Include PMM allocation result in POST banner.
Include full product string in "starting execution" message.
Also mark ourselves as supporting DDIM in PnP header, for
completeness.
On a system that doesn't support BBS, we end up hooking INT19 to gain
control of the boot process. If the system is PCI3.0, we must take
care to use the runtime value for %cs, rather than the POST-time
value, otherwise we end up pointing INT19 to the temporary option ROM
POST scratch area.
Determine the network-layer packet type and fill it in for UNDI
clients. This is required by some NBPs such as emBoot's winBoot/i.
This change requires refactoring the link-layer portions of the
gPXE netdevice API, so that it becomes possible to strip the
link-layer header without passing the packet up the network stack.
Some dumb NBPs (e.g. emBoot's winBoot/i) never call PXENV_UNDI_ISR
with FuncFlag=PXENV_UNDI_ISR_START; they just sit in a tight polling
loop merrily violating the PXE spec with repeated calls to
PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS. Force a extra calls to netdev_poll() to
cope with these out-of-spec clients.
Allow for an arbitrary number of splits of the system memory map via
INT 15,e820.
Features of the new map-mangling algorithm include:
Supports random access to e820 map entries.
Requires only sequential access support from the underlying e820
map, even if our caller uses random access.
Empty regions will always be stripped.
Always terminates with %ebx=0, even if the underlying map terminates
with CF=1.
Allows for an arbitrary number of hidden regions, with underlying
regions split into as many subregions as necessary.
Total size increase to achieve this is 193 bytes.
Define a list of N allowed memory regions, and split each underlying
e820 region into up to N subregions. Strip resulting empty regions
out of the map, avoiding using the "return with CF set to strip last
empty region" trick, because it seems that bootmgr.exe in Win2k8 gets
upset if the memory map is terminated with CF set.
This is an intermediate checkin that defines a single allowed memory
region covering the entire 64-bit address space, and uses the existing
map-mangling code on top of the new region-splitting code. This
sanitises the memory map to the point that Win2k8 is able to boot even
on a system that defines a final zero-length region at the 4GB mark.
I'm checking this in because it may be useful for future debugging
efforts to be able to run with the existing and known-working map
mangling code together with the map sanitisation capabilities of the
new map mangling code.
Add support for manipulating the jump instruction that forms the
option ROM initialisation entry point, so that mergerom.pl can treat
it just like other entry points.
Add support for merging the initialisation entry point (and IBM BOFM
table) to mergerom.pl; this is another slightly icky but unfortunately
necessary GPL vs. NDA workaround. When mergerom.pl replaces an entry
point in the original ROM, it now fills in the corresponding entry
point in the merged ROM with the original value; this allows (for
example) a merged initialisation entry point to do some processing and
then jump back to the original entry point.
fetch_string_setting() was subtracting one from the length of the
to-be-NUL-terminated buffer in order to obtain the length of the
unterminated buffer to be passed to fetch_setting(). This works
extremely well unless the length of the to-be-NUL-terminated buffer is
zero, at which point we end up giving fetch_setting() a buffer of
length -1UL, thereby inviting it to overwrite as much memory as it
wants...
The ProxyDHCPREQUEST is a unicast packet, so the first request will
almost always be lost due to not having the IP address in the ARP
cache. If the minimum retry time is set to one second (as per commit
ff2b6a5), then ProxyDHCP will time out and give up before managing to
successfully transmit a request.
The DHCP timers need to be reworked anyway, so this mild hack is
acceptable for now.
New min_timeout and max_timeout fields in struct retry_timer allow
users of this timer to set their own desired minimum and maximum
timeouts, without being constrained to a single global minimum and
maximum. Users of the timer can still elect to use the default global
values by leaving the min_timeout and max_timeout fields as 0.
WinPE seems to have a bug that causes it to always use the TFTP server
IP address and filename from the ProxyDHCPACK packet, even if the
ProxyDHCPACK packet doesn't exist. This causes it to end up
attempting to fetch a file such as
tftp://0.0.0.0/bootmgr.exe
If we don't have a ProxyDHCPACK to use, we pretend that it was a copy
of the DHCPACK packet. This works around the problem, and hopefully
won't surprise any NBPs.
Altiris erroneously cares about the ordering of DHCP options, and will
get confused if we don't construct them in the order it expects.
This is observed (so far) only when attempting to deploy 64-bit Win2k3.
This patch adds support for the virtio-net adapter provided by KVM.

