Several distributions include versions of gcc that are patched to
create position-independent executables by default. These have caused
multiple problems over the years: see e.g. commits fe61f6d ("[build]
Fix compilation when gcc is patched to default to -fPIE -Wl,-pie"),
5de1346 ("[build] Apply the "-fno-PIE -nopie" workaround only to i386
builds"), 7c395b0 ("[build] Use -no-pie on newer versions of gcc"),
and decee20 ("[build] Disable position-independent code for ARM64 EFI
builds").
The build system currently attempts to work around these mildly broken
patched versions of gcc for the i386 and arm64 architectures. This
misses the relatively obscure bin-x86_64-pcbios build platform, which
turns out to also require the same workaround.
Attempt to preempt the next such required workaround by moving the
existing i386 version to apply to all platforms and all architectures,
unless -fpie has been requested explicitly by another Makefile (as is
done by arch/x86_64/Makefile.efi).

The function trace recorder build logic defaults to making "clean" a
dependency of the first build in a clean checkout. This is redundant
and causes problems if the build process spins up multiple make
invocations to handle multiple build architectures.
Fix by replacing with logic based on the known-working patterns used
for the ASSERT and PROFILE build parameters.

After a ton of tedious work, I am pleased to finally introduce full
support for ConnectX-3 cards in iPXE!
The work has been done by finding all publicly available versions of
the Mellanox Flexboot sources, cleaning them up, synthesizing a git
history from them, cleaning out non-significant changes, and
correlating with the iPXE upstream git history.
After this, a proof-of-concept diff was produced, that allowed iPXE to
be compiled with rudimentary ConnectX-3 support. This diff was over
10k lines, and contained many changes that were not part of the core
driver.
Special thanks to Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org> for answering my
barrage of questions, and helping brainstorm the development along the
way.

Hermon Ethernet work queues have more RX than TX entries, unlike most
other drivers. This is possibly the source of some stochastic

The programming documentation states that the reset magic value is
"0x00000001 (Big Endian)", and the current code matches this by using
the value 0x01000000 for the implicitly little-endian writel().
Inspection of the FlexBoot source code reveals an exciting variety of
reset values, some suggestive of confusion around endianness.
Experimentation suggests that the value 0x01000001 works reliably
across a wide range of hardware.

Some older versions of the hardware (and/or firmware) do not report an
event when an Infiniband link reaches the INIT state. The driver
works around this missing event by calling ib_smc_update() on each
event queue poll while the link is in the DOWN state.
Commit 6cb12ee ("[hermon] Increase polling rate for command
completions") addressed this by speeding up the time taken to issue
each command invoked by ib_smc_update(). Experimentation shows that
the impact is still significant: for example, in a situation where an
unplugged port is opened, the throughput on the other port can be
reduced by over 99%.
Fix by throttling the rate at which link polling is attempted.

The version of awk used in FreeBSD seems to be incapable of formatting
unsigned 32-bit integers above 0x80000000 and will silently render any
such value as 0x80000000. For example:
echo 3735928559 | awk '{printf "0x%08x", $1}'
will produce 0x80000000 instead of the correct 0xdeadbeef.
This results in an approximately 50% chance of a build ID collision
when building on FreeBSD.
Work around this problem by passing the decimal value directly in the

Some versions of objcopy will spuriously complain when asked to

Avoid these warnings by placing the .zinfo section at the very end of
the load memory address space.
Allocate non-overlapping load memory addresses for the (non-loadable)
.bss.* sections, in the hope of avoiding spurious warnings about

Calculate the build ID as a checksum over the input files. Since the
input files include $(BIN)/version.%.o which itself includes the build
target name (from which TGT_LD_FLAGS is calculated), this should be

each $(BIN)/%.tmp even within the same build run.

The eIPoIB local Ethernet MAC is currently constructed from the port
GUID. Given a base GUID/MAC value of N, Mellanox seems to populate:
Node GUID: N + 0
Port 1 GUID: N + 1
Port 2 GUID: N + 2
and
Port 1 MAC: N + 0
Port 2 MAC: N + 1
This causes a duplicate local MAC address when port 1 is configured as
Infiniband and port 2 as Ethernet, since both will derive their MAC
address as (N + 1).
Fix by using the port's Ethernet MAC as the eIPoIB local EMAC. This
is a behavioural change that could potentially break configurations
that rely on the local EMAC value, such as a DHCP server relying on
the chaddr field for DHCP reservations.

Some older versions of the hardware (and/or firmware) do not report an
event when an Infiniband link reaches the INIT state. The driver
works around this missing event by calling ib_smc_update() on each
event queue poll while the link is in the DOWN state. This results in
a very large number of commands being issued while any open Infiniband
link is in the DOWN state (e.g. unplugged), to the point that the 1ms
delay from waiting for each command to complete will noticeably affect
responsiveness.

The original EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL is not technically
required to handle the use of the Ctrl key, and the long-obsolete EFI
1.10 specification lists only backspace, tab, linefeed, and carriage
return as required. Some particularly brain-dead vendor UEFI firmware
implementations dutifully put in the extra effort of ensuring that all
other control characters (such as Ctrl-C) are impossible to type via
EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL.
Current versions of the UEFI specification mandate that the console
input handle must support both EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL and
EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL, the latter of which at least
provides access to modifier key state.
Unlike EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL, the pointer to the
EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL instance does not appear within the
EFI system table and must therefore be opened explicitly. The UEFI
specification provides no safe way to do so, since we cannot open the
handle BY_DRIVER or BY_CHILD_CONTROLLER and so nothing guarantees that
this pointer will remain valid for the lifetime of iPXE. We must
simply hope that no UEFI firmware implementation ever discovers a
motivation for reinstalling the EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL
instance.
Use EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL if available, falling back to
the existing EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_PROTOCOL otherwise.

iPXE when used as a NIC option ROM can sometimes be reloaded by the
UEFI/BIOS and any pre-initialised memory will remain loaded. When the
imgtrust command is run it sets `require_trusted_images'. Upon
reloading, iPXE tries to load the first embedded image but fails as it
is not marked trusted.
Setting this flag ensures that imgtrust with the first embedded script
is reentrant.

When booting iPXE from a filesystem (e.g. a FAT-formatted USB key) it
can be useful to have an iPXE script loaded automatically from the
same filesystem. Compared to using an embedded script, this has the
advantage that the script can be edited without recompiling the iPXE
binary.
For the BIOS version of iPXE, loading from a filesystem is handled
using syslinux (or isolinux) which allows the script to be passed to
the iPXE .lkrn image as an initrd.
For the UEFI version of iPXE, the platform firmware loads the iPXE
.efi image directly and there is currently no equivalent of the BIOS
initrd mechanism.
Add support for automatically loading a file "autoexec.ipxe" (if
present) from the root of the filesystem containing the UEFI iPXE
binary.
A combined BIOS and UEFI image for a USB key can be created using e.g.
./util/genfsimg -o usbkey.img -s myscript.ipxe \
bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi bin/ipxe.lkrn
The file "myscript.ipxe" would appear as "autoexec.ipxe" on the USB
key, and would be loaded automatically on both BIOS and UEFI systems.
