[xen] Provide 18 4kB receive buffers to work around xen-netback bug
The Xen network backend (xen-netback) suffered from a regression
between upstream Linux kernels 3.18 and 4.2 inclusive, which would
cause packet reception to fail unless at least 18 receive buffers were
available. This bug was fixed in kernel commit 1d5d485 ("xen-netback:
require fewer guest Rx slots when not using GSO").
Work around this bug in affected versions of xen-netback by providing
the requisite 18 receive buffers.

[iscsi] Fix iBFT when no explicit initiator name setting exists
Commit 7cfdd76 ("[block] Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tables")
changed the definition of the iSCSI initiator IQN in the iBFT to
represent a common initiator IQN used for all iSCSI sessions, and
attempted to calculate this common initiator IQN by fetching the
common ${initiator-iqn} setting.
This fails when no explicit ${initiator-iqn} has been specified
(i.e. when an initiator IQN has instead been constructed from either
the hostname or system UUID), and results in an empty initiator IQN in
the iBFT.
Fix by using the initiator IQN of an arbitrary iSCSI session
present in the iBFT.

[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.

On most Intel NICs, Auto-Speed Detection Enable (ASDE) can be used to
automatically detect the correct link speed by sampling the link using
the internal PHY. This feature is automatically inhibited when not
appropriate for the physical link (e.g. when using internal SerDes
mode on the 8254x).
On the i350 datasheet ASDE is a reserved bit, but the relevant
auto-speed detection hardware appears still to be present. However,
enabling ASDE on the i350 1000BASE-KX backplane NIC seems to cause an
immediate link failure. It is possible that the auto-speed detection
hardware is still present, is not connected to a physical link, and is
not inhibited from being applied in this mode.
Work around this problem by adding an INTEL_NO_ASDE flag bit
(analogous to INTEL_NO_PHY_RST), and applying this for the i350
backplane NIC.

[thunderx] Use ThunderxConfigProtocol to obtain board configuration
Following changes were introduced:
- added GetBgxProp and GetLmacProp methods to ThunderxConfigProtocol
- replaced direct BOARD_CFG access with usage of introduced methods
- removed redundant BOARD_CFG
- changed GUID of ThunderxConfigProtocol, as this is not compatible
with previous version
- changed UINTN* to UINT64* buffer type to fix issue on 32-bit
platforms with MAC address
This change allows us to avoid alignment of BOARD_CFG definitions

The TEST UNIT READY command is issued automatically when the device is
opened, and is not the result of a command being issued by the caller.
This is required in order that a permanent TEST UNIT READY failure can
be used to identify unusable paths in a multipath SAN device.
Since the TEST UNIT READY command is not part of the caller's command
issuing process, it is not covered by any external retry loops (such
as the main retry loop in sandev_command()).
We must therefore be prepared to retry the TEST UNIT READY command
within the SCSI layer itself. We retry only the TEST UNIT READY
command so as not to multiply the number of potential retries for
normal commands (which are already retried by sandev_command()).

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.

[scsi] Avoid duplicate call to scsicmd_close() on TEST UNIT READY failure
When the TEST UNIT READY command receives an error response, the
shutdown of the command's block data interface will result in
scsidev_ready() closing the SCSI device. This will subsequently
result in a duplicate call to scsicmd_close(), leading to an assertion
failure when list_del() is called for the second time.
Fix by removing the command from the list of outstanding commands
before shutting down the command's interfaces.

The value of ( ( x & 0x0c00 ) | 0x0c00 ) is always 0x0c00 regardless
of the value of x, and so the read_csr() is redundant. (There are no
read side effects for this register, according to the datasheet.)
This line of code originated in Linux kernel 2.3.19pre1 as
a->write_csr(ioaddr, 80, a->read_csr(ioaddr, 80) | 0x0c00);
and was modified in kernel 2.3.41pre4 to read
a->write_csr(ioaddr, 80, (a->read_csr(ioaddr, 80) & 0x0C00) | 0x0c00);
In the absence of commit messages, the intention of the code is
unclear. However, the logic resulting in a fixed value of 0x0c00 has
remained unaltered for over 17 years, and can probably be assumed to
have the correct overall result.

[infiniband] Return status code from ib_create_cq() and ib_create_qp()
Any underlying errors arising during ib_create_cq() or ib_create_qp()

debugging harder, since a debug-enabled build is required to discover
the root cause of the error.
Fix by returning a status code from these functions, thereby allowing
any underlying errors to be propagated.

[efi] Skip cable detection at initialisation where possible
We currently request cable detection in PXE_OPCODE_INITIALIZE to work
around buggy Emulex drivers (see commit c0b61ba ("[efi] Work around
bugs in Emulex NII driver")).
This causes problems with some other NII drivers (e.g. Mellanox),
which may time out if the underlying link is intrinsically slow to
come up.
Attempt to work around both problems simultaneously by requesting
cable detection only if the underlying NII driver does not support
link status reporting via PXE_OPCODE_GET_STATUS. (This is based on a
potentially incorrect assumption that the buggy Emulex drivers do not
claim to report link status via PXE_OPCODE_GET_STATUS.)

When a SCSI device is closed in error, the shutdown of the device's
block data interface will probably lead to any outstanding commands
being closed (by whichever object is currently connected to the block
data interface). However, commands remain in the list of outstanding
commands until the final reference is dropped. The result is that
scsidev_close() will make a second call to scsicmd_close() for each
command. This is harmless, but produces confusing debug messages.
Fix by treating the outstanding command list as holding an explicit
reference to each command, and removing the command from the list of
outstanding commands in scsicmd_close().

The SCSI layer currently implements a retry loop in order to retry
commands that fail due to spurious "error" conditions such as "power

this allow for retries due to other transient error conditions such as
an iSCSI target having dropped the connection due to inactivity.

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
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
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)