When we boot from a DHCP-supplied filename, we previously relied on
the fact that the current working URI is set to tftp://[next-server]/
in order to resolve the filename into a full tftp:// URI. However,
this process will eliminate the distinction between filenames with and
without initial slashes:
cwuri="tftp://10.0.0.1/" filename="vmlinuz" => URI="tftp://10.0.0.1/vmlinuz"
cwuri="tftp://10.0.0.1/" filename="/vmlinuz" => URI="tftp://10.0.0.1/vmlinuz"
This distinction is important for some TFTP servers. We now
explicitly construct a string of the form
"tftp://[next-server]/filename"
so that a filename with an initial slash will result in a URI
containing a double-slash, e.g.
"tftp://10.0.0.1//vmlinuz"
The TFTP code always strips a single initial slash, and so ends up
presenting the correct path to the server.
URIs entered explicitly by users at the command line must include a
double slash if they want an initial slash presented to the TFTP
server:
"kernel tftp://10.0.0.1/vmlinuz" => filename="vmlinuz"
"kernel tftp://10.0.0.1//vmlinuz" => filename="/vmlinuz"
This utility is required as a workaround for legal restrictions on
including GPL and non-GPL code within the same expansion ROM image.
While this is not encouraged, we are prepared to accept that
concatenation of ROM images and updating of the ROM header data
structures can be classed as "mere aggregation" within the terms of
the GPL.
If in any doubt, assume that you cannot include GPL and non-GPL code
within the same expansion ROM image. Contact the Etherboot team for
clarification on your specific circumstances.
When an error reply (not 1xx, 2xx or 3xx) was received, ftp_reply()
invoked ftp_done() to close connections, but did not return, and the

Based on a patch contributed by Sergey Vlasov <vsu@altlinux.ru> :
In my testing with "qemu -net user" the 226 response to RETR was
often received earlier than final packets of the data connection;
this caused the received file to become truncated without any error
indication. Fix this by adding an intermediate state FTP_TRANSFER
between FTP_RETR and FTP_QUIT, so that the transfer is considered to
be complete only when both the end of data connection is encountered
and the final reply to the RETR command is received.
H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> sent word that Sergey Vlasov
<vsu@altlinux.ru> discovered gPXE lkrn images fail to load in SYSLINUX

Also change the header jmp instruction to use a hardcoded opcode value
like Linux does. Just in case the assembler decides to use a three-byte
instruction instead of the desired two-byte jmp.
Allow settings to be expanded in arbitrary commands, such as

This change allows the time for which shell banners are displayed to
be configured in the config.h file. The ability to access the shell
can also be effectively disabled by setting this timeout to zero.
In tg3_chip_reset(), the PCI_EXPRESS change is taken from the Linux
tg3 driver. I am not sure what exactly it does (it is not documented
in the Linux driver), but it is necessary for the NIC to work
correctly.
Use "-include" rather than "include" for the generated Makefile

otherwise appears at the start of a clean build.

