it frequently happens that some of them use the same DHCP transaction ID.
This problem can be solved by combining the current timer ticks and the
least significant bits of the hardware address(es) to get a better
randomness for the seed.

X.509 certificate processing currently produces an overwhelming amount
of debugging information. Move some of this from DBGLVL_LOG to
DBGLVL_EXTRA, to make the output more manageable.

Automatically attempt to download any required cross-signing
certificates from http://ca.ipxe.org/auto, in order to enable the use
of standard SSL certificates issued by public CAs.

To allow for automatic download of cross-signing certificates and for
OCSP, the validation of certificates must be an asynchronous process.
Create a stub validator which uses a job-control interface to report
the result of certificate validation.

CMS includes an unordered certificate set, from which certificates
must be extracted in order by matching up issuers with subjects. We
will use the same functionality as part of the automatic download of
cross-signing certificates. Generalise cms_find_subject() to
x509_find_subject(), and create x509_auto_append().

At present, certificate chain validation is treated as an
instantaneous process that can be carried out using only data that is
already in memory. This model does not allow for validation to
include non-instantaneous steps, such as downloading a cross-signing
certificate, or determining certificate revocation status via OCSP.
Redesign the internal representation of certificate chains to allow
chains to outlive the scope of the original source of certificates
(such as a TLS Certificate record).
Allow for certificates to be cached, so that each certificate needs to
be validated only once.

The free-memory-block traversal code triggers multiple warnings from
Valgrind when assertions are enabled, since the list consistency
checks performed by list_check() end up accessing areas that have been
marked as inaccessible.
Fix by ensuring that any memory areas that will be accessed by
list_check() are marked as defined when necessary.

RTL8139C+ cards use essentially the same datapath as RTL8169, which is
zerocopy and 64-bit capable. Older RTL8139 cards use a single receive
ring buffer rather than a descriptor ring, but still share substantial
amounts of functionality with RTL8169.
Include support for RTL8139 cards within the generic Realtek driver,
since there is no way to differentiate between RTL8139 and RTL8139C+
cards based on the PCI IDs alone.
Many thanks to all the people who worked on the rtl8139 driver over
the years.

If a root certificate has been explicitly specified at build time
using TRUST=/path/to/cert then do not allow this to be overridden even
from a trustworthy settings source (such as VMware GuestInfo).
Similarly, if a client certificate (and private key) has been
explicitly specified at build time, then do not allow it to be
overridden at runtime.

Some objects (embedded.o, rootcert.o, and clientcert.o) define
additional dependencies on external files, using syntax such as:
$(BIN)/clientcert.o : $(CERT_LIST)
This dependency can be missed when using debug builds. For example,
if DEBUG=clientcert is used, then the relevant object is
$(BIN)/clientcert.dbg1.o rather than $(BIN)/clientcert.o.
Fix by adding dependencies to $(clientcert_DEPS) instead:
clientcert_DEPS += $(CERT_LIST)

http_step() allocates a potentially large block of storage (since the
URI can be arbitrarily long), and can be invoked as part of an already
deep call stack via xfer_window_changed().
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
xfer_printf() occasionally has to deal with strings that are
potentially long, such as HTTP URIs with multiple query parameters.
Allocating these on the stack can lead to stack overruns and memory
corruption.
Fix by using vasprintf() instead of a stack allocation.

The link state is currently set at probe time, and updated only when
the device is polled. This results in the user seeing a misleading
stale "Link: down" message, if autonegotiation did not complete within
the short timespan of the probe routine.
Fix by updating the link state when the device is opened, so that the
message that ends up being displayed to the user reflects the real
link state at device open time.

If the network interface has only just been opened (e.g. by the "dhcp"
command) then we should allow at least one opportunity for the card to
update the link state before testing it, to avoid false positives.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
There is no explicit SNP API call to determine link state; the SNP
interface user may check the MediaPresent field within the mode data
at any time.
Update the MediaPresent field whenever the link state changes.

Changing the trusted root certificate currently requires a rebuild of
the iPXE binary, which may be inconvenient or impractical.
Allow the list of trusted root certificate fingerprints to be
overridden using the "trust" setting, but only at the point of iPXE
initialisation. This prevents untrusted sources of settings
(e.g. DHCP) from subverting the chain of trust, while allowing
trustworthy sources to change the trusted root certificate without
requiring a rebuild.
The basic idea is that if you are able to manipulate a trustworthy
source of settings (e.g. VMware GuestInfo or non-volatile stored
options), then you would be able to replace the iPXE binary anyway,
and so no security is lost by allowing such sources to override the
list of trusted root certificates.

Solaris assumes that there is enough space above the Multiboot modules
to use as a decompression and scratch area. This assumption is
invalid when using iPXE, which places the Multiboot modules near the
top of (32-bit) memory.
Fix by copying the modules to an area of memory immediately following
the loaded kernel.
