e2aad34d73 slirp: Fix intermittent send queue hangs on a socket
if_output() originally sent one mbuf per call and used the slirp->next_m
variable to keep track of where it left off.  But nowadays it tries to
send all of the mbufs from the fastq, and one mbuf from each session on
the batchq.  The next_m variable is both redundant and harmful: there is
a case[0] involving delayed packets in which next_m ends up pointing
to &slirp->if_batchq when an active session still exists, and this
blocks all traffic for that session until qemu is restarted.

The test case was created to reproduce a problem that was seen on
long-running Chromium OS VM tests[1] which rapidly create and
destroy ssh connections through hostfwd.

47bb83cad4 slirp: add a fake NC-SI backend
NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) enables a BMC to manage
a set of NICs on a system. This model takes the simplest approach and
reverses the NC-SI packets to pretend a NIC is present and exercise

The NCSI header file <ncsi-pkt.h> comes from mainline Linux and was
untabified.

05061d8548 slirp: Adding IPv6 address for DNS relay
This patch adds an IPv6 address to the DNS relay. in6_equal_dns() is
developed using this Slirp attribute.
sotranslate_in/out/accept() are also updated to manage the IPv6 case so the
guest can be able to join the host using one of the Slirp addresses.

For now this only points to localhost. Further development will be needed to
automatically fetch the IPv6 address from resolv.conf, and announce this via
RDNSS.

0d6ff71ae3 slirp: Adding IPv6, ICMPv6 Echo and NDP autoconfiguration
This patch adds the functions needed to handle IPv6 packets. ICMPv6 and
NDP headers are implemented.

Slirp is now able to send NDP Router or Neighbor Advertisement when it
receives Router or Neighbor Solicitation. Using a 64bit-sized IPv6
prefix, the guest is now able to perform stateless autoconfiguration
(SLAAC) and to compute its IPv6 address.

This patch adds an ndp_table, mainly inspired by arp_table, to keep an
NDP cache and manage network address resolution.
Slirp regularly sends NDP Neighbor Advertisement, as recommended by the
RFC, to make the guest refresh its route.

This also adds ip6_cksum() to compute ICMPv6 checksums using IPv6
pseudo-header.

Some #define ETH_* are moved upper in slirp.h to make them accessible to
other slirp/*.h

a2d96af4bb osdep: add wrappers for socket functions
The windows socket functions look identical to the normal POSIX
sockets functions, but instead of setting errno, the caller needs
to call WSAGetLastError(). QEMU has tried to deal with this
incompatibility by defining a socket_error() method that callers
must use that abstracts the difference between WSAGetLastError()
and errno.

This approach is somewhat error prone though - many callers of
the sockets functions are just using errno directly because it
is easy to forget the need use a QEMU specific wrapper. It is
not always immediately obvious that a particular function will
in fact call into Windows sockets functions, so the dev may not
even realize they need to use socket_error().

This introduces an alternative approach to portability inspired
by the way GNULIB fixes portability problems. We use a macro to
redefine the original socket function names to refer to a QEMU
wrapper function. The wrapper function calls the original Win32
sockets method and then sets errno from the WSAGetLastError()
value.

Thus all code can simply call the normal POSIX sockets APIs are
have standard errno reporting on error, even on Windows. This
makes the socket_error() method obsolete.

We also bring closesocket & ioctlsocket into this approach. Even
though they are non-standard Win32 names, we can't wrap the normal
close/ioctl methods since there's no reliable way to distinguish
between a file descriptor and HANDLE in Win32.

b1c99fcdf5 slirp: Enable multiple instances
Once again this was a long journey to reach the destination: Allow to
instantiate slirp multiple times. But as in the past, the journey was
worthwhile, cleaning up, fixing and enhancing various parts of the user
space network stack along the way.

What is this particular change good for? Multiple slirps instances
allow separated user space networks for guests with multiple NICs. This
is already possible, but without any slirp support for the second
network, ie. without a chance to talk to that network from the host via
IP. We have a legacy guest system here that benefits from this slirp
enhancement, allowing us to run both of its NICs purely over
unprivileged user space IP stacks.

Another benefit of this patch is that it simply removes an artificial
restriction of the configuration space qemu is providing, avoiding
another source of surprises that users may face when playing with
possible setups.

ad0d8c4c32 slirp: Allocate/free stack instance dynamically
Allocate the internal slirp state dynamically and provide and call
slirp_cleanup to properly release it after use. This patch finally
unbreaks slirp release and re-instantiation via host_net_* monitor
commands.
