9cd69c45c5 firmware-utils: tplink-safeloader: add TP-Link Archer C25 v1
This adds the necessary firmware layout definitions for the Archer C25.
It has an addtional partition containing some static data ("extra-para")
without which no factory flash is possible, therefore put_data() has been
added.

b7cc661615 ar71xx: add support for TP-Link TL-WR942N v1
TP-Link TL-WR942N v1 is a 2.4 GHz single-band N450 router, based on
Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9561.

Specification:

- 775/650/258 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 128 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- 3T3R 2.4 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x USB 2.0
- 11x LED (most are controlled by 74HC595)
- 2x button
- UART header on PCB*

* Serial console is disabled in OEM non-beta firmwares and corresponding
  GPIO pins 14 and 15 are assigned to control USB1 and USB2 LEDs by
  production (non-beta) U-Boot and firmware.

Currently not working:

1. USB1 and USB2 LEDs if UART RX and TX pins are assigned to their GPIOs
   by some U-Boot versions.

Flash instruction under vendor GUI:

1. Download "lede-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr942n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin".
2. Go to WEB interface and perform usual firmware upgrade.

FLash instruction under U-Boot recovery mode (doesn't work in beta
firmware):

1. Setup PC with static IP "192.168.0.66/24" and tftp server.
2. Change "*-factory" image filename to "WR942v1_recovery.bin" and make
   it available to download from your tftp server.
3. Press "reset" button and power up the router, wait till "WPS" LED
   turns on.

Flash instruction under U-Boot, using UART (can be done only with
preinstalled UART-enabled U-Boot version!):

1. Use "tpl" to stop autobooting and obtain U-Boot CLI access.
2. Setup ip addresses for U-Boot and your tftp server.
3. Issue below commands:
   tftp 0x81000000 lede-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr942n-v1-sysupgrade.bin
   erase 0x9f020000 +$filesize
   cp.b 0x81000000 0x9f020000 $filesize
   reset

c4022243d8 firmware-utils: tplink-safeloader: support strings as soft_version
Some TP-Link routers (C25, C59, C60) contain a version string instead
of a binary structure in the soft_version partition.

Flashing LEDE from the original firmware's GUI, this version string
taken from the soft_ver partition of the firmware image is written to
the router's config partition.

When using tftp recovery to go back to the original Archer C25 firmware,
a version check compares that version to the version of the firmware to
be flashed.

Without proper contents in the config partition, reverting to the
original firmware fails.

Therefore, write the string "soft_ver:1.0.0\n" to that soft_ver
partition.

16a905b322 dnsmasq: make bind-dynamic 'non-wildcard' interfaces default
'non-wildcard' interfaces enables dnsmasq's '--bind-dynamic' mode.  This
binds to interfaces rather than wildcard addresses *and* keeps track of
interface comings/goings via a unique Linux api.

Quoting dnsmasq's author "bind-dynamic (bind individual addresses, keep
up with changes in interface config) ... On linux, there's actually no
sane reason not to use --bind-dynamic, and it's only not the default for
historical reasons."

Let's change history, well on LEDE at least, and change the default!

5e4bb476c0 kexec-tools: bump version and add support for crashdump kernel
split kexec-tools into two packages, kexec and kdump.
* kexec to simply execute a new kernel
* kdump is for loading and collecting debris of a crashed kernel with
  support for kdump forensics.

In order to properly support booting into a crashkernel, an init script
as well as UCI configuration has been added.
As modifying the kernel cmdline is required for this to work in x86
platforms use an uci-defaults script to modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

To test collecting crash information, use the 'c' sysrq-trigger, ie.
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

This should result in the crash kernel being executed and (depending
on the configution) dmesg and/or vmcore getting saved.

To check if the crash kernel was loaded properly, use the 'status'
command of the kdump init script.

* Fix network_get_ipaddrs_all()

  Instead of replicating the flawed logic appending a fixed ":1" suffix
  to IPv6 addresses, rely on network_get_ipaddrs() and network_get_ipaddrs6()
  to build a single list of all interface addresses.

* Fix network_get_subnets6()

  to IPv6 addresses, rely on the ipv6-prefix-assignment.local-address

92c80f38cf automake: import upstream fix for perl 5.26
Build broke as distributions now include Perl 5.26 and automake
triggered an "Unescaped left brace in regex" error.
Import upstream commit 13f00eb449 to fix that.

Seems others are running into this as well.
The problem seems to be that some code may be built
as C++ and not C, which may explain the linker error.

On this thread reply:
   https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2016-11/msg00045.html
it mentions that the simulator should not call GDB's
"error" function directly, but rather use the "host_callback"
struct.

I have no idea about the use of the GDB simulator within
the OpenWrt/LEDE community.

So, I took the easier route, which is to disable the simulator.
(Also suggested here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2016-11/msg00047.html )

If needed, I can make an effort to fix the simulator for PPC.
