When building an EFI ROM image for which no PCI vendor/device ID is
applicable (e.g. bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efirom), the build process will
currently construct a command such as
./util/efirom -v -d -c bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efidrv \
bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efirom
which gets interpreted as a vendor ID of "-0xd" (i.e. 0xfff3, after
truncation to 16 bits).
Fix by using an explicit zero ID when no applicable ID exists, as is
already done when constructing BIOS ROM images.

The DHCP service in EC2 has been observed to occasionally stop
responding for bursts of several seconds. This can easily result in a
failed boot, since the current cloud boot script will attempt DHCP
only once.
Work around this problem by retrying DHCP in a fairly tight cycle
within the cloud boot script, and falling back to a reboot after
several failed DHCP attempts.

As of commit f1e9e2b ("[efi] Align EFI image sections by page size"),
our SectionAlignment has been increased to 4kB in order to allow for
page-level memory protection to be applied by the UEFI firmware, with
FileAlignment left at 32 bytes.
The PE specification states that the value for FileAlignment "should
be a power of 2 between 512 and 64k, inclusive", and that "if the
SectionAlignment is less than the architecture's page size, then
FileAlignment must match SectionAlignment".
Testing shows that signtool.exe will reject binaries where
FileAlignment is less than 512, unless FileAlignment is equal to
SectionAlignment. This indicates a somewhat zealous interpretation of
the word "should" in the PE specification.
Work around this interpretation by increasing FileAlignment from 32
bytes to 512 bytes, and add explanatory comments for both
FileAlignment and SectionAlignment.

The RTL8211B seems to have a bug that prevents the link from coming up
unless the MII_MMD_DATA register is cleared.
The Linux kernel driver applies this workaround (in rtl8211b_resume())
only to the specific RTL8211B PHY model, along with a matching
workaround to set bit 9 of MII_MMD_DATA when suspending the PHY.
Since we have no need to ever suspend the PHY, and since writing a
zero ought to be harmless, we just clear the register unconditionally.

The peer discovery time has a significant impact on the overall
PeerDist download speed, since each block requires an individual
discovery attempt. In most cases, a peer that responds for block N
will turn out to also respond for block N+1.
Assume that the most recently discovered peer (for any block) probably
has a copy of the next block to be discovered, thereby allowing the
peer download attempt to begin immediately.
In the case that this assumption is incorrect, the existing error
recovery path will allow for fallback to newly discovered peers (or to
the origin server).

Most RNDIS data structures include a trailing 4-byte reserved field.
For the REMOTE_NDIS_PACKET_MSG and REMOTE_NDIS_INITIALIZE_CMPLT
structures, this is an 8-byte field instead.
iPXE currently uses incorrect structure definitions with a 4-byte
reserved field in all data structures, resulting in data payloads that
overlap the last 4 bytes of the 8-byte reserved field.
RNDIS uses explicit offsets to locate any data payloads beyond the
message header, and so liberal RNDIS parsers (such as those used in
Hyper-V and in the Linux USB Ethernet gadget driver) are still able to
parse the malformed structures.
A stricter RNDIS parser (such as that found in some older Android
builds that seem to use an out-of-tree USB Ethernet gadget driver) may
reject the malformed structures since the data payload offset is less
than the header length, causing iPXE to be unable to transmit packets.
Fix by correcting the length of the reserved fields.

Provide a file "initrd.magic" via the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL
that contains the initrd file as constructed for BIOS bzImage kernels
(including injected files with CPIO headers constructed by iPXE).
This allows BIOS and UEFI kernels to obtain the exact same initramfs
image, by adding "initrd=initrd.magic" to the kernel command line.
For example:
#!ipxe
kernel boot/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.magic
initrd boot/initrd.img
initrd boot/modules/e1000.ko /lib/modules/e1000.ko
initrd boot/modules/af_packet.ko /lib/modules/af_packet.ko
boot
Do not include the "initrd.magic" file within the root directory
listing, since doing so would break software such as wimboot that
processes all files within the root directory.

Support for the zlib and gzip archive image formats is currently
included only if the IMAGE_ARCHIVE_CMD is used to enable the
"imgextract" command.
The ability to transparently execute a single-member archive image
without using the "imgextract" command renders this unintuitive: a
user wanting to gain the ability to boot a gzip-compressed kernel
image would expect to have to enable IMAGE_GZIP rather than
IMAGE_ARCHIVE_CMD.
Reverse the inclusion logic, so that archive image formats must now be
enabled explicitly (via IMAGE_GZIP and/or IMAGE_ZLIB), with the
archive image management commands dragged in as needed if any archive
image formats are enabled. The archive image management commands may
be explicitly disabled via IMAGE_ARCHIVE_CMD if necessary.
This matches the behaviour of IBMGMT_CMD and similar options, where
the relevant commands are included only when something else already
drags in the underlying feature.

The EFI PCI API takes a page count as the input to AllocateBuffer()
but a byte count as the input to Map(). There is nothing in the UEFI
specification that requires us to map exactly the allocated length,
and no systems have yet been observed that will fail if the map length
does not exactly match the allocated length. However, it is plausible
that some implementations may fail if asked to map a length that does
not match the length of the corresponding allocation.
Avoid potential future problems by always mapping the full allocated
length.

The use of jumbo frames for the Xen netfront virtual NIC requires the
use of scatter-gather ("feature-sg"), with the receive descriptor ring
becoming a list of page-sized buffers and the backend using as many
page buffers as required for each packet.
Since iPXE's abstraction of an I/O buffer does not include any sort of
scatter-gather list, this requires an extra allocation and copy on the
receive datapath for any packet that spans more than a single page.
This support is required in order to successfully boot an AWS EC2
virtual machine (with non-enhanced networking) via iSCSI if jumbo
frames are enabled, since the netback driver used in EC2 seems not to
allow "feature-sg" to be renegotiated once the Linux kernel driver
takes over.

The INT 13 extensions provide a mechanism for accessing disks using
linear (LBA) rather than C/H/S addressing. SAN protocols such as
iSCSI invariably support only linear addresses and so iPXE currently
provides LBA access to all SAN disks (with autodetection and emulation
of an appropriate geometry for C/H/S accesses).
Most BIOSes will not report support for INT 13 extensions for floppy
disk drives, and some operating systems may be confused by a floppy
drive that claims such support.
Minimise surprise by reporting the existence of support for INT 13
extensions only for non-floppy drive numbers. Continue to provide
support for all drive numbers, to avoid breaking operating systems
that may unconditionally use the INT 13 extensions without first
checking for support.
