[settings] Formalise notion of setting applicability
Expose a function setting_applies() to allow a caller to determine
whether or not a particular setting is applicable to a particular
settings block.
Restrict DHCP-backed settings blocks to accepting only DHCP-based
settings.
Restrict network device settings blocks to accepting only DHCP-based
settings and network device-specific settings such as "mac".

[image] Move the register_and_{select|boot}_image() functions to imgmgmt.c
These functions are used only as the "action" parameters to
imgdownload() or imgfetch(), and so belong in imgmgmt.c rather than
image.c

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.

[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.

[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.

Enhance the information collected by the function recorder to include
the call site and entry/exit counts. This allows fnrec.pl to produce
a call tree such as:
step (from core/getkey.c:46 = 0x17e90) {
ref_increment (from core/process.c:93 = 0x73ec) { }
net_step (from core/process.c:96 = 0x73f1) {
net_poll (from net/netdevice.c:741 = 0xbce6) {
netdev_poll (from net/netdevice.c:700 = 0xbc58) { }
netdev_rx_dequeue (from net/netdevice.c:709 = 0xbc65) { }
}
}
ref_decrement (from core/process.c:96 = 0x73f9) { }
}
Note that inlined functions are reported, confusingly, as extra calls
to the *containing* function. Minimise this confusion by adding the
attribute "no_instrument_function" to all functions declared as
inline. (Static functions that have been inlined autonomously by gcc
will still be problematic, but these are far fewer in number.)

[cmdline] Match user expectations for &&, ||, goto, and exit
The && and || operators should be left-associative, since that is how
they are treated in most other languages (including C and Unix
shell). For example, in the command:
dhcp net0 && goto dhcp_ok || echo No DHCP on net0
if the "dhcp net0" fails then the "echo" should be executed.
After an "exit" or a successful "goto", further commands on the same
line should never be executed. For example:
goto somewhere && echo This should never be printed
exit 0 && echo This should never be printed
exit 1 && echo This should never be printed
An "exit" should cause the current shell or script to terminate and
return the specified exit status to its caller. For example:
chain test.ipxe && echo Success || echo Failure
[in test.ipxe]
#!ipxe
exit 0
should echo "Success".

Command implementations tend to include a substantial amount of common
boilerplate code revolving around the parsing of command-line options
and arguments. This increases the size cost of each command.
Introduce an option-parsing library that abstracts out the common
operations involved in command implementations. This enables the size
of each individual command to be reduced, and also enhances
consistency between commands.
Total size of the library is 704 bytes, to be amortised across all
command implementations.

[malloc] Use list_for_each_entry_safe() when we may delete a list entry
free_memblock() currently uses list_for_each_entry() to iterate over
the free list, and may delete an entry over which it iterates. While
there is no way that the deleted list entry could be overwritten
before we reference it, this does rely upon list_del() leaving the
"next" pointer intact, which is not guaranteed. Discovered while
tracking down a list-corruption bug (as a result of having modified
list_del() to sanitise the deleted list entry).
Fix by using list_for_each_entry_safe().

[block] Replace gPXE block-device API with an iPXE asynchronous interface
The block device interface used in gPXE predates the invention of even
the old gPXE data-transfer interface, let alone the current iPXE
generic asynchronous interface mechanism. Bring this old code up to
date, with the following benefits:
o Block device commands can be cancelled by the requestor. The INT 13
layer uses this to provide a global timeout on all INT 13 calls,
with the result that an unexpected passive failure mode (such as
an iSCSI target ACKing the request but never sending a response)
will lead to a timeout that gets reported back to the INT 13 user,
rather than simply freezing the system.
o INT 13,00 (reset drive) is now able to reset the underlying block
device. INT 13 users, such as DOS, that use INT 13,00 as a method
for error recovery now have a chance of recovering.
o All block device commands are tagged, with a numerical tag that
will show up in debugging output and in packet captures; this will
allow easier interpretation of bug reports that include both
sources of information.
o The extremely ugly hacks used to generate the boot firmware tables
have been eradicated and replaced with a generic acpi_describe()
method (exploiting the ability of iPXE interfaces to pass through
methods to an underlying interface). The ACPI tables are now
built in a shared data block within .bss16, rather than each
requiring dedicated space in .data16.
o The architecture-independent concept of a SAN device has been
exposed to the iPXE core through the sanboot API, which provides
calls to hook, unhook, boot, and describe SAN devices. This
allows for much more flexible usage patterns (such as hooking an
empty SAN device and then running an OS installer via TFTP).
