The disk partition prefix code in hdprefix.S reads the gPXE image in
tracks, not individual sectors. This means it will attempt to read
beyond the end of the image if the .hd image type is not padded to 32
KB.
This issue is affects virtualization software which may execute a .hd or
.usb image file directly - effectively running a machine with a tiny
disk containing just the gPXE image. Boot will fail when gPXE tries to
read beyond the end of disk.
[multiboot] Build memory map after shutting down and unhiding gPXE
The Multiboot memory map needs to be built after unhiding gPXE and
downloaded images from memory. Solaris faults during boot when trying
to access the ramdisk, which is hidden from the memory map while gPXE is
executing. This issue is fixed by using the memory map from after gPXE
unhides itself.

[e1000] Use the alternate MAC in NVRAM when available
The 82571 supports an alternate MAC address location in NVRAM.

[linker] Add mechanism for subsystem-dependent configuration options
It is often the case that some module of gPXE is only relevant if the
subsystem it depends on is already being included. For instance,
commands to manage wireless interfaces are quite useless if no
compiled-in driver has pulled in the wireless networking stack. There
may be a user-modifiable configuration options for these dependent
modules, but even if enabled, they should not be included when they
would be useless.
Solve this by allowing the creation of config_subsystem.c, for
configuration directives like those in the global config.c that should
only be considered when subsystem.c is included in the final gPXE
build.
For consistency, move core/config.c to the config/ directory, where
the other config_subsystem.c files will eventually reside.

[linker] Expand and correct symbol requirement macros
REQUIRE_SYMBOL() formerly used a formulation of symbol requirement
that would allow a link to succeed despite lacking a required symbol,
because it did not introduce any relocations. Fix by renaming it to
REQUEST_SYMBOL() (since the soft-requirement behavior can be useful)
and add a REQUIRE_SYMBOL() that truly requires.
Add EXPORT_SYMBOL() and IMPORT_SYMBOL() for REQUEST_SYMBOL()-like
behavior that allows one to make use of the symbol, by combining a
weak external on the symbol itself with a REQUEST_SYMBOL() of a second
symbol.

[pxebs] Consistently interpret PXE type field as little-endian

[int13] Guard against BIOSes that "fix" the drive count
Some BIOSes (observed with an AMI BIOS on a SunFire X2200) seem to
reset the BIOS drive counter at 40:75 after a failed boot attempt.
This causes problems when attempting a Windows direct-to-iSCSI
installation: bootmgr.exe calls INT 13,0800 and gets told that there
are no hard disks, so never bothers to read the MBR in order to obtain
the boot disk signature. The Windows iSCSI initiator will detect the
iBFT and connect to the target, and everything will appear to work
except for the error message "This computer's hardware may not support
booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in
the computer's BIOS menu."
Fix by checking the BIOS drive counter on every INT 13 call, and
updating it whenever necessary.
[autoboot] Ensure that an error message is always printed for a boot failure
The case of an unsupported SAN protocol will currently not result in
any error message. Fix by printing the error message at the top level
using strerror(), rather than using hard-coded error messages in the
error paths.
[susieq] Update qib_genbits.pl to handle SusieQ definitions
The latest RTL-generated register lists include (mostly redundant)
xxx_MSB values alongside xxx_LSB and xxx_RMASK, and also include
default register values.
Some subnet managers expect the GetResponse from a SetPortInfo MAD to
contain the new link state. The transition is not immediate, so we
often end up returning the previous link state. This can cause the SM
to fail to activate the port.
Fix by waiting for up to 20us for the link state transition to take
effect.
[ipoib] Mask out non-QPN bits in the IPoIB destination MAC when sending
The first byte of the IPoIB MAC address is used for flags indicating
support for "connected mode". Strip out the non-QPN bits of the first
dword when constructing the address vector for transmitted IPoIB
packets, so as not to end up passing an invalid QPN in the BTH.
[infiniband] Make node description invariant across all ports
IBA section 14.2.5.2 states that "the contents of the NodeDescription
attribute are the same for all ports on a node". Satisfy this by
using the HCA GUID rather than the port GUID to form the node
description string.
[ipv4] Ignore non-open net devices when performing routing
We do not discard routing table entries when closing an interface. It
is plausible that multiple interfaces may be on the same physical
network; if so, then we may end up in a situation whereby outbound
packets attempt to route via a closed interface.
Fix by ignoring non-open net devices in ipv4_route().
ipv4.c calculates the default subnet mask before calling
fetch_ipv4_setting() to retrieve the configured subnet mask (if any).
However, as of commit 612f4e7 "[settings] Avoid returning
uninitialised data on error in fetch_xxx_setting()",
fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero the IP address if the setting does not
exist, rather than leaving it unaltered.
Fix by fetching the setting first and calculating the default subnet
mask only if necessary.
[ipv4] Use a zero address to indicate "no gateway", rather than INADDR_NONE
ipv4.c uses a gateway address of INADDR_NONE to represent "no
gateway". It initialises the gateway address to INADDR_NONE before
calling fetch_ipv4_setting() to retrieve the configured gateway
address (if any).
However, as of commit 612f4e7 "[settings] Avoid returning
uninitialised data on error in fetch_xxx_setting()",
fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero the IP address if the setting does not
exist, rather than leaving it unaltered.
Fix by using a zero IP address to indicate "no gateway", so that a
non-existent gateway address setting will be treated as such.
The PXE type field is canonically little-endian, but the pxebs command
treats it as big-endian in converting the type number passed on the
command line to a field value to search against. Fix, to prevent the
necessity of incantations like "pxebs net0 1536" to select menu item #6.

[netdevice] Add the concept of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address
The iBFT is Ethernet-centric in providing only six bytes for a MAC
address. This is most probably an indirect consequence of a similar
design flaw in the Windows NDIS stack. (The WinOF IPoIB stack
performs all sorts of contortions in order to pretend to the NDIS
layer that it is dealing with six-byte MAC addresses.)
There is no sensible way in which to extend the iBFT without breaking
compatibility with programs that expect to parse it. Add the notion
of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address to our link layer abstraction,
so that link layers can provide their own workarounds for this
limitation.

[ath5k] Save proper cacheline size when fixing PCI configuration
