecting
the namespace would cause the policy to no longer match this Identity.

The reserved:init Identity was introduced in order to allow a different
policy to apply to Pods as they start up, iff the full Identity of those
workloads cannot be determined when they are first connecting to the
Cilium network (CNI ADD). In order to support this special reserved:init
Identity, various exceptions were introduced into CiliumNetworkPolicy
parser that removed the automatic insertion of namespace into the
policies when there were label matches for the reserved:init namespace.

The awkward part about this abstraction early on was that there was no
way to directly associate the reserved:init Identity to any specific
Kubernetes namespace, and yet CiliumNetworkPolicy was always inherently
tied to a specific namespace. Since the introduction of the
reserved:init Identity, CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy was also
introduced, which is a much better fit for the ability to select
endpoints that are not inherently namespaced.

This patch deprecates support for applying network policies for the
reserved:init Identity via CiliumNetworkPolicy in favour of
CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy. As a benefit, this allows us to simplify
the logic that applies the namespaces into the policies and reduce the
likelihood of misconfigurations.

[ upstream commit 642768d ]

Extend the CNP validation (including preflight checks) to warn users
that they are using a policy configuration that is no longer supported.
