The definition of version_response channel message in Linux doesn't
include version field, so the upcoming VMBus implementation in QEMU
doesn't set it either. Neither Windows nor Linux had any problem with
this.
The check against this field is redundant because the message is the
response to initiate_contact message containing the specific version
requested, so the response with version_supported=true is unambiguous.

When booting some versions of the UEFI shell, our driver binding

Since our Supported() method can run at any TPL, fix by simply not

Commit c89a446 ("[efi] Run at TPL_CALLBACK to protect against UEFI

When the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL is not present, we fall back to using timer
interrupts (as for the BIOS build). Since timer interrupts are
disabled at TPL_CALLBACK, WaitForEvent() fails and no entropy can be
gathered.
Fix by dropping to TPL_APPLICATION while entropy gathering is enabled.

As noted in the comments, UEFI manages to combines the all of the
worst aspects of both a polling design (inefficiency and inability to
sleep until something interesting happens) and of an interrupt-driven
design (the complexity of code that could be preempted at any time,
thanks to UEFI timers).
This causes problems in particular for UEFI USB keyboards: the
keyboard driver calls UsbAsyncInterruptTransfer() to set up a periodic
timer which is used to poll the USB bus. This poll may interrupt a
critical section within iPXE, typically resulting in list corruption
and either a hang or reboot.
Work around this problem by mirroring the BIOS design, in which we run
with interrupts disabled almost all of the time.

An "enlightened" external bootloader (such as Windows Server 2016's

iPXE state (such as IPv4 settings attached to the network device).
Windows Server 2016 will not cleanly take ownership of an active

resetting only the SynIC message page MSR; this results in a
successful SAN boot (on a Windows 2012 R2 physical host). Choose to
quiesce by resetting (almost) all MSRs, in the hope that this will be
more robust against corner cases such as a stray synthetic interrupt
occurring during the handover.

Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tables such as the iBFT. For tables
that can describe only a single device (i.e. the aBFT and sBFT), one
table is installed per device. For multi-device tables (i.e. the
iBFT), all devices are described in a single table.
An underlying SAN device connection may be closed at the time that we
need to construct an ACPI table. We therefore introduce the concept
of an "ACPI descriptor" which enables the SAN boot code to maintain an
opaque pointer to the underlying object, and an "ACPI model" which can
build tables from a list of such descriptors. This separates the
lifecycles of ACPI descriptions from the lifecycles of the block
device interfaces, and allows for construction of the ACPI tables even
if the block device interface has been closed.
For a multipath SAN device, iPXE will wait until sufficient
information is available to describe all devices but will not wait for
all paths to connect successfully. For example: with a multipath
iSCSI boot iPXE will wait until at least one path has become available
and name resolution has completed on all other paths. We do this
since the iBFT has to include IP addresses rather than DNS names. We
will commence booting without waiting for the inactive paths to either
become available or close; this avoids unnecessary boot delays.
Note that the Linux kernel will refuse to accept an iBFT with more
than two NIC or target structures. We therefore describe only the
NICs that are actually required in order to reach the described
targets. Any iBFT with at most two targets is therefore guaranteed to
describe at most two NICs.

EFI provides no clean way for device drivers to shut down in
preparation for handover to a booted operating system. The platform
firmware simply doesn't bother to call the drivers' Stop() methods.
Instead, drivers must register an EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES event
to be signalled when ExitBootServices() is called, and clean up
without any reference to the EFI driver model.
Unfortunately, all timers silently stop working when ExitBootServices()
is called. Even more unfortunately, and for no discernible reason,
this happens before any EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES events are
signalled. The net effect of this entertaining design choice is that
any timeout loops on the shutdown path (e.g. for gracefully closing
outstanding TCP connections) may wait indefinitely.
There is no way to report failure from currticks(), since the API
lazily assumes that the host system continues to travel through time
in the usual direction. Work around EFI's violation of this
assumption by falling back to a simple free-running monotonic counter.

