Devices that support jumbo frames will currently default to the
largest possible MTU.  This assumption is valid for virtual adapters
such as virtio-net, where the MTU must have been configured by a
system administrator, but is unsafe in the general case of a physical
adapter.

Default to the standard Ethernet MTU, unless explicitly overridden
either by the driver or via the ${netX/mtu} setting.

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.

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.

These files cannot be automatically relicensed by util/relicense.pl
since they either contain unusual but trivial contributions (such as
the addition of __nonnull function attributes), or contain lines
dating back to the initial git revision (and so require manual
knowledge of the code's origin).

Some PXE stacks (observed with a QLogic 8242) will always try to
prepend a link-layer header, even if the caller uses P_UNKNOWN to
indicate that the link-layer header has already been filled in.  This
results in an invalid packet being transmitted.

Work around these faulty PXE stacks where possible by stripping the
existing link-layer header and allowing the PXE stack to (re)construct
the link-layer header itself.

Allow the link layer to directly report whether or not a packet is
multicast or broadcast at the time of calling pull(), rather than
relying on heuristics to determine this at a later stage.

Some switch configurations will refuse to enable our port unless we
can speak LACP to inform the switch that we are alive.  Add a very
simple passive LACP implementation that is sufficient to convince at
least Linux's bonding driver (when tested using qemu attached to a tap
device enslaved to a bond device configured as "mode=802.3ad").

The iBFT is Ethernet-centric in providing only six bytes for a MAC
address.  This is most probably an indirect consequence of a similar
design flaw in the Windows NDIS stack.  (The WinOF IPoIB stack
performs all sorts of contortions in order to pretend to the NDIS
layer that it is dealing with six-byte MAC addresses.)

There is no sensible way in which to extend the iBFT without breaking
compatibility with programs that expect to parse it.  Add the notion
of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address to our link layer abstraction,
so that link layers can provide their own workarounds for this
limitation.

802.11 multicast hashing is the same as standard Ethernet hashing, so
just expose and use eth_mc_hash().

IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes
represent anything relating to a "hardware address".

The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same
size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address"
field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).

IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key.  We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.

In order to construct outgoing link-layer frames or parse incoming
ones properly, some protocols (such as 802.11) need more state than is
available in the existing variables passed to the link-layer protocol
handlers. To remedy this, add struct net_device *netdev as the first
argument to each of these functions, so that more information can be
fetched from the link layer-private part of the network device.

Updated all three call sites (netdevice.c, efi_snp.c, pxe_undi.c) and
both implementations (ethernet.c, ipoib.c) of ll_protocol to use the
new argument.

Add FILE_LICENCE declarations to almost all files that make up the
various standard builds of gPXE.

eth_mc_hash() was missing a return within a switch statement, and so
always falling through to the default case and returning failure.

EFI requires us to be able to specify the source address for
individual transmitted packets, and to be able to extract the
destination address on received packets.

Take advantage of this to rationalise the push() and pull() methods so
that push() takes a (dest,source,proto) tuple and pull() returns a
(dest,source,proto) tuple.

Multicast hashing is an ugly overlap between network and link layers.
EFI requires us to provide access to this functionality, so move it
out of ipv4.c and expose it as a method of the link layer.

Determine the network-layer packet type and fill it in for UNDI
clients.  This is required by some NBPs such as emBoot's winBoot/i.

This change requires refactoring the link-layer portions of the
gPXE netdevice API, so that it becomes possible to strip the
link-layer header without passing the packet up the network stack.

Achieved via Perl using:

perl -pi -e 's/pk_buff/io_buffer/g; s/Packet buffer/I\/O buffer/ig; ' \
	-e 's/pkbuff\.h/iobuf.h/g; s/pkb_/iob_/g; s/_pkb/_iob/g; ' \
	-e 's/pkb/iobuf/g; s/PKB/IOB/g;'

Added a large number of missing calls to free_pkb().  In the case of UDP,
no received packets were ever freed, which lead to memory exhaustion
remarkably quickly once pxelinux started up.

In general, any function with _rx() in its name which accepts a pk_buff
*must* either call free_pkb() or pass the pkb to another _rx() function
(e.g. the next layer up the stack).  Since the UDP (and TCP) layers don't
pass packet buffers up to the higher-layer protocols (the
"applications"), they must free the packet buffer after calling the
application's newdata() method.

Kill off the static single net device and move to proper dynamic
registration (which we need with the new device model).

Break the (flawed) assumption that all network-layer protocols can use
ARP; such network-layer protocols (i.e. IPv4) must now register as an ARP
protocol using ARP_NET_PROTOCOL() and provide a single method for checking
the existence of a local network-layer address.

implementation allows for only one, and does so without compromising on
the efficiency of static allocation).

Network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from individual network

it with metadata in the pkb structure.  This is required since UNDI will
want to be able to parse the link-layer header without destroying it.
