Linux 5.7 added the ability to autodetect an initrd by searching for a
handle via a fixed vendor-specific "Linux initrd device path" and then
locating and using the EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance on that
handle.
This maps quite naturally onto our existing concept of a "magic
initrd" as introduced for EFI in commit e5f0255 ("[efi] Provide an
"initrd.magic" file for use by UEFI kernels").
Add an EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance to our EFI virtual files
(backed by simply calling the existing EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL
method to read from the file), and install the protocol instance for
the "initrd.magic" virtual file onto a new device handle that also
provides the Linux initrd device path.
The design choice in Linux of using a single fixed device path makes
this unfortunately messy to support, since device paths must be unique
within a system. When multiple bootloaders are used (e.g. GRUB
loading iPXE loading Linux) then only one bootloader can ever install
the device path onto a handle. Subsequent bootloaders must locate the
existing handle and replace the load file protocol instance with their
own.

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).

Commit 74222cd ("[rng] Check for functioning RTC interrupt") added a
check that the RTC is capable of generating interrupts via the legacy
PIC, since this mechanism appears to be broken in some Hyper-V virtual
machines.
Experimentation shows that the RTC is sometimes capable of generating
a single interrupt, but will then generate no subsequent interrupts.
This currently causes rtc_entropy_check() to falsely detect that the
entropy gathering mechanism is functional.
Fix by checking for several RTC interrupts before declaring that it is
a functional entropy source.

EISA expansion slot I/O port addresses overlap space that may be
assigned to PCI devices, which can lead to register reads and writes
with unwanted side effects during EISA probing.
Reduce the chances of performing EISA probing on PCI devices by
probing EISA slot vendor and product ID registers only if the EISA
system board vendor ID register indicates that the motherboard
supports EISA.

Over the years, the undocumented operand modifier used to produce the
unprefixed constant values in __einfo_error() has varied from "%c0" to
"%a0" in commit 1a77466 ("[build] Fix use of inline assembly on GCC
4.8 ARM64 builds") and back to "%c0" in commit 3fb3ffc ("[build] Fix
use of inline assembly on GCC 8 ARM64 builds"), according to the
evolving demands of the toolchain.
LoongArch64 suffers from a similar issue: GCC 13 will allow either,
but the currently released GCC 12 allows only the "%a0" form.

abstract away this difference and allow different architectures to use
different operand modifiers.

Add support for recording LLDP packets and exposing TLV values via the
settings mechanism. LLDP settings are encoded as
${netX.lldp/<prefix>.<type>.<index>.<offset>.<length>}
where
<type> is the TLV type
<offset> is the starting offset within the TLV value
<length> is the length (or zero to read the from <offset> to the end)
<prefix>, if it has a non-zero value, is the subtype byte string of
length <offset> to match at the start of the TLV value, up to a
maximum matched length of 4 bytes
<index> is the index of the entry matching <type> and <prefix> to be
accessed, with zero indicating the first matching entry
The <prefix> is designed to accommodate both matching of the OUI
within an organization-specific TLV (e.g. 0x0080c2 for IEEE 802.1
TLVs) and of a subtype byte as found within many TLVs.
This encoding allows most LLDP values to be extracted easily. For
example
System name: ${netX.lldp/5.0.0.0:string}
System description: ${netX.lldp/6.0.0.0:string}
Port description: ${netX.lldp/4.0.0.0:string}

RFC 2131 leaves undefined the behaviour of the client in response to a
DHCPNAK that comes from a server other than the selected DHCP server.
A substantial amount of online documentation suggests using multiple
independent DHCP servers with non-overlapping ranges in the same
subnet in order to provide some minimal redundancy. Experimentation
shows that in this setup, at least ISC dhcpd will send a DHCPNAK in
response to the client's DHCPREQUEST for an address that is not within
the range defined on that server. (Since the requested address does
lie within the subnet defined on that server, this will happen
regardless of the "authoritative" parameter.) The client will
therefore receive a DHCPACK from the selected DHCP server along with
one or more DHCPNAKs from each of the non-selected DHCP servers.
Filter out responses from non-selected DHCP servers before checking
for a DHCPNAK, so that these arguably spurious DHCPNAKs will not cause
iPXE to return to the discovery state.
Continue to check for DHCPNAK before filtering out responses for
non-selected lease addresses, since experimentation shows that the
DHCPNAK will usually have an empty yiaddr field.

The "bridge" driver introduced in 3aa6b79 ("[pci] Add minimal PCI
bridge driver") is required only for BIOS builds using the ENA driver,
where experimentation shows that we cannot rely on the BIOS to fully
assign MMIO addresses.
Since the driver is a valid PCI driver, it will end up binding to all
PCI bridge devices even on a UEFI platform, where the firmware is
likely to have completed MMIO address assignment correctly. This has
no impact on most systems since there is generally no UEFI driver for
PCI bridges: the enumeration of the whole PCI bus is handled by the
PciBusDxe driver bound to the root bridge.
Experimentation shows that at least one laptop will freeze at the
point that iPXE attempts to bind to the bridge device. No deeper
investigation has been carried out to find the root cause.
Fix by causing efipci_supported() to return an error unless the
configuration space header type indicates a non-bridge device.
