The "shim" command will skip downloading the shim binary (and is
therefore a conditional no-op) if there is already a selected EFI
image that can be executed directly via LoadImage()/StartImage().
This allows the same iPXE script to be used with Secure Boot either
enabled or disabled.
Generalise this further to provide a dummy "shim" command that is an
unconditional no-op on non-EFI platforms. This then allows the same
iPXE script to be used for BIOS, EFI with Secure Boot disabled, or EFI
with Secure Boot enabled.
The same effect could be achieved by using "iseq ${platform} efi"
within the script, but this would complicate end-user documentation.
To minimise the code size impact, the dummy "shim" command is a pure
no-op that does not call parse_options() and so will ignore even
standardised arguments such as "--help".

The UEFI shim implements a fairly nicely designed revocation mechanism
designed around the concept of security generations. Unfortunately
nobody in the shim community has thus far added the relevant metadata
to the Linux kernel, with the result that current versions of shim are
incapable of booting current versions of the Linux kernel.
Experience shows that there is unfortunately no point in trying to get
a fix for this upstreamed into shim. We therefore default to working
around this undesirable behaviour by patching data read from the
"SbatLevel" variable used to hold SBAT configuration.

Most image flags are independent values: any combination of flags may
be set for any image, and the flags for one image are independent of
the flags for any other image. The "selected" flag does not follow
this pattern: at most one image may be marked as selected at any time.
When invoking a kernel via the UEFI shim, there will be multiple
"special" images: the selected kernel itself, the shim image, and
potentially a shim-signed GRUB binary to be used as a crutch to assist
shim in loading the kernel (since current versions of the UEFI shim
are not capable of directly loading a Linux kernel).
Remove the "selected" image flag and replace it with a general concept
of an image tag with the same semantics: a given tag may be assigned
to at most one image, an image may be found by its tag only while the
image is currently registered, and a tag will survive unregistration
and reregistration of an image (if it has not already been assigned to
a new image). For visual consistency, also replace the current image
pointer with a current image tag.
The image pointer stored within the image tag holds only a weak
reference to the image, since the selection of an image should not
prevent that image from being freed. (The strong reference to the
currently executing image is held locally within the execution scope
of image_exec(), and is logically separate from the current image
pointer.)

The semantics of the bus:dev.fn parameter passed to pci_find_next()
are "find the first existent PCI device at this address or higher",
with the caller expected to increment the address between finding
devices. This does not allow the parameter to distinguish between the
two cases "start from address zero" and "wrapped after incrementing
maximal possible address", which could therefore lead to an infinite
loop in the degenerate case that a device with address ffff:ff:1f.7
really exists.
Fix by checking for wraparound in the caller (which is already
responsible for performing the increment).

The BIOS console's interpretation of LShift+RShift as equivalent to
AltGr requires the shifted ASCII characters to be present in the AltGr
mapping table, to allow AltGr-Shift-<key> to be interpreted in the
same way as AltGr-<key>.
For keyboard layouts that have different ASCII characters for
AltGr-<key> and AltGr-Shift-<key>, this will potentially leave the
character for AltGr-<key> inaccessible via the BIOS console if the
BIOS requires the use of the LShift+RShift workaround. This
theoretically affects the numeric keys in the Lithuanian ("lt")
keyboard layout (where the numerals are accessed via AltGr-<key> and
punctuation characters via AltGr-Shift-<key>), but the simple
workaround for that keyboard layout is to avoid using AltGr and Shift
entirely since the unmodified numeric keys are not remapped anyway.

The AltGr remapping table is constructed to include only keys that are
not reachable after applying the basic remapping table. The logic
currently fails to include keys that are omitted entirely from the
basic remapping table since they would map to a non-ASCII character.
Fix this logic by allowing the remapping tables to include null
mappings, which are then elided only at the point of constructing the
C code fragment.

Treat dead keys in target keymaps as producing the closest equivalent
ASCII character, since many of these characters are otherwise
unrepresented on the keyboard.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Several keyboard layouts define ASCII characters as accessible only
via the AltGr modifier. Add support for this modifier to ensure that
all ASCII characters are accessible.
Experiments suggest that the BIOS console is likely to fail to
generate ASCII characters when the AltGr key is pressed. Work around
this limitation by accepting LShift+RShift (which will definitely
produce an ASCII character) as a synonym for AltGr.

The key with scancode 86 appears in the position between left shift
and Z on a US keyboard, where it typically fails to exist entirely.
Most US keyboard maps define this nonexistent key as generating "\|",
with the notable exception of "loadkeys" which instead reports it as
generating "<>". Both of these mapping choices duplicate keys that
exist elsewhere in the map, which causes problems for our ASCII-based
remapping mechanism.
Work around these quirks by treating the key as generating "\|" with
the high bit set, and making it subject to remapping. Where the BIOS
generates "\|" as expected, this allows us to remap to the correct
ASCII value.

When building as a Linux userspace application, iPXE currently
implements its own system calls to the host kernel rather than relying
on the host's C library. The output binary is statically linked and
has no external dependencies.
This matches the general philosophy of other platforms on which iPXE
runs, since there are no external libraries available on either BIOS
or UEFI bare metal. However, it would be useful for the Linux
userspace application to be able to link against host libraries such
as libslirp.
Modify the build process to perform a two-stage link: first picking
out the requested objects in the usual way from blib.a but with
relocations left present, then linking again with a helper object to
create a standard hosted application. The helper object provides the
standard main() entry point and wrappers for the Linux system calls
required by the iPXE Linux drivers and interface code.

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";

subsequent commands; all other connections are then closed. Whenever
the active path fails, we reopen all URIs and repeat the process.

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

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.
