Fix up some final compile isses.
net/netdev: Convert the network down notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/udp: Convert the UDP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/tcp: Convert the TCP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
mm/iob: Convert the IOB notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
sched/wqueue: Signals are not good IPCs to support the target poll functionality for several reasons including the amount of data that can be passed with a signal and in the fact that in protected and kernel modes, user threads executing signal handlers in protected, kernel memory is problematic. Instead, convert the same logic to perform the notifications via function callback on the high priority work queue.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/tcp: Add signal notification for the case when UDP read-ahead data is buffered. This is basically of clone of the TCP notification logic with naming adapted for UDP.
net/tcp: Add signal notification for the case when TCP read-ahead data is buffered.
net/utils: return from net_breaklock() was being clobbered.
net/: Replace all calls to iob_alloc() with calls to net_ioballoc() which will release the network lock, if necessary.
net/utils, tcp, include/net: Separate out the special IOB allocation logic and place it in its own function. Prototype is available in a public header file where it can also be used by network drivers.
net/utils: net_timedwait() now uses new net_breaklock() and net_restorelock().
net/netdev: Add implementation of if_nametoindex() and if indextoname().
net/pkt: Raw AF_PACKET sockets now depend on CONFIG_NETDEV_IFINDEX.
net/procfs: Tweak to handle traversal of interfaces if CONFIG_NETDEV_IFINDEX is not defined.
net/netdev.h: Update netdev_findbyaddr() to use the assigned device index.
Trivial typo fix
net/netdev: Add support for assigned an interface index to a device when it is regisgtered.

This commit adds logic to first check for UDP connection mode. If the UDP socket is connected, then the NULL 'to' address is ignored and saved connection address is used instead.
In connection-mode UDP sockets, a remote address is retained in the UDP connection structure. This determines both there send() will send the packets and which packets recv() will accept.
This same mechanism is used for connection-less UDP sendto: A temporary remote address is written into the connection structure to support the sendto() operation. That address persists until the next recvfrom() when it is reset to accept any address.
When UDP read-ahead buffering is enabled, however, that means that the old, invalid remote address can be left in the connection structure for some time. This can cause read-ahead buffer to fail, dropping UDP packets.
Shortening the time between when he remote address is reset (i.e., immediately after the sendto() completes) is not a solution, that does not eliminate the race condition; in only makes it smaller.
With this change, a flag was added to the connection structure to indicate if the UDP socket is in connection mode or if it is connection-less. This change effects only UDP receive operations: The remote address in the UDP connection is always ignored if the UDP socket is not in connection-mode.
No for connection-mode sockets, that remote address behaves as before. But for connection-less sockets, it is only used by sendto().
Squashed commit of the following:
net/udp: Address most of the issues with UDP write buffering. There is a remaining issue with handling one network going down in a multi-network environment. None of this has been test but it is certainly ready for test. Hence, the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL.
net/udp: Some baby steps toward a corrected write buffering design.
net/udp: Remove pesky write buffer macros.
Eliminate trailing space at the end of lines.
net/udp: A little more UDP write buffering logic. Still at least on big gaping hole in the design.
net/udp: Undefined CONFIG_NET_SENDTO_TIMEOUT.
net/udp: Crude, naive port of the TCP write buffering logic into UDP. This commit is certainly non-functional and is simply a starting point for the implementatin of UDP write buffering.
net/udp: Rename udp/udp_psock_sendto.c udp/udp_psock_sendto_unbuffered.c.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/icmp: Finishes off icmp_recvfrom().
net/icmp: Add readahead support for IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
net/icmp: Add poll() support for IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
net/icmp: Add a connection structure for IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
net/icmp: Implements sendto for the IPPROTO_ICMP socket.
net/icmp: Move icmp_sendto() and icmp_recvfrom() to separate files. They are likely to be complex (when they are implemented).
net/icmp: Hook IPPROTO_ICMP sockets into network. Fix some naming collisions. Still missing basic ICMP send/receive logic.
configs: apps/system/ping current need poll() enabled.
configs: All defconfig files that use to enable low-level support must now enabled CONFIG_SYSTEM_PING.
net/icmp: Adds basic build framework to support IPPROTO_ICMP sockets.
This commit backs out most of commit b4747286b1. That change was added because sem_wait() would sometimes cause cancellation points inappropriated. But with these recent changes, nxsem_wait() is used instead and it is not a cancellation point.
In the OS, all calls to sem_wait() changed to nxsem_wait(). nxsem_wait() does not return errors via errno so each place where nxsem_wait() is now called must not examine the errno variable.
In all OS functions (not libraries), change sem_wait() to nxsem_wait(). This will prevent the OS from creating bogus cancellation points and from modifying the per-task errno variable.
sched/semaphore: Add the function nxsem_wait(). This is a new internal OS interface. It is functionally equivalent to sem_wait() except that (1) it is not a cancellation point, and (2) it does not set the per-thread errno value on return.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().
sched/semaphore: Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
sched/semaphoate: Rename sem_reset() to nxsem_reset() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
User-space networking stack API allows user-space daemon to
provide TCP/IP stack implementation for NuttX network.
Main use for this is to allow use and seamless integration of
HW-provided TCP/IP stacks to NuttX.
For example, user-space daemon can translate /dev/usrsock
API requests to HW TCP/IP API requests while rest of the
user-space can access standard socket API, with socket
descriptors that can be used with NuttX system calls.
