Many UEFI NBPs expect to find an EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL installed
in addition to the EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL. Most NBPs use the
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the cached DHCP packets.
This implementation has been tested with grub.efi, shim.efi,
syslinux.efi, and wdsmgfw.efi. Some methods (such as Discover() and
Arp()) are not used by any known NBP and so have not (yet) been
implemented.
Usage notes for the tested bootstraps are:
- grub.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet, and uses no other methods.
- shim.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the cached
DHCP packet and to retrieve the next NBP via the Mtftp() method.
If shim.efi was downloaded via HTTP (or other non-TFTP protocol)
then shim.efi will blindly call Mtftp() with an HTTP URI as the
filename: this allows the next NBP (e.g. grubx64.efi) to also be
transparently retrieved by HTTP.
shim.efi can also use the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL to
retrieve files previously loaded by "imgfetch" or similar commands
in iPXE. The current implementation of shim.efi will use the
EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL only if it does not find an
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL; this patch therefore prevents this
usage of our EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. This logic could be
trivially reversed in shim.efi if needed.
- syslinux.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet. Versions 6.03 and earlier have a bug which
may cause syslinux.efi to attach to the wrong NIC if there are
multiple NICs in the system (or if the UEFI firmware supports
IPv6).
- wdsmgfw.efi (ab)uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the
cached DHCP packets, and to send and retrieve UDP packets via the
UdpWrite() and UdpRead() methods. (This was presumably done in
order to minimise the amount of benefit obtainable by switching to
UEFI, by replicating all of the design mistakes present in the
original PXE specification.)
The EFI_DOWNGRADE_UX configuration option remains available for now,
until this implementation has received more widespread testing.

Merge the functionality of parse_next_server_and_filename() and
tftp_uri() into a single pxe_uri(), which takes a server address
(IPv4/IPv6/none) and a filename, and produces a URI using the rule:
- if the filename is a hierarchical absolute URI (i.e. includes a
scheme such as "http://" or "tftp://") then use that URI and ignore
the server address,
- otherwise, if the server address is recognised (according to
sa_family) then construct a TFTP URI based on the server address,
port, and filename
- otherwise fail.

[pxe] Populate ciaddr in fake PXE Boot Server ACK packet
We currently do not populate the ciaddr field in the constructed PXE
Boot Server ACK packet. This causes a WDS server to respond with a
broadcast packet, which is then ignored by wdsmgfw.efi since it does
not match the specified IP address filter.
Fix by populating ciaddr within the constructed PXE Boot Server ACK
packet.

[efi] Do not return EFI_NOT_READY from our ReceiveFilters() method
Our SNP ReceiveFilters() method is a no-op, since we always (if
possible) use promiscuous mode for all network cards. The method
currently returns EFI_NOT_READY if the SNP interfaces are claimed for
use by iPXE, as with all other SNP methods.
The WDS bootstrap wdsmgfw.efi attempts to use both the PXE Base Code
protocol and the Simple Network Protocol simultaneously. This is
fundamentally broken, since use of the PXE Base Code protocol requires
us to disable the use of SNP (by claiming the interfaces for use by
iPXE), otherwise MnpDxe swallows all of the received packets before
our PXE Base Code's UdpRead() method is able to return them.
The root cause of this problem is that, as with BIOS PXE, the network
booting portions of the UEFI specification are less of a specification
and more of an application note sketchily describing how the original
hacked-together Intel implementation works. No sane design would ever
have included the UdpWrite() and UdpRead() methods.
Work around these fundamental conceptual flaws by unconditionally
returning success from efi_snp_receive_filters().

[pxe] Construct all fake DHCP packets before starting PXE NBP
Commit edf74df ("[pxe] Always reconstruct packet for
PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO") fixed the problems caused by returning stale
DHCP packets (e.g. from an earlier boot attempt using a different
network device), but broke interoperability with NBPs such as WDS
which may overwrite our cached (fake) DHCP packets and expect the
modified packets to be returned by a subsequent call to
PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO.
Fix by constructing the fake DHCP packets immediately before
transferring control to a PXE NBP. Calls to PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO
will now never modify the cached packets.

Commit 09b057c ("[settings] Remove "uristring" setting type") removed
support for URI-encoded settings via the "uristring" setting type, on
the basis that such encoding was no longer necessary to avoid problems
with the command line parser.
Other valid use cases for the "uristring" setting type do exist: for
example, a password containing a '/' character expanded via
chain http://username:${password:uristring}@server.name/boot.php
Restore the existence of the "uristring" setting, avoiding the
potentially large stack allocations that were used in the old code
prior to commit 09b057c ("[settings] Remove "uristring" setting

[image] Detect image type when image is first registered
The current usage pattern of image_probe() is a legacy from the time
before commit 34b6ecb ("[image] Simplify image management") when
loading an image to its executable location in memory was a separate
action from actually executing the image.
Call image_probe() as soon as an image is registered. This allows
"imgstat" to display image type information for all images and allows
image-consuming code to assume that image->type is already set
correctly.
Ignore failures if image_probe() does not recognise the image, since
we do expect to handle unrecognised images (initrds, modules, etc).
Unrecognised images will be left with a NULL image->type, which
image-consuming code can easily check.

[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.

[dhcp] Allow pseudo-DHCP servers to use pseudo-identifiers
Some ProxyDHCP servers and PXE boot servers do not specify a DHCP
server identifier via option 54. We currently work around this in a
variety of ad-hoc ways:
- if a ProxyDHCPACK has no server identifier then we treat it as
having the correct server identifier,
- if a boot server ACK has no server identifier then we use the
packet's source IP address as the server identifier.
Introduce the concept of a DHCP server pseudo-identifier, defined as
being:
- the server identifier (option 54), or
- if there is no server identifier, then the next-server address
(siaddr),
- if there is no server identifier or next-server address, then the
DHCP packet's source IP address.
Use the pseudo-identifier in place of the server identifier when
handling ProxyDHCP and PXE boot server responses.

[http] Rewrite HTTP core to support content encodings
Rewrite the HTTP core to allow for the addition of arbitrary content
encoding mechanisms, such as PeerDist and gzip.
The core now exposes http_open() which can be used to create requests
with an explicitly selected HTTP method, an optional requested content
range, and an optional request body. A simple wrapper provides the
preexisting behaviour of creating either a GET request or an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request (if the URI includes
parameters).
The HTTP SAN interface is now implemented using the generic block
device translator. Individual blocks are requested using http_open()
to create a range request.
Server connections are now managed via a connection pool; this allows
for multiple requests to the same server (e.g. for SAN blocks) to be
completely unaware of each other. Repeated HTTPS connections to the
same server can reuse a pooled connection, avoiding the per-connection
overhead of establishing a TLS session (which can take several seconds
if using a client certificate).
Support for HTTP SAN booting and for the Basic and Digest
authentication schemes is now optional and can be controlled via the
SANBOOT_PROTO_HTTP, HTTP_AUTH_BASIC, and HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST build
configuration options in config/general.h.