Add yet another ugly hack to iscsiboot.c, this time to allow the user to
inhibit the shutdown/removal of the iSCSI INT13 device (and the network
devices, since they are required for the iSCSI device to function).
On the plus side, the fact that shutdown() now takes flags to
differentiate between shutdown-for-exit and shutdown-for-boot means that
another ugly hack (to allow returning via the PXE stack on BIOSes that
have broken INT 18 calls) will be easier.
I feel dirty.
Conjecture: The hardware issues 64-bit DMA writes of status descriptors,
which some PCI bridges seem to split into two 32-bit writes in reverse
order (i.e. dword 1 first). This means that we sometimes observe a
partial status descriptor. Add an explicit check to ensure that the
descriptor is complete before processing it.
Also ensure that the RDS consumer counter is incremented only when we
know that we have actually consumed an RX descriptor.
Shifting all INT13 drive numbers causes problems on systems that use a
sparse drive number space (e.g. qemu BIOS, which uses 0xe0 for the CD-ROM
drive).
The strategy now is:
Each drive is assigned a "natural" drive number, being the next
available drive number in the system (based on the BIOS drive count).
Each drive is accessed using its specified drive number. If the
specified drive number is -1, the natural drive number will be used.
Accesses to the specified drive number will be delivered to the
emulated drive, masking out any preexisting drive using this number.
Accesses to the natural drive number, if different, will be remapped to
the masked-out drive.
The overall upshot is that, for examples:
System has no drives. Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x80
and specified number 0x80. Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
drive, and there is no remapping.
System has one drive. Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x81
and specified number 0x80. Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
drive. Accesses to drive 0x81 get remapped to the original drive 0x80.
Verifying server ID and DHCP transaction ID is insufficient to
differentiate between DHCPACK and ProxyDHCPACK when the DHCP server and
Proxy DHCP server are the same machine.
If there is more than one loaded image, refuse to automatically select
the image to execute. There are at least two possible cases, with
different "correct" answers:
1. User loads image A by mistake, then loads image B and types "boot".
User wants to execute image B.
2. User loads image A, then loads image B (which patches image A), then
types "boot". User wants to execute image A.
If a user actually wants to load multiple images, they must explicitly
specify which image is to be executed.
Clearing the LOADED flag actually prevents users from doing clever things
such as loading an image, then loading a patch image, then executing the
first image. (image_exec() checks for IMAGE_LOADED, so this sequence of
operations will fail if the LOADED flag gets cleared.)
This reverts commit 14c080020f.
Loading an image may overwrite part or all of any previously-loaded
images, so we should clear the LOADED flag for all images prior to
attempting to load a new image.
We can just treat all non-kernel images as initrds, which matches our
behaviour for multiboot kernels. This allows us to eliminate initrd as
an image type, and treat the "initrd" command as just another synonym for
"imgfetch".
dhcppkt_store() is supposed to clear the setting if passed NULL for the
setting data. In the case of fixed-location fields (e.g. client IP
address), this requires setting the content of the field to all-zeros.
__from_data16 and __from_text16 now take a pointer to a
.data16/.text16 variable, and return the real-mode offset within the
appropriate segment. This matches the use case for every occurrence
of these macros, and prevents potential future bugs such as that fixed
in commit d51d80f. (The bug arose essentially because "&pointer" is
still syntactically valid.)
__from_data16 takes the value pointed to, rather than the pointer
itself. This was silently causing gPXE to return a dud buffer pointer
when the caller did not supply a buffer for PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO.
Perform the same test for a matching DHCP_SERVER_IDENTIFIER on
ProxyDHCPACKs as we do for DHCPACKs. Otherwise, a retransmitted
DHCPACK can end up being treated as the ProxyDHCPACK.
I have a vague and unsettling memory that this test was deliberately
omitted, but I can't remember why, and can't find anything in the VC
logs.
ns8390.c can produce four different drivers (one PCI, three ISA.) The
ISA driver requires setting a few macros; do that by setting defines
in stub files instead of using src/Config.
Currently, all the ISA drivers are broken (they were not enabled by
default), so #if 0 them out.

