[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.

[build] Allow building PCI ROMs with device ID lists
PCI v3.0 supports a "device list" which allows the ROM to claim
support for multiple PCI device IDs (but only a single vendor ID).
Add support for building such ROMs by scanning the build target
element list and incorporating any device IDs into the ROM's device
list header. For example:
make bin/8086153a--8086153b.mrom
would build a ROM claiming support for both 8086:153a and 8086:153b.

[romprefix] Allow autoboot device filter to be disabled
Our current behaviour when booting as a ROM is to autoboot only from
devices which are attached via the PCI bus:dev.fn address passed to
the ROM's initialisation vector.
Add a build configuration option AUTOBOOT_ROM_FILTER (enabled by
default) to control this behaviour. This allows for ROMs to be built
which will attempt to boot from any detected device, even if not
attached via the original PCI bus:dev.fn address. (This is
particularly useful when building combined EHCI/xHCI ROMs for USB
network boot, since the BIOS may request a boot via the EHCI
controller but the xHCI driver will reroute the root hub ports to the
xHCI controller.)

Commit 8ab4b00 ("[libc] Rewrite setjmp() and longjmp()") introduced a
regression in which the saved values of %ebx, %esi, and %edi were all
accidentally restored into %esp. The result is that the second and
subsequent returns from setjmp() would effectively corrupt %ebx, %esi,
%edi, and the stack pointer %esp.
Use of setjmp() and longjmp() is generally discouraged: our only use
occurs as part of the implementation of PXENV_RESTART_TFTP, since the
PXE API effectively mandates its use here. The call to setjmp()
occurs at the start of pxe_start_nbp(), where there are almost
certainly no values held in %ebx, %esi, or %edi. The corruption of
these registers therefore had no visible effect on program execution.
The corruption of %esp would have been visible on return from
pxe_start_nbp(), but there are no known PXE NBPs which first call
PXENV_RESTART_TFTP and subsequently attempt to return to the PXE base
code. The effect on program execution was therefore similar to that
of moving the stack to a pseudo-random location in the 32-bit address
space; this will often allow execution to complete successfully since
there is a high chance that the pseudo-random location will be unused.
The regression therefore went undetected for around one month.
Fix by restoring the correct registers from the saved jmp_buf
structure.

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

[zbin] Fix check for existence of most recent output byte
The code in lzma_literal() checks to see if we are at the start of the
compressed input data in order to determine whether or not a most
recent output byte exists. This check is incorrect, since
initialisation of the decompressor will always consume the first five
bytes of the compressed input data.
Fix by instead checking whether or not we are at the start of the
output data stream. This is, in any case, a more logical check.
This issue was masked during development and testing since virtual
machines tend to zero the initial contents of RAM; the spuriously-read
"most recent output byte" is therefore likely to already be a zero
when running in a virtual machine.

LZMA provides significantly better compression (by ~15%) than the
current NRV2B algorithm.
We use a raw LZMA stream (aka LZMA1) to avoid the need for code to
parse the LZMA2 block headers. We use parameters {lc=2,lp=0,pb=0} to
reduce the stack space required by the decompressor to acceptable
levels (around 8kB). Using lc=3 or pb=2 would give marginally better
compression, but at the cost of substantially increasing the required
stack space.
The build process now requires the liblzma headers to be present on
the build system, since we do not include a copy of an LZMA compressor
within the iPXE source tree. The decompressor is written from scratch
(based on XZ Embedded) and is entirely self-contained within the
iPXE source.
The branch-call-jump (BCJ) filter used to improve the compressibility
is specific to iPXE. We choose not to use liblzma's built-in BCJ
filter since the algorithm is complex and undocumented. Our BCJ
filter achieves approximately the same results (on typical iPXE
binaries) with a substantially simpler algorithm.

The build process has for a long time assumed that every ROM is a PCI
ROM, and will always include the PCI header and PCI-related
functionality (such as checking the PCI BIOS version, including the
PCI bus:dev.fn address within the ROM product name string, etc.).
While real ISA cards are no longer in use, some virtualisation
environments (notably VirtualBox) have support only for ISA ROMs.
This can cause problems: in particular, VirtualBox will call our
initialisation entry point with random garbage in %ax, which we then
treat as the PCI bus:dev.fn address of the autoboot device: this
generally prevents the default boot sequence from using any network
devices.
Create .isarom and .pcirom prefixes which can be used to explicitly
specify the type of ROM to be created. (Note that the .mrom prefix
always implies a PCI ROM, since the .mrom mechanism relies on
reconfiguring PCI BARs.)
Make .rom a magic prefix which will automatically select the
appropriate PCI or ISA ROM prefix for ROMs defined via a PCI_ROM() or
ISA_ROM() macro. To maintain backwards compatibility, we default to
building a PCI ROM for anything which is not directly derived from a
PCI_ROM() or ISA_ROM() macro (e.g. bin/intel.rom).
Add a selection of targets to "make everything" to ensure that the
(relatively obscure) ISA ROM build process is included within the
per-commit QA checks.
