linux-user: add rtnetlink(7) support
rtnetlink is needed to use iproute package (ip addr, ip route) and dhcp client. Examples: Without this patch: # ip link Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol # ip addr Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol # ip route Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol # dhclient eth0 Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol With this patch: # ip link 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 51: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:16:3e:89:6b:d7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff # ip addr show eth0 51: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:16:3e:89:6b:d7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.197/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe89:6bd7/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever # ip route default via 192.168.122.1 dev eth0 192.168.122.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.197 # ip addr flush eth0 # ip addr add 192.168.122.10 dev eth0 # ip addr show eth0 51: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:16:3e:89:6b:d7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.10/32 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever # ip route add 192.168.122.0/24 via 192.168.122.10 # ip route 192.168.122.0/24 via 192.168.122.10 dev eth0 Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu> Signed-off-by: Riku Voipio <riku.voipio@linaro.org>
