Michael Brown fcdfe81764 [int13] Do not zero %edx when jumping to a boot sector
Commit 73eb3f1 ("[int13] Zero all possible registers when jumping to a
boot sector") introduced a regression preventing the SAN-booting of
boot sectors which rely upon %dl containing the correct drive number
(such as most CD-ROM boot sectors).

Fix by not zeroing %edx.

Michael Brown 73eb3f17db [int13] Zero all possible registers when jumping to a boot sector
At least one boot sector (the DUET boot sector used for bootstrapping
EFI from a non-EFI system) fails to initialise the high words of
registers before using them in calculations, leading to undefined
behaviour.

Work around such broken boot sectors by explicitly zeroing the
contents of all registers apart from %cs:%ip and %ss:%sp.

Michael Brown 03f0c23f8b [ipoib] Expose Ethernet-compatible eIPoIB link-layer addresses and headers
Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers.  Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire.  This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.

This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

Michael Brown d0bd383463 [comboot] Accept only ".cbt" as an extension for COMBOOT images
COMBOOT images are detected by looking for a ".com" or ".cbt" filename
extension.  There are widely-used files with a ".com" extension, such
as "wdsnbp.com", which are PXE images rather than COMBOOT images.

Avoid false detection of PXE images as COMBOOT images by accepting
only a ".cbt" extension as indicating a COMBOOT image.

Interestingly, this bug has been present for a long time but was
frequently concealed because the filename was truncated to fit the
fixed-length "name" field in struct image.  (PXE binaries ending in
".com" tend to be related to Windows deployment products and so often
use pathnames including backslashes, which iPXE doesn't recognise as a
path separator and so treats as part of a very long filename.)

Commit 1c127a6 ("[image] Simplify image management commands and
internal API") made the image name a variable-length field, and so
exposed this flaw in the COMBOOT image detection algorithm.

Michael Brown 1f88e9c8ea [romprefix] Round up PMM allocation sizes to nearest 4kB
Some AMI BIOSes apparently break in exciting ways when asked for PMM
allocations for sizes that are not multiples of 4kB.

Fix by rounding up the image source area to the nearest 4kB.  (The
temporary decompression area is already rounded up to the nearest
128kB, to facilitate sharing between multiple iPXE ROMs.)

Michael Brown 5de45cd3da [romprefix] Report a pessimistic runtime size estimate
PCI3.0 allows us to report a "runtime size" which can be smaller than
the actual ROM size.  On systems that support PMM our runtime size
will be small (~2.5kB), which helps to conserve the limited option ROM
space.  However, there is no guarantee that the PMM allocation will
succeed, and so we need to report the worst-case runtime size in the
PCI header.

Move the "shrunk ROM size" field from the PCI header to a new "iPXE
ROM header", allowing it to be accessed by ROM-manipulation utilities
such as disrom.pl.

Michael Brown 9e5152e095 [pxeprefix] Place temporary stack after iPXE binary
Some BIOSes (observed on a Supermicro system with an AMI BIOS) seem to
use the area immediately below 0x7c00 to store data related to the
boot process.  This data is currently liable to be overwritten by the
temporary stack used while decompressing and installing iPXE.

Try to avoid any such problems by placing the temporary stack
immediately after the loaded iPXE binary.  Any memory used by the
stack could then potentially have been overwritten anyway by a larger
binary.

Michael Brown 2c72ce04ae [bzimage] Update setup_move_size only for protocol versions 2.00 and 2.01
The setup_move_size field is not defined in protocol versions earlier
than 2.00 (and is obsolete in versions later than 2.01).  In binaries
using versions earlier than 2.00, the relevant location is likely to
contain executable code.

Interestingly, this bug has been present since support for pre-2.00
protocol versions was added in 2009, and has been unexpectedly
modifying the memtest86+ code fragment:

	mov	$0x92, %dx
	inb	%dx, %al

Fortuitously, the modification exactly overwrote the value loaded into
%dx, and so the net effect was limited to causing Fast Gate A20
detection to always fail.

to be corrupted before it can be used.

Fix by creating a copy of the command line on the prefix stack (below
0x7c00) before installing the real-mode segments.

Michael Brown 9a93db3f09 [pxe] Provide PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only for ipxelinux.0 builds
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.

Michael Brown fa3ca017ac [undi] Retry PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE multiple times
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.

Michael Brown fcd55f7500 [romprefix] Do not fall back to hooking INT19 by default
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.

Michael Brown 987b825b7f [build] Fix building on mildly deranged versions of binutils
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 )

Michael Brown b6ca3aa01f [undi] Cope with devices that erroneously claim not to use interrupts
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.
