dhcpv4: don't copy reqopts around
Ok, this is a bit weird, dhcpv4_handle_msg() passes reqopts to dhcpv4_lease(),
which stashes a copy of the reqopts in the struct dhcp_assignment, and then
dhcpv4_handle_msg() uses the stashed copy instead.
The only reason a copy is made seems to be so that the requested options can
later be reported via ubus (in "ubus call dhcp ipv4leases"), but it is hard to
see a use-case for that (the DHCP server has already replied to the client by
the time the lease is available over ubus) and we don't do anything similar for
DHCPv6, so remove the extra copying.

dhcpv4: preparations for iovec usage
dhcpv4.c currently builds DHCPv4 messages by lots of repeated calls to the
dhcpv4_put() method, which basically does a whole lot of copies to the stack.
The following set of patches convert dhcpv4.c over to use iovecs, which avoids
almost all of the stack allocations and copies.
The first step is to lay the groundwork by changing dhcpv4_send_reply() and the
corresponding dhcpv6_4o6_send_reply() in dhcpv6.c so that they both take an
iovec instead of a plain buffer. Also introduce the first (very very simple)
iovec for dhcpv4_handle_msg() which just contains the whole packet, plus the
end marker as a separate vector element. It will be filled out further in

In a nutshell, this allows static leases which have only been configured
with a DUID (so no IAID specified) to be reassigned to any client with
the same DUID (but potentially different IAID). This matches how
multiple MAC addresses are handled in the DHCPv4 case, and supports the
use case for e.g. moving from WiFi to ethernet.
On the other hand, it is probably not what one would want for e.g. a
server that has several NICs connected to the same network. For those
cases, defining static leases with DUID and IAID anyway seems
preferrable (and it will also ensure a static interface<->IPv6 addr
mapping).

odhcpd: support assignments on the basis of IAID
With this patch, IAIDs are actually taken into account when creating
assignments, which allows per-IAID assignments.
The old odhcpd behaviour is still kept for assignments which only
specify a DUID. That behaviour is a first-come-first-serve basis, where
the first request (no matter what the IAID is) will get the static
address, and later requests with different IAIDs will get a NoAddrsAvail
error message (in other words, assignments are not re-assigned and
random adresses are not provided when the "main" address is already
assigned, if the DUID is known in a static config).
The old odhcpd behaviour can be described as follows:
Imagine a "dhcp" configuration file with a single static assignment:
config host
option name 'test'
option ip '192.168.44.2'
option mac '00:00:00:00:ca:fe'
option duid '
0003000100000000cafe'
option hostid '02'
And odhcpd running on an interface with IPv6 addr fd00:aaaa::1/48, using
a simple test client (command line parameters should be self-evident
here, foo-client is the client part of a veth interface pair, odhcpd is
listening to the peer interface foo-server):
$ sudo dhcpdig --iaid=0x01 --duid=f000 foo-client
IPv6: fd00:aaaa::9c5
$ sudo dhcpdig --iaid=0x01 --duid=f000 foo-client

$ sudo dhcpdig --iaid=0x02 --duid=f000 foo-client

0003000100000000cafe foo-client
IPv6: fd00:aaaa::2
$ sudo dhcpdig --iaid=0x02 --duid=
0003000100000000cafe foo-client
STATUS: NoAddrsAvail (2)
IOW, unknown DUIDs get randomly assigned per-IAID IPv6 addresses. Known
statically determined DUIDs will be awarded to the first client
attempting a lease, no matter what the IAID is, but the IAID will be
remembered and subsequent requests with other IAIDs will fail.
With this patch applied, assume a "dhcp" configuration file with the
following assignments:
config host
option name 'testcafe'
option ip '192.168.44.2'
option mac '00:00:00:00:ca:fe'
option hostid '02'
option duid '

ndp: fix macOS IPv6 compatibility by using link-local source addresses
macOS ignores NDP packets that don't originate from link-local addresses,
causing IPv6 connectivity issues with odhcpd. This change ensures NDP
packets (Neighbor Advertisements and ICMP Echo Requests) are sent using
link-local source addresses for RFC 4861 compliance.
Changes:
* Add ndp_from_link_local configuration flag (defaults to true)
* Add odhcpd_send_with_src() to allow explicit source address control
* Add odhcpd_try_send_with_src() helper to eliminate code duplication
* Add odhcpd_get_interface_linklocal_addr() with caching for performance
* Update send_na() and ping6() to use link-local source addresses when
enabled
* Add RFC 4861, §4.2 comments explaining the mandated behavior
* Maintain backward compatibility with fallback behavior

dhcpv4: make the cookie explicit in struct dhcpv4_message
This makes the struct more explicit while allowing a number of magic offsets to
be removed.
Note that adding the packed attribute to struct dhcpv4_message is necessary
because the incoming data is cast directly to the struct. Adding the attribute
will give the struct an alignment of 1 instead of 4 (the normal alignment of
struct in_addr and uint32_t).
In the beginning of dhcpv4_handle_msg(), we cast "void *data" to struct
dhcpv4_message, but we can't know the alignment of "*data" (meaning it has
alignment 1). And by casting "*data" to a struct, we're actually promising the
compiler that "*data" has the same alignment as the struct.
Later, the address of members of struct dhcpv4_message are passed to other
functions, but since struct dhcpv4_message can be at any memory location, it's
not a given that the pointers are aligned. This issue only becomes visible once
the packed attribute is added, which is why the temporary (aligned) struct
in_addr variables are added in the WITH_UBUS blocks.