In edk2, there are several drivers that associate HII forms (and
corresponding config access protocol instances) with each individual
network device. (In this context, "network device" means the EFI
handle on which the SNP protocol is installed, and on which the device
path ending with the MAC() node is installed also.) Such edk2 drivers
are, for example: Ip4Dxe, HttpBootDxe, VlanConfigDxe.
In UEFI, any given handle can carry at most one instance of a specific
protocol (see e.g. the specification of the InstallProtocolInterface()
boot service). This implies that the class of drivers mentioned above
can't install their EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL instances on the
SNP handle directly -- they would conflict with each other.
Accordingly, each of those edk2 drivers creates a "private" child
handle under the SNP handle, and installs its config access protocol
(and corresponding HII package list) on its child handle.
The device path for the child handle is traditionally derived by
appending a Hardware Vendor Device Path node after the MAC() node.
The VenHw() nodes in question consist of a GUID (by definition), and
no trailing data (by choice). The purpose of these VenHw() nodes is
only that all the child nodes can be uniquely identified by device
path.
At the moment iPXE does not follow this pattern. It doesn't run into
a conflict when it installs its EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL
directly on the SNP handle, but that's only because iPXE is the sole
driver not following the pattern. This behavior seems risky (one
might call it a "latent bug"); better align iPXE with the edk2 custom.

The SNP device path includes the network device's MAC address within

copy using the length of the destination buffer.
At 32 bytes, the MacAddress field is actually larger than the current
maximum iPXE link-layer address. The copy therefore overflows the
source buffer, resulting in trailing garbage bytes being appended to
the device path's MacAddress. This is invisible in debug messages,
since the DevicePathToText protocol will render only the length

The EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL's ExtractConfig() method is passed
a request string which includes the parameters being queried plus an
apparently meaningless blob of information (the ConfigHdr), and is
expected to include this same meaningless blob of information in the
results string.
Neither the specification nor the existing EDK2 code (including the
nominal reference implementation in the DriverSampleDxe driver)
provide any reason for the existence of this meaningless blob of
information. It appears to be consumed in its entirety by the
EFI_HII_CONFIG_ROUTING_PROTOCOL, and to contain zero bits of
information by the time it reaches an EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL
instance. It would potentially allow for multiple configuration data
sets to be handled by a single EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL
instance, in a style alien to the rest of the UEFI specification
(which implicitly assumes that the instance pointer is always
sufficient to uniquely identify the instance).
iPXE currently handles this by simply copying the ConfigHdr from the
request string to the results string, and otherwise ignoring it. This
approach is also used by some code in EDK2, such as OVMF's PlatformDxe
driver.
As of EDK2 commit 8a45f80 ("MdeModulePkg: Make HII configuration
settings available to OS runtime"), this causes an assertion failure
inside EDK2. The failure arises when iPXE is handled a NULL request
string, and responds (as per the specification) with a results string
including all settings. Since there is no meaningless blob to copy
from the request string, there is no corresponding meaningless blob in
the results string. This now causes an assertion failure in
HiiDatabaseDxe's HiiConfigRoutingExportConfig().
The same failure does not affect the OVMF PlatformDxe driver, which
simply passes the request string to the HII BlockToConfig() utility
function. The BlockToConfig() function returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER
when passed a null request string, and PlatformDxe propagates this
error directly to the caller.
Fix by matching the behaviour of OVMF's PlatformDxe driver: explicitly
return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER if the request string is NULL or empty.
This violates the specification (insofar as it is feasible to
determine what the specification actually requires), but causes
correct behaviour with the EDK2 codebase.

Provide access to local files via the "file://" URI scheme. There are

Many UEFI NBPs expect to find an EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL installed
in addition to the EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL. Most NBPs use the
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the cached DHCP packets.
This implementation has been tested with grub.efi, shim.efi,
syslinux.efi, and wdsmgfw.efi. Some methods (such as Discover() and
Arp()) are not used by any known NBP and so have not (yet) been
implemented.
Usage notes for the tested bootstraps are:
- grub.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet, and uses no other methods.
- shim.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the cached
DHCP packet and to retrieve the next NBP via the Mtftp() method.
If shim.efi was downloaded via HTTP (or other non-TFTP protocol)
then shim.efi will blindly call Mtftp() with an HTTP URI as the
filename: this allows the next NBP (e.g. grubx64.efi) to also be
transparently retrieved by HTTP.
shim.efi can also use the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL to
retrieve files previously loaded by "imgfetch" or similar commands
in iPXE. The current implementation of shim.efi will use the
EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL only if it does not find an
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL; this patch therefore prevents this
usage of our EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. This logic could be
trivially reversed in shim.efi if needed.
- syslinux.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet. Versions 6.03 and earlier have a bug which
may cause syslinux.efi to attach to the wrong NIC if there are
multiple NICs in the system (or if the UEFI firmware supports
IPv6).
- wdsmgfw.efi (ab)uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the
cached DHCP packets, and to send and retrieve UDP packets via the
UdpWrite() and UdpRead() methods. (This was presumably done in
order to minimise the amount of benefit obtainable by switching to
UEFI, by replicating all of the design mistakes present in the
original PXE specification.)
The EFI_DOWNGRADE_UX configuration option remains available for now,
until this implementation has received more widespread testing.

