Avoid generating syntactically invalid log messages by ensuring that
invalid characters are not present in the hostname. In particular,
ensure that any whitespace is stripped, since whitespace functions as
a field separator for syslog messages.

[tcp] Defer sending ACKs until all received packets have been processed
When running inside a virtual machine (or when using the UNDI driver),
transmitting packets can be expensive. When we receive several
packets in one poll (e.g. because a slow BIOS timer interrupt routine
has caused us to fall behind in processing), we can safely send just a
single ACK to cover all of the received packets. This reduces the
time spent transmitting and allows us to clear the backlog much
faster.
Various RFCs (starting with RFC1122) state that there should be an ACK
for at least every second segment. We choose not to enforce this
rule. Under normal operation each poll should find at most one
received packet, and we will then not delay any ACKs. We delay
(i.e. omit) ACKs only when under sufficiently heavy load that we are
finding multiple packets per poll; under these conditions it is
important to clear the backlog quickly since any delay may lead to
dropped packets.

[crypto] Generalise X.509 cache to a full certificate store
Expand the concept of the X.509 cache to provide the functionality of
a certificate store. Certificates in the store will be automatically
used to complete certificate chains where applicable.
The certificate store may be prepopulated at build time using the
CERT=... build command line option. For example:
make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=mycert1.crt,mycert2.crt
Certificates within the certificate store are not implicitly trusted;
the trust list is specified using TRUST=... as before. For example:
make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=root.crt TRUST=root.crt
This can be used to embed the full trusted root certificate within the
iPXE binary, which is potentially useful in an HTTPS-only environment
in which there is no HTTP server from which to automatically download
cross-signed certificates or other certificate chain fragments.
This usage of CERT= extends the existing use of CERT= to specify the
client certificate. The client certificate is now identified
automatically by checking for a match against the private key. For
example:
make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=root.crt,client.crt TRUST=root.crt KEY=client.key

[crypto] Remove dynamically-allocated storage for certificate name
iPXE currently allocates a copy the certificate's common name as a
string. This string is used by the TLS and CMS code to check
certificate names against an expected name, and also appears in
debugging messages.
Provide a function x509_check_name() to centralise certificate name
checking (in preparation for adding subjectAlternativeName support),
and a function x509_name() to provide a name to be used in debugging
messages, and remove the dynamically allocated string.

[http] Automatically retry request on a 503 Service Unavailable
A web server may return a 503 Service Unavailable response along with
a Retry-After header to direct the client to retry the request at a
later time.
The Retry-After header may be a number of seconds, or a full HTTP
timestamp (e.g. "Fri, 7 Mar 2014 17:22:14 GMT"). We have no
reasonable way of parsing a full HTTP timestamp; if the server chooses
to use this format then we simply retry after a fixed 5-second delay.
As per RFC 2616, in the absence of a Retry-After header we treat a
status code of 503 Service Unavailable as being equivalent to 500
Internal Server Error, and immediately fail the request.

[tcp] Update window even if ACK does not acknowledge new data
iPXE currently ignores ACKs which do not acknowledge any new data.
(In particular, it does not stop the retransmission timer; this is
done to prevent an immediate retransmission if a duplicate ACK is
received while the transmit queue is non-empty.)
If a peer provides a window size of zero and later sends a duplicate
ACK to update the window size, this update will therefore be ignored
and iPXE will never be able to transmit data.
Fix by updating the window size even for ACKs which do not acknowledge
new data.

[netdevice] Mark devices as open before calling open() method
When opening a VLAN device, vlan_open() will call netdev_open() on the
trunk device. This will result in a call to netdev_notify(), which
will cause vlan_notify() to call vlan_sync() on the original VLAN
device, which will see that the trunk device is now open but the VLAN
device apparently isn't (since it has not yet been flagged as open by
netdev_open()). The upshot is a second attempt to open the VLAN
device, which will result in an erroneous second call to vlan_open().
This convoluted chain of events then terminates harmlessly since
vlan_open() calls netdev_open() on the trunk device, which just
returns immediately since the trunk device is by now flagged as being
already open.
Prevent this from happening by having netdev_open() flag the device as
open prior to calling the device's open() method, and reflagging it as
closed if the open() method fails.

iPXE currently advertises a fixed MSS of 1460, which is correct only
for IPv4 over Ethernet. For IPv6 over Ethernet, the value should be
1440 (allowing for the larger IPv6 header). For non-Ethernet link
layers, the value should reflect the MTU of the underlying network
device.
Use tcpip_mtu() to calculate the transport-layer MTU associated with
the peer address, and calculate the MSS to allow for an optionless TCP
header as per RFC 6691.
As a side benefit, we can now fail a connection immediately with a
meaningful error message if we have no route to the destination
address.

Add support for parsing of URIs containing literal IPv6 addresses
(e.g. "http://[fe80::69ff:fe50:5845%25net0]/boot.ipxe").
Duplicate URIs by directly copying the relevant fields, rather than by
formatting and reparsing a URI string. This relaxes the requirements
on the URI formatting code and allows it to focus on generating
human-readable URIs (e.g. by not escaping ':' characters within
literal IPv6 addresses). As a side-effect, this allows relative URIs
containing parameter lists (e.g. "../boot.php##params") to function
as expected.
Add validity check for FTP paths to ensure that only printable
characters are accepted (since FTP is a human-readable line-based
protocol with no support for character escaping).

a constructed "tftp://..." string,

[dhcp] Copy exactly the required length when resizing DHCP options
When resizing DHCP options, iPXE currently calculates the length to be

[dns] Update end-of-name pointer after processing CNAME record
Commit d4c0226 ("[dns] Support DNS search lists") introduced a
regression when handling CNAME records resolving to names longer than
the original name. The "end of name" offset stored in dns->offset was
not updated to reflect the length of the new name, causing
dns_question() to append the (empty) search suffix at an incorrect
offset within the name buffer, resulting in a mangled DNS name.
In the case of a CNAME record resolving to a name shorter than or
equal in length to the original name, then the mangling would occur in
an unused portion of the name buffer. In the common case of a name
server returning the A (or AAAA) record along with the CNAME record,
this would cause name resolution to succeed despite the mangling. (If
the name server did not return the A or AAAA record along with the
CNAME record, then the mangling would be revealed by the subsequent
invalid query packet.)
