When handling a redirection event, we need to close the existing
connection before opening the new connection.

Eliminate the potential for mismatches between table names and the
table entry data type by incorporating the data type into the
definition of the table, rather than specifying it explicitly in each
table accessor method.

Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries.  Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.

Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.

Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.

This change makes it possible to break the PXE-chaining infinite loop
even when restricted to a Windows DHCP server.

The documentation in xfer.h and xfer.c does not say that the metadata
parameter is optional in calls such as xfer_deliver_iob_meta() and the
deliver_iob() method.  However, some code in net/ is prepared to
accept a NULL pointer, and xfer_deliver_as_iob() passes a NULL pointer
directly to the deliver_iob() method.

Fix this mess of conflicting assumptions by making everything assume
that the metadata parameter is mandatory, and fixing
xfer_deliver_as_iob() to pass in a dummy metadata structure (as is
already done in xfer_deliver_iob()).

Various combinations of options 43.6, 43.7 and 43.8 dictate which
servers we send Boot Server Discovery requests to, and which servers
we should accept responses from.  Obey these options, and remove the
explicit specification of a single Boot Server from start_pxebs() and
dependent functions.

There are many functions that take ownership of the I/O buffer they
are passed as a parameter.  The caller should not retain a pointer to
the I/O buffer.  Use iob_disown() to automatically nullify the
caller's pointer, e.g.:

    xfer_deliver_iob ( xfer, iob_disown ( iobuf ) );

This will ensure that iobuf is set to NULL for any code after the call
to xfer_deliver_iob().

iob_disown() is currently used only in places where it simplifies the
code, by avoiding an extra line explicitly setting the I/O buffer
pointer to NULL.  It should ideally be used with each call to any
function that takes ownership of an I/O buffer.  (The SSA
optimisations will ensure that use of iob_disown() gets optimised away
in cases where the caller makes no further use of the I/O buffer
pointer anyway.)

If gcc ever introduces an __attribute__((free)), indicating that use
of a function argument after a function call should generate a
warning, then we should use this to identify all applicable function
call sites, and add iob_disown() as necessary.

A TFTP DATA packet with a block number of zero (representing a
negative offset within the file) could potentially cause problems.
Fixed by explicitly rejecting such packets.

The DHCP client code now implements only the mechanism of the DHCP and
PXE Boot Server protocols.  Boot Server Discovery can be initiated
manually using the "pxebs" command.  The menuing code is separated out
into a user-level function on a par with boot_root_path(), and is
entered in preference to a normal filename boot if the DHCP vendor
class is "PXEClient" and the PXE boot menu option exists.

Try to qualify relative names in the DNS resolver using the DHCP Domain
Name.  For example:

  DHCP Domain Name: etherboot.org
  (Relative) Name: www

yields:

  www.etherboot.org

Only names with no dots ('.') will be modified.  A name with one or more
dots is unchanged.

pxe_tftp.c assumes that the first seek on its data-transfer interface
represents the block size.  Apart from being an ugly hack, this will
also screw up file size calculation for files smaller than one block.

The proper solution would be to extend the data-transfer interface to
support the reporting of stat()-like data.  This is not going to
happen until the cost of adding interface methods is reduced (a fix I
have planned since June 2008).

In the meantime, abuse the xfer_window() method to return the block
size, since it is not being used for anything else and is vaguely
justifiable.

Astonishingly, having returned the incorrect TFTP blocksize via
PXENV_TFTP_OPEN for almost a year seems not to have affected any of
the test cases run during that time; this bug was found only when
someone tried running the heavily-patched version of pxegrub found in
OpenSolaris.

PXE dictates a mechanism for boot menuing, involving prompting the
user with a variable message, waiting for a predefined keypress,
displaying a boot menu, and waiting for a selection.

This breaks the currently desirable abstraction that DHCP is a process
that can happen in the background without any user interaction.

Remove the lazy assumption that ProxyDHCP == "DHCP with option 60 set
to PXEClient", and explicitly separate the notion of ProxyDHCP from
the notion of packets containing PXE options.

It is possible to configure a DHCP server to hand out PXE options
without a ProxyDHCP server present.  This requires setting option 60
to "PXEClient", which will cause gPXE to attempt ProxyDHCP.

We assume in several places that dhcp->proxydhcpack is set to the
DHCPACK packet containing option 60 set to "PXEClient".  When we
transition into ProxyDHCPREQUEST, set dhcp->proxydhcpack=dhcp->dhcpack
so that this assumption holds true.

We ought to rename several references to "proxydhcp" to something more
accurate, such as "pxedhcp".  Treating a single DHCP response as
potentially both DHCPOFFER and ProxyDHCPOFFER does make the code
smaller, but the variable names get confusing.

Pick out the first boot menu item from the boot menu (option 43.9) and
pass it to the boot server as the boot menu item (option 43.71).

Also improve DHCP debug messages to include more details of the
packets being transmitted.

Some PXE configurations require us to perform a third DHCP transaction
(in addition to the real DHCP transaction and the ProxyDHCP
transaction) in order to retrieve information from a "Boot Server".

This is an experimental implementation, since the actual behaviour is
not well specified in the PXE spec.

Move all the DHCP state transition logic into a single function
dhcp_next_state().  This will make it easier to add support for PXE
Boot Servers, since it abstracts away the difference between "mark
DHCP as complete" and "transition to boot server discovery".

The Linux PXE server (http://www.kano.org.uk/projects/pxe) does not
set the server identifier in its ProxyDHCP responses.  If the server
ID is missing, do not treat this as an error.

