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"

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.)

When a DHCP transaction does not result in the registration of a new

are currently left unaltered.
This can cause surprising behaviour. For example: when chainloading
iPXE, the "proxydhcp" and "pxebs" settings blocks may be prepopulated
using cached values from the previous PXE bootloader. If iPXE
performs a subsequent DHCP request, then the DHCP or ProxyDHCP servers
may choose to respond differently to iPXE. The response may choose to
omit the ProxyDHCP or PXEBS stages, in which case no new "proxydhcp"
or "pxebs" settings blocks may be registered. This will result in
iPXE using a combination of both old and new DHCP responses.
Fix by assuming that a successful DHCPACK effectively acquires
ownership of the "proxydhcp" and "pxebs" settings blocks, and that any
existing settings blocks should therefore be unregistered.

We unregister script images during their execution, to prevent a
"boot" command from re-executing the containing script. This also has
the side effect of preventing executing scripts from showing up within
the Linux magic initrd image (or the Multiboot module list).
Additional logic in bzimage.c and efi_file.c prevents a currently
executing kernel from showing up within the magic initrd image.
Similar logic in multiboot.c prevents the Multiboot kernel from
showing up as a Multiboot module.
This still leaves some corner cases that are not covered correctly.
For example: when using a gzip-compressed kernel image, nothing will
currently hide the original compressed image from the magic initrd.
Fix by moving the logic that temporarily unregisters the current image
from script_exec() to image_exec(), so that it applies to all image
types, and simplify the magic initrd and Multiboot module list
construction logic on the basis that no further filtering of the
registered image list is necessary.
This change has the side effect of hiding currently executing EFI
images from the virtual filesystem exposed by iPXE. For example, when
using iPXE to boot wimboot, the wimboot binary itself will no longer

When the Linux kernel is being used with no initrd, iPXE will still
provide a zero-length initrd.magic file within the virtual filesystem.
As of commit 6a004be ("[efi] Support the initrd autodetection
mechanism in newer Linux kernels"), this zero-length file will also be
exposed via an EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance on a handle with a
fixed device path.
The correct handling of zero-length files via EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL
is unfortunately not well defined.
Linux expects the first call to LoadFile() to always fail with
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. When the initrd is genuinely zero-length, iPXE
will return success since the buffer is not too small to hold the
(zero-length) file. This causes Linux to immediately report a
spurious EFI_LOAD_ERROR boot failure.
We could change the logic in iPXE's efi_file_load() to always return
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL if Buffer is NULL on entry. Since the correct
behaviour of LoadFile() in the corner case of a zero-length file is
left undefined by the UEFI specification, this would be permissible.
Unfortunately this approach would not fix the problem. If we return
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL and set the file length to zero, then Linux will
call the boot services AllocatePages() method with a zero length. In
at least the EDK2 implementation, this combination of parameters will
cause AllocatePages() to return EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES, and Linux will
again report a boot failure.
Another approach would be to install the initrd device path handle
only if we have a non-empty initrd to offer. Unfortunately this would
lead to a failure in yet another corner case: if a previous bootloader
has installed an initrd device path handle (e.g. to pass a boot script
to iPXE) then we must not leave that initrd in place, since then our
loaded kernel would end up seeing the wrong initrd content.
The cleanest fix seems to be to ensure that the initrd device path
handle is installed with the EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL instance present
but with the EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance absent (and forcibly
uninstalled if necessary), matching the state in which we leave the
handle after uninstalling our virtual filesystem. Linux will then not
find any handle that supports EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL within the fixed
device path, and so will fall through to trying other mechanisms to
locate the initrd.

Linux 5.7 added the ability to autodetect an initrd by searching for a
handle via a fixed vendor-specific "Linux initrd device path" and then
locating and using the EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance on that
handle.
This maps quite naturally onto our existing concept of a "magic
initrd" as introduced for EFI in commit e5f0255 ("[efi] Provide an
"initrd.magic" file for use by UEFI kernels").
Add an EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance to our EFI virtual files
(backed by simply calling the existing EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL
method to read from the file), and install the protocol instance for
the "initrd.magic" virtual file onto a new device handle that also
provides the Linux initrd device path.
The design choice in Linux of using a single fixed device path makes
this unfortunately messy to support, since device paths must be unique
within a system. When multiple bootloaders are used (e.g. GRUB
loading iPXE loading Linux) then only one bootloader can ever install
the device path onto a handle. Subsequent bootloaders must locate the
existing handle and replace the load file protocol instance with their
own.

unprefixed constant values in __einfo_error() has varied from "%c0" to
"%a0" in commit 1a77466 ("[build] Fix use of inline assembly on GCC
4.8 ARM64 builds") and back to "%c0" in commit 3fb3ffc ("[build] Fix
use of inline assembly on GCC 8 ARM64 builds"), according to the
evolving demands of the toolchain.
LoongArch64 suffers from a similar issue: GCC 13 will allow either,
but the currently released GCC 12 allows only the "%a0" form.
Introduce a macro ASM_NO_PREFIX, defined in bits/compiler.h, to
abstract away this difference and allow different architectures to use
different operand modifiers.