When the 16-bit segment registers are accessed using 32-bit instructions
the high order bytes are undefined on older CPUs. We now explicitly
zero the high order bytes when snapshotting the CPU state. This ensures
that the GDB stub reports consistent values for the segment registers.
This commit implements GDB over UDP. Using UDP is more complex than
serial and has required some restructuring.
The GDB stub is now built using one or both of GDBSERIAL and GDBUDP
config.h options.
To enter the debugger, execute the gPXE shell command:
gdbstub <transport> [<options>...]
Where <transport> is "serial" or "udp". For "udp", the name of a
configured network device is required:
gdbstub udp net0
The GDB stub listens on UDP port 43770 by default.
Commit fd0aef9 introduced a typo that caused PMM detection to start at
paragraph 0xe00 rather than 0xe000. (Detection would still work, since it
would scan until it ran out of base memory, but it would end up scanning
an unnecessarily large portion of base memory.)

Send a null command, specifically "pulse outputs" with no outputs
selected, to the KBC after changing A20. This was apparently done by DOS,
presumably as a synchronization hack, and the authors of the UHCI spec
thought it was inherent. Therefore, there are systems out there (e.g. HP
DL360 G5) which will stop responsing to "legacy USB" unless they see the
null command, 0xFF, written to port 0x64 at the end of the A20 toggling
sequence.

Some drivers that still use the legacy-driver wrapper (tg3 in particular)
apparently do not specify their alignment constraints properly. This
hack forces any __shared data to be maximally aligned.
Note that this provides only 16-byte alignment; it is not possible to
request alignment to any greater than 16 bytes using
__attribute__((aligned)), since the relocation code will preserve only 16
byte alignment (and operation under -DKEEP_IT_REAL cannot preserve more
that 16 byte alignment).

When the BIOS doesn't support BBS, hooking INT 19 is the only way to add
ourselves as a boot device. If we have to do this, we should at least
try to chain to the original INT 19 vector if our boot fails.

2.6.22+ kernels have an extra field in the bzimage_header structure to
indicate the maximum permitted command-line length. Use this if it is
available.
A bug in read_smbios_string() was causing the starting offset of the

