We currently use "push $1f" within inline assembly to push the address
of the real-mode code fragment, relying on the assembler to treat this
as "pushl" for 32-bit code or "pushq" for 64-bit code.
As of binutils commit 5cc0077 ("x86: further adjust extend-to-32bit-
address conditions"), first included in binutils-2.41, this implicit
operand size is no longer calculated as expected and 64-bit builds
will fail with
Error: operand size mismatch for `push'
Fix by adding an explicit operand size to the "push" instruction.

Commit 3ef4f7e ("[console] Avoid overlap between special keys and
Unicode characters") renumbered the special key encoding to avoid
collisions with Unicode key values outside the ASCII range. This
change broke backwards compatibility with existing scripts that
specify key values using e.g. "prompt --key" or "menu --key".
Restore compatibility with existing scripts by tweaking the special
key encoding so that the relative key value (i.e. the delta from
KEY_MIN) is numerically equal to the old pre-Unicode key value, and by
modifying parse_key() to accept a relative key value.

A running link block timer holds a reference to the network device and
will prevent it from being freed until the timer expires. It is
impossible for free_netdev() to be called while the timer is still
running: the call to stop_timer() therein is therefore a no-op.
Stop the link block timer when the device is closed, to allow a
link-blocked device to be freed immediately upon unregistration of the
device. (Since link block state is updated in response to received
packets, the state is effectively undefined for a closed device: there
is therefore no reason to leave the timer running.)

The interface debug message values constructed by INTF_DBG() et al

Formalise the notion of a temporary outbound-only interface as having

The special key range (from KEY_MIN upwards) currently overlaps with
the valid range for Unicode characters, and therefore prohibits the
use of Unicode key values outside the ASCII range.
Create space for Unicode key values by moving the special keys to the
range immediately above the maximum valid Unicode character. This
allows the existing encoding of special keys as an efficiently packed
representation of the equivalent ANSI escape sequence to be maintained

The keyboard remapping flags currently occupy bits 8 and upwards of
the to-be-mapped character value. This overlaps the range used for
special keys (KEY_MIN and upwards) and also overlaps the valid Unicode
character range.
No conflict is created by this overlap, since by design only ASCII
character values (as generated by an ASCII-only keyboard driver) are
subject to remapping, and so the to-be-remapped character values exist
in a conceptually separate namespace from either special keys or
non-ASCII Unicode characters. However, the overlap is potentially
confusing for readers of the code.
Minimise cognitive load by using bits 24 and upwards for the keyboard
remapping flags.

While not guaranteed by the UEFI specification, the enumeration of
handles, protocols, and openers will generally return results in order
of creation. Processing these objects in reverse order (as is already
done when calling DisconnectController() on the list of all handles)
will generally therefore perform the forcible uninstallation
operations in reverse order of object creation, which minimises the
number of implicit operations performed (e.g. when disconnecting a
controller that itself still has existent child controllers).

Polling for TX completions is arguably redundant when there are no
transmissions currently in progress. Commit c6c7e78 ("[efi] Poll for
TX completions only when there is an outstanding TX buffer") switched
to setting the PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS flag only when
there is an in-progress transmission awaiting completion, in order to
reduce reported TX errors and debug message noise from buggy NII
implementations that report spurious TX completions whenever the
transmit queue is empty.
Some other NII implementations (observed with the Realtek driver in a
Dell Latitude 3440) seem to have a bug in the transmit datapath
handling which results in the transmit ring freezing after sending a
few hundred packets under heavy load. The symptoms are that the
TPPoll register's NPQ bit remains set and the 256-entry transmit ring
contains a large number of uncompleted descriptors (with the OWN bit
set), the first two of which have identical data buffer addresses.
Though iPXE will submit at most one in-progress transmission via NII,
the Dell/Realtek driver seems to make a page-aligned copy of each
transmit data buffer and to report TX completions immediately without
waiting for the packet to actually be transmitted. These synthetic TX
completions continue even after the hardware transmit ring freezes.
Setting PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS on every poll reduces the
probability of this Dell/Realtek driver bug being triggered by a
factor of around 500, which brings the failure rate down to the point
that it can sensibly be managed by external logic such as the
"--timeout" option for image downloads. Closing and reopening the
interface (via "ifclose"/"ifopen") will clear the error condition and
allow transmissions to resume.
Revert to setting PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS on every poll,
and silently ignore situations in which the hardware reports a
completion when no transmission is in progress. This approximately
matches the behaviour of the SnpDxe driver, which will also generally
set PXE_OPFLAGS_GET_TRANSMITTED_BUFFERS on every poll.