This resolves the "vague and unsettling memory" mentioned in commit
fdb8481d ("[dhcp] Verify server identifier on ProxyDHCPACKs").

Note that we already accept ProxyDHCPOFFERs without a server
identifier; they get treated as potential BOOTP packets.

Remove various 32-bit assumptions scattered throughout the codebase.
The code is still not necessarily 64-bit clean, but will at least
compile.

Settings can be constructed using a dotted-decimal notation, to allow
for access to unnamed settings.  The default interpretation is as a
DHCP option number (with encapsulated options represented as
"<encapsulating option>.<encapsulated option>".

In several contexts (e.g. SMBIOS, Phantom CLP), it is useful to
interpret the dotted-decimal notation as referring to non-DHCP
options.  In this case, it becomes necessary for these contexts to
ignore standard DHCP options, otherwise we end up trying to, for
example, retrieve the boot filename from SMBIOS.

Allow settings blocks to specify a "tag magic".  When dotted-decimal
notation is used to construct a setting, the tag magic value of the
originating settings block will be ORed in to the tag number.
Store/fetch methods can then check for the magic number before
interpreting arbitrarily-numbered settings.

The ProxyDHCPREQUEST is a unicast packet, so the first request will
almost always be lost due to not having the IP address in the ARP
cache.  If the minimum retry time is set to one second (as per commit
ff2b6a5), then ProxyDHCP will time out and give up before managing to
successfully transmit a request.

The DHCP timers need to be reworked anyway, so this mild hack is
acceptable for now.

New min_timeout and max_timeout fields in struct retry_timer allow
users of this timer to set their own desired minimum and maximum
timeouts, without being constrained to a single global minimum and
maximum. Users of the timer can still elect to use the default global
values by leaving the min_timeout and max_timeout fields as 0.

Altiris erroneously cares about the ordering of DHCP options, and will
get confused if we don't construct them in the order it expects.

This is observed (so far) only when attempting to deploy 64-bit Win2k3.

Verifying server ID and DHCP transaction ID is insufficient to
differentiate between DHCPACK and ProxyDHCPACK when the DHCP server and
Proxy DHCP server are the same machine.

Perform the same test for a matching DHCP_SERVER_IDENTIFIER on
ProxyDHCPACKs as we do for DHCPACKs.  Otherwise, a retransmitted
DHCPACK can end up being treated as the ProxyDHCPACK.

I have a vague and unsettling memory that this test was deliberately
omitted, but I can't remember why, and can't find anything in the VC
logs.

Add the definition of SLAM_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_NACK, which is roughly
equivalent to a TCP window size; it represents the maximum number of
packets that will be requested in a single NACK.

Note that, to keep the code size down, we still limit ourselves to
requesting only a single range per NACK; if the missing-block list is
discontiguous then we may request fewer than SLAM_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_NACK
blocks.

On any fast network, or with any driver that may drop packets
(e.g. Infiniband, which has very small RX rings), the traditional
usage of the SLAM protocol will result in enormous numbers of packet
drops and a consequent large number of retransmissions.

By adapting the client behaviour, we can force the server to act more
like a multicast TFTP server, with flow control provided by a single
master client.

This behaviour should interoperate with any traditional SLAM client
(e.g. Etherboot 5.4) on the network.  The SLAM protocol isn't actually
documented anywhere, so it's hard to define either behaviour as
compliant or otherwise.

A missing test for dhcp->dhcpoffer in dhcp_timer_expired() was causing
the client to transition to DHCPREQUEST after timing out on waiting
for ProxyDHCP even if no DHCPOFFERs had been received.

In a SLAM NACK packet, if we run out of space to represent the
missing-block list, then indicate all remaining blocks as missing.
This avoids the need to wait for the one-second timeout before
receiving the blocks that otherwise wouldn't have been requested due
to running out of space.

Shorter NACK packets take less time to construct and spew out less
debug output, and there's a limit to how useful it is to send a
complete missing-block list anyway; if the loss rate is high then
we're going to have to retransmit an updated missing-block list
anyway.

Also add pretty debugging output to show the list of requested blocks.

slam_parse_multicast_address() was failing to strip the initial "/"
from the URI path.

Tested against the mini-slamd server located in contrib/mini-slamd
with a single client, on a lossy network.

In particular, expose the system UUID as a setting ("smbios/uuid").

The PXE spec is (as usual) unclear on precisely when ProxyDHCPREQUESTs
should be issued.  We adapt the following, slightly paranoid approach:

  If an offer contains an IP address, then it is a normal DHCPOFFER.

  If an offer contains an option #60 "PXEClient", then it is a
  ProxyDHCPOFFER.  Note that the same packet can be both a normal
  DHCPOFFER and a ProxyDHCPOFFER.

  After receiving the normal DHCPACK, if we have received a
  ProxyDHCPOFFER, we unicast a ProxyDHCPREQUEST back to the ProxyDHCP
  server on port 4011.  If we time out waiting for a ProxyDHCPACK, we
  treat this as a non-fatal error.

Copy DHCP responses to a standard malloc()ed buffer, rather than
retaining the I/O buffer that they arrived in.

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.

DHCP code was using an incorrect check for whether to construct a
DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPREQUEST packet.

Add dedicated functions create_dhcpdiscover(), create_dhcpack() and
create_proxydhcpack() for use by external code such as the PXE preboot
code.

Register ProxyDHCP options under the global scope "proxydhcp".

Unregister previously-acquired DHCP and ProxyDHCP settings when DHCP
succeeds.