strings being returned.
Bug identified by Martin Herweg <m.herweg@gmx.de>
Add the definition of SLAM_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_NACK, which is roughly
equivalent to a TCP window size; it represents the maximum number of
packets that will be requested in a single NACK.
Note that, to keep the code size down, we still limit ourselves to
requesting only a single range per NACK; if the missing-block list is
discontiguous then we may request fewer than SLAM_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_NACK
blocks.
Avoid calling cpu_nap() until after we have determined that there is
no input ready to read. This avoids delaying for one timer interrupt
(~50ms) in the case of
if ( iskey() )
char = getkey()
which happens to be present in monojob.c, which is where we spend most
of our time looping (e.g. during any download).
This should eliminate the irritating tendency of gPXE to lose
keypresses.
Discovered on a Dell system where the serial port seems to send in a
constant stream of 0xff characters; this wouldn't be a problem in
itself except that each one triggers the 50ms delay (as mentioned
above), which really kills performance.
On any fast network, or with any driver that may drop packets
(e.g. Infiniband, which has very small RX rings), the traditional
usage of the SLAM protocol will result in enormous numbers of packet
drops and a consequent large number of retransmissions.
By adapting the client behaviour, we can force the server to act more
like a multicast TFTP server, with flow control provided by a single
master client.
This behaviour should interoperate with any traditional SLAM client
(e.g. Etherboot 5.4) on the network. The SLAM protocol isn't actually
documented anywhere, so it's hard to define either behaviour as
compliant or otherwise.
A missing test for dhcp->dhcpoffer in dhcp_timer_expired() was causing
the client to transition to DHCPREQUEST after timing out on waiting
for ProxyDHCP even if no DHCPOFFERs had been received.
In a SLAM NACK packet, if we run out of space to represent the
missing-block list, then indicate all remaining blocks as missing.
This avoids the need to wait for the one-second timeout before
receiving the blocks that otherwise wouldn't have been requested due
to running out of space.
Shorter NACK packets take less time to construct and spew out less
debug output, and there's a limit to how useful it is to send a
complete missing-block list anyway; if the loss rate is high then
we're going to have to retransmit an updated missing-block list
anyway.
Also add pretty debugging output to show the list of requested blocks.
We never set up specific multicast filters; native drivers will ask
the card to receive all multicast packets. The only way to achieve
this via the UNDI API is to enable promiscuous mode.
UDP sockets can be used for multicast, at which point it becomes
plausible that we could receive packets that aren't destined for us
but that still match on a port number.
Delete ELF as a generic image type. The method for invoking an
ELF-based image (as well as any tables that must be set up to allow it
to boot) will always depend on the specific architecture. core/elf.c
now only provides the elf_load() function, to avoid duplicating
functionality between ELF-based image types.
Add arch/i386/image/elfboot.c, to handle the generic case of 32-bit
x86 ELF images. We don't currently set up any multiboot tables, ELF
notes, etc. This seems to be sufficient for loading kernels generated
using both wraplinux and coreboot's mkelfImage.
Note that while Etherboot 5.4 allowed ELF images to return, we don't.
There is no callback mechanism for the loaded image to shut down gPXE,
which means that we have to shut down before invoking the image. This
means that we lose device state, protection against being trampled on,
etc. It is not safe to continue afterwards.
Revert "Use .SECONDARY instead of .PRECIOUS for bin/%.tmp targets."
This reverts commit de29e5a39c.
.SECONDARY doesn't seem to work properly with the target patterns of
implicit rules. In particular, a "make clean ; make bin/rtl8139.dsk"
will correctly leave the bin/rtl8139.dsk.tmp file present when .PRECIOUS
is used, but not when .SECONDARY is used.
This is slightly irritating since we don't want the
"do-not-delete-if-interrupted" semantics of .PRECIOUS, but it seems to be
the best compromise.
During development it is often handy to change the config.h options from
their defaults, for example to enable debugging features.
To prevent accidental commits of debugging config.h changes, mdc
suggested having a config-local.h that is excluded from source control.
This file acts as a temporary config.h and can override any of the
defaults.
This commit is an attempt to implement the config-local.h feature.
The config.h file now has the following as its last line:
/* @TRYSOURCE config-local.h */
The @TRYSOURCE directive causes config-local.h to be included at that
point in the file. If config-local.h does not exist, no error will be
printed and parsing will continue as normal. Therefore, mkconfig.pl is
"trying" to "source" config-local.h.
The GDBSYM config.h option was an attempt at QEMU GDB debugging. I have
removed the code since it is unused and may confuse people wanting to
use the GDB stub.
Maintain state for the advertised window length, and only ever increase
it (instead of calculating it afresh on each transmit). This avoids
triggering "treason uncloaked" messages on Linux peers.
Respond to zero-length TCP keepalives (i.e. empty data packets
transmitted outside the window). Even if the peer wouldn't otherwise
expect an ACK (because its packet consumed no sequence space), force an
ACK if it was outside the window.
We don't yet generate TCP keepalives. It could be done, but it's unclear
what benefit this would have. (Linux, for example, doesn't start sending
keepalives until the connection has been idle for two hours.)
When the embedded image is a script, the unregister_image() performed by
image/script.c corrupts memory, since image/embedded.c omitted the call
to register_image().
This is the first bug fixed using Stefan Hajnoczi's gdb stub for gPXE.
Return the most appropriate of EACCES, EPERM, ENODEV, ENOTSUP, EIO or
EINVAL depending on the exact error returned by the target, rather than
just always returning EPERM.
Also, ensure that error strings exist for these errors.
The ROM prefix now prompts the user to enter the gPXE shell during POST;
this allows for configuring gPXE without needing to attempt to boot from
it. (It also slows down system boot by three seconds per gPXE ROM, but
hey.)
This is apparently a certain OEM's requirement for option ROMs.
Various specification documents disagree about the byte ordering of
UUIDs. However, SMBIOS seems to use the standard in which everything is
in network-endian order.
This doesn't affect anything sent on the wire; only what gets printed on

