EAP exchanges may take a long time to reach a final status, especially

the final Success or Failure packet is lost), or permanently (while

Some machines (observed with an AWS EC2 m7a.large instance) will place
the ECAM configuration space window above 4GB, thereby making it
unreachable from non-paged 32-bit code. This problem is currently

since the PCI core will already have checked for unreachable 64-bit
BARs when retrieving the physical address to be mapped.)

The PCIe specification requires that "processor and host bridge
implementations must ensure that a method exists for the software to
determine when the write using the ECAM is completed by the completer"
but does not specify any particular method to be used. Some platforms
might treat writes to the ECAM region as non-posted, others might
require reading back from a dedicated (and implementation-specific)
completion register to determine when the configuration space write
has completed.
Since PCI configuration space writes will never be used for any
performance-critical datapath operations (on any sane hardware), a
simple and platform-independent solution is to always read back from
the written register in order to guarantee that the write must have
completed. This is safe to do, since the PCIe specification defines a
limited set of configuration register types, none of which have read
side effects.

We currently use the number of timer ticks since power-on as a seed
for the non-cryptographic RNG implemented by random(). Since iPXE is
often executed directly after power-on, and since the timer tick
resolution is generally low, this can often result in identical seed
values being used on each cold boot attempt.
As of commit 41f786c ("[settings] Add "unixtime" builtin setting to
expose the current time"), the current wall-clock time is always
available within the default build of iPXE. Use this time instead, to
introduce variability between cold boot attempts on the same host.

the MAC address as an additional seed value.)

(e.g. registering a device such that the port VLAN assignment will be
changed), then the only means currently available to effect the
restart is to reboot the whole system. If iPXE is taking over a
physical link already used by a preceding bootloader, then even a
reboot may not work.

initiates transmissions. EAPoL extends this to include an EAPoL-Start

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,

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.

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.)

The UEFI shim includes a "shim lock protocol" that can be used by a
third party second stage loader such as GRUB to verify a kernel image.
Add definitions for the relevant portions of this protocol interface.

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.)

An EFI image that is rejected by LoadImage() due to failing Secure
Boot verification is still an EFI image. Unfortunately, the extremely
broken UEFI Secure Boot model provides no way for us to unambiguously
determine that a valid EFI executable image was rejected only because
it failed signature verification. We must therefore use heuristics to
guess whether not an image that was rejected by LoadImage() could
still be loaded via a separate PE loader such as the UEFI shim.

Versions 15.4 and earlier of the UEFI shim are incapable of correctly
parsing the command line in order to extract the second stage loader
filename, and will always attempt to load "grubx64.efi" or equivalent.
Versions 15.3 and later of the UEFI shim are currently incapable of
loading a Linux kernel directly anyway, since the kernel does not
include SBAT metadata. These versions will require a genuine
shim-signed GRUB binary to be used as a crutch to assist shim in
loading a Linux kernel.
This leaves versions 15.2 and earlier of the UEFI shim (as currently
used in e.g. RHEL7) as being capable of directly loading a Linux
kernel, but incorrectly attempting to load it using the filename
"grubx64.efi" or equivalent. To support the bugs in these older
versions of the UEFI shim, allow the currently selected image to be
opened via any filename of the form "grub*.efi".

When invoking a kernel via the UEFI shim, the kernel image must be
accessible via EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL but must not be present
in the magic initrd constructed from all registered images.
Re-register a currently executing EFI image and mark it as hidden,
thereby allowing it to be accessed via the virtual filesystem exposed
via EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL without appearing in the magic
initrd contents.

When invoking a kernel via the UEFI shim, the kernel (and potentially
also a helper binary such as GRUB) must be accessible via the virtual
filesystem exposed via EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL but must not be
present in the magic initrd constructed from all registered images.
Allow for images to be flagged as hidden, which will cause them to be
excluded from API-level lists of all images such as the virtual
filesystem directory contents, the magic initrd, or the Multiboot
module list. Hidden images remain visible to iPXE commands including
"imgstat", which will show a "[HIDDEN]" flag for such images.

Try searching for a matching registered image before checking for
fixed filenames (such as "initrd.magic" for the dynamically generated
magic initrd file). This minimises surprise by ensuring that an
explicitly downloaded image will always be used verbatim.

Hybrid bzImage and UEFI binaries (such as wimboot) include a bzImage
header within a section starting at offset zero, with the PE header
effectively occupying unused space within this section. This section
should not appear as a named section in the resulting PE file.
Allow for the existence of hidden sections that do not result in a
section header being written to the PE file.

Hybrid 32-bit BIOS and 64-bit UEFI binaries (such as wimboot) may
include R_X86_64_32 relocation records for the 32-bit BIOS portions.
These should be ignored when generating PE relocation records, since
they apply only to code that cannot be executed within the context of
the 64-bit UEFI binary, and creating a 4-byte relocation record is
invalid in a binary that may be relocated anywhere within the 64-bit
address space (see commit 907cffb "[efi] Disallow R_X86_64_32
relocations").
Add a "--hybrid" option to elf2efi, which will cause R_X86_64_32
relocation records to be silently discarded.

Hybrid bzImage and UEFI binaries (such as wimboot) require the PE
header to be kept as small as possible, since the bzImage header
starts at a fixed offset 0x1f1.
The EFI_IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER structures in PeImage.h define an
optional header containing 16 data directory entries, of which the
last eight are unused in binaries that we create. Shrink the data
directory to contain only the first eight entries, to minimise the
overall size of the PE header.

Hybrid bzImage and UEFI binaries (such as wimboot) require the PE
header to be kept as small as possible, since the bzImage header
starts at a fixed offset 0x1f1.
The PE header currently includes 128 bytes of zero padding between the
DOS and NT header portions. This padding has been present since
commit 81d92c6 ("[efi] Add EFI image format and basic runtime
environment") first added support for EFI images in iPXE, and was
included on the basis of matching the observed behaviour of the
Microsoft toolchain. There appears to be no requirement for this
padding to exist: EDK2 binaries built with gcc include only 64 bytes
of zero padding, Linux kernel binaries include 66 bytes of non-zero
padding, and wimboot binaries include no padding at all.
Remove the unnecessary padding between the DOS and NT header portions
to minimise the overall size of the PE header.
