[tls] Do not access beyond the end of a 24-bit integer
The current implementation handles big-endian 24-bit integers (which
occur in several TLS record types) by treating them as big-endian
32-bit integers which are shifted by 8 bits. This can result in
"Invalid read" errors when running under valgrind, if the 24-bit field
happens to be exactly at the end of an I/O buffer.
Fix by ensuring that we touch only the three bytes which comprise the
24-bit integer.

[netdevice] Allow network devices to disclaim IRQ support at runtime
VLAN and 802.11 devices use a network device operations structure that
wraps an underlying structure. For example, the vlan_operations
structure wraps the network device operations structure of the
underlying trunk device. This can cause false positives from the
current implementation of netdev_irq_supported(), which will always
report that VLAN devices support interrupts since it has no visibility
into the support provided by the underlying trunk device.
Fix by allowing network devices to explicitly flag that interrupts are
not supported, despite the presence of an irq() method.

[tcp] Gracefully close connections during shutdown
We currently do not wait for a received FIN before exiting to boot a
loaded OS. In the common case of booting from an HTTP server, this
means that the TCP connection is left consuming resources on the
server side: the server will retransmit the FIN several times before
giving up.
Fix by initiating a graceful close of all TCP connections and waiting
(for up to one second) for all connections to finish closing
gracefully (i.e. for the outgoing FIN to have been sent and ACKed, and
for the incoming FIN to have been received and ACKed at least once).

[ipoib] Attempt to generate ARPs as needed to repopulate REMAC cache
The only way to map an eIPoIB MAC address (REMAC) to an IPoIB MAC
address is to intercept an incoming ARP request or reply.
If we do not have an REMAC cache entry for a particular destination
MAC address, then we cannot transmit the packet. This can arise in at
least two situations:
- An external program (e.g. a PXE NBP using the UNDI API) may attempt
to transmit to a destination MAC address that has been obtained by
some method other than ARP.
- Memory pressure may have caused REMAC cache entries to be
discarded. This is fairly likely on a busy network, since REMAC
cache entries are created for all received (broadcast) ARP
requests. (We can't sensibly avoid creating these cache entries,
since they are required in order to send an ARP reply, and when we
are being used via the UNDI API we may have no knowledge of which
IP addresses are "ours".)
Attempt to ameliorate the situation by generating a semi-spurious ARP
request whenever we find a missing REMAC cache entry. This will
hopefully trigger an ARP reply, which would then provide us with the
information required to populate the REMAC cache.

[stp] Add support for detecting Spanning Tree Protocol non-forwarding ports
A fairly common end-user problem is that the default configuration of
a switch may leave the port in a non-forwarding state for a
substantial length of time (tens of seconds) after link up. This can
cause iPXE to time out and give up attempting to boot.
We cannot force the switch to start forwarding packets sooner, since
any attempt to send a Spanning Tree Protocol bridge PDU may cause the
switch to disable our port (if the switch happens to have the Bridge
PDU Guard feature enabled for the port).
For non-ancient versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, we can detect
whether or not the port is currently forwarding and use this to inform
the network device core that the link is currently blocked.

[ethernet] Add minimal support for receiving LLC frames
In some Ethernet framing variants the two-byte protocol field is used
as a length, with the Ethernet header being followed by an IEEE 802.2
LLC header. The first two bytes of the LLC header are the DSAP and
SSAP.
If the received Ethernet packet appears to use this framing, then
interpret the two-byte DSAP and SSAP as being the network-layer
protocol. This allows support for receiving Spanning Tree Protocol
frames (which use an LLC header with {DSAP,SSAP}=0x4242) to be added
without requiring a full LLC protocol layer.

[tcp] Do not shrink window when discarding received packets
We currently shrink the TCP window permanently if we are ever forced
(by a low-memory condition) to discard a previously received TCP
packet. This behaviour was intended to reduce the number of
retransmissions in a lossy network, since lost packets might
potentially result in the entire window contents being retransmitted.
Since commit e0fc8fe ("[tcp] Implement support for TCP Selective
Acknowledgements (SACK)") the cost of lost packets has been reduced by
around one order of magnitude, and the reduction in the window size
(which affects the maximum throughput) is now the more significant
cost.
Remove the code which reduces the TCP maximum window size when a
received packet is discarded.

[neighbour] Return success when deferring a packet
Deferral of a packet for neighbour discovery is not really an error.
If we fail to discover a neighbour then the failure will eventually be
reported by the call to neighbour_destroy() when any outstanding I/O
buffers are discarded.
The current behaviour breaks PXE booting on FreeBSD, which seems to
treat the error return from PXENV_UDP_WRITE as a fatal error and so
never proceeds to poll PXENV_UDP_READ (and hence never allows iPXE to
receive the ARP reply and send the deferred UDP packet).
Change neighbour_tx() to return success when deferring a packet. This
fixes interoperability with FreeBSD and removes transient neighbour
cache misses from the "ifstat" error output, while leaving genuine
neighbour discovery failures visible via "ifstat" (once neighbour
discovery times out, or the interface is closed).

[tcp] Implement support for TCP Selective Acknowledgements (SACK)
The TCP Selective Acknowledgement option (specified in RFC2018)
provides a mechanism for the receiver to indicate packets that have
been received out of order (e.g. due to earlier dropped packets).
iPXE often operates in environments in which there is a high
probability of packet loss. For example, the legacy USB keyboard
emulation in some BIOSes involves polling the USB bus from within a
system management interrupt: this introduces an invisible delay of
around 500us which is long enough for around 40 full-length packets to
be dropped. Similarly, almost all 1Gbps USB2 devices will eventually
end up dropping packets because the USB2 bus does not provide enough
bandwidth to sustain a 1Gbps stream, and most devices will not provide
enough internal buffering to hold a full TCP window's worth of
received packets.
Add support for sending TCP Selective Acknowledgements. This provides
the sender with more detailed information about which packets have
been lost, and so allows for a more efficient retransmission strategy.
We include a SACK-permitted option in our SYN packet, since
experimentation shows that at least Linux peers will not include a
SACK-permitted option in the SYN-ACK packet if one was not present in
the initial SYN. (RFC2018 does not seem to mandate this behaviour,
but it is consistent with the approach taken in RFC1323.) We ignore
any received SACK options; this is safe to do since SACK is only ever
advisory and we never have to send non-trivial amounts of data.
Since our TCP receive queue is a candidate for cache discarding under
low memory conditions, we may end up discarding data that has been
reported as received via a SACK option. This is permitted by RFC2018.
We follow the stricture that SACK blocks must not report data which is
no longer held by the receiver: previously-reported blocks are
validated against the current receive queue before being included
within the current SACK block list.
Experiments in a qemu VM using forced packet drops (by setting
NETDEV_DISCARD_RATE to 32) show that implementing SACK improves
throughput by around 400%.
Experiments with a USB2 NIC (an SMSC7500) show that implementing SACK
improves throughput by around 700%, increasing the download rate from
35Mbps up to 250Mbps (which is approximately the usable bandwidth
limit for USB2).

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.
