Nexoniarz f395c39704 net: AF_NETLINK, so getifaddrs() works for everything and not just one program
fastfetch reported "getifaddrs(&ifAddrStruct) failed", and the right answer to
that is not a patch to fastfetch. Asking what interfaces a machine has is
something every networked program does, and on Linux there is exactly one way:
a NETLINK_ROUTE socket. musl implements getifaddrs() over it, so a libc call
that looks like a syscall is really a small protocol conversation -- and without
this side of it every caller fails the same way.

kernel/net/netlink.c is a responder rather than a general socket family. No
event stream, no multicast groups, nothing subscribes to link state: a request
arrives, the whole answer is generated into the socket's buffer, and reads drain
it. That shape is chosen, not a shortcut -- getifaddrs sends a dump and reads
until NLMSG_DONE with MSG_DONTWAIT, so generating at send time means a read
never blocks and the non-blocking flag is honoured for free.

RTM_GETLINK returns one RTM_NEWLINK per interface with IFLA_IFNAME and
IFLA_ADDRESS; RTM_GETADDR returns one RTM_NEWADDR per address with IFA_ADDRESS,
IFA_LOCAL and IFA_LABEL. Anything else gets a bare NLMSG_DONE, because the
caller's next move is a read either way and an unexpected error message is worse
than nothing to read.

The data is not netlink's. Interfaces come from the netdev class and addresses
from lwIP's netifs, exactly as /proc/netif reads them; nothing in the file knows
what an e1000 is. Interface indices matter more than they look -- getifaddrs
matches address records to link records by index, so the two dumps have to
agree. Loopback is 1, netdevs follow from 2.

Verified by reading it back through musl rather than by inspecting the bytes:

    lo     flags=0x49    fam=-1
    eth0   flags=0x1043  fam=17                    (AF_PACKET, the MAC)
    lo     flags=0x49    fam=2  addr=127.0.0.1  mask=255.0.0.0
    eth0   flags=0x1043  fam=2  addr=10.0.2.15  mask=255.255.255.0

Correct flags, addresses and netmasks, and the link records pair with the
address records.

One thing this does not close: fastfetch's Local IP module defaults to
default-route-only, which calls ffNetifGetDefaultRouteIfName() and reads
/proc/net/route. SchOS has no routing table and no such file, so the module
still shows nothing -- now for a reason that is about routing rather than about
enumeration. That is the next file to provide.

socktest still passes; the AF_UNIX and AF_INET paths are untouched.

//
// lwIP with NO_SYS=1 has no threads of its own, so something has to feed it
// received frames and run its timers. That something is a kernel thread rather
// than a driver's interrupt handler, and the reason is the lock: a call into
// lwIP can reach the driver, the driver can sleep, and an interrupt handler
// cannot. So the interrupt keeps doing what it always did -- clear the cause
// register -- and this thread polls.
//
// Nothing here names a driver. Interfaces come from the netdev class
// (include/netdev.h): every bound network device is attached, and a machine
// with two NICs gets two interfaces without a line changing in this file.
//
// Polling costs a wakeup every few milliseconds when the link is idle. The
// alternative, waking this thread from the interrupt, is a worthwhile change
// later; it is deliberately not the first version, because a receive path that
// is woken from an interrupt is much harder to debug than one that is asked.

//
// The thread used to wait for the clock and nothing else, so a frame arriving
// just after a poll sat in the ring for up to 10 ms. That was deliberate at the
// time -- a receive path woken by an interrupt is much harder to debug than one
// that is asked, and the stack had to be proven first -- and it is now the
// largest fixed latency in the system.
//
// The wait stays on `ticks`, rather than moving to a channel of its own, and
// that is the whole design. lwIP's timers must still run when the link is
// silent, so the clock has to remain a floor under the wait; a second channel
// would mean sleeping on two things at once, which sleep() cannot do. Joining
// the tick's existing wakeup costs nothing and keeps one wait, one predicate.
//
// `rx_signal` lives under tickslock for the same reason it is not its own lock:
// sleep() releases tickslock atomically, so a driver that sets the flag and
// wakes under that lock cannot lose the wakeup by arriving in the window
// between the predicate test and the sleep. A private lock would not be held
// across the sleep, and that window would be back.
//
// Called from interrupt context. acquire() disables interrupts, so a CPU
// holding tickslock cannot be interrupted into this; another CPU spins briefly.
