[vesafb] Work around data corruption bug in bochs/qemu VBE implementation
The vgabios used by bochs and qemu (and other virtualisation products)
has a bug in its implementation of INT 10,4f00 which causes the high
16 bits of %ebx and %edx to become corrupted.
The vgabios code uses a "pushaw"/"popaw" pair to preserve the low 16
bits of all non-segment registers. The vgabios code is compiled using
bcc, which generates 8086-compatible code and so never touches the
high 16 bits of the 32-bit registers. However, the function
vbe_biosfn_return_controller_information() includes the line:
size_64k = (Bit16u)((Bit32u)cur_info->info.XResolution *
cur_info->info.XResolution *
cur_info->info.BitsPerPixel) >> 19;
which generates an implicit call to the "lmulul" function. This
function is implemented in vbe.c as:
; helper function for memory size calculation
lmulul:
and eax, #0x0000FFFF
shl ebx, #16
or eax, ebx
SEG SS
mul eax, dword ptr [di]
mov ebx, eax
shr ebx, #16
ret
which modifies %eax, %ebx, and %edx (as a result of the "mul"
instruction, which places its result into %edx:%eax).
Work around this problem by marking %ebx and %edx as being clobbered
by the call to INT 10,4f00. (%eax is already used as an output
register, so does not need to be on the clobber list.)

[vesafb] Select an optimal mode, rather than the first acceptable mode
There is no requirement for VBE modes to be listed in increasing order
of resolution. With the present logic, this can cause e.g. a 1024x768
mode to be selected if the user asks for 640x480, if the 1024x768 mode
is earlier in the mode list.
Define a scoring system for modes as
score = ( width * height - bpp )
and choose the mode with the lowest score among all acceptable modes.
This should prefer to choose the mode closest to the requested
resolution, with a slight preference for higher colour depths.

[pxe] Ensure cached DHCPACK is retrieved prior to network device creation
The retrieval of the cached DHCPACK and the creation of network
devices are both currently scheduled as STARTUP_NORMAL. It is
therefore possible that the cached DHCPACK will not be retrieved in
time for cachedhcp_probe() to apply it to the relevant network device.
Fix by retrieving the cached DHCPACK at initialisation time rather
than at startup time.
As an optimisation, an unclaimed cached DHCPACK can be freed
immediately after the last network device has been created, rather
than waiting until shutdown.

[pxe] Always retrieve cached DHCPACK and apply to relevant network device
When chainloading, always retrieve the cached DHCPACK packet from the

[settings] Expose CPUID instruction via settings mechanism
Allow CPUID values to be read using the syntax
${cpuid/<register>.<function>}
For example, ${cpuid/2.0x80000001} will give the value of %ecx after
calling CPUID with %eax=0x80000001. Values for <register> are encoded
as %eax=0, %ebx=1, %ecx=2, %edx=3.
The numeric encoding is more sophisticated than described above,
allowing for settings such as the CPU model (obtained by calling CPUID
with %eax=0x80000002-0x80000004 inclusive and concatenating the values
returned in %eax:%ebx:%ecx:%edx). See the source code for details.
The "cpuvendor" and "cpumodel" settings provide easy access to these
more complex CPUID settings.
This functionality is intended to complement the "cpuid" command,
which allows for testing individual CPUID feature bits.

[settings] Clarify usage of the term "named setting"
There are currently two conflicting usages of the term "named setting"

as "net0.dhcp/ip").
Split these usages into the term "predefined setting" and "named

Our use of --gc-sections causes the linker to discard the symbols
defined by FILE_LICENCE(), meaning that the resulting licence
determination is incomplete.
We must use the KEEP() directive in the linker script to force the
linker to not discard the licence symbols. Using KEEP(*(COMMON))
would be undesirable, since there are some symbols in COMMON which we
may wish to discard.
Fix by placing symbols defined by PROVIDE_SYMBOL() (which is used by
FILE_LICENCE()) into a special ".provided" section, which we then mark
with KEEP(). All such symbols are zero-length, so there is no cost in
terms of the final binary size.
Since the symbols are no longer in COMMON, the linker will reject
symbols with the same name coming from multiple objects. We therefore
append the object name to the licence symbol, to ensure that it is
unique.

gcc 4.8 and 4.9 fail to compile pxe_call.c with the error "bp cannot
be used in asm here". Other points in the codebase which use "ebp" in
the asm clobber list do not seem to be affected.
Unfortunately gcc provides no way to specify %ebp as an output
register, so we cannot use this as a workaround. The only viable
solution is to explicitly push/pop %ebp within the asm itself. This
is ugly for two reasons: firstly, it may be unnecessary; secondly, it
may cause gcc to generate invalid %esp-relative addresses if the asm
happens to use memory operands. This specific block of asm uses no
memory operands and so will not generate invalid code.

Some versions of Linux apparently complain if initrds are not aligned
to a page boundary. Fix by changing INITRD_ALIGN from 4 bytes to 4096
bytes.
The amount of padding at the end of each initrd will now often be
sufficient to allow the cpio header to be prepended without crossing
an alignment boundary. The final location of the initrd may therefore
end up being slightly higher than the post-shuffle location.
bzimage_load_initrd() must therefore now copy the initrd body prior to
copying the cpio header, otherwise the start of the initrd body may be
overwritten by the cpio header. (Note that the guarantee that an
initrd will never need to overwrite an initrd at a higher location
still holds, since the overall length of each initrd cannot decrease
as a result of adding a cpio header.)

[lkrnprefix] Allow relocation when no initrd is present
Commit 2629b7e ("[pcbios] Inhibit all calls to INT 15,e820 and INT
15,e801 during POST") introduced a regression into .lkrn images when
used with no corresponding initrd.
Specifically, the semantics of the "maximum address for relocation"
value passed to install_prealloc() in %ebp changed so that zero became
a special value meaning "inhibit use of INT 15,e820 and INT 15,e801".
The %ebp value meaing "no upper limit on relocation" was changed from
zero to 0xffffffff, and all prefixes providing fixed values for %ebp
were updated to match the new semantics.
The .lkrn prefix provides the initrd base address as the maximum
address for relocation. When no initrd is present, this address will
be zero, and so will unintentionally trigger the "inhibit INT 15,e820
and INT 15,e801" behaviour.
Fix by explicitly setting %ebp to 0xffffffff if no initrd is present
before calling install_prealloc().
