This patch makes no substantive code changes, as can be seen using a

This patch does not make the pcbios platform functional for x86_64; it

[prefix] Pad .text16 and .data16 segment sizes at build time
Commit c64747d ("[librm] Speed up real-to-protected mode transition
under KVM") rounded down the .text16 segment address calculated in
alloc_basemem() to a multiple of 64 bytes in order to speed up mode
transitions under KVM.
This creates a potential discrepancy between alloc_basemem() and
free_basemem(), meaning that free_basemem() may free less memory than
was allocated by alloc_basemem().
Fix by padding the calculated sizes of both .text16 and .data16 to a
multiple of 64 bytes at build time.

[romprefix] Report an optimistic runtime size estimate
Commit 5de45cd ("[romprefix] Report a pessimistic runtime size
estimate") set the PCI3.0 "runtime size" field equal to the worst-case
runtime size, on the basis that there is no guarantee that PMM
allocation will succeed and hence no guarantee that we will be able to
shrink the ROM image.
On a PCI3.0 system where PMM allocation would succeed, this can cause
the BIOS to unnecessarily refuse to initialise the iPXE ROM due to a
perceived shortage of option ROM space.
Fix by reporting the best-case runtime size via the PCI header, and
checking that we have sufficient runtime space (if applicable). This
allows iPXE ROMs to initialise on PCI3.0 systems that might otherwise
fail due to a shortage of option ROM space.
This may cause iPXE ROMs to fail to initialise on PCI3.0 systems where
PMM is broken. (Pre-PCI3.0 systems are unaffected since there must
already have been sufficient option ROM space available for the
initialisation entry point to be called.)
On balance, it seems preferable to avoid breaking "good" systems
(PCI3.0 with working PMM) at the cost of potentially breaking "bad"
systems (PCI3.0 with broken PMM).

When USB network card drivers are used, the BIOS' legacy USB
capability is necessarily disabled since there is no way to share the
host controller between the BIOS and iPXE.
Commit 3726722 ("[usb] Add basic support for USB keyboards") added
support allowing a USB keyboard to be used within iPXE. However,
external code such as a PXE NBP has no way to utilise this support,
and so a USB keyboard cannot be used to control a PXE NBP loaded from
a USB network card.
Add support for injecting keypresses from any iPXE console into the
BIOS keyboard buffer. This allows external code such as a PXE NBP to
function with a USB keyboard even after the BIOS' legacy USB
capability has been disabled.

[comboot] Reset console before starting COMBOOT executable
iPXE does not call shutdown() before invoking a COMBOOT executable,
since the executable is allowed to make API calls back into iPXE. If
a background picture is used, then the console will not be restored to
text mode before invoking the COMBOOT executable. This can cause
undefined behaviour.
Fix by adding an explicit call to console_reset() immediately before
invoking a COMBOOT or COM32 executable, analogous to the call made to
console_reset() immediately before invokving a PXE NBP.

[pxe] Invoke INT 1a,564e when PXE stack is activated
Invoke INT 1a,564e whenever a PXE stack is activated, passing the
address of the PXENV+ structure in %es:%bx. This is designed to allow
a BIOS to be notified when a PXE stack has been installed, providing
an opportunity for start-of-day commands such as setting the MAC
address according to a policy chosen by the BIOS.
PXE defines INT 1a,5650 as a means of locating the PXENV+ structure:
this call returns %ax=0x564e and the address of the PXENV+ structure
in %es:%bx. We choose INT 1a,564e as a fairly natural notification
call, using the parameters as would be returned by INT 1a,5650.
The full calling convention (documented as per section 3.1 of the PXE
specification) is:
INT 1a,564e - PXE installation notification
Enter:
%ax = 0x564e
%es = 16-bit segment address of the PXENV+ structure
%bx = 16-bit offset of the PXENV+ structure
Exit:
%edx may be trashed (as is the case for INT 1a,5650)
All other register contents must be preserved
CF is cleared
IF is preserved

