This interface provides access to firmware settings (e.g. MAC address)
that will apply to all drivers loaded for the duration of the current
system boot.
A hardware bug means that reads through the expansion ROM BAR can
return corrupted data if the PEGs are running. This breaks platforms
that re-read the expansion ROM after invoking gPXE code, such as IBM
blade servers.
Halt PEGs during driver shutdown, and unhalt PEGs during driver
startup if we detect that this is not the first startup since
power-on.
A DOS-style full path name such as "C:\Program Files\tftpboot\nbp.0"
satisfies the syntax requirements for a URI with a scheme of "C" and
an opaque portion of "\Program Files\tftpboot\nbp.0".
Add a check in parse_uri() to ignore schemes that are apparently only
a single character long; this avoids interpreting DOS-style paths in
this way, and shouldn't affect any practical URI scheme.
Most other Phantom drivers define a register space in terms of a 64M
virtual address space. While this doesn't map in any meaningful way
to the actual addresses used on the latest cards, it makes maintenance
easier if we do the same.
Someone at Dell must have a full-time job designing ways to screw up
implementations of INT 15,e820. This latest gem is courtesy of a Dell
Xanadu system, which arbitrarily decides to obliterate the contents of
%esi.
Preserve %esi, %edi and %ebp across calls to INT 15,e820, in case
someone tries a variation on this trick in future.
Callers (e.g. usr/autoboot.c) may not check the return values from
fetch_xxx_setting(), assuming that in error cases the returned setting
value will be "empty" (for some sensible value of "empty").
In particular, if the DHCP server did not specify a next-server
address, this would result in gPXE using uninitialised data for the
TFTP server IP address.
FreeBSD requires the object format to be specified as elf_i386_fbsd,
rather than elf_i386.
Based on a patch from Eygene Ryabinkin <rea-fbsd@codelabs.ru>
Some PCI 3 BIOSes seem to provide a garbage value in %bx, which should
contain the runtime segment address. Perform a basic sanity check: we
reject the segment if it is below the start of option ROM space. If
the sanity check fails, we assume that the BIOS was not expecting us
to be a PCI 3 ROM, and we just leave our image in situ.
The section name seems to have significance for some versions of
binutils.
There is no way to instruct gcc that sections such as .bss16 contain
uninitialised data; it will emit them with contents explicitly set to
zero. We therefore have to rely on the linker script to force these
sections to become uninitialised-data sections. We do this by marking
them as NOLOAD; this seems to be the closest semantic equivalent in the
linker script language.
However, this gets ignored by some versions of ld (including 2.17 as
shipped with Debian Etch), which mark the resulting sections with
(CONTENTS,ALLOC,LOAD,DATA). Combined with the fact that this version of
ld seems to ignore the specified LMA for these sections, this means that
they end up overlapping other sections, and so parts of .prefix (for
example) get obliterated by .data16's bss section.
Rename the .bss sections from .section_bss to .bss.section; this seems to
cause these versions of ld to treat them as uninitialised data.
Not fully understood, but it seems that the LMA of bss sections matters
for some newer binutils builds. Force all bss sections to have an LMA
at the end of the file, so that they don't interfere with other
sections.
The symptom was that objcopy -O binary -j .zinfo would extract the
.zinfo section from bin/xxx.tmp as a blob of the correct length, but
with zero contents. This would then cause the [ZBIN] stage of the
build to fail.
Also explicitly state that .zinfo(.*) sections have @progbits, in case
some future assembler or linker variant decides to omit them.
The virtnet_transmit() logic for waiting the packet to be transmitted is
reversed: we can't wait the packet to be transmitted if we didn't kick()
the ring yet. The vring_more_used() while loop logic is reversed also,
that explains why the code works today.
The current code risks trying to free a buffer from the used ring
when none was available, that will happen most times because KVM
doesn't handle the packet immediately on kick(). Luckily it was working
because it was unlikely to have a buffer still queued for transmit when
virtnet_transmit() was called.
Also, adds a BUG_ON() to vring_get_buf(), to catch cases where we try
to free a buffer from the used ring when there was none available.
Patch for Etherboot. gPXE has the same problem on the code, but I hadn't
a chance to test gPXE using virtio-net yet.

