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.
(Note that variability between different hosts is obtained by using
the MAC address as an additional seed value.)
This has no effect on the separate DRBG used by cryptographic code.

Allow network upper-layer drivers (such as LLDP, which attaches to
each network device in order to provide a corresponding LLDP settings
block) to specify a size for private data, which will be allocated as
part of the network device structure (as with the existing private
data allocated for the underlying device driver).
This will allow network upper-layer drivers to be simplified by
omitting memory allocation and freeing code. If the upper-layer
driver requires a reference counter (e.g. for interface
initialisation), then it may use the network device's existing
reference counter, since this is now the reference counter for the
containing block of memory.

Commit 3ef4f7e ("[console] Avoid overlap between special keys and
Unicode characters") renumbered the special key encoding to avoid
collisions with Unicode key values outside the ASCII range. This
change broke backwards compatibility with existing scripts that
specify key values using e.g. "prompt --key" or "menu --key".
Restore compatibility with existing scripts by tweaking the special
key encoding so that the relative key value (i.e. the delta from
KEY_MIN) is numerically equal to the old pre-Unicode key value, and by
modifying parse_key() to accept a relative key value.

The interface debug message values constructed by INTF_DBG() et al
rely on the interface being embedded within a containing object. This
assumption is not valid for the temporary outbound-only interfaces
constructed on the stack by intf_shutdown() and xfer_vredirect().
Formalise the notion of a temporary outbound-only interface as having
a NULL interface descriptor, and overload the "original interface
descriptor" field to contain a pointer to the original interface that
the temporary interface is shadowing.

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.)

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
be visible within the virtual filesystem.

The Linux kernel bzImage image format and the CPIO archive constructor
will parse the image command line for certain arguments of the form
"key=value". This parsing is currently implemented using strstr() in
a way that can cause a false positive suffix match. For example, a
command line containing "highmem=<n>" would erroneously be treated as
containing a value for "mem=<n>".
Fix by centralising the logic used for parsing such arguments, and
including a check that the argument immediately follows a whitespace
delimiter (or is at the start of the string).

When chainloading iPXE from a VLAN device, the MAC address within the
cached DHCPACK will match the MAC address of the trunk device created
by iPXE, and the cached DHCPACK will then end up being erroneously
applied to the trunk device. This tends to break outbound IPv4
routing, since both the trunk and VLAN devices will have the same
assigned IPv4 address.
Fix by recording the VLAN tag along with the cached DHCPACK, and
treating the VLAN tag as part of the filter used to match the cached
DHCPACK against candidate network devices.

Expose the system MAC address (if any) via the ${sysmac} setting.
This allows scripts to access the system MAC address even when iPXE
has decided not to apply it to a network device (e.g. because the
cached DHCPACK MAC address was selected in order to match the
behaviour of a previous boot stage).
The setting is named ${sysmac} rather than ${acpimac} in order to

When running on a system with an ACPI-provided system-specific MAC
address, iPXE will apply this address to an ECM or NCM USB NIC. If
iPXE has been chainloaded from a previous stage that does not
understand the ACPI MAC mechanism then this can result in iPXE using a
different MAC address than the previous stage, which is surprising to
users.
Attempt to minimise surprise by allowing the MAC address found in a
cached DHCPACK packet to override a temporary MAC address, if the
DHCPACK MAC address matches the network device's permanent MAC
address. When a previous stage has chosen to use the network device's
permanent MAC address (e.g. because it does not understand the ACPI
MAC mechanism), this will cause iPXE to make the same choice.

Embedded images do not have an associated URI. This currently causes
the current working URI (cwuri) to be cleared when starting an
embedded image.
If the current working URI has been set via a ${next-server} setting
from a cached DHCP packet then this will result in unexpected
behaviour. An attempt by the embedded script to use a relative URI to
download files from the TFTP server will fail with the error:
Could not start download: Operation not supported (ipxe.org/3c092083)
Rerunning the "dhcp" command will not fix this error, since the TFTP
settings applicator will not see any change to the ${next-server}
setting and so will not reset the current working URI.
Fix by setting the current working URI to the image's URI only if the
image actually has an associated URI.

The key with scancode 86 appears in the position between left shift
and Z on a US keyboard, where it typically fails to exist entirely.
Most US keyboard maps define this nonexistent key as generating "\|",
with the notable exception of "loadkeys" which instead reports it as
generating "<>". Both of these mapping choices duplicate keys that
exist elsewhere in the map, which causes problems for our ASCII-based
remapping mechanism.
Work around these quirks by treating the key as generating "\|" with
the high bit set, and making it subject to remapping. Where the BIOS
generates "\|" as expected, this allows us to remap to the correct
ASCII value.

RFC3986 allows for colons to appear within the path component of a

Fix by checking for valid characters when identifying the URI scheme.
Deliberately deviate from the RFC3986 definition of valid characters
by accepting "_" (which was incorrectly used in the iPXE-specific

existing deployments), and by omitting the code to check for
characters that are not used in any URI scheme supported by iPXE.

The RFC4122 specification defines UUIDs as being in network byte

equality would perform an endian-insensitive comparison (analogous to
comparing strings for equality using a case-insensitive comparison),

iPXE decodes any percent-encoded characters during the URI parsing
stage, thereby allowing protocol implementations to consume the raw
field values directly without further decoding.
When reconstructing a URI string for use in an HTTP request line, the
percent-encoding is currently reapplied in a reversible way: we
guarantee that our reconstructed URI string could be decoded to give
the same raw field values.
This technically violates RFC3986, which states that "URIs that differ
in the replacement of a reserved character with its corresponding
percent-encoded octet are not equivalent". Experiments show that
several HTTP server applications will attach meaning to the choice of
whether or not a particular character was percent-encoded, even when
the percent-encoding is unnecessary from the perspective of parsing
the URI into its component fields.
Fix by storing the originally encoded substrings for the path, query,
and fragment fields and using these original encoded versions when
reconstructing a URI string. The path field is also stored as a
decoded string, for use by protocols such as TFTP that communicate
using raw strings rather than URI-encoded strings. All other fields
(such as the username and password) continue to be stored only in
their decoded versions since nothing ever needs to know the originally
encoded versions of these fields.

Some vendors provide a "system MAC address" within the DSDT/SSDT, to

A full implementation would require an ACPI bytecode interpreter,

executable ACPI bytecode (rather than a fixed data structure).
