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.
