For some CPUID leaves (e.g. %eax=0x00000004), the result depends on
the input value of %ecx. Allow this subfunction number to be

e.g.
${cpuid/0.0x40.0.0x0000000b}
${cpuid/1.0x40.0.0x0000000b}

[hyperv] Cope with Windows Server 2016 enlightenments
An "enlightened" external bootloader (such as Windows Server 2016's
winload.exe) may take ownership of the Hyper-V connection before all
INT 13 operations have been completed. When this happens, all VMBus
devices are implicitly closed and we are left with a non-functional
network connection.
Detect when our Hyper-V connection has been lost (by checking the
SynIC message page MSR). Reclaim ownership of the Hyper-V connection
and reestablish any VMBus devices, without disrupting any existing
iPXE state (such as IPv4 settings attached to the network device).
Windows Server 2016 will not cleanly take ownership of an active
Hyper-V connection. Experimentation shows that we can quiesce by
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.

[block] Allow use of a non-default EFI SAN boot filename
Some older operating systems (e.g. RHEL6) use a non-default filename
on the root disk and rely on setting an EFI variable to point to the
bootloader. This does not work when performing a SAN boot on a
machine where the EFI variable is not present.
Fix by allowing a non-default filename to be specified via the
"sanboot --filename" option or the "san-filename" setting. For
example:
sanboot --filename \efi\redhat\grub.efi \
iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6
or
option ipxe.san-filename code 188 = string;
option ipxe.san-filename "\\efi\\redhat\\grub.efi";
option root-path "iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6";

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.

[int13con] Avoid overwriting random portions of SAN boot disks
The INT13 console type (CONSOLE_INT13) autodetects at initialisation
time a magic partition to be used for logging iPXE console output. If
the INT13 drive number mapping is subsequently changed (e.g. because
iPXE was used to perform a SAN boot), then the console logging output
will be written to the incorrect disk.
Fix by recording the INT13 vector at initialisation time, and using
this original vector to emulate INT13 calls for all subsequent
accesses. This should be robust against drive remapping performed
either by ourselves or by another bootloader (e.g. a chainloaded
undionly.kpxe which then performs a SAN boot).

[hyperv] Provide timer based on the 10MHz time reference count MSR

initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line

[undi] Try matching UNDI ROMs in BIOS enumeration order
When searching for an UNDI ROM to match against a PCI device, search
in order of increasing ROM address (within the 128kB BIOS option ROM
area). This is likely (though not guaranteed) to match the order of
the original enumeration performed by the BIOS, which is in turn
likely to match the order of enumeration on the PCI bus.
Since we load at most one UNDI ROM, the net result is that we increase
our chances of loading the ROM corresponding to the selected PCI
device (rather than loading a ROM corresponding to a higher-numbered
PCI device with the same vendor and device IDs.)

The "progress" macro can be used only from within the .prefix section.
At the point of calling relocate(), we are running in .text16 and so
the near call to print_message() will end up calling a random function
somewhere in .text16.
Interestingly, this problem has remained unnoticed for some time. It
is rare to build with DEBUG=libprefix. In the few cases that it has
been used during development, the randomly selected function in
.text16 seems to have been a harmless no-op with no visible
side-effects (beyond the unnoticed failure to print the "relocate"
progress message).

[romprefix] Avoid using PMM-allocated memory in UNDI loader entry point
The UNDI loader entry point is very likely to be called after POST,
when there is a high chance that the PMM-allocated image source area
and decompression area have been reused by something else.
In particular, using an iPXE .iso to test a separate iPXE ROM's UNDI
loader entry point in a qemu VM is likely to crash. SeaBIOS allocates
PMM blocks from close to the top of memory and so these blocks have a
high chance of colliding with the runtime addresses subsequently
chosen by the non-ROM iPXE by scanning the INT 15,e820 memory map.
The standard romprefix.S has no choice about relying on the
PMM-allocated image source area, since it has no other way to retrieve
its compressed payload.
In mromprefix.S, the image source area functions only as an optional
buffer used to avoid repeated reads from the (potentially slow)
expansion ROM BAR by the decompression code. We can therefore always
set %esi=0 when calling install_prealloc from the UNDI loader entry
point, and simply fall back to reading directly from the expansion ROM
BAR.
We can always set %edi=0 when calling install_prealloc from the UNDI
loader entry point. This will behave as though the decompression area
PMM allocation failed, and will therefore use INT 15,88 to find a
temporary decompression area somewhere close to 64MB. This is by no
means guaranteed to be safe from collisions, but it's probably safer
on balance than the PMM-allocated address.

[librm] Conditionalize the workaround for the Tivoli VMM's SSE garbling
Commit 71560d1 ("[librm] Preserve FPU, MMX and SSE state across calls
to virt_call()") added FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions to iPXE. In
KVM virtual machines, these instructions execute fine as long as the
host CPU supports the "unrestricted_guest" feature (that is, it can
virtualize big real mode natively). On older host CPUs however, KVM
has to emulate big real mode, and it currently doesn't implement
FXSAVE emulation.
Upstream QEMU rebuilt iPXE at commit 0418631 ("[thunderx] Fix
compilation with older versions of gcc") which is a descendant of
commit 71560d1 (see above).
This was done in QEMU commit ffdc5a2 ("ipxe: update submodule from
4e03af8ec to 041863191"). The resultant binaries were bundled with
the QEMU v2.7.0 release; see QEMU commit c52125a ("ipxe: update
prebuilt binaries").
This distributed the iPXE workaround for the Tivoli VMM bug to a
number of KVM users with old host CPUs, causing KVM emulation failures
(guest crashes) for them while netbooting.
Make the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions conditional on a new feature
test macro called TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND. Define the macro by default.
There is prior art for an assembly file including config/general.h:
see arch/x86/prefix/romprefix.S. Also, TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND seems to
be a good fit for the "Obscure configuration options" section in
config/general.h.

On some platforms (observed in a small subset of Microsoft Azure
(Hyper-V) virtual machines), the RTC appears to be incapable of
generating an interrupt via the legacy PIC. The RTC status registers
show that a periodic interrupt has been asserted, but the PIC IRR
shows that IRQ8 remains inactive.
On such systems, iPXE will currently freeze during the "iPXE
initialising devices..." message.
Work around this problem by checking that RTC interrupts are being
raised before returning from rtc_entropy_enable(). If no interrupt is
seen within 100ms, then we assume that the RTC interrupt mechanism is
broken. In these circumstances, iPXE will continue to initialise but
any subsequent attempt to generate entropy will fail. In particular,
HTTPS connections will fail with an error indicating that no entropy
is available.

[pxe] Disable interrupts on the PIC before starting NBP
Some BIOSes (observed with an HP Gen9) seem to spuriously enable
interrupts at the PIC. This causes problems with NBPs such as GRUB
which use the UNDI API (thereby enabling interrupts on the NIC)
without first hooking an interrupt service routine. In this
situation, the interrupt will end up being handled by the default BIOS
ISR, which will typically just send an EOI and return. Since nothing
in this handler causes the NIC to deassert the interrupt, this will
result in an interrupt storm.
Entertainingly, some BIOSes are immune to this problem because the
default ISR sends the EOI only to the slave PIC; this effectively
disables the interrupt.
Work around this problem by disabling the interrupt on the PIC before
invoking the PXE NBP. An NBP that expects to make use of interrupts
will need to be configuring the PIC anyway, so it is probably safe to
assume that it will explicitly reenable the interrupt.
