A switch port using 802.1x authentication will send EAP
Request-Identity packets once the physical link is up, and will not be
forwarding packets until the port identity has been established.
We do not currently support 802.1x authentication. However, a
reasonably common configuration involves using a preset list of
permitted MAC addresses, with the "authentication" taking place
between the switch and a RADIUS server. In this configuration, the
end device does not need to perform any authentication step, but does
need to be prepared for the switch port to fail to forward packets for
a substantial time after physical link-up. This exactly matches the
"blocked link" semantics already used when detecting a non-forwarding
switch port via LACP or STP.
Treat a received EAP Request-Identity as indicating a blocked link.
Unlike LACP or STP, there is no way to determine the expected time
until the next EAP packet and so we must choose a fixed timeout.
Erroneously assuming that the link is blocked is relatively harmless
since we will still attempt to transmit and receive data even over a
link that is marked as blocked, and so the net effect is merely to
prolong DHCP attempts. In contrast, erroneously assuming that the
link is unblocked will potentially cause DHCP to time out and give up,
resulting in a failed boot.
The default EAP Request-Identity interval in Cisco switches (where
this is most likely to be encountered in practice) is 30 seconds, so
choose 45 seconds as a timeout that is likely to avoid gaps during
which we falsely assume that the link is unblocked.

IPv6 PXE was included in the UEFI specification over eight years ago,
specifically in version 2.3 (Errata D).
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Spec_2_3_D.pdf
When iPXE is being chainloaded from a UEFI firmware performing a PXE
boot in an IPv6 network, it is essential that iPXE supports IPv6 as
well.
I understand that the reason for NET_PROTO_IPV6 being disabled by
default (in src/config/general.h) is that it would cause certain
space-constrained build targets to become too large. However, this
should not be an issue for EFI builds.
It is also worth noting that RFC 6540 makes a clear recommendation
that IPv6 support should not be considered optional.

For some unspecified "security" reason, the Google Compute Engine
metadata server will refuse any requests that do not include the
non-standard HTTP header "Metadata-Flavor: Google".
Attempt to autodetect such requests (by comparing the hostname against
"metadata.google.internal"), and add the "Metadata-Flavor: Google"
header if applicable.
Enable this feature in the CONFIG=cloud build, and include a sample
embedded script allowing iPXE to boot from a script configured as
metadata via e.g.
# Create shared boot image
make bin/ipxe.usb CONFIG=cloud EMBED=config/cloud/gce.ipxe
# Configure per-instance boot script
gcloud compute instances add-metadata <instance> \

Commit 71560d1 ("[librm] Preserve FPU, MMX and SSE state across calls
to virt_call()") added FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions to iPXE. In
KVM virtual machines, these instructions execute fine as long as the
host CPU supports the "unrestricted_guest" feature (that is, it can
virtualize big real mode natively). On older host CPUs however, KVM
has to emulate big real mode, and it currently doesn't implement
FXSAVE emulation.
Upstream QEMU rebuilt iPXE at commit 0418631 ("[thunderx] Fix
compilation with older versions of gcc") which is a descendant of
commit 71560d1 (see above).
This was done in QEMU commit ffdc5a2 ("ipxe: update submodule from
4e03af8ec to 041863191"). The resultant binaries were bundled with
the QEMU v2.7.0 release; see QEMU commit c52125a ("ipxe: update
prebuilt binaries").
This distributed the iPXE workaround for the Tivoli VMM bug to a
number of KVM users with old host CPUs, causing KVM emulation failures
(guest crashes) for them while netbooting.
Make the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions conditional on a new feature
test macro called TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND. Define the macro by default.
There is prior art for an assembly file including config/general.h:
see arch/x86/prefix/romprefix.S. Also, TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND seems to
be a good fit for the "Obscure configuration options" section in
config/general.h.

Provide access to local files via the "file://" URI scheme. There are
three syntaxes:
- An opaque URI with a relative path (e.g. "file:script.ipxe").
This will be interpreted as a path relative to the iPXE binary.
- A hierarchical URI with a non-network absolute path
(e.g. "file:/boot/script.ipxe"). This will be interpreted as a
path relative to the root of the filesystem from which the iPXE
binary was loaded.
- A hierarchical URI with a network path in which the authority is a
volume label (e.g. "file://bootdisk/script.ipxe"). This will be
interpreted as a path relative to the root of the filesystem with
the specified volume label.
Note that the potentially desirable shell mappings (e.g. "fs0:" and
"blk0:") are concepts internal to the UEFI shell binary, and do not
seem to be exposed in any way to external executables. The old
EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL (which did provide access to these mappings) is no
longer installed by current versions of the UEFI shell.

