Commit 196f0f2 ("[librm] Convert prot_call() to a real-mode near
call") introduced a regression in which any deliberate modification to
the low 16 bits of the CPU flags (in struct i386_all_regs) would be
overwritten with the original flags value at the time of entry to
prot_call().
The regression arose because the alignment requirements of the
protected-mode stack necessitated the insertion of two bytes of
padding immediately below the prot_call() return address. The
solution chosen was to extend the existing "pushfl / popfl" pair to
"pushfw;pushfl / popfl;popfw". The extra "pushfw / popfw" appears at
first glance to be a no-op, but fails to take into account the fact
that the flags restored by popfl may have been deliberately modified
by the protected-mode function.
Fix by replacing "pushfw / popfw" with "pushw %ss / popw %ss". While
%ss does appear within struct i386_all_regs, any modification to the
stored value has always been ignored by prot_call() anyway.
The most visible symptom of this regression was that SAN booting would
fail since every INT 13 call would be chained to the original INT 13
vector.

When running the 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE, restrict external memory
allocations to the low 4GB to ensure that allocations (such as for
initrds) fall within our identity-mapped memory region, and will be
accessible to the potentially 32-bit operating system.
Move largest_memblock() back to memtop_umalloc.c, since this change

Add support for running the BIOS version of iPXE in 64-bit long mode.
A 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE can be built using e.g.
make bin-x86_64-pcbios/ipxe.usb
make bin-x86_64-pcbios/8086100e.mrom
The 64-bit BIOS version should appear to function identically to the
normal 32-bit BIOS version. The physical memory layout is unaltered:
iPXE is still relocated to the top of the available 32-bit address
space. The code is linked to a virtual address of 0xffffffffeb000000
(in the negative 2GB as required by -mcmodel=kernel), with 4kB pages
created to cover the whole of .textdata. 2MB pages are created to
cover the whole of the 32-bit address space.
The 32-bit portions of the code run with VIRTUAL_CS and VIRTUAL_DS
configured such that truncating a 64-bit virtual address gives a
32-bit virtual address pointing to the same physical location.
The stack pointer remains as a physical address when running in long
mode (although the .stack section is accessible via the negative 2GB
virtual address); this is done in order to simplify the handling of
interrupts occurring while executing a portion of 32-bit code with
flat physical addressing via PHYS_CODE().
Interrupts may be enabled in either 64-bit long mode, 32-bit protected
mode with virtual addresses, 32-bit protected mode with physical
addresses, or 16-bit real mode. Interrupts occurring in any mode
other than real mode will be reflected down to real mode and handled
by whichever ISR is hooked into the BIOS interrupt vector table.

In a 64-bit build, the entirety of the 32-bit address space is
identity-mapped and so any valid physical address may immediately be
used as a virtual address. Conversely, a virtual address that is
already within the 32-bit address space may immediately be used as a
physical address.
A valid virtual address that lies outside the 32-bit address space
must be an address within .textdata, and so can be converted to a
physical address by adding virt_offset.

Add a phys_call() wrapper function (analogous to the existing
real_call() wrapper function) for calling code with flat physical
addressing, and use this wrapper within the PHYS_CODE() macro.
Move the relevant functionality inside librm.S, where it more
naturally belongs.
The COMBOOT code currently uses explicit calls to _virt_to_phys and
_phys_to_virt. These will need to be rewritten if our COMBOOT support
is ever generalised to be able to run in a 64-bit build.
Specifically:
- com32_exec_loop() should be restructured to use PHYS_CODE()
- com32_wrapper.S should be restructured to use an equivalent of
prot_call(), passing parameters via a struct i386_all_regs
- there appears to be no need for com32_wrapper.S to switch between
external and internal stacks; this could be omitted to simplify
the design.
For now, librm.S continues to expose _virt_to_phys and _phys_to_virt
for use by com32.c and com32_wrapper.S. Similarly, librm.S continues
to expose _intr_to_virt for use by gdbidt.S.

