    Add networking stack. · 2ef6804e
    Jonas Termansen authored
    
    
    This change adds all the kernel parts of a network stack. The network stack
    is partial but implements many of the important parts.
    
    Add if(4) network interface abstraction. Network interfaces are registered
    in a global list that can be iterated and each assigned an unique integer
    identifier.
    
    Add reference counted packets with a cache that recycles recent packets.
    
    Add support for lo(4) loopback and ether(4) ethernet network interfaces.
    The /dev/lo0 loopback device is created automatically on boot.
    
    Add arp(4) address resolution protocol driver for translation of inet(4)
    network layer addresses into ether(4) link layer addresses. arp(4) entries
    are cached and evicted from the cache when needed or when the entry has not
    been used for a while. The cache is limited to 256 entries for now.
    
    Add ip(4) internet protocol version 4 support. IP fragmentation and options
    are not implemented yet.
    
    Add tcp(4) transmission control protocol sockets for a reliable transport
    layer protocol that provides a reliable byte stream connection between two
    hosts. The implementation is incomplete and does not yet implement out of
    band data, options, and high performance extensions.
    
    Add udp(4) user datagram protocol sockets for a connectionless transport
    layer that provides best-effort delivery of datagrams.
    
    Add ping(4) sockets for a best-effort delivery of echo datagrams.
    
    Change type of sa_family_t from unsigned short to uint16_t.
    
    Add --disable-network-drivers to the kernel(7) options and expose it with a
    bootloader menu. tix-iso-bootconfig can set this option by default.
    
    Import CRC32 code from libz for the Ethernet checksum.
    
    This is a compatible ABI change that adds features to socket(2) (AF_INET,
    IPPROTO_TCP, IPPROTO_UDP, IPPROTO_PING), the ioctls for if(4), socket
    options, and the lo0 loopback interface.
    
    This commit is based on work by Meisaka Yukara contributed as the commit
    bbf7f1e8a5238a2bd1fe8eb1d2cc5c9c2421e2c4. Almost no lines of this work
    remains in this final commit as it has been rewritten or refactored away
    over the years, see the individual file headers for which files contain
    remnants of this work.