Our SNP ReceiveFilters() method is a no-op, since we always (if
possible) use promiscuous mode for all network cards. The method
currently returns EFI_NOT_READY if the SNP interfaces are claimed for
use by iPXE, as with all other SNP methods.
The WDS bootstrap wdsmgfw.efi attempts to use both the PXE Base Code
protocol and the Simple Network Protocol simultaneously. This is
fundamentally broken, since use of the PXE Base Code protocol requires
us to disable the use of SNP (by claiming the interfaces for use by
iPXE), otherwise MnpDxe swallows all of the received packets before
our PXE Base Code's UdpRead() method is able to return them.
The root cause of this problem is that, as with BIOS PXE, the network
booting portions of the UEFI specification are less of a specification
and more of an application note sketchily describing how the original
hacked-together Intel implementation works. No sane design would ever
have included the UdpWrite() and UdpRead() methods.

We require the ability to disconnect from and reconnect to VMBus; if
we don't have this then there is no (viable) way for a loaded
operating system to continue to use any VMBus devices. (There is also
a small but non-zero risk that the host will continue to write to our
interrupt and monitor pages, since the VMBUS_UNLOAD message in earlier
versions is essentially a no-op.)
This requires us to ensure that the host supports protocol version 3.0
(VMBUS_VERSION_WIN8_1). However, we can't actually _use_ protocol
version 3.0, since doing so causes an iSCSI-booted Windows Server 2012
R2 VM to crash due to a NULL pointer dereference in vmbus.sys.
To work around this problem, we first ensure that we can connect using
protocol v3.0, then disconnect and reconnect using the oldest known
protocol.
This deliberately prevents the use of the iPXE native Hyper-V drivers
on older versions of Hyper-V, where we could use our drivers but in so
doing would break the loaded operating system.

The (undocumented) VMBus protocol seems to allow for transfer
page-based packets where the data payload is split into an arbitrary
set of ranges within the transfer page set.
The RNDIS protocol includes a length field within the header of each
message, and it is known from observation that multiple RNDIS messages
can be concatenated into a single VMBus message.
iPXE currently assumes that the transfer page range boundaries are
entirely arbitrary, and uses the RNDIS header length to determine the
RNDIS message boundaries.
Windows Server 2012 R2 generates an RNDIS_INDICATE_STATUS_MSG for an
undocumented and unknown status code (0x40020006) with a malformed
RNDIS header length: the length does not cover the StatusBuffer
portion of the message. This causes iPXE to report a malformed RNDIS
message and to discard any further RNDIS messages within the same
VMBus message.
The Linux Hyper-V driver assumes that the transfer page range
boundaries correspond to RNDIS message boundaries, and so does not
notice the malformed length field in the RNDIS header.
Match the behaviour of the Linux Hyper-V driver: assume that the
transfer page range boundaries correspond to the RNDIS message
boundaries and ignore the RNDIS header length. This avoids triggering
the "malformed packet" error and also avoids unnecessary data copying:
since we now have one I/O buffer per RNDIS message, there is no longer
any need to use iob_split().

Under some circumstances (e.g. if iPXE itself is booted via iSCSI, or
after an unclean reboot), the backend may not be in the expected
InitWait state when iPXE starts up.
There is no generic reset mechanism for Xenbus devices. Recent
versions of xen-netback will gracefully perform all of the required
steps if the frontend sets its state to Initialising. Older versions
(such as that found in XenServer 6.2.0) require the frontend to
transition through Closed before reaching Initialising.
Add a reset mechanism for netfront devices which does the following:
- read current backend state
- if backend state is anything other than InitWait, then set the
frontend state to Closed and wait for the backend to also reach
Closed
- set the frontend state to Initialising and wait for the backend to
reach InitWait.

