Prepare for the parameter mechanism to be generalised to specifying
request parameters that are passed via mechanisms other than an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded form.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
An attempt to use an existent but empty form parameter list will
currently result in an invalid POST request since the Content-Length
header will be missing.
Fix by using GET instead of POST if the form parameter list is empty.
This is a non-breaking change (since the current behaviour produces an
invalid request), and simplifies the imminent generalisation of the
parameter list concept to handle both header and form parameters.

When the Linux kernel is being used with no initrd, iPXE will still
provide a zero-length initrd.magic file within the virtual filesystem.
As of commit 6a004be ("[efi] Support the initrd autodetection
mechanism in newer Linux kernels"), this zero-length file will also be
exposed via an EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance on a handle with a
fixed device path.
The correct handling of zero-length files via EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL
is unfortunately not well defined.
Linux expects the first call to LoadFile() to always fail with
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. When the initrd is genuinely zero-length, iPXE
will return success since the buffer is not too small to hold the
(zero-length) file. This causes Linux to immediately report a
spurious EFI_LOAD_ERROR boot failure.
We could change the logic in iPXE's efi_file_load() to always return
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL if Buffer is NULL on entry. Since the correct
behaviour of LoadFile() in the corner case of a zero-length file is
left undefined by the UEFI specification, this would be permissible.
Unfortunately this approach would not fix the problem. If we return
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL and set the file length to zero, then Linux will
call the boot services AllocatePages() method with a zero length. In
at least the EDK2 implementation, this combination of parameters will
cause AllocatePages() to return EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES, and Linux will
again report a boot failure.
Another approach would be to install the initrd device path handle
only if we have a non-empty initrd to offer. Unfortunately this would
lead to a failure in yet another corner case: if a previous bootloader
has installed an initrd device path handle (e.g. to pass a boot script
to iPXE) then we must not leave that initrd in place, since then our
loaded kernel would end up seeing the wrong initrd content.
The cleanest fix seems to be to ensure that the initrd device path
handle is installed with the EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL instance present
but with the EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL instance absent (and forcibly
uninstalled if necessary), matching the state in which we leave the
handle after uninstalling our virtual filesystem. Linux will then not
find any handle that supports EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL within the fixed
device path, and so will fall through to trying other mechanisms to
locate the initrd.

Commit 7ca801d ("[efi] Use the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL as an entropy source
if available") added EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL as an alternative entropy source
via an ad-hoc mechanism specific to efi_entropy.c.
Split out EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to a separate entropy source, and allow the
entropy core to handle the selection of RDRAND, EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL, or
timer ticks as the active source.
The fault detection logic added in commit a87537d ("[efi] Detect and
disable seriously broken EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL implementations") may be
removed completely, since the failure will already be detected by the
generic ANS X9.82-mandated repetition count test and will now be
handled gracefully by the entropy core.

As noted in commit 3c83843 ("[rng] Check for several functioning RTC
interrupts"), experimentation shows that Hyper-V cannot be trusted to
reliably generate RTC interrupts. (As noted in commit f3ba0fb
("[hyperv] Provide timer based on the 10MHz time reference count
MSR"), Hyper-V appears to suffer from a general problem in reliably
generating any legacy interrupts.) An alternative entropy source is
therefore required for an image that may be used in a Hyper-V Gen1
virtual machine.
The x86 RDRAND instruction provides a suitable alternative entropy
source, but may not be supported by all CPUs. We must therefore allow
for multiple entropy sources to be compiled in, with the single active
entropy source selected only at runtime.
Restructure the internal entropy API to allow a working entropy source
to be detected and chosen at runtime.
Enable the RDRAND entropy source for all x86 builds, since it is
likely to be substantially faster than any other source.

We currently specify only the iSCSI default value for MaxBurstLength
and ignore any negotiated value, since our internal block device API
allows only for receiving directly into caller-allocated buffers and
so we have no intrinsic limit on burst length.
A conscientious target may however refuse to attempt a transfer that
we request for a number of blocks that would exceed the negotiated
maximum burst length.
Fix by recording the negotiated maximum burst length and using it to
limit the maximum number of blocks per transfer as reported by the
SCSI layer.

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.

LoongArch64 suffers from a similar issue: GCC 13 will allow either,

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}

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.