EFI variables do not map neatly to the iPXE settings mechanism, since
the EFI variable identifier includes a namespace GUID that cannot
cleanly be supplied as part of a setting name. Creating a new EFI
variable requires the variable's attributes to be specified, which
does not fit within iPXE's settings concept.
However, EFI variable names are generally unique even without the
namespace GUID, and EFI does provide a mechanism to iterate over all
existent variables. We can therefore provide read-only access to EFI
variables by comparing only the names and ignoring the namespace
GUIDs.
Provide an "efi" settings block that implements this mechanism using a
syntax such as:
echo Platform language is ${efi/PlatformLang:string}
show efi/SecureBoot:int8
Settings are returned as raw binary values by default since an EFI
variable may contain boolean flags, integer values, ASCII strings,
UCS-2 strings, EFI device paths, X.509 certificates, or any other
arbitrary blob of data.

The EDK2 UefiPxeBcDxe driver includes some remarkably convoluted and
unsafe logic in its driver binding protocol Start() and Stop() methods
in order to support a pair of nominally independent driver binding
protocols (one for IPv4, one for IPv6) sharing a single dynamically
allocated data structure. This PXEBC_PRIVATE_DATA structure is
installed as a dummy protocol on the NIC handle in order to allow both
IPv4 and IPv6 driver binding protocols to locate it as needed.
The error handling code path in the UefiPxeBcDxe driver's Start()
method may attempt to uninstall the dummy protocol but fail to do so.
This failure is ignored and the containing memory is subsequently
freed anyway. On the next invocation of the driver binding protocol,
it will find and use this already freed block of memory. At some
point another memory allocation will occur, the PXEBC_PRIVATE_DATA
structure will be corrupted, and some undefined behaviour will occur.
The UEFI firmware used in VMware ESX 8 includes some proprietary
changes which attempt to install copies of the EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL
and EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL instances from the IPv4 child handle
onto the NIC handle (along with a VMware-specific protocol with GUID
5190120d-453b-4d48-958d-f0bab3bc2161 and a NULL instance pointer).
This will inevitably fail with iPXE, since the NIC handle already
includes an EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL instance.
These VMware proprietary changes end up triggering the unsafe error
handling code path described above. The typical symptom is that an
attempt to exit from iPXE back to the UEFI firmware will crash the VM
with a General Protection fault from within the UefiPxeBcDxe driver:
this happens when the UefiPxeBcDxe driver's Stop() method attempts to
call through a function pointer in the (freed) PXEBC_PRIVATE_DATA
structure, but the function pointer has by then been overwritten by
UCS-2 character data from an unrelated memory allocation.
Work around this failure by adding the VMware UefiPxeBcDxe driver to
the driver veto list.

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

Add support for using a shim as a helper to execute an EFI image.
When a shim has been specified via shim(), the shim image will be
passed to LoadImage() instead of the selected EFI image and the
command line will be prepended with the name of the selected EFI
image. The selected EFI image will be accessible to the shim via the
virtual filesystem as a hidden file.
Reduce the Secure Boot attack surface by removing, where possible, the
spurious requirement for a third party second stage loader binary such
as GRUB to be used solely in order to call the "shim lock protocol"
entry point.
Do not install the EFI PXE APIs when using a shim, since if shim finds
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL on the loaded image's device handle then it
will attempt to download files afresh instead of using the files
already downloaded by iPXE and exposed via the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM
protocol. (Experience shows that there is no point in trying to get a
fix for this upstreamed into shim.)

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.)
