The online documentation (e.g. http://ipxe.org/cmd/ifopen), though not
yet complete, is far more comprehensive than could be provided within
the iPXE binary. Save around 200 bytes (compressed) by removing the
command descriptions from the interactive help, and instead referring
users directly to the web page describing the relevant command.

The default initiator IQN is "iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN".
This is problematic for two reasons:
a) the etherboot.org domain (and hence the associated IQN namespace)
is not under the control of the iPXE project, and
b) some targets (correctly) refuse to allow concurrent connections
from different initiators using the same initiator IQN.
Solve both problems by changing the default initiator IQN to be
iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<hostname> if a hostname is set, or
iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<uuid> if no hostname is set.
Explicit initiator IQNs set via DHCP option 203 are not affected by
this change.
Unfortunately, this change is likely to break some existing
configurations, where ACL rules have been put in place referring to
the old default initiator IQN. Users may need to update ACLs, or
force the use of the old IQN using an iPXE script line such as
set initiator-iqn iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN
or a dhcpd.conf option such as
option iscsi-initiator-iqn "iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN"

Most callers of functions in the fetch_setting() family treat any
errors as meaning "non-existent setting". In the case of
fetch_string_setting_copy(), an existent setting can still result in
an error due to memory allocation failure.
Allow the caller to distinguish between a non-existent setting and an
error in allocating memory for the copy, by returning success (and a
NULL buffer pointer) for a non-existent setting.

For consistency with other functions in the fetch_setting() family,
ensure that fetch_string_setting_copy() always initialises the pointer
to the fetched setting even if fetching fails.

Currently, if both a filename and root-path are present, iPXE will
hook the SAN device but will only attempt to boot from the filename.
Change this behaviour so that both are attempted. Users who want to
avoid booting from the SAN as a fallback can do so via the existing
"skip-san-boot" setting.
This allows for seamless deployment to a SAN target using Windows
Deployment Services (and similar products). A user simply has to
define the root-path option in DHCP and then use WDS to deploy the
system. No further configuration should be required.

Allow the monojob controlling the download to complete before calling
register_image() and friends. This allows the trailing "ok" from
monojob.c to be printed before the image starts executing (and

We currently use INT 13,00 as an opportunity to reopen the underlying
block device, which works well for callers such as DOS that will use
INT 13,00 in response to any disk errors. However, some callers (such
as Windows Server 2008) do not attempt to reset the disk, and so any
failures become effectively permanent.
Fix this by automatically reopening the underlying block device
whenever we might want to access it.
This makes direct installation of Windows to an iSCSI target much more
reliable.

The "size" bit (aka the D/B) bit should (as far as I can tell) be
irrelevant for accesses to a non-code, non-stack, expand-upwards
segment. However, VirtualBox fails on some accesses via this segment
if this bit is not set.
This change allows iPXE to boot under VirtualBox without having to
disable VT-x/AMD-V support.

After a more accurate reading of RFC 3720, it becomes clear how NOPs
are supposed to work. The current implementation (which just ignores
NOP-Ins) is sufficient to cope with NOP-Ins sent to update CmdSN, but
will need to be extended before it can cope with NOP-Ins sent as iSCSI
keepalives.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Some iSCSI targets (observed with a Synology DS207+ NAS) send
unsolicited NOP-Ins to the initiator. RFC 3720 is remarkably unclear
and possibly self-contradictory on how NOPs are supposed to work, but
it seems as though we can legitimately just ignore any unsolicited
NOP-In PDU.

Some binutils versions will drag in an object to satisfy the entry
symbol; some won't. Try to cope with this exciting variety of

Commit 623469d ("[build] Eliminate unused sections at link-time")

Commit d7736fb ("[efi] Allow EFI to control PCI bus enumeration")

EFI performs its own PCI bus enumeration. Respect this, and start
controlling devices only when instructed to do so by EFI.
As a side benefit, we should now correctly create multiple SNP
instances for multi-port devices.
This should also fix the problem of failing to enumerate devices
because the PCI bridges have not yet been enabled at the time the iPXE
driver is loaded.

On 64-bit builds, MLX_DECLARE_STRUCT() produces a structure that is
always a multiple of 64 bits long, causing the HCR structure to be
over-length by one dword. This in turn causes hermon_cmd() to write
beyond the end of the HCR, which causes commands to fail.

Some BIOSes can report multiple memory regions which may be adjacent
and the same type. Since only the first region is used in the
mboot.c32 layer it's possible to run out of memory when loading all of
