Karel Kočí 3c1d1d4332 tools: add autoconf-archive
Some autotools based build systems are using autoconf-archive scripts
and are expecting them to almost always be available. This is not
required for regular releases as tar balls generated for releases
commonly have existing configure script. This is rather intended to be
used with autotools.mk's autoreconf and in cases it is not always
possible to get release tar ball.

Including this adds little to no overhead in terms of build time as
those are just m4 scripts copied to an appropriate location.

Richard Huynh f3792690c4 ramips: Add support for Xiaomi Redmi Router AC2100 (RM2100)
Specification:
- CPU: MediaTek MT7621A
- RAM: 128 MB DDR3
- FLASH: 128 MB ESMT NAND
- WIFI: 2x2 802.11bgn (MT7603)
- WIFI: 4x4 802.11ac (MT7615)
- ETH: 3xLAN+1xWAN 1000base-T
- LED: Power, WAN, in Amber and White
- UART: On board near ethernet, opposite side from power
- Modified u-boot

Installation:

1. Run linked exploit to get shell, startup telnet and wget the files over
2. mtd write openwrt-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_rm2100-squashfs-kernel1.bin kernel1
3. nvram set uart_en=1
4. nvram set bootdelay=5
5. nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=1
6. nvram commit
7. mtd -r write openwrt-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_rm2100-squashfs-rootfs0.bin rootfs0

Restore to stock:

1. Setup PXE and TFTP server serving stock firmware image
(See dhcp-boot option of dnsmasq)
2. Hold reset button down before powering on and wait for flashing amber led
3. Release reset button
4. Wait until status led changes from flashing amber to white

Notes:
This device has dual kernel and rootfs slots like other Xiaomi devices currently
supported (mir3g, etc.) thus, we use the second slot and overwrite the first
rootfs onwards in order to get more space.

Exploit and detailed instructions:

https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/xiaomi_redmi_router_ac2100

An implementation of CVE-2020-8597 against stock firmware version 1.0.14

This requires a computer with ethernet plugged into the wan port and an active
PPPoE session, and if successful will open a reverse shell to 192.168.31.177
on port 31337.

As this shell is somewhat unreliable and likely to be killed in a random amount
of time, it is recommended to wget a static compiled busybox binary onto the
device and start telnetd with it.

The stock telnetd and dropbear unfortunately appear inoperable.
(Disabled on release versions of stock firmware likely)
Ie. wget https://yourip/busybox-mipsel -O /tmp/busybox
chmod a+x /tmp/busybox
/tmp/busybox telnetd -l /bin/sh

Jason A. Donenfeld 0727c83a76 wireguard-tools: bump to 1.0.20200513
* ipc: add support for openbsd kernel implementation
* ipc: cleanup openbsd support
* wg-quick: add support for openbsd kernel implementation
* wg-quick: cleanup openbsd support

Very exciting! wg(8) and wg-quick(8) now support the kernel implementation for
OpenBSD. OpenBSD is the second kernel, after Linux, to receive full fledged
and supported WireGuard kernel support. We'll probably send our patch set up
to the list during this next week. `ifconfig wg0 create` to make an interface,
and `wg ...` like usual to configure WireGuard aspects of it, like usual.

* wg-quick: support dns search domains

If DNS= has a non-IP in it, it is now treated as a search domain in
resolv.conf.  This new feature will be rolling out across our various GUI
clients in the next week or so.

* Makefile: simplify silent cleaning
* ipc: remove extra space
* git: add gitattributes so tarball doesn't have gitignore files
* terminal: specialize color_mode to stdout only

Small cleanups.

* highlighter: insist on 256-bit keys, not 257-bit or 258-bit

The highlighter's key checker is now stricter with base64 validation.

* wg-quick: android: support application whitelist

Android users can now have an application whitelist instead of application
blacklist.

* systemd: add wg-quick.target

This enables all wg-quick at .services to be restarted or managed as a unit via
wg-quick.target.

* Makefile: remember to install all systemd units

Adrian Schmutzler be9eab9bca ramips: set WAN address in DTS for ASUS RT-AC51U/RT-AC54U
The location 0x28 in factory partition is the common one used for
ethernet address on this architecture. Despite, it contains the label
MAC address for the devices at hand.

Consequently, this patch moves 0x28 to the &ethernet node in DTS files
(setting the WAN MAC address there) and sets up the lan_mac from 0x22
in 02_network. As a benefit, this allows to use label-mac-device in
DTS instead of ucidef_set_label_macaddr.

Fabian Bläse 33b2078528 mt7621: Make ER-X-SFP factory image compatible with EP-R6
The version inside the compat file determines, if a firmware supports
a specific device. I have not yet fully understood, how this is checked,
but it only seems to indicate which devices are supported by a specific
version of the combined vendor firmware. Devices assume that subsequent
versions, starting with the version that initially added support for a
specific device, are always compatible.

The first compat version that added support for the EP-R6 was '21001:7',
but OpenWrt did use '21001:6' before. This is why the factory image could
not be flashed using the vendor software, but only using TFTP.

The compat version has been bumped by the vendor a few times, but more
devices have been added since (e.g. ER-10X). Because OpenWrt currently
only supports the ER-X, ER-X-SFP and EP-R6, the compat version is
incremented to the version that first supported the EP-R6, which is
'21001:7'.

This allows the factory image to be flashed on EP-R6 without TFTP.

Adrian Schmutzler 4a61a88f90 ath79: add support for TP-Link TL-WA901ND v4 and v5
This ports support for the TL-WA901ND v4 and v5 from ar71xx to ath79.
They are similar to the TP9343-based TL-WR940N v3/v4 and TL-WR941ND v6.

