PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK is designed to allow ipxelinux.0 to unload both
the iPXE and pxelinux components without affecting the underlying PXE
stack. Unfortunately, it causes unexpected behaviour in other
situations, such as when loading a non-embedded pxelinux.0 via
undionly.kpxe. For example:
PXE ROM -> undionly.kpxe -> pxelinux.0 -> chain.c32 to boot hd0
would cause control to return to iPXE instead of booting from the hard
disk. In some cases, this would result in a harmless but confusing
"No more network devices" message; in other cases stranger things
would happen, such as being returned to the iPXE shell prompt.
The fundamental problem is that when pxelinux detects
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK, it may attempt to specify an exit hook and then
exit back to iPXE, assuming that iPXE will in turn exit cleanly via
the specified exit hook. This is not a valid assumption in the
general case, since the action of exiting back to iPXE does not
directly cause iPXE to exit itself. (In the specific case of
ipxelinux.0, this will work since the embedded script exits as soon as
pxelinux.0 exits.)
Fix the unexpected behaviour in the non-ipxelinux.0 cases by including
support for PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only when using a new .kkkpxe format.
The ipxelinux.0 build process should therefore now use undionly.kkkpxe
instead of undionly.kkpxe.

Very nasty things can happen if a NULL network device is used. Check
that pxe_netdev is non-NULL at the applicable entry points, so that
this type of problem gets reported to the caller rather than being

On at least one PXE stack (Realtek r8169), PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE has
been observed to fail intermittently due to a media test failure (PXE
error 0x00000061). Retrying the call to PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE
succeeds, and the NIC is then usable.
It is worth noting that this particular Realtek PXE stack is already
known to be unreliable: for example, it repeatably fails its own
boot-time media test after every warm reboot.
Fix by attempting PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE multiple times, with a short
delay between each attempt to allow the link to settle.

Several BIOSes (including most IBM BIOSes and many virtual machine
BIOSes) do not provide detectable PnP support, but will use the BEV
entry point for a PnP option ROM. On these semi-PnP BIOSes, iPXE will
respond to the absence of detectable PnP support by hooking INT19,
which disrupts the boot order.
BIOSes that genuinely require hooking INT19 seem to be very rare
nowadays. It may therefore be preferable to assume that the absence
of detectable PnP support indicates a semi-PnP BIOS rather than a
non-PnP BIOS.
Change the default behaviour so that INT19 will never be hooked unless
the compile-time option NONPNP_HOOK_INT19 is enabled. Leave the
redundant PnP detection routine in-place to allow for debugging via
the ROM banner line.

Some IBM BIOSes provide partial support for PnP: they will use the BEV
entry point but will not advertise PnP support. This causes iPXE to
hook INT 19, which disrupts the boot process.
Attempt to improve this situation by detecting an IBM BIOS and
treating it as a PnP BIOS despite the absence of a PnP signature.

Some versions of binutils have curious concepts of what constitutes
subtraction. For example:
0x00000000000000f0 _text16_late = .
0x0000000000000898 _mtext16 = .
0x0000000000000898 _etext16 = .
0x0000000000000898 _text16_late_filesz = ABSOLUTE ((_mtext16 - _text16_late))
0x00000000000007a8 _text16_late_memsz = ABSOLUTE ((_etext16 - _text16_late))
This has interesting side-effects such as producing sizes for .bss
segments that are negative, causing the majority of addressable memory
to be zeroed out.
Fix by using the form
ABSOLUTE ( x ) - ABSOLUTE ( y )
rather than
ABSOLUTE ( x - y )

Some PXE stacks advertise that interrupts are not supported, despite
requiring the use of interrupts. Attempt to cope with such cards
without breaking others by always hooking the interrupt, and using the
"interrupts supported" flag only to decide whether or not to wait for
an interrupt before calling PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS.
The possible combinations are therefore:
1. Card generates interrupts and claims to support interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS only after an interrupt
has been observed. (This is required to avoid lockups in some PXE
stacks, which spuriously sulk if called before an interrupt has
been generated.)
Such a card should work correctly.
2. Card does not generate interrupts and does not claim to support
interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS indiscriminately, matching
the observed behaviour of at least one other PXE NBP (winBoot/i).
Such a card should work correctly.
3. Card generates interrupts but claims not to support interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS indiscriminately. An
interrupt will still result in a call to PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_START.
Such a card may work correctly.
4. Card does not generate interrupts but claims to support interrupts
Such a card will not work at all.

iPXE allocates its first PMM block using the image source length,
which is rounded up to the nearest 16-byte paragraph. It then copies
in data of a length calculated from the ROM size, which is
theoretically less than or equal to the image source length, but is
rounded up to the nearest 512-byte sector. This can result in copying
beyond the end of the allocated PMM block, which can corrupt the PMM
data structures (and other essentially arbitrary areas of memory).
Fix by rounding up the image source length to the nearest 512-byte
sector before using it as the PMM allocation length.

Some prefixes (e.g. .lkrn) allow a command line to be passed in to
iPXE. At present, this command line is ignored.
If a command line is provided, treat it as an embedded script (without
an explicit "#!ipxe" magic marker). This allows for patterns of
invocation such as
title iPXE
kernel /boot/ipxe.lkrn dhcp && \
sanboot iscsi:10.0.4.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage
Here GRUB is instructed to load ipxe.lkrn with an embedded script
equivalent to
#!ipxe
dhcp
sanboot iscsi:10.0.4.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage
This can be used to effectively vary the embedded script without
having to rebuild ipxe.lkrn.