Rewrite the HTTP core to allow for the addition of arbitrary content
encoding mechanisms, such as PeerDist and gzip.
The core now exposes http_open() which can be used to create requests
with an explicitly selected HTTP method, an optional requested content
range, and an optional request body. A simple wrapper provides the
preexisting behaviour of creating either a GET request or an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request (if the URI includes
parameters).
The HTTP SAN interface is now implemented using the generic block
device translator. Individual blocks are requested using http_open()
to create a range request.
Server connections are now managed via a connection pool; this allows
for multiple requests to the same server (e.g. for SAN blocks) to be
completely unaware of each other. Repeated HTTPS connections to the
same server can reuse a pooled connection, avoiding the per-connection
overhead of establishing a TLS session (which can take several seconds
if using a client certificate).
Support for HTTP SAN booting and for the Basic and Digest
authentication schemes is now optional and can be controlled via the
SANBOOT_PROTO_HTTP, HTTP_AUTH_BASIC, and HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST build
configuration options in config/general.h.

iPXE does not currently provide EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL: this
causes failures when chainloading bootloaders such as shim.efi which
assume that this protocol will be present.
Provide the ability to work around these problems via the build
configuration option EFI_DOWNGRADE_UX. If this option is enabled,
then we will not install our usual EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL
implementation, thereby allowing the platform firmware to install its
own EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL implementation on top of our
EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL handle.
A somewhat major side-effect of this workaround is that almost all
iPXE features will be disabled.
This configuration option will be removed in future when support for
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL is added.

A fairly common end-user problem is that the default configuration of
a switch may leave the port in a non-forwarding state for a
substantial length of time (tens of seconds) after link up. This can
cause iPXE to time out and give up attempting to boot.
We cannot force the switch to start forwarding packets sooner, since
any attempt to send a Spanning Tree Protocol bridge PDU may cause the
switch to disable our port (if the switch happens to have the Bridge
PDU Guard feature enabled for the port).
For non-ancient versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, we can detect
whether or not the port is currently forwarding and use this to inform
the network device core that the link is currently blocked.

Our current behaviour when booting as a ROM is to autoboot only from
devices which are attached via the PCI bus:dev.fn address passed to
the ROM's initialisation vector.
Add a build configuration option AUTOBOOT_ROM_FILTER (enabled by
default) to control this behaviour. This allows for ROMs to be built
which will attempt to boot from any detected device, even if not
attached via the original PCI bus:dev.fn address. (This is
particularly useful when building combined EHCI/xHCI ROMs for USB
network boot, since the BIOS may request a boot via the EHCI
controller but the xHCI driver will reroute the root hub ports to the
xHCI controller.)

Allow named configurations to be specified via the CONFIG=... build
parameter. For headers in config/*.h which support named
configurations, the following files will be included when building
with CONFIG=<name>:
- config/defaults/<platform>.h (e.g. config/defaults/pcbios.h)
- config/<header>.h
- config/<name>/<header>.h (only if the directory config/<name> exists)
- config/local/<header>.h (autocreated if necessary)
- config/local/<name>/<header>.h (autocreated if necessary)
This mechanism allows for predefined named configurations to be
checked in to the source tree, as a directory config/<name> containing
all of the required header files.
The mechanism also allows for users to define multiple local
configurations, by creating header files in the directory
config/local/<name>.
Note that the config/*.h files which are used only to configure
internal iPXE APIs (e.g. config/ioapi.h) cannot be modified via a
named configuration. This avoids rebuilding the entire iPXE codebase
whenever switching to a different named configuration.

iPXE currently prints a "Press Ctrl-B" banner twice: once when the ROM
is first called for initialisation and again if we attempt to boot
from the ROM. This slows boot, especially when the NIC is not the
primary boot device. Tools such as libguestfs make use of QEMU VMs
for performing maintenance on disk images and may make use of NICs in
the VM for network support. If iPXE introduces a static init-time
delay, that directly translates to increased runtime for the tools.
Fix by allowing the ROM banner timeout to be configured independently
of the main banner timeout.