[pxe] Warn about PXE NBPs that may be EFI executables
A relatively common user mistake is to attempt to boot an EFI
executable (such as grub.efi) using a BIOS version of iPXE.
Unfortunately there are no signature checks that we can use to
unambiguously identify a PXE NBP, since a PXE NBP is just raw machine
code. We therefore have to accept anything sufficiently small to fit
into base memory as a valid PXE NBP.
We can detect that a file might be an EFI executable by checking for
the initial "MZ" signature bytes. This does not necessarily preclude
the file from also being a PXE NBP (since it would be possible to
create a hybrid binary which acts as both an EFI executable and a PXE
NBP, similar to the way in which wimboot and the Linux kernel are
hybrid binaries which act as both an EFI executable and a bzImage).
If the initial "MZ" signature bytes are present, then attempt to warn
the user by setting the image type to "PXE-NBP (may be EFI?)". We
can't (sensibly) prevent the user from accidentally running an EFI
executable as a PXE NBP, but we can at least make it easier for the
user to identify their mistake.

[mromprefix] Report a dummy size at offset 0x02 of .mrom payload
The size of the .mrom payload (the second PCI ROM image) is defined in
its PCI header. The code type for the .mrom payload image is
deliberately set to an invalid value (0xff) to ensure that no BIOS
tries to parse anything in the image other than the PCI header.
Since the code type is not set to 0x00 ("Intel x86, PC-AT
compatible"), bytes 0x02-0x17 should not be interpreted by the BIOS as
being in the standard ISA expansion ROM format. In particular, the
byte at offset 0x02 does not represent the length of the ROM image (in
512-byte blocks).
However, some Dell BIOSes seem to erroneously use the byte at offset
0x02 to determine the length of the .mrom payload when walking the
list of PCI ROM images. Since this byte is currently set to zero,
this can lead to the BIOS getting stuck in an infinite loop during
POST. (This problem may not arise if the .mrom payload is the final
image in the ROM, since the BIOS will then have no reason to attempt
to locate the next image.)
One possible workaround would be to put the real payload size in this
byte, but doing so would constrain the .mrom payload size to 128kB
(see commit 8049a52 ("[mromprefix] Allow for .mrom images larger than
128kB") for more details).
Another possible workaround would be to put the real payload size as a
word in bytes 0x02-0x03 (as is done for EFI ROMs). This would not
constrain the .mrom payload size, but a payload size which happened to
be exactly 128kB would result in a zero value in the byte at offset
0x02 and so could still result in infinite loops on BIOSes with this
bug.
We choose to place a fixed value of 0x01 in the byte at offset 0x02.
This should at least prevent the BIOS from getting stuck in an
infinite loop. (The BIOS may walk into the middle of the .mrom
payload, where it will almost certainly not find a valid {0x55,0xaa}
signature or a valid PCIR header, and will therefore hopefully abort
processing.)

Some HP BIOSes (observed with an HP ProLiant m710p Server Cartridge)
have a bug in the implementation of INT 1a,b101: they blithely assume
that real-mode code is able to read from anywhere in the 32-bit memory
space.
This problem affects the call to INT 1a,b101 made from within
pcibios_num_bus() (which uses REAL_CODE() and hence executes in
genuine real mode) but does not affect the call made from within
romprefix.S (since with a PMM BIOS, that call executes in flat real
mode anyway).
Work around the problem by explicitly calling flatten_real_mode()
before invoking INT 1a,b101. This is a rarely-used code path, and so
the extra overhead of emulating instructions in some VM configurations
(see commit 6d4deee ("[librm] Use genuine real mode to accelerate
operation in virtual machines") for more details) is negligible.

[int13con] Add basic ability to log to a local disk via INT 13
Several popular public cloud providers do not provide any sensible
mechanism for obtaining debug output from an OS which is failing to
boot. For example, Amazon EC2 provides the "Get System Log" facility,
which occasionally deigns to report a random subset of the characters
emitted via the VM's serial port, but usually returns only a blank
screen. (Amazingly, this is still superior to the debugging
facilities provided by Azure.)
Work around these shortcomings by adding a console type which sends
output to a magically detected raw disk partition, and including such
a partition within any iPXE .usb-format image.
To use this facility:
- build an iPXE .usb image with CONSOLE_INT13 enabled
- boot the cloud VM from this image
- after the boot fails, attach the VM's boot disk to a second VM
- from this second VM, use "less -f -R /dev/sdb3" (or similar) to
view the iPXE output.