The bulk of the iPXE binary (the .textdata section) is physically
relocated at runtime to the top of the 32-bit address space in order
to allow space for an OS to be loaded. The relocation is achieved
with the assistance of segmentation: we adjust the code and data
segment bases so that the link-time addresses remain valid.
Segmentation is not available (for normal code and data segments) in
long mode. We choose to compile the C code with -mcmodel=kernel and
use a link-time address of 0xffffffffeb000000. This choice allows us
to identity-map the entirety of the 32-bit address space, and to alias
our chosen link-time address to the physical location of our .textdata
section. (This requires the .textdata section to always be aligned to
a page boundary.)
We simultaneously choose to set the 32-bit virtual address segment
bases such that the link-time addresses may simply be truncated to 32
bits in order to generate a valid 32-bit virtual address. This allows
symbols in .textdata to be trivially accessed by both 32-bit and
64-bit code.
There is no (sensible) way in 32-bit assembly code to generate the
required R_X86_64_32S relocation records for these truncated symbols.
However, subtracting the fixed constant 0xffffffff00000000 has the
same effect as truncation, and can be represented in a standard
R_X86_64_32 relocation record. We define the VIRTUAL() macro to
abstract away this truncation operation, and apply it to all
references by 32-bit (or 16-bit) assembly code to any symbols within
the .textdata section.
We define "virt_offset" for a 64-bit build as "the value to be added
to an address within .textdata in order to obtain its physical
address". With this definition, the low 32 bits of "virt_offset" can
be treated by 32-bit code as functionally equivalent to "virt_offset"
in a 32-bit build.
We define "text16" and "data16" for a 64-bit build as the physical
addresses of the .text16 and .data16 sections. Since a physical
address within the 32-bit address space may be used directly as a
64-bit virtual address (thanks to the identity map), this definition
provides the most natural access to variables in .text16 and .data16.
Note that this requires a minor adjustment in prot_to_real(), which
accesses .text16 using 32-bit virtual addresses.

Long-mode operation will require page tables, which are too large to

initialise the .textdata variables "virt_offset", "text16", and

performed on every mode transition as part of real_to_prot().

On a 64-bit CPU, any modification of a register by 32-bit or 16-bit
code will destroy the invisible upper 32 bits of the corresponding
64-bit register. For example: a 32-bit "pushl %eax" followed by a
"popl %eax" will zero the upper half of %rax. This differs from the
treatment of upper halves of 32-bit registers by 16-bit code: a
"pushw %ax" followed by a "popw %ax" will leave the upper 16 bits of
%eax unmodified.
Inline assembly generated using REAL_CODE() or PHYS_CODE() will
therefore have to preserve the upper halves of all registers, to avoid
clobbering registers that gcc expects to be preserved.
Output operands from REAL_CODE() and PHYS_CODE() assembly may
therefore contain undefined values in the upper 32 bits.
Fix by using explicit variable widths (e.g. uint32_t) for
non-discarded output operands, to ensure that undefined values in the
upper 32 bits of 64-bit registers are ignored.

Several popular public cloud providers do not provide any sensible
mechanism for obtaining debug output from an OS which is failing to
boot. For example, Amazon EC2 provides the "Get System Log" facility,
which occasionally deigns to report a random subset of the characters
emitted via the VM's serial port, but usually returns only a blank
screen. (Amazingly, this is still superior to the debugging
facilities provided by Azure.)
Work around these shortcomings by adding a console type which sends
output to a magically detected raw disk partition, and including such
a partition within any iPXE .usb-format image.
To use this facility:
- build an iPXE .usb image with CONSOLE_INT13 enabled
- boot the cloud VM from this image
- after the boot fails, attach the VM's boot disk to a second VM
- from this second VM, use "less -f -R /dev/sdb3" (or similar) to
view the iPXE output.

request fewer than 32 random bytes at a time, and that the RNG
protocol provides no guarantees about the amount of entropy provided

We hook the UEFI ExitBootServices() event and use it to trigger a call

caused drivers to be disconnected.)

