In a virtual environment such as qemu, we can legitimately receive
packets less than 64 bytes in length, such as ARP replies. These are
currently discarded, causing most IPv4 communication to fail.
Fix by ignoring the RFDShort bit when receiving packets.

[bios] Use INT 16,11 instead of INT 16,01 to check for keystrokes
INT 16,01 will discard some extended keystrokes on some BIOSes, making
it impossible for iPXE to detect keypresses such as F12. Fix by using
INT 16,11 instead.

[image] Move the register_and_{select|boot}_image() functions to imgmgmt.c

[prefix] Allow iPXE's own command line to be executed as a script
Some prefixes (e.g. .lkrn) allow a command line to be passed in to
iPXE. At present, this command line is ignored.
If a command line is provided, treat it as an embedded script (without
an explicit "#!ipxe" magic marker). This allows for patterns of
invocation such as
title iPXE
kernel /boot/ipxe.lkrn dhcp && \
sanboot iscsi:10.0.4.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage
Here GRUB is instructed to load ipxe.lkrn with an embedded script
equivalent to
#!ipxe
dhcp
sanboot iscsi:10.0.4.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage
This can be used to effectively vary the embedded script without
having to rebuild ipxe.lkrn.

The "prompt" command exposes the prompt() function, allowing a script
to prompt the user for a keypress and take action depending on the

#!ipxe
prompt -k 0x197e -t 2000 Press F12 to boot from network... || exit
autoboot

Refactor the {load,exec} image operations as {probe,exec}. This makes
the probe mechanism cleaner, eliminates some forward declarations,
avoids holding magic state in image->priv, eliminates the possibility
of screwing up between the "load" and "exec" stages, and makes the
documentation simpler since the concept of "loading" (as distinct from
"executing") no longer needs to be explained.

When chainloading rtl8139.pxe from an old Etherboot rtl8139.zrom, iPXE
can end up misreading the first word of the MAC address from the
EEPROM as being all zeroes. This is presumably because Etherboot has
left the serial EEPROM in an unexpected state.
Fix by using the chip select line to reset the SPI device before we
start accessing it.

[parseopt] Refer to online documentation for command help
The online documentation (e.g. http://ipxe.org/cmd/ifopen), though not
yet complete, is far more comprehensive than could be provided within
the iPXE binary. Save around 200 bytes (compressed) by removing the
command descriptions from the interactive help, and instead referring
users directly to the web page describing the relevant command.

The default initiator IQN is "iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN".
This is problematic for two reasons:
a) the etherboot.org domain (and hence the associated IQN namespace)
is not under the control of the iPXE project, and
b) some targets (correctly) refuse to allow concurrent connections
from different initiators using the same initiator IQN.
Solve both problems by changing the default initiator IQN to be
iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<hostname> if a hostname is set, or
iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<uuid> if no hostname is set.
Explicit initiator IQNs set via DHCP option 203 are not affected by
this change.
Unfortunately, this change is likely to break some existing
configurations, where ACL rules have been put in place referring to
the old default initiator IQN. Users may need to update ACLs, or
force the use of the old IQN using an iPXE script line such as
set initiator-iqn iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN
or a dhcpd.conf option such as
option iscsi-initiator-iqn "iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN"

[settings] Make fetch_string_setting_copy() easier to use
Most callers of functions in the fetch_setting() family treat any
errors as meaning "non-existent setting". In the case of
fetch_string_setting_copy(), an existent setting can still result in
an error due to memory allocation failure.
Allow the caller to distinguish between a non-existent setting and an
error in allocating memory for the copy, by returning success (and a
NULL buffer pointer) for a non-existent setting.

[settings] Avoid fetch_string_setting_copy() leaving an uninitialised pointer

[autoboot] Allow a SAN boot as a fallback if a filename boot returns
Currently, if both a filename and root-path are present, iPXE will
hook the SAN device but will only attempt to boot from the filename.
Change this behaviour so that both are attempted. Users who want to
avoid booting from the SAN as a fallback can do so via the existing
"skip-san-boot" setting.
This allows for seamless deployment to a SAN target using Windows
Deployment Services (and similar products). A user simply has to
define the root-path option in DHCP and then use WDS to deploy the
system. No further configuration should be required.

[int13] Automatically reopen underlying block device as needed
We currently use INT 13,00 as an opportunity to reopen the underlying
block device, which works well for callers such as DOS that will use
INT 13,00 in response to any disk errors. However, some callers (such
as Windows Server 2008) do not attempt to reset the disk, and so any
failures become effectively permanent.
Fix this by automatically reopening the underlying block device
whenever we might want to access it.
This makes direct installation of Windows to an iSCSI target much more
reliable.

[prefix] Set the "size" bit in the GDT entry for the flat data segment
The "size" bit (aka the D/B) bit should (as far as I can tell) be
irrelevant for accesses to a non-code, non-stack, expand-upwards
segment. However, VirtualBox fails on some accesses via this segment
if this bit is not set.
This change allows iPXE to boot under VirtualBox without having to
disable VT-x/AMD-V support.

After a more accurate reading of RFC 3720, it becomes clear how NOPs
are supposed to work. The current implementation (which just ignores

will need to be extended before it can cope with NOP-Ins sent as iSCSI
keepalives.
