Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen 2ef6804ead Add networking stack. ... 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.
