[libc] Allow out-of-range months in mktime()

POSIX specifies that the values of members of the broken-down time
structure are "not restricted to the ranges", and defines the way in
which out-of-range values are to be handled.

For most fields, the arithmetic is already purely linear and so
out-of-range values are handled automatically.  Out-of-range months
are an exception: these are used as array indices and so must be
normalised before use.

Restructure mktime() to make it more immediately visible when values
are being read from and written back to the broken-down time
structure, add the required normalisation for the month number, and
add test cases to cover out-of-range months.

iPXE network bootloader

Build Coverity Release

iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:

  • boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,

  • boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,

  • control the boot process with a script,

  • create interactive forms and menus.

You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.

iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).

You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.

For full documentation, visit the iPXE website.