EFI requires us to be able to specify the source address for
individual transmitted packets, and to be able to extract the
destination address on received packets.
Take advantage of this to rationalise the push() and pull() methods so
that push() takes a (dest,source,proto) tuple and pull() returns a
(dest,source,proto) tuple.
Multicast hashing is an ugly overlap between network and link layers.
EFI requires us to provide access to this functionality, so move it
out of ipv4.c and expose it as a method of the link layer.
Some versions of ld choke on the "AT ( _xxx_lma )" in efi.lds with an
error saying "nonconstant expression for load base". Since these were
only explicitly setting the LMA to the address that it would have had
anyway, they can be safely omitted.
We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.
EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
monojob_wait() was holding a reference to the completed job, meaning that
various objects would not be freed until the next job was plugged in to
the monojob interface.
The userptr_t is now the fundamental type that gets used for conversions.
For example, virt_to_phys() is implemented in terms of virt_to_user() and
user_to_phys().
-Wformat-nonliteral is not enabled by -Wall and needs to be explicitly
specified.
Modified the few files that use nonliteral format strings to work with
this new setting in place.
Inspired by a patch from Carl Karsten <carl@personnelware.com> and an
identical patch from Rorschach <r0rschach@lavabit.com>.
The intention is to include near-verbatim copies of the EFI headers
required by gPXE. This is achieved using the import.pl script in
src/include/gpxe/efi.
Note that import.pl will modify any #include lines in each imported
header to reflect its new location within the gPXE tree. It will also
tidy up the file by removing carriage return characters and trailing
whitespace.
Reduce the number of sections within the linker script to match the
number of practical sections within the output file.
Define _section, _msection, _esection, _section_filesz, _section_memsz,
and _section_lma for each section, replacing the mixture of symbols that
previously existed.
In particular, replace _text and _end with _textdata and _etextdata, to
make it explicit within code that uses these symbols that the .text and
.data sections are always treated as a single contiguous block.
Allow for the build CPU architecture and platform to be specified as part
of the make command goals. For example:
make bin/rtl8139.rom # Standard i386 PC-BIOS build
make bin-efi/rtl8139.efi # i386 EFI build
The generic syntax is "bin[-[arch-]platform]", with the default
architecture being "i386" (regardless of the host architecture) and the
default platform being "pcbios".
Non-path targets such as "srcs" can be specified using e.g.
make bin-efi srcs
Note that this changeset is merely Makefile restructuring to allow the
build architecture and platform to be determined by the make command
goals, and to export these to compiled code via the ARCH and PLATFORM
defines. It doesn't actually introduce any new build platforms.
Some devices (e.g. the Atmel AT24C11) have no concept of a device
address; they respond to every device address and use this value as
the word address. Some other devices use part of the device address
field to extend the word address field.
Generalise the i2c bit-bashing support to handle this by defining the
device address length and word address length as properties of an i2c
device. The word address is assumed to overflow into the device
address field if the address used exceeds the width of the word
address field.
Also add a bus reset mechanism. i2c chips don't usually have a reset
line, so rebooting the host will not clear any bizarre state that the
chip may be in. We reset the bus by clocking SCL until we see SDA
high, at which point we know we can generate a start condition and
have it seen by all devices. We then generate a stop condition to
leave the bus in a known state prior to use.
Finally, add some extra debugging messages to i2c_bit.c.
Some older versions of gcc don't complain about unknown compiler flags
unless you ask them to actually compile; asking them to merely
preprocess won't trigger the error.
Fix the -fno-stack-protector test by making it attempt to compile an
empty file, rather than preprocess an empty file.
The usefulness of DBGLVL_IO is limited by the fact that many cards
require large numbers of uninteresting I/O reads/writes at device
probe time, typically when driving a bit-bashing I2C/SPI bus to read
the MAC address.
This patch adds the DBG_DISABLE() and DBG_ENABLE() macros, which can
be used to temporarily disable and re-enable selected debug levels.
Note that debug levels must still be enabled in the build in order to
function at all: you can't use DBG_ENABLE(DBGLVL_IO) in an object
built with DEBUG=object:1 and expect it to do anything.
?= in a Makefile means that that variable can be overridden by the
environment. This is confusing to users, especially with a generic
name like "ARCH".

