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.

Replace the existing partially-implemented IPv6 stack with a fresh
implementation.
This implementation is not yet complete. The IPv6 transmit and
receive datapaths are functional (including fragment reassembly and
parsing of arbitrary extension headers). NDP neighbour solicitations
and advertisements are supported. ICMPv6 echo is supported.
At present, only link-local addresses may be used, and there is no way
to specify an IPv6 address as part of a URI (either directly or via
a DNS lookup).

[dhcp] Request broadcast responses when we already have an IPv4 address
FCoE requires the use of multiple local unicast link-layer addresses.
To avoid the complexity of managing multiple addresses, iPXE operates
in promiscuous mode. As a consequence, any unicast packets with
non-matching IPv4 addresses are rejected at the IPv4 layer (rather
than at the link layer).
This can cause problems when issuing a second DHCP request: if the
address chosen by the DHCP server does not match the existing address,
then the DHCP response will itself be rejected.
Fix by requesting a broadcast response from the DHCP server if the
network interface already has any IPv4 addresses.

[ipv4] Include network device metadata in packet traces
(Ab)use the "ident" field in transmitted IPv4 packets to convey
metadata about the network device. In particular:
bits 0-3 represent the low bits of the "RX" good packet counter
bits 4-7 represent the low bits of the "RXE" bad packet counter
bits 8-15 represent the transmitted packet sequence number
This allows some relevant information about the internal state of the
network device to be read out from a packet trace from a non-debug
build of iPXE. In particular, it allows a packet trace containing
packets transmitted by iPXE to indicate whether or not any packets
have been received by iPXE.

[ipv4] Ignore non-open net devices when performing routing
We do not discard routing table entries when closing an interface. It
is plausible that multiple interfaces may be on the same physical
network; if so, then we may end up in a situation whereby outbound
packets attempt to route via a closed interface.
Fix by ignoring non-open net devices in ipv4_route().
ipv4.c calculates the default subnet mask before calling
fetch_ipv4_setting() to retrieve the configured subnet mask (if any).
However, as of commit 612f4e7 "[settings] Avoid returning
uninitialised data on error in fetch_xxx_setting()",
fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero the IP address if the setting does not
exist, rather than leaving it unaltered.
Fix by fetching the setting first and calculating the default subnet
mask only if necessary.
[ipv4] Use a zero address to indicate "no gateway", rather than INADDR_NONE
ipv4.c uses a gateway address of INADDR_NONE to represent "no
gateway". It initialises the gateway address to INADDR_NONE before
calling fetch_ipv4_setting() to retrieve the configured gateway
address (if any).
However, as of commit 612f4e7 "[settings] Avoid returning
uninitialised data on error in fetch_xxx_setting()",
fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero the IP address if the setting does not
exist, rather than leaving it unaltered.
Fix by using a zero IP address to indicate "no gateway", so that a
non-existent gateway address setting will be treated as such.
[netdevice] Make ll_broadcast per-netdevice rather than per-ll_protocol
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.
[tcpip] Allow for transmission to multicast IPv4 addresses
When sending to a multicast address, it may be necessary to specify
the source address explicitly, since the multicast destination address
does not provide enough information to deduce the source address via
the miniroute table.
Allow the source address specified via the data-xfer metadata to be
passed down through the TCP/IP stack to the IPv4 layer, which can use
it as a default source address.
[netdevice] Split multicast hashing out into an mc_hash method
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.
From: Viswanath Krishnamurthy <viswa.krish@gmail.com>
The current ipv4 incorrectly checks the IP address for multicast address.
This causes valid IPv4 unicast address to be trated as multicast address
For e.g if the PXE/tftp server IP address is 192.168.4.XXX where XXX is
224 or greater, it gets treated as multicast address and a ethernet
multicast address is sent out on the wire causing timeouts
[Settings] Remove assumption that all settings have DHCP tag values
Allow for settings to be described by something other than a DHCP option
tag if desirable. Currently used only for the MAC address setting.
Separate out fake DHCP packet creation code from dhcp.c to fakedhcp.c.
Remove notion of settings from dhcppkt.c.
Rationalise dhcp.c to use settings API only for final registration of the
DHCP options, rather than using {store,fetch}_setting throughout.