The Xen headers support only x86 and ARM. Allow for platforms such as
LoongArch64 to build despite the absence of Xen support by providing
an architecture-specific <bits/xen.h> that simply does:
#ifndef _BITS_XEN_H
#define _BITS_XEN_H
#include <ipxe/nonxen.h>
#endif /* _BITS_XEN_H */

Add support for recording LLDP packets and exposing TLV values via the
settings mechanism. LLDP settings are encoded as
${netX.lldp/<prefix>.<type>.<index>.<offset>.<length>}
where
<type> is the TLV type
<offset> is the starting offset within the TLV value
<length> is the length (or zero to read the from <offset> to the end)
<prefix>, if it has a non-zero value, is the subtype byte string of
length <offset> to match at the start of the TLV value, up to a
maximum matched length of 4 bytes
<index> is the index of the entry matching <type> and <prefix> to be
accessed, with zero indicating the first matching entry
The <prefix> is designed to accommodate both matching of the OUI
within an organization-specific TLV (e.g. 0x0080c2 for IEEE 802.1
TLVs) and of a subtype byte as found within many TLVs.
This encoding allows most LLDP values to be extracted easily. For
example
System name: ${netX.lldp/5.0.0.0:string}
System description: ${netX.lldp/6.0.0.0:string}
Port description: ${netX.lldp/4.0.0.0:string}
Port interface name: ${netX.lldp/5.2.0.1.0:string}
Chassis MAC address: ${netX.lldp/4.1.0.1.0:hex}

RFC 2131 leaves undefined the behaviour of the client in response to a
DHCPNAK that comes from a server other than the selected DHCP server.
A substantial amount of online documentation suggests using multiple
independent DHCP servers with non-overlapping ranges in the same
subnet in order to provide some minimal redundancy. Experimentation
shows that in this setup, at least ISC dhcpd will send a DHCPNAK in
response to the client's DHCPREQUEST for an address that is not within
the range defined on that server. (Since the requested address does
lie within the subnet defined on that server, this will happen
regardless of the "authoritative" parameter.) The client will
therefore receive a DHCPACK from the selected DHCP server along with
one or more DHCPNAKs from each of the non-selected DHCP servers.
Filter out responses from non-selected DHCP servers before checking
for a DHCPNAK, so that these arguably spurious DHCPNAKs will not cause
iPXE to return to the discovery state.
Continue to check for DHCPNAK before filtering out responses for
non-selected lease addresses, since experimentation shows that the
DHCPNAK will usually have an empty yiaddr field.

The "bridge" driver introduced in 3aa6b79 ("[pci] Add minimal PCI
bridge driver") is required only for BIOS builds using the ENA driver,
where experimentation shows that we cannot rely on the BIOS to fully
assign MMIO addresses.
Since the driver is a valid PCI driver, it will end up binding to all
PCI bridge devices even on a UEFI platform, where the firmware is
likely to have completed MMIO address assignment correctly. This has
no impact on most systems since there is generally no UEFI driver for
PCI bridges: the enumeration of the whole PCI bus is handled by the
PciBusDxe driver bound to the root bridge.
Experimentation shows that at least one laptop will freeze at the
point that iPXE attempts to bind to the bridge device. No deeper
investigation has been carried out to find the root cause.
Fix by causing efipci_supported() to return an error unless the
configuration space header type indicates a non-bridge device.

The self-test suite does not currently ever attempt to sleep the CPU.
This is an operation that may fail (e.g. by attempting to execute a
privileged instruction while running as a Linux userspace binary, or
by halting the CPU with all interrupts disabled).
Add a trivial self-test to exercise the ability to sleep the CPU
without crashing or halting forever.

Many consoles will scroll immediately upon drawing a character in the
rightmost column of the bottom row of the display, in order to be able
to advance the cursor to the next character (even if the cursor is
disabled).
This causes PXE menus to display incorrectly. Specifically, pressing
the down arrow key while already on the last menu item may cause the
whole screen to scroll and the line to be duplicated.
Fix by moving the PXE menu one row up from the bottom of the screen.

UEFI has the mildly annoying habit of installing copies of the
EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL instance on the IPv4 and IPv6 child device
handles. This can cause iPXE's SNP driver to attempt to bind to a
copy of the EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL that iPXE itself provided on a
different handle.
Fix by refusing to bind to an SNP (or NII) handle if there exists
another instance of the same protocol further up the device path (on
the basis that we always want to bind to the highest possible device).

Some versions of the 32-bit ARM linker seem to treat the absence of a

assembly file and retaining the sections in the Linux linker script.

The EFI ABI requires the use of -fno-short-enums, and the EDK2 headers
will perform a compile-time check that enums are 32 bits.
The EDK2 headers may be included even in builds for non-EFI platforms,

builds. Fortunately, nothing else currently cares about enum sizes.

# On a non-AArch64 system (e.g. x86_64) via cross-compilation,
# assuming that kernel and glibc headers are present within
# /usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/sys-root/:

Move the platform-specific DHCP client architecture definitions to
header files of the form <ipxe/$(PLATFORM)/dhcparch.h>. This
simplifies the directory structure and allows the otherwise unused
arch/$(ARCH)/include/$(PLATFORM) to be removed from the include
directory search path, which avoids the confusing situation in which a
header file may potentially be accessed through more than one path.
For Linux userspace binaries on any architecture, use the EFI values
for that architecture by delegating to the EFI header file. This
avoids the need to explicitly select values for Linux userspace
binaries for each architecture.