Specifications:
  SoC: TP9343
  Flash/RAM: 4/32 MiB
  CPU: 750 MHz
  WiFi: 2.4 GHz b/g/n
  Ethernet: 1 port (100M)

Flashing instructions:
  Upload the factory image via the vendor firmware upgrade option.

Flash instruction (TFTP):
  1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.0.66
  2. Download *-factory.bin image and rename it to * (see below)
  3. Start a tftp server with the image file in its root directory
  4. Turn off the router
  5. Press and hold Reset button
  6. Turn on router with the reset button pressed and wait ~15 seconds
  7. Release the reset button and after a short time
     the firmware should be transferred from the tftp server
  8. Wait ~30 second to complete recovery.

  * The image name for TFTP recovery is wa901ndv4_tp_recovery.bin for
  both variants.

In ar71xx, a MAC address with offset 1 was used for ethernet port.
That's probably wrong, but this commit sticks to it until we know
the correct value.

Like in ar71xx, this builds the default factory.bin with EU country
code.

Thanks to Leonardo Weiss for testing on the v5.

  - 6x Green leds (link lan1-lan4, link wan, wps)
  - 5x Orange leds (act lan1-lan4, act wan) (working but unmodifiable)

Everything works correctly.

Installation
------------
The “factory” openwrt image can be flashed directly from OEM stock
firmware. After the flash the router will reboot automatically.

However, due to the dual boot system, the first installation could fail
(if you want to know why, read the footnotes).
If the flash succeed and you can reach OpenWrt through the web
interface or ssh, you are done.
Otherwise the router will try to boot 3 times and then will
automatically boot the OEM firmware (don’t turn off the router.
Simply wait and try to reach the router through the web interface
every now and then, it will take few minutes).

After this, you should be back in the OEM firmware.

Now you have to flash the OEM Firmware over itself using the OEM web
interface (I tested it using the FW_EA7500v2_2.0.8.194281_prod.img
downloaded from the Linksys website).

When the router reboots flash the “factory” OpenWrt image and this
time it should work.

After the OpenWrt installation you have to use the sysupgrade image
for future updates.

Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
After the OpenWrt flash, the OEM firmware is still stored in the
second partition thanks to the dual boot system.
You can switch from OpenWrt to OEM firmware and vice-versa failing
the boot 3 times in a row:
 1) power on the router
 2) wait 15 seconds
 3) power off the router
 4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
 5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware

If you want to completely remove OpenWrt from your router, switch to
the OEM firmware and then flash OEM firmware from the web interface
as a normal update.
This procedure will overwrite the OpenWrt partition.

Footnotes
---------
The Linksys EA7500-v2 has a dual boot system to avoid bricks.
This system works using 2 pair of partitions:
 1) "kernel" and "rootfs"
 2) "alt_kernel" and "alt_rootfs".
After 3 failed boot attempts, the bootloader tries to boot the other
pair of partitions and so on.

This system is managed by the bootloader, which writes a bootcount in
the s_env partition, and if successfully booted, the system add a
"zero-bootcount" after the previous value.

A system update performed from OEM firmware, writes the firmware on the
other pair of partitions and sets the bootloader to boot the new pair
of partitions editing the “boot_part” variable in the bootloader vars.
Effectively it's a quick and safe system to switch the selected boot
partition.

Another way to switch the boot partition is:
 1) power on the router
 2) wait 15 seconds
 3) power off the router
 4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
 5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware

In this OpenWrt port, this dual boot system is partially working
because the bootloader sets the right rootfs partition in the cmdline
but unfortunately OpenWrt for ramips platform overwrites the cmdline
so is not possible to detect the right rootfs partition.

Because all of this, I preferred to simply use the first pair of
partitions and set read-only the other pair.

However this solution is not optimal because is not possible to know
without opening the case which is the current booted partition.
Let’s take for example a router booting the OEM firmware from the first
pair of partitions. If we flash the OpenWrt image, it will be written
on the second pair. In this situation the router will bootloop 3 times
and then will automatically come back to the first pair of partitions
containg the OEM firmware.
In this situation, to flash OpenWrt correctly is necessary to switch
the booting partition, flashing again the OEM firmware over itself.
At this point the OEM firmware is on both pair of partitions but the
current booted pair is the second one.
Now, flashing the OpenWrt factory image will write the firmware on
the first pair and then will boot correctly.

If this limitation in the ramips platform about the cmdline will be
fixed, the dual boot system can also be implemented in OpenWrt with
almost no effort.

Installation:

   Update using ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool:

1. Download the ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool but don't open it yet
2. Unplug your computer from the router
3. Put the router into Rescue Mode by: turning the power off, using a pin
   to press and hold the reset button, then turning the router back on while
   keeping the reset button pressed for ~5 secs until the power LED starts
   flashing slowly (which indicates the router has entered Rescue Mode)
4. Important (if you don't do this next step the Asus Firmware
   Restoration Tool will wrongly assume that the router is not in Rescue Mode
   and will refuse to flash it): go to the Windows Control Panel and
   temporarily disable ALL other network adapters except the one you will use
   to connect your computer to the router
5. For the single adapter you left enabled, temporarily give it the
   static IP 192.168.1.10 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
6. Connect a LAN cable between your computer (make sure to use the
   Ethernet port of the adapter you've just set up) and port 1 of the router
   (not the router's WAN port)
7. Rename sysupgrade.bin to factory.trx
8. Open the Asus Firmware Restoration Tool, locate factory.trx and click
   upload (if Windows shows a compatibility prompt, confirm that the tool worked fine)
9. Flashing and reboot is finished when the power LED stops blinking and
   stays on

MAC assignment based on vendor firmware:

2g    0x4	label