Using version 1 grant tables limits guests to using 16TB of grantable
RAM, and prevents the use of subpage grants. Some versions of the Xen
hypervisor refuse to allow the grant table version to be set after the
first grant references have been created, so the loaded operating
system may be stuck with whatever choice we make here. We therefore
currently use version 2 grant tables, since they give the most
flexibility to the loaded OS.
Current versions (7.2.0) of the Windows PV drivers have no support for
version 2 grant tables, and will merrily create version 1 entries in
what the hypervisor believes to be a version 2 table. This causes
some confusion.
Avoid this problem by attempting to use version 1 tables, since
otherwise we may render Windows unable to boot.
Play nicely with other potential bootloaders by accepting either
version 1 or version 2 grant tables (if we are unable to set our
requested version).
Note that the use of version 1 tables on a 64-bit system introduces a
possible failure path in which a frame number cannot fit into the
32-bit field within the v1 structure. This in turn introduces
additional failure paths into netfront_transmit() and
netfront_refill_rx().

We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP
API only if RX queue processing has been frozen. (This is similar in
spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network
device currently exposed via the PXE API.)
The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX
queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP.
This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other
than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via
SNP).
We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via
the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and
so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway.
We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to
indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or
available for use via SNP. Using a global flag allows the default
state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly.

The EFI FAT filesystem driver has a bug: if a block device contains no
FAT filesystem but does have an EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL
instance, the FAT driver will assume that it must have previously
installed the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. This causes the FAT
driver to claim control of our device, and to refuse to stop driving
it, which prevents us from later uninstalling correctly.
Work around this bug by opening the disk I/O protocol ourselves,
thereby preventing the FAT driver from opening it.
Note that the alternative approach of opening the block I/O protocol
(and thereby in theory preventing DiskIo from attaching to the block
I/O protocol) causes an endless loop of calls to our DRIVER_STOP

iPXE uses currticks() (along with the MAC address(es) of any network
devices) to seed the (non-cryptographic) random number generator. The
current implementation of linux_currticks() ensures that the first
call to currticks() will always return zero; this results in identical
random number sequences on each run of iPXE on a given machine. This
can cause odd-looking behaviour due to e.g. the reuse of local TCP
port numbers.
Fix by effectively rounding down the start time recorded by
linux_currticks() to the nearest whole second; this makes it unlikely
that consecutive runs of iPXE will use the exact same RNG sequence.
(Note that none of this affects the cryptographic RNG, which uses
/dev/random as a source of entropy.)

to the first instance (and so matching existing behaviour).

iPXE allows access to general SMBIOS settings using the syntax:
smbios/<type>.<offset>.<length>
This provides access to any fixed-offset field within an SMBIOS
structure. This syntax is currently overloaded to interpret a zero
<length> as meaning that the byte at <offset> contains a string index;
this provides access to SMBIOS strings (which are not located at fixed
offsets).
The "OEM Strings" SMBIOS structure contains strings which are not
referenced by any fixed string index field within the structure. iPXE
currently provides no way to access these strings.
Fix by overloading the syntax for numerical SMBIOS settings to
interpret an <offset> of zero as implying that <length> contains a
literal string index. The OEM Strings can then be accessed using:
smbios/11.0.1
smbios/11.0.2
smbios/11.0.3
...
The actual byte at offset zero will always contain the structure type,
which is already known since it must be specified in order to access
the structure. There is thus no plausible existing use case for an
offset of zero; overloading the syntax in this way should therefore
not break compatibility with any existing scripts.
The corner case where both <offset> and <length> are zero is undefined
(and, for now, will simply return a "not found" error).

