iPXE will detect timeout failures in several situations: network
link-up, DHCP, TCP connection attempts, unacknowledged TCP data, etc.
This does not cover all possible circumstances. For example, if a
connection to a web server is successfully established and the web
server acknowledges the HTTP request but never sends any data in
response, then no timeout will be triggered. There is no timeout
defined within the HTTP specifications, and the underlying TCP
connection will not generate a timeout since it has no way to know
that the HTTP layer is expecting to receive data from the server.
Add a "--timeout" parameter to "imgfetch", "chain", etc. If no
progress is made (i.e. no data is downloaded) within the timeout
period, then the download will be aborted.

Commit c429bf0 ("[romprefix] Store boot bus:dev.fn address as autoboot
device location") introduced a regression by using register %cx to
temporarily hold the PCI bus:dev.fn address, despite the fact that %cx
was already being used to hold the stored BIOS stack segment.
Consequently, when returning to the BIOS after a failed or cancelled
boot attempt, iPXE would end up calling INT 18 with the stack segment
set equal to the PCI bus:dev.fn address. Writing to essentially
random areas of memory tends to upset even the more robust BIOSes.
Fix by using register %ax to temporarily hold the PCI bus:dev.fn
address.

iPXE currently pads initrd images to a multiple of 4kB and inserts
zero padding between images, as required by some versions of the Linux
kernel. The overall length reported via the ramdisk_size field in the
bzImage header includes this zero padding.
This causes problems when using memdisk to load a gzip-compressed disk
image. memdisk treats the ramdisk_size field as containing the exact
length of the initrd image, and uses this length to locate the 8-byte
gzip footer. This will generally cause memdisk to fail to decompress
the disk image.
Fix by reporting the exact length of the initrd image set, including
any padding inserted between images but excluding any padding added at
the end of the final image.

qemu can load an option ROM which is not associated with a particular
PCI device using the "-option-rom" syntax. Under these circumstances,
we should ignore the PCI bus:dev.fn address that we expect to find in
%ax on entry to the initialisation vector.
Fix by using the PCI bus:dev.fn address only if it is non-zero. Since
00:00.0 will always be the host bridge, it can never be the address of
a network card.

Per the BIOS Boot Specification, the initialization phase of the ROM
is called with the PFA (PCI Function Address) in the %ax register.
The intention is that the ROM code will store that device address
somewhere and use it for booting from that device when the Boot Entry
Vector (BEV) is called. iPXE does store the PFA, but doesn't use it
to select the boot network device. This renders BIOS IPL lists fairly
ineffective.
Fix by using the BBS-specified bus:dev.fn address as the autoboot
device location.

iPXE currently prints a "Press Ctrl-B" banner twice: once when the ROM
is first called for initialisation and again if we attempt to boot
from the ROM. This slows boot, especially when the NIC is not the
primary boot device. Tools such as libguestfs make use of QEMU VMs
for performing maintenance on disk images and may make use of NICs in
the VM for network support. If iPXE introduces a static init-time
delay, that directly translates to increased runtime for the tools.
Fix by allowing the ROM banner timeout to be configured independently
of the main banner timeout.

Add support for parsing of URIs containing literal IPv6 addresses
(e.g. "http://[fe80::69ff:fe50:5845%25net0]/boot.ipxe").
Duplicate URIs by directly copying the relevant fields, rather than by
formatting and reparsing a URI string. This relaxes the requirements
on the URI formatting code and allows it to focus on generating
human-readable URIs (e.g. by not escaping ':' characters within
literal IPv6 addresses). As a side-effect, this allows relative URIs
containing parameter lists (e.g. "../boot.php##params") to function
as expected.
Add validity check for FTP paths to ensure that only printable

