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
sensibly fit in our .data16 segment in base memory.
Add a portion of init_librm() running in 32-bit protected mode to
provide access to high memory. Use this portion of init_librm() to
initialise the .textdata variables "virt_offset", "text16", and
"data16", eliminating the redundant (re)initialisation currently
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.

The various early-exit paths in parse_uri() accidentally bypass the
URI field decoding. The result is that opaque or relative URIs do not
undergo URI field decoding, resulting in double-encoding when the URIs
are subsequently used. For example:
#!ipxe
set mac ${macstring}
imgfetch /boot/by-mac/${mac:uristring}
would result in an HTTP GET such as
GET /boot/by-mac/00%253A0c%253A29%253Ac5%253A39%253Aa1 HTTP/1.1
rather than the expected

TFTP URIs are intrinsically problematic, since:
- TFTP servers may use either normal slashes or backslashes as a
directory separator,
- TFTP servers allow filenames to be specified using relative paths
(with no initial directory separator),
- TFTP filenames present in a DHCP filename field may use special
characters such as "?" or "#" that prevent parsing as a generic URI.
As of commit 7667536 ("[uri] Refactor URI parsing and formatting"), we
have directly constructed TFTP URIs from DHCP next-server and filename
pairs, avoiding the generic URI parser. This eliminated the problems
related to special characters, but indirectly made it impossible to
parse a "tftp://..." URI string into a TFTP URI with a non-absolute
path.
Re-introduce the convention of requiring an extra slash in a
"tftp://..." URI string in order to specify a TFTP URI with an initial
slash in the filename. For example:
tftp://192.168.0.1/boot/pxelinux.0 => RRQ "boot/pxelinux.0"
tftp://192.168.0.1//boot/pxelinux.0 => RRQ "/boot/pxelinux.0"
This is ugly, but there seems to be no other sensible way to provide
the ability to specify all possible TFTP filenames.
A side-effect of this change is that format_uri() will no longer add a
spurious initial "/" when formatting a relative URI string. This
improves the console output when fetching an image specified via a
relative URI.

Some protocols (such as ARP) may modify the received packet and re-use
the same I/O buffer for transmission of a reply. The SMSC95XX
transmit header is larger than the receive header: the re-used I/O
buffer therefore does not have sufficient headroom for the transmit
header, and the ARP reply will therefore fail to be transmitted. This
is essentially the same problem as in commit 2e72d10 ("[ncm] Reserve
headroom in received packets").
Fix by reserving sufficient space at the start of each received packet
to allow for the difference between the lengths of the transmit and
receive headers.
This problem is not caught by the current driver development test
suite (documented at http://ipxe.org/dev/driver), since even the large
file transfer tests tend to completely sufficiently quickly that there
is no need for the server to ever send an ARP request. The failure
shows up only when using a very slow protocol such as RFC7440-enhanced
TFTP (as used by Windows Deployment Services).

For historical reasons, iPXE sets the current working URI to the root
of the TFTP server whenever the TFTP server address is changed. This
was originally implemented in the hope of allowing a DHCP-provided
TFTP filename to be treated simply as a relative URI. This usage
turns out to be impractical since DHCP-provided TFTP filenames may
include characters which would have special significance to the URI
parser, and so the DHCP next-server+filename combination is now
handled by the dedicated pxe_uri() function instead.
The practice of setting the current working URI to the root of the
TFTP server is potentially helpful for interactive uses of iPXE,
allowing a user to type e.g.
iPXE> dhcp
Configuring (net0 52:54:00:12:34:56)... ok
iPXE> chain pxelinux.0
and have the URI "pxelinux.0" interpreted as being relative to the
root of the TFTP server provided via DHCP.
The current implementation of tftp_apply_settings() has an unintended
flaw. When the "dhcp" command is used to renew a DHCP lease (or to
pick up potentially modified DHCP options), the old settings block
will be unregistered before the new settings block is registered.
This causes tftp_apply_settings() to believe that the TFTP server has
been changed twice (to 0.0.0.0 and back again), and so the current
working URI will always be set to the root of the TFTP server, even if
the DHCP response provides exactly the same TFTP server as previously.
Fix by doing nothing in tftp_apply_settings() whenever there is no
TFTP server address.

Commit 5de45cd ("[romprefix] Report a pessimistic runtime size
estimate") set the PCI3.0 "runtime size" field equal to the worst-case
runtime size, on the basis that there is no guarantee that PMM
allocation will succeed and hence no guarantee that we will be able to
shrink the ROM image.
On a PCI3.0 system where PMM allocation would succeed, this can cause
the BIOS to unnecessarily refuse to initialise the iPXE ROM due to a
perceived shortage of option ROM space.
Fix by reporting the best-case runtime size via the PCI header, and
checking that we have sufficient runtime space (if applicable). This
allows iPXE ROMs to initialise on PCI3.0 systems that might otherwise
fail due to a shortage of option ROM space.
This may cause iPXE ROMs to fail to initialise on PCI3.0 systems where
PMM is broken. (Pre-PCI3.0 systems are unaffected since there must
already have been sufficient option ROM space available for the
initialisation entry point to be called.)
On balance, it seems preferable to avoid breaking "good" systems
(PCI3.0 with working PMM) at the cost of potentially breaking "bad"
systems (PCI3.0 with broken PMM).