Although the E820 API allows for a caller to provide only a 20-byte
buffer, there exists at least one combination (HP BIOS, 32-bit WinPE)
that relies on information found only in the "extended attributes"
field, which requires a 24-byte buffer.
Allow for up to a 64-byte E820 buffer, in the hope of coping with
future idiocies like this one.
The ACPI specification defines an additional 4-byte field at offset 20
for an E820 memory map entry. This field is presumably optional,
since generally E820 gets given only a 20-byte buffer to fill.
However, the bits of this optional field are defined as:
bit 0 : region is enabled
bit 1 : region is non-volatile memory rather than RAM
so it seems as though callers that pass in only a 20-byte buffer may
be missing out on some rather important information.
Our INT 15,e820 code was setting %es=%ss (as part of the "look ahead
in the memory map" logic), but failing to restore %es afterwards.
This is a serious bug, but wasn't affecting many platforms because
almost all callers seem to set %es=%ss anyway.
Use individual page mappings rather than a single whole-region
mapping, to avoid the waste of memory that occurs due to the
constraint that each mapped block must be aligned on its own size.
Some BIOSes require us to pass in not only the continuation value (in
%ebx) as returned by the previous call to INT 15,e820 but also the
unmodified buffer (at %es:%di) as returned by the previous call to INT
15,e820. Apparently, someone thought it would be a worthwhile
optimisation to fill in only the low dword of the "length" field and
the low byte of the "type field", assuming that the buffer would
remain unaltered from the previous call.
This problem was being triggered by the "peek ahead" logic in
get_mangled_e820(), which would read the next entry into a temporary
buffer in order to be able to guarantee terminating the map with
%ebx=0 rather than CF=1. (Terminating with CF=1 upsets some Windows
flavours, despite being documented legal behaviour.)
Work around this problem by always fetching directly into our e820
cache; that way we can guarantee that the underlying call always sees
the previous buffer contents (and the same buffer address).
We were accidentally allocating only half the required amount of
memory (given the alignment method) for the firmware buffer, leading
to conflicts between the firmware buffer and gPXE code/data segments.

We seem to be having issues with various E820 memory maps. These
problems are often difficult to reproduce, requiring access to the
specific system exhibiting the problem.
Add a facility for hooking in a fake E820 map generator, using an
arbitrary map defined in a C array, solely in order to be able to test
the map-mangling code against arbitrary E820 maps.
In particular, allow BANNER_TIMEOUT=0 to inhibit the prompt banners
altogether.
Ironically, this request comes from the same OEM that originally
required the prompts to be present during POST.
Some really moronic BIOSes bring up the PXE stack via the UNDI loader
entry point during POST, and then don't bother to unload it before
overwriting the code and data segments. If this happens, we really
don't want to leave INT 15 hooked, because that will cause any loaded
OS to die horribly as soon as it attempts to fetch the system memory
map.
We use a heuristic to detect whether or not we are being loaded at the
top of free base memory. If we determine that we are being loaded at
some other arbitrary location in base memory, then we assume that it's
not safe to hook INT 15.
This allows settings to be expanded in a way that is safe to include
within a URI string, such as
kernel http://10.0.0.1/boot.php?mf=${manufacturer:uristring}
where the ${manufacturer} setting may contain characters that are not
permitted (or have reserved purposes) within a URI.
Since whitespace characters will be URI-encoded (e.g. "%20" for a
space character), this also works around the problem that spaces
within an expanded setting would cause the shell to split command-line
arguments incorrectly.
On non-BBS systems we hook INT 19, since there is no other way we can
guarantee gaining control of the flow of execution. If we end up
doing this, prompt the user before attempting boot, since forcibly
capturing INT 19 is rather antisocial.
It is possible for the BIOS to use the UNDI API to bring up the NIC
prior to system boot. If this happens, UNM_NIC_REG_CMDPEG_STATE will
contain the value 0xf00f (UNM_NIC_REG_CMDPEG_STATE_INITIALIZE_ACK),
and we should skip initialising the command PEG.
The firmware will now determine the right port mode on all cards, so
the PXE driver doesn't have to set it. (Setting the port mode
apparently breaks some newer cards.)
