Some older operating systems (e.g. RHEL6) use a non-default filename
on the root disk and rely on setting an EFI variable to point to the
bootloader. This does not work when performing a SAN boot on a
machine where the EFI variable is not present.
Fix by allowing a non-default filename to be specified via the
"sanboot --filename" option or the "san-filename" setting. For
example:
sanboot --filename \efi\redhat\grub.efi \
iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6
or
option ipxe.san-filename code 188 = string;
option ipxe.san-filename "\\efi\\redhat\\grub.efi";
option root-path "iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6";

Allow the SAN retry count to be configured via the ${san-retry}
setting, defaulting to the current value of 10 retries if not
specified.
Note that setting a retry count of zero is inadvisable, since iSCSI
targets in particular will often report spurious errors such as "power
on occurred" for the first few commands.

Provide a settings applicator to modify netdev->max_pkt_len in
response to changes to the "mtu" setting (DHCP option 26).
Note that as with MAC address changes, drivers are permitted to
completely ignore any changes in the MTU value. The net result will
be that iPXE effectively uses the smaller of either the hardware
default MTU or the software configured MTU.

The vendor class identifier strings in DHCP_ARCH_VENDOR_CLASS_ID are
out of sync with the (correct) client architecture values in
DHCP_ARCH_CLIENT_ARCHITECTURE.
Fix by removing all definitions of DHCP_ARCH_VENDOR_CLASS_ID, and
instead generating the vendor class identifier string automatically
based on DHCP_ARCH_CLIENT_ARCHITECTURE and DHCP_ARCH_CLIENT_NDI.

There has been a longstanding disagreement between RFC4578 and the
IANA "Processor Architecture Types" registry. RFC4578 section 2.1
defines type 7 as "EFI BC" and type 9 as "EFI x86-64"; the IANA
registry quotes RFC4578 as its source but has these values erroneously
swapped. The EDK2 codebase uses the IANA values.
As of March 2016, RFC4578 has been modified by an errata to match the
values as recorded in the IANA registry.
Fix our definitions to match the consensus values.

The DHCP option 175.189 has been defined (by us) since 2006 as
containing the drive number to be used for a SAN boot, but has never
been automatically used as such by iPXE.
Use this option (if specified) to override the default SAN drive
number.

These files cannot be automatically relicensed by util/relicense.pl

the addition of __nonnull function attributes), or contain lines
dating back to the initial git revision (and so require manual

iPXE uses DHCP timeouts loosely based on values recommended by the
specification, but often abbreviated to reduce timeouts for reliable
and/or simple network topologies. Extract the DHCP timing parameters
to config/dhcp.h and document them. The resulting default iPXE
behavior is exactly the same, but downstreams are now afforded the
opportunity to implement spec-compliant behavior via config file
overrides.

When chainloading, always retrieve the cached DHCPACK packet from the
underlying PXE stack, and apply it as the original contents of the
"net<X>.dhcp" settings block. This allows cached DHCP settings to be
used for any chainloaded iPXE binary (not just undionly.kkpxe).
This change eliminates the undocumented "use-cached" setting. Issuing
the "dhcp" command will now always result in a fresh DHCP request.

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.

Changing the trusted root certificate currently requires a rebuild of
the iPXE binary, which may be inconvenient or impractical.
Allow the list of trusted root certificate fingerprints to be
overridden using the "trust" setting, but only at the point of iPXE
initialisation. This prevents untrusted sources of settings
(e.g. DHCP) from subverting the chain of trust, while allowing
trustworthy sources to change the trusted root certificate without
requiring a rebuild.
The basic idea is that if you are able to manipulate a trustworthy
source of settings (e.g. VMware GuestInfo or non-volatile stored
options), then you would be able to replace the iPXE binary anyway,
and so no security is lost by allowing such sources to override the
list of trusted root certificates.

A scriptlet is a single iPXE command that can be stored in
non-volatile option storage and used to override the default
"autoboot" behaviour without having to reflash the iPXE image.
For example, a scriptlet could contain
autoboot || reboot
to instruct iPXE to reboot the system if booting fails.
Unlike an embedded image, the presence of a scriptlet does not inhibit
the initial "Press Ctrl-B..." prompt. This allows the user to recover
from setting a faulty scriptlet.

For IPoIB, we currently use the hardware address (i.e. the eight-byte
GUID) as the DHCP chaddr. This works, but some PXE servers (notably
Altiris RDP) refuse to respond if the chaddr field is anything other
than six bytes in length.
We already have the notion of an Ethernet-compatible link-layer
address, which is used in the iBFT (the design of which similarly
fails to account for non-Ethernet link layers). Use this as the first
preferred alternative to the actual link-layer address when
constructing the DHCP chaddr field.

For some install-to-SAN scenarios, the OS needs to be able to reboot
to reread the partition table. On this second boot attempt, the SAN
disk will not be empty and so iPXE will attempt to boot from it,
rather than falling back to the OS' installation media.
Work around this problem by introducing the "skip-san-boot" option,
similar in spirit to "keep-san".

This removes the need for inline safety wrappers, marginally reducing
the size penalty of weak functions, and works around an apparent
binutils bug that causes undefined weak symbols to not actually be
NULL when compiling with -fPIE (as EFI builds do).
A bug in versions of binutils prior to 2.16 (released in 2005) will
cause same-file weak definitions to not work with those
toolchains. Update the README to reflect our new dependency on
binutils >= 2.16.
