iPXE has no concept of the local time zone, mainly because there is no
viable way to obtain time zone information in the absence of local
state. This causes potential problems with newly-issued certificates
and certificates that are about to expire.
Avoid such problems by allowing an error margin of around 12 hours on
certificate validity periods, similar to the error margin already
allowed for OCSP response timestamps.

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.

iPXE is fundamentally asynchronous in operation: some operations
continue in the background even after the foreground has continued to
a new task. For example, the closing FIN/ACK exchanges of a TCP
connection will take place in the background after an HTTP download
has completed.

Add support for constructing OCSP queries and parsing OCSP responses.
(There is no support yet for actually issuing an OCSP query via an

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.

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.

Provide an internal syslog() function (unrelated to the syslog
console) which can be used to create log messages with specified
priorities.
The build-time constant LOG_LEVEL can be used to select the minimum
required priority for log messages. Any messages that do not have a
sufficient priority will be ignored (and will be optimised away at
compile-time).
The default LOG_LEVEL is LOG_NONE.