ndp: Allow NS loopback for master iface
This commit modifies handle_solicit() in ndp.c to correct IPv6 relay
handling of Neighbor Solicitation (NS) requests when no upstream
solicitation is received.
Background: In IPv6 relay mode, odhcpd discovers local devices only upon
receiving upstream NS packets. If no upstream NS arrives (e.g. because the
upstream router’s neighbor cache is still valid or no solicitation was
ever sent), OpenWrt may attempt neighbor resolution via the master (WAN)
interface instead of the LAN, leaving local devices undiscoverable and
breaking connectivity.
- When an NS packet is sent by the host's master interface, do not
immediately return; instead continue searching slave interfaces for the
target neighbor.
- When odhcpd responds to NS packets, add a check to prevent replying to
NS packets that were sent by the host itself.

odhcpd: improve RFC9096 § 3.5 SLAAC compliance
When a CE router provides LAN-side address-configuration information
via SLAAC:
* A CE router sending RAs that advertise prefixes belonging to a
dynamically learned prefix (e.g., via DHCPv6-PD) SHOULD record, on
stable storage, the list of prefixes being advertised via PIOs on
each network segment and the state of the "A" and "L" flags of the
corresponding PIOs.
* Upon changes to the advertised prefixes, and after bootstrapping,
the CE router advertising prefix information via SLAAC proceeds as
follows:
- Any prefixes that were previously advertised by the CE router
via PIOs in RA messages, but that have now become stale, MUST
be advertised with PIOs that have the "Valid Lifetime" and the
"Preferred Lifetime" set to 0 and the "A" and "L" bits
unchanged.
- The aforementioned advertisements MUST be performed for at
least the "Valid Lifetime" previously employed for such
prefixes.
This should be enabled by default with a folder in "/tmp" to avoid forcing
flash writes for all the users and at least handle the stale PIOs on PPPoe
reconnections. For example:
uci set dhcp.odhcpd.piofolder="/tmp/odhcpd-piofolder"
uci commit dhcp
There's a new ubus call which allows getting all the IPv6 RA PIOs, with
information about their lifetime and stale status:
ubus call dhcp ipv6ra
{
"interfaces": {
"br-lan": [
{
"lifetime": 5390,
"prefix": "2001:db8:0:100::/64",
"stale": true

{
"prefix": "2001:db8:0:200::/64",
"stale": false
},
{
"prefix": "fd00::/64",
"stale": false
}

"stale": false
},
{
"prefix": "fd00:0:0:10::/64",
"stale": false
}
]
}
}
The current implementation performs a flash write per interface whenever
a new prefix is added or an existing prefix becomes stale.
Since some ISPs assign static or semi-static prefixes to their customers,
it should be up to the user to enable flash writes when needed.

odhcpd: add DNR (RFC 9463) support
Discovery of Network-designated Resolvers (DNR) allows devices on the network
to discover encrypted DNS resolvers, which has so far required either manual
configuration or other approaches (like systemd-resolved's "opportunistic"
mode).
To enable DNR, a new uci parameter has been added, which needs to contain at
the very least, the priority (1-65535, lower = higher priority) and the server
hostname (Authentication Domain Name, ADN, to use the wording of RFC9463):
config dhcp 'lan'
…
list dnr '100 foobar.example.com'
Optionally (and preferably), a comma-separated list of IP addresses and
SvcParams can also be specified, like this (line wrapping added):
config dhcp 'lan'
…
list dnr '100 resolver1.example.com
fda7:ab54:69fb::1,fda7:ab54:69fb::2,10.0.0.1
alpn=dot port=853'
list dnr '200 resolver2.example.com
fda7:ab54:69fb::2,10.0.1.1,10.0.1.2
alpn=dot port=853'
Client support is on it's way (e.g. in systemd PR #30952 or in the Windows
Insiders program).

add hostsfile output in addition to statefile
a92c0a7 made the temporary state/leasefile hidden so that an atomic
change was made and dnsmasq only saw the new file on rename. A
misguided optimisation was made to only rename the temporary file if
something had changed. Unfortunately only address and hostnames were
considered in the change, lease durations were not.
As a result it was possible for LUCI which consumes the state/leasefile
to report DHCPv6 leases had expired when they had not.
Revert the optimisation so that the file rename occurs irrespective of
content change, this keeps LUCI reporting of state/lease expiry correct.
This leaves us back with hosts file/dnsmasq update problem. Solve this
by writing out a separate hosts file. Update this file using the
original IP/Hostname change logic that prompts calling the 'lease'
script.
odhcpd config now supports a string 'hostsfile' which defines the path
and name of the hosts file in an identical manner to 'leasefile'. A
state 'leasefile' must be defined IF a 'hostsfile' is also required.
eg.
leasefile '/tmp/odhcpdstate'
hostsfile '/tmp/hosts/odhcpdhosts'

odhcpd: add support for dhcpv6_pd_min_len parameter
The dhcpv6_pd_min_len configuration clamps the requested prefix
delegation to be at least as big as the option. This allows a
router to manage the size of each downstream router's prefix
delegation length independently from the delegating interface's
prefix length.
This behavior is an implementation choice permitted by the RFCs.
The delegating router (us) is not required to honor the hint
(RFC3633, section 11.2, we MAY choose to use the information in the
option; RFC8168, section 3.2 has several SHOULDs about desired
choices for selecting a prefix to delegate).
This configuration allows us to conserve prefix space so that any
single router can't grab too much of it. Consider if we have an
interface with a /56 prefix. A requesting router could ask for a
/58 and take 1/4 of our total address space. But if we set a
minimum of /60, we can limit each requesting router to get only 1/16
of our total address space.
sample config:
config dhcp 'pd'
...
option dhcpv6_pd_min_len '60'