Allow for an arbitrary margin to be specified in the console

The vgabios used by bochs and qemu (and other virtualisation products)
has a bug in its implementation of INT 10,4f00 which causes the high
16 bits of %ebx and %edx to become corrupted.
The vgabios code uses a "pushaw"/"popaw" pair to preserve the low 16
bits of all non-segment registers. The vgabios code is compiled using
bcc, which generates 8086-compatible code and so never touches the
high 16 bits of the 32-bit registers. However, the function
vbe_biosfn_return_controller_information() includes the line:
size_64k = (Bit16u)((Bit32u)cur_info->info.XResolution *
cur_info->info.XResolution *
cur_info->info.BitsPerPixel) >> 19;
which generates an implicit call to the "lmulul" function. This
function is implemented in vbe.c as:
; helper function for memory size calculation
lmulul:
and eax, #0x0000FFFF
shl ebx, #16
or eax, ebx
SEG SS
mul eax, dword ptr [di]
mov ebx, eax
shr ebx, #16
ret
which modifies %eax, %ebx, and %edx (as a result of the "mul"
instruction, which places its result into %edx:%eax).
Work around this problem by marking %ebx and %edx as being clobbered
by the call to INT 10,4f00. (%eax is already used as an output
register, so does not need to be on the clobber list.)

There is no requirement for VBE modes to be listed in increasing order
of resolution. With the present logic, this can cause e.g. a 1024x768
mode to be selected if the user asks for 640x480, if the 1024x768 mode
is earlier in the mode list.
Define a scoring system for modes as
score = ( width * height - bpp )
and choose the mode with the lowest score among all acceptable modes.
This should prefer to choose the mode closest to the requested

The retrieval of the cached DHCPACK and the creation of network

therefore possible that the cached DHCPACK will not be retrieved in

Allow CPUID values to be read using the syntax
${cpuid/<register>.<function>}
For example, ${cpuid/2.0x80000001} will give the value of %ecx after
calling CPUID with %eax=0x80000001. Values for <register> are encoded
as %eax=0, %ebx=1, %ecx=2, %edx=3.
The numeric encoding is more sophisticated than described above,
allowing for settings such as the CPU model (obtained by calling CPUID
with %eax=0x80000002-0x80000004 inclusive and concatenating the values
returned in %eax:%ebx:%ecx:%edx). See the source code for details.
The "cpuvendor" and "cpumodel" settings provide easy access to these
more complex CPUID settings.
This functionality is intended to complement the "cpuid" command,
which allows for testing individual CPUID feature bits.

Our use of --gc-sections causes the linker to discard the symbols
defined by FILE_LICENCE(), meaning that the resulting licence
determination is incomplete.
We must use the KEEP() directive in the linker script to force the
linker to not discard the licence symbols. Using KEEP(*(COMMON))
would be undesirable, since there are some symbols in COMMON which we
may wish to discard.
Fix by placing symbols defined by PROVIDE_SYMBOL() (which is used by
FILE_LICENCE()) into a special ".provided" section, which we then mark
with KEEP(). All such symbols are zero-length, so there is no cost in
terms of the final binary size.
Since the symbols are no longer in COMMON, the linker will reject
symbols with the same name coming from multiple objects. We therefore
append the object name to the licence symbol, to ensure that it is
unique.

gcc 4.8 and 4.9 fail to compile pxe_call.c with the error "bp cannot
be used in asm here". Other points in the codebase which use "ebp" in
the asm clobber list do not seem to be affected.
Unfortunately gcc provides no way to specify %ebp as an output
register, so we cannot use this as a workaround. The only viable
solution is to explicitly push/pop %ebp within the asm itself. This
is ugly for two reasons: firstly, it may be unnecessary; secondly, it
may cause gcc to generate invalid %esp-relative addresses if the asm
happens to use memory operands. This specific block of asm uses no
memory operands and so will not generate invalid code.

Some versions of Linux apparently complain if initrds are not aligned
to a page boundary. Fix by changing INITRD_ALIGN from 4 bytes to 4096
bytes.
The amount of padding at the end of each initrd will now often be
sufficient to allow the cpio header to be prepended without crossing
an alignment boundary. The final location of the initrd may therefore
end up being slightly higher than the post-shuffle location.
bzimage_load_initrd() must therefore now copy the initrd body prior to
copying the cpio header, otherwise the start of the initrd body may be
overwritten by the cpio header. (Note that the guarantee that an
initrd will never need to overwrite an initrd at a higher location
still holds, since the overall length of each initrd cannot decrease
as a result of adding a cpio header.)