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

Using version 1 grant tables limits guests to using 16TB of grantable
RAM, and prevents the use of subpage grants. Some versions of the Xen
hypervisor refuse to allow the grant table version to be set after the
first grant references have been created, so the loaded operating
system may be stuck with whatever choice we make here. We therefore
currently use version 2 grant tables, since they give the most
flexibility to the loaded OS.
Current versions (7.2.0) of the Windows PV drivers have no support for
version 2 grant tables, and will merrily create version 1 entries in
what the hypervisor believes to be a version 2 table. This causes
some confusion.
Avoid this problem by attempting to use version 1 tables, since
otherwise we may render Windows unable to boot.
Play nicely with other potential bootloaders by accepting either
version 1 or version 2 grant tables (if we are unable to set our
requested version).
Note that the use of version 1 tables on a 64-bit system introduces a
possible failure path in which a frame number cannot fit into the
32-bit field within the v1 structure. This in turn introduces
additional failure paths into netfront_transmit() and

for any VMs created using the built-in templates for Windows Vista or

We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP
API only if RX queue processing has been frozen. (This is similar in
spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network
device currently exposed via the PXE API.)
The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX
queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP.
This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other
than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via
SNP).
We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via
the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and
so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway.
We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to
indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or
available for use via SNP. Using a global flag allows the default
state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly.

When a 32-bit iPXE binary is running on a system which allocates PCI
memory BARs above 4GB, our PCI subsystem will return the base address
for any such BARs as zero (with a warning message if DEBUG=pci is
enabled). Currently, ioremap() will happily map an address pointing
to the start of physical memory, providing no sensible indication of
failure.
Fix by always returning NULL if we are asked to ioremap() a zero bus
address.
With a totally flat memory model (e.g. under EFI), this provides an
accurate failure indication since no PCI peripheral will be mapped to
the zero bus address.
With the librm memory model, there is the possibility of a spurious
NULL return from ioremap() if the bus address happens to be equal to
virt_offset. Under the current virtual memory map, the NULL virtual
address will always be the start of .textdata, and so this problem
cannot occur; a NULL return from ioremap() will always be an accurate
failure indication.

Our use of --gc-sections causes the linker to discard the symbols

Fix by placing symbols defined by PROVIDE_SYMBOL() (which is used by

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.

Include valgrind headers in the codebase to avoid a build dependency
on valgrind.

Building the Linux-specific code (tap.o et al) requires external
headers that have proven to be extremely variable across systems,
causing frequent build failures.
Until this situation is rectified, remove the Linux-specific code from
the default (non-Linux build).

Some binutils versions will drag in an object to satisfy the entry
symbol; some won't. Try to cope with this exciting variety of
behaviour by ensuring that all entry symbols are unique.
Remove the explicit inclusion of the prefix object on the linker
command line, since the entry symbol now provides all the information
needed to identify the prefix.

Use -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and --gc-sections to
automatically prune out any unreferenced sections.
This saves around 744 bytes (uncompressed) from the rtl8139.rom build.

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.

Merge the "bus" and "devfn" fields into a single "busdevfn" field, to
match the format used by the majority of external code.

An assembly version of memswap() is in an x86 word-length-agnostic
header file, but it used 32-bit registers to store pointers, leading
to memory errors responding to ARP queries on 64-bit systems.

The linker chooses to look for _start first and always picks
efidrvprefix.o to satisfy it (probably because it's earlier in the
archive) which causes a multiple definition error when the linker
later has to pick efiprefix.o for other symbols.
Fix by using EFI-specific TGT_LD_FLAGS with an explicit entry point.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

REQUIRE_SYMBOL() formerly used a formulation of symbol requirement
that would allow a link to succeed despite lacking a required symbol,
because it did not introduce any relocations. Fix by renaming it to
REQUEST_SYMBOL() (since the soft-requirement behavior can be useful)
and add a REQUIRE_SYMBOL() that truly requires.
Add EXPORT_SYMBOL() and IMPORT_SYMBOL() for REQUEST_SYMBOL()-like
behavior that allows one to make use of the symbol, by combining a
weak external on the symbol itself with a REQUEST_SYMBOL() of a second
symbol.

elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation
information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI
executable. It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process
and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE
image header in efiprefix.S.
elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces
the size of the gPXE EFI executable.
Currently the only supported platform for x86_64 is EFI.
Building an EFI64 gPXE requires a version of gcc that supports
__attribute__((ms_abi)). This currently means a development build of
gcc; the feature should be present when gcc 4.4 is released.
In the meantime; you can grab a suitable gcc tree from
git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mcb30/gcc/.git
