Historically, the IPv4 protocol has been linked to the core INET
subsystem. Because shared infrastructure like the TCP/UDP engine,
routing or INET hashtables live inside net/ipv4/, it has been impossible
to compile a kernel with only IPv6 support.
This patch introduces the CONFIG_IPV4 Kconfig symbol, which is set to
'def_bool y' for now. This does not allow to completely disable the
IPv4 stack yet but it lays the necessary build-system work for that
goal.
In addition, multiple subsystems Kconfig symbols across networking
features like tunnels, drivers and filesystems have been adjusted to
depend on IPv4. Keep on mind that follow-up work is required to convert
the Kconfig symbol to bool and remove the dependency on IPv4 where it
makes sense.
Acked-by: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>

Sashiko: Marking the Kconfig symbols to depend on IPV4 is intentional,
plenty of features won't work without IPv4 for now. Follow-up patches
are required to support IPv4=n for those symbols.

Currently, the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) is unconditionally
tied to CONFIG_NETLABEL. Because CIPSO is inherently an IPv4 protocol
feature, this creates a transitive dependency where subsystems relying on
NetLabel (such as Smack) are forced to depend on CONFIG_IPV4, even if
the user only wants to utilize IPv6/CALIPSO.
This patch introduces a new CONFIG_CIPSO boolean that is automatically
enabled only when both NETLABEL and IPV4 are selected. It abstracts the
CIPSO-specific Makefile targets, sysctls, and kernel APIs behind this
new config.
By safely stubbing out the CIPSO netlabel_kapi functions to return
-ENOSYS when disabled, this allows NetLabel and Smack to be successfully
built and used on IPv6-only kernels.