EFI_PCI_DEVICE_ENABLE is a list of the standard attributes that must
be enabled for a PCI device to function: I/O cycles, memory cycles,

with the parameter EFI_PCI_DEVICE_ENABLE to enable a PCI device. This
should translate to a single write to PCI configuration space.
Simplicity is not a virtue within the UEFI world. Some platforms will
'helpfully' report an error if EFI_PCI_DEVICE_ENABLE is used on a
device that doesn't actually support all three of the relevant
attributes. For example, if a PCI device provides only memory-mapped
accesses (and so hardwires the I/O enable bit to zero), then using
EFI_PCI_DEVICE_ENABLE on such a platform will result in an
EFI_UNSUPPORTED error.
There is no plausible use case in which it is useful for the platform
to return an error in this way, and doing so makes it impossible to
distinguish genuine errors from noise.

field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
In order to construct outgoing link-layer frames or parse incoming
ones properly, some protocols (such as 802.11) need more state than is
available in the existing variables passed to the link-layer protocol
handlers. To remedy this, add struct net_device *netdev as the first
argument to each of these functions, so that more information can be
fetched from the link layer-private part of the network device.
Updated all three call sites (netdevice.c, efi_snp.c, pxe_undi.c) and
both implementations (ethernet.c, ipoib.c) of ll_protocol to use the
new argument.

Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries. Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.
Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.
Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.
There are many functions that take ownership of the I/O buffer they
are passed as a parameter. The caller should not retain a pointer to
the I/O buffer. Use iob_disown() to automatically nullify the
caller's pointer, e.g.:
xfer_deliver_iob ( xfer, iob_disown ( iobuf ) );
This will ensure that iobuf is set to NULL for any code after the call
to xfer_deliver_iob().
iob_disown() is currently used only in places where it simplifies the
code, by avoiding an extra line explicitly setting the I/O buffer
pointer to NULL. It should ideally be used with each call to any
function that takes ownership of an I/O buffer. (The SSA
optimisations will ensure that use of iob_disown() gets optimised away
in cases where the caller makes no further use of the I/O buffer
pointer anyway.)
If gcc ever introduces an __attribute__((free)), indicating that use
of a function argument after a function call should generate a
warning, then we should use this to identify all applicable function
call sites, and add iob_disown() as necessary.
At some point, it seems that someone decided to change the GUID for
the EFI_NETWORK_INTERFACE_IDENTIFIER_PROTOCOL. Current EFI builds
ignore the older GUID, older EFI builds ignore the newer GUID, so we
have to expose both.
Include a minimal component name protocol so that the driver name
shows up as something other than "<UNKNOWN>" in the driver list, and a
device path protocol so that the network interface shows up as a
separate device in the device list, rather than being attached
directly to the PCI device.
Incidentally, the EFI component name protocol reaches new depths for
signal-to-noise ratio in program code. A typical instance within the
EFI development kit will use an additional 300 lines of code to
provide slightly less functionality than GNU gettext achieves with
three additional characters.
elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation
information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI
executable. It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process
and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE
image header in efiprefix.S.
elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces
the size of the gPXE EFI executable.
EFI provides a copy of the SMBIOS table accessible via the EFI system
table, which we should use instead of manually scanning through the
F000:0000 segment.
EFI passes in copies of SMBIOS and other system configuration tables
via the EFI system table. Allow configuration tables to be requested
using a mechanism similar to the current method for requesting EFI
protocols.
EFI_STATUS is defined as an INTN, which maps to UINT32 (i.e. unsigned
int) on i386 and UINT64 (i.e. unsigned long) on x86_64. This would
require a cast each time the error status is printed.
Add efi_strerror() to avoid this ickiness and simultaneously enable
prettier reporting of EFI status codes.
This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.
netdev_rx_err() and netdev_tx_complete_err() get passed the error
code, but currently use it only in debug messages.
Retain error numbers and frequencey counts for up to
NETDEV_MAX_UNIQUE_ERRORS (4) different errors for each of TX and RX.
This allows the "ifstat" command to report the reasons for TX/RX
errors in most cases, even in non-debug builds.
EFI requires us to be able to specify the source address for
individual transmitted packets, and to be able to extract the
destination address on received packets.
Take advantage of this to rationalise the push() and pull() methods so
that push() takes a (dest,source,proto) tuple and pull() returns a
(dest,source,proto) tuple.
We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.
EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
At least one Dell system calls the UNDI loader entry point with the
BIOS console disabled. The serial console is active only after a call
to initialise(), so move the debug message in undi_loader() so that it
can be displayed via the serial console.
Determine the network-layer packet type and fill it in for UNDI
clients. This is required by some NBPs such as emBoot's winBoot/i.
This change requires refactoring the link-layer portions of the
gPXE netdevice API, so that it becomes possible to strip the
link-layer header without passing the packet up the network stack.