The current ipv4 incorrectly checks the IP address for multicast address.
This causes valid IPv4 unicast address to be trated as multicast address
For e.g if the PXE/tftp server IP address is 192.168.4.XXX where XXX is

multicast address is sent out on the wire causing timeouts
Some EMC targets will fail if we advertise that we can authenticate with
CHAP, but the target is configured to allow unauthenticated access to that
target. We advertise AuthMethod=CHAP,None; the target should (I think)
select AuthMethod=None for unprotected targets. IETD does this, but an
EMC Celerra NS83 doesn't.
Fix by offering only AuthMethod=None if the user hasn't supplied a
username and password; this means that we won't be offering CHAP
authentication unless the user is expecting to use it (in which case the
target is presumably configured appropriately).
Many thanks to Alessandro Iurlano <alessandro.iurlano@gmail.com> for

ROMs will refuse to build unless pci_vendor_id and pci_device_id are

Fixed hardcoded inclusion of little_bswap.h
Use EIO rather than 1 as an error number.
Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.
Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.
IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.
Infiniband devices no longer block waiting for link-up in
register_ibdev().
Hermon driver needs to create an event queue and poll for link-up events.
Infiniband core needs to reread MAD parameters when link state changes.
IPoIB needs to cope with Infiniband link parameters being only partially
available at probe and open time.
PXE is a catch-all image format with no signature checks. If an
unsupported image file is loaded, it will be treated as a PXE image. In
most cases, the image will be too large to be loaded as a PXE image (which
has to fit in base memory), so the error returned to the user will be that
the segment could not fit within the memory region.
Add an explicit check to pxe_image.c to reject images larger than base
memory with ENOEXEC.
Add ENOEXEC to the error string table.
gPXE is not compliant with the HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC 2616),
since it lacks support for "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". gPXE is,
however, compliant with the HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945), which
does not require "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" to be supported.
The only HTTP/1.1 feature that gPXE uses is the "Host:" header, but
servers universally accept that one from HTTP/1.0 clients as an
optional extension (it is obligatory for HTTP/1.1). gPXE does not,
for example, appear to support connection caching. Advertising as a
HTTP/1.0 client will typically make the server close the connection
immediately upon sending the last data, which is actually beneficial
if we aren't going to keep the connection alive anyway.
The PXE spec is (as usual) unclear on precisely when ProxyDHCPREQUESTs
should be issued. We adapt the following, slightly paranoid approach:
If an offer contains an IP address, then it is a normal DHCPOFFER.
If an offer contains an option #60 "PXEClient", then it is a
ProxyDHCPOFFER. Note that the same packet can be both a normal
DHCPOFFER and a ProxyDHCPOFFER.
After receiving the normal DHCPACK, if we have received a
ProxyDHCPOFFER, we unicast a ProxyDHCPREQUEST back to the ProxyDHCP
server on port 4011. If we time out waiting for a ProxyDHCPACK, we
treat this as a non-fatal error.
Change the PXE return code for EWOULDBLOCK from PXENV_STATUS_FAILURE
to PXENV_STATUS_TFTP_OPEN. This code is only used by the FILE_READ
PXEXT call, and is necessary to distinguish "error" from "no data" in
that call.
(The only other nonblocking call is UDP_READ, where the caller doesn't
care about the distinction, however, gPXE doesn't use EWOULDBLOCK
internally to represent this condition in that code.)
Allow for settings to be described by something other than a DHCP option
tag if desirable. Currently used only for the MAC address setting.
Separate out fake DHCP packet creation code from dhcp.c to fakedhcp.c.
Remove notion of settings from dhcppkt.c.
Rationalise dhcp.c to use settings API only for final registration of the

Register ProxyDHCP options under the global scope "proxydhcp".
Unregister previously-acquired DHCP and ProxyDHCP settings when DHCP
succeeds.
Add a configuration settings block for each net device. This will
provide the parent scope for settings applicable only to that network

