You are trying to call a libc function from within the kernel.
In general, you can not use /usr/include headers in kernel
code, only /usr/include/sys headers. This is because the
kernel is not linked againsts libc.
Mostly, you should not be dealing with strings in the kernel;
if you are adding a kernel entry point to be called from user
space, you should convert the address into a sockaddr_in
before you pass it into the kernel, instead.