DHCP, etc.).
Expose the MAC address as a setting.
Add the notion of the settings hierarchy, complete with
register/unregister routines.
Rename set->store and get->fetch to avoid naming conflicts with get/put

Add the concept of an abstract configuration setting, comprising a (DHCP)
tag value and an associated byte sequence.
Add the concept of a settings namespace.
Add functions for extracting string, IPv4 address, and signed and
unsigned integer values from configuration settings (analogous to
dhcp_snprintf(), dhcp_ipv4_option(), etc.).
Update functions for parsing and formatting named/typed options to work
with new settings API.
Update NVO commands and config UI to use new settings API.
Timers are sometimes required before the call to initialise(), so we

Add missing comments to timer code.
Lock system if no suitable timer source is found.
Fix initialisation order so that timers are initialised before code that

":"; for example, the IP address pseudo-option is now "175.3:ipv4".
Add parse and display routines for 16-bit and 32-bit integer configuration
settings.
Add parse and display routines for hex-string configuration settings.
Assume hex-string as a configuration setting type if no type is explicitly
specified.
show_setting() and related functions now return an "actual length" in the
style of snprintf(). This is to allow consumers to allocate buffers large
enough to hold the formatted setting.
When PMM is used, the gPXE image source will no longer be in base memory.
Decompression of .text16 and .data16 can therefore no longer be done in
real mode.
Use BBS installation check to see if we need to hook INT19 even on a PnP
BIOS.
Verify that $PnP signature is paragraph-aligned; bochs/qemu BIOS provides
a dummy $PnP signature with no valid entry point, and deliberately
unaligns the signature to indicate that it is not properly valid.
Print message if INT19 is hooked.
Attempt to use PMM even if BBS check failed.
WinPE's pxeboot.n12 takes the BufferLimit returned by gPXE (indicating
the size of gPXE's internal DHCP packet buffers) and erroneously passes
it in as BufferSize (indicating the size of pxeboot.n12's DHCP packet
buffer). If these don't match, then pxeboot.n12 ends up instructing gPXE
to overwrite parts of its data segment.
Change gPXE's internal DHCP packet buffers to be exactly
sizeof(BOOTPLAYER_t) bytes to work around this problem.
ROM initialisation vector now attempts to allocate a 2MB block using
PMM. If successful, it copies the ROM image to this block, then
shrinks the ROM image to allow for more option ROMs. If unsuccessful,
it leaves the ROM as-is.
ROM BEV now attempts to return to the BIOS, resorting to INT 18 only
if the BIOS stack has been corrupted.
The generate-by-PCI-device-ID rules (bin/pci_VVVV_DDDD.rom) are generally
used for building actual ROM images to be burned, and the burning
utilities generally run under some DOS variant. Change the filename from
pci_VVVV_DDDD.rom to VVVVDDDD.rom so that it is compatible with the DOS
8.3-character filename limit.
This allows pxelinux to execute arbitrary gPXE commands. This is
remarkably unsafe (not least because some of the commands will assume
full ownership of memory and do nasty things like edit the e820 map
underneath the calling pxelinux), but it does allow access to the
"sanboot" command.

RFC 4390 provides for the DHCP client identifier to contain the link-layer
hardware type and MAC address when the MAC address exceeds 16 bytes.
However, the hardware type field is only 8 bits; we were assuming 16 bits.
Arbel and Hermon cards both have multiple ports. Add the
infrastructure required to register each port as a separate IB
device. Don't yet register more than one port, since registration
will currently fail unless a valid link is detected.
Use ib_*_{set,get}_{drv,owner}data wrappers to access driver- and
owner-private data on Infiniband structures.
Pull out common code for handling management datagrams from arbel.c
and hermon.c into infiniband.c.
Add port number to struct ib_device.
Add open(), close() and mad() methods to struct ib_device_operations.
As written, if the if the UNDI ISR call clobbers the upper halves of
any of the GPRs (which by convention it is permitted to do, and by
paranoia should be expected to do) then nothing in the interrupt
handler will recover the state.
Additionally, save/restore %fs and %gs out of sheer paranoia - it's a
cheap enough operation, and may prevent problems due to poorly written
UNDI stacks.
Since we don't know what the UNDI code does, it is safest to
save/restore %eflags even though the lower half of %eflags is
automatically saved by the interrupt itself.

stappers and xl0 pointed out that gnu make sets some variables, so ?=
is ineffective in some cases where we use it.. Cross-compilation
requires that some variables can be overridden in the
src/$(ARCH)/Config file, so include that file _after_ utility program
variables are set.

Hello,
gPXE didn't work on 3COM 905C Tornado cards for me.
It did transmit the DHCP request, but it didn't see the DHCP offer.
Adding debug print statements allready solved the problem.
Attached is a patch that has a cleaner delay then print statements.
The core of it is
- for(i=0;i<40000;i++);
+ mdelay(1);
There was no research if the change is about a longer delay
or about code NOT being optimized away. It works for me :-)
Cheers

driver's probe() routine fills in in nic->irqno. This is so that
non-interrupt-capable legacy drivers which set nic->irqno=0 will end
up reporting IRQ#0 via PXENV_UNDI_GET_INFORMATION; this in turn means
that the calling PXE NBP will (should) hook the timer interrupt, and
everything will sort of work.
The e1000_irq() routine should (per mcb30) do enable on non-zero,
disable on zero. This is not consistent in all drivers, so I'll
wait to update it when doing a global sweep.
This needs to be done manually because if the irq() routine is
implemented then we want something like "nic->irqno = pci->irqno;",
else we do "nic->irqno = 0;" nic->ioaddr may also need to be set
carefully.
Also added local variables to end of many files, for emacs indentation
to match kernel style (tab does 8 space indent).
_textdata_link_addr, _load_addr and _max_align in the linker scripts.
A bug in some versions of ld causes segfaults if the DEFINED() macro
is used in a linker script *and* the -Map option to ld is present.
We don't currently need to override any of these values; if we need to
do so in future then the solution will probably be to always specify
the values on the ld command line, and have the linker script not
define them at all.
PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO. If we dont do this, Altiris' NBP screws up; it
relies on being able to grab pointers to each of the three packets and
then read them at will later.
There may still be an issue with memory handling, since it seems to
die ungracefully when ARP packets come in after loading a kernel.
Something to debug.
We didn't specify values for MaxRecvDataSegmentLength and
MaxBurstLength (to save space, since we were happy with the
RFC-defined default values of 8kB and 256kB respectively). However,
the OpenSolaris target (incorrectly) assumes default values of zero
for these parameters.
The upshot was that the OpenSolaris target would get stuck in an
endless loop trying to send us the first 512-byte sector, zero bytes
at a time, and would eventually run out of memory and core-dump.
Fixed by explicitly specifying the default values for these two
parameters.
memory map. (We achieve this by setting CF on the last entry if it is
zero-length; this avoids the need to look ahead to see at each entry
if the *next* entry would be both the last entry and zero-length).
This fixes the "0kB base memory" error message upon starting Windows
2003 on a SunFire X2100.

byte, rather than the number of permissible bytes (i.e. subtract one
from the value under the previous definition to get the value under
the new definition).
This avoids integer overflow on 64-bit kernels, where
bzhdr.initrd_addr_max may be 0xffffffffffffffff; under the old
behaviour we set mem_limit equal to initrd_addr_max+1, which meant it
ended up as zero. Kernel loads would fail with ENOBUFS.
tracking down a bug that turned out to be a free_iob() used where I
needed a netdev_tx_complete(). This left the freed I/O buffer on the
net device's TX list, with bad, bad consequences later.
Also fixed the bug in question.
