[console] Allow usage to be defined independently for each console
Add the concept of a "console usage", such as "standard output" or
"debug messages". Allow usages to be associated with each console
independently. For example, to send debugging output via the serial
port, while preventing it from appearing on the local console:
#define CONSOLE_SERIAL CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL
#define CONSOLE_PCBIOS ( CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL & ~CONSOLE_USAGE_DEBUG )
If no usages are explicitly specified, then a default set of usages
will be applied. For example:
#define CONSOLE_SERIAL
will have the same affect as
#define CONSOLE_SERIAL CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL

iPXE exposes some extended capabilities via the PXE FILE API to allow
NBPs such as pxelinux to use protocols other than TFTP. Provide an
equivalent interface as a UEFI protocol so that EFI binaries may also
take advantage of iPXE's extended capabilities.
This can be used with a patched version of elilo, for example:

[netdevice] Allow link layer to report broadcast/multicast packets via pull()
Allow the link layer to directly report whether or not a packet is
multicast or broadcast at the time of calling pull(), rather than
relying on heuristics to determine this at a later stage.

The original EFI BOFM protocol has a design flaw that limits the size
of the table to 1kB, since the table is embedded within the
IBM_BOFM_DRIVER_CONFIGURATION_PROTOCOL structure. Version 2 of the
protocol works around this problem.

[efi] Mark SNP devices as children of EFI PCI device
Re-open the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL specifying an Attributes value of
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_CHILD_CONTROLLER. This causes the SNP devices to
be marked as children of the EFI PCI device (as shown in the "devtree"
command).
On at least one IBM blade system, this is required in order to have
the relevant drivers automatically attach to the SNP controller at
device creation time.

EFI performs its own PCI bus enumeration. Respect this, and start
controlling devices only when instructed to do so by EFI.
As a side benefit, we should now correctly create multiple SNP
instances for multi-port devices.
This should also fix the problem of failing to enumerate devices
because the PCI bridges have not yet been enabled at the time the iPXE
driver is loaded.

Add a new network driver that consumes the EFI Simple Network
Protocol. Also add a bus driver that can find the Simple Network
Protocol that iPXE was loaded from; the resulting behavior is similar
to the "undionly" driver for BIOS systems.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

[netdevice] Allow the hardware and link-layer addresses to differ in size
IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes
represent anything relating to a "hardware address".
The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same
size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address"
field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
[netdevice] Separate out the concept of hardware and link-layer addresses
The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
[netdevice] Make ll_broadcast per-netdevice rather than per-ll_protocol
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
[netdevice] Add netdev argument to link-layer push and pull handlers
In order to construct outgoing link-layer frames or parse incoming
ones properly, some protocols (such as 802.11) need more state than is
available in the existing variables passed to the link-layer protocol
handlers. To remedy this, add struct net_device *netdev as the first
argument to each of these functions, so that more information can be
fetched from the link layer-private part of the network device.
Updated all three call sites (netdevice.c, efi_snp.c, pxe_undi.c) and
both implementations (ethernet.c, ipoib.c) of ll_protocol to use the
new argument.

[tables] Redefine methods for accessing linker tables
Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries. Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.
Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.
Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.
[iobuf] Add iob_disown() and use it where it simplifies code
There are many functions that take ownership of the I/O buffer they
are passed as a parameter. The caller should not retain a pointer to
the I/O buffer. Use iob_disown() to automatically nullify the
caller's pointer, e.g.:
xfer_deliver_iob ( xfer, iob_disown ( iobuf ) );
This will ensure that iobuf is set to NULL for any code after the call
to xfer_deliver_iob().
iob_disown() is currently used only in places where it simplifies the
code, by avoiding an extra line explicitly setting the I/O buffer
pointer to NULL. It should ideally be used with each call to any
function that takes ownership of an I/O buffer. (The SSA
optimisations will ensure that use of iob_disown() gets optimised away
in cases where the caller makes no further use of the I/O buffer
pointer anyway.)
If gcc ever introduces an __attribute__((free)), indicating that use
of a function argument after a function call should generate a
warning, then we should use this to identify all applicable function
call sites, and add iob_disown() as necessary.
[efi] Expose both GUIDs for the EFI_NETWORK_INTERFACE_IDENTIFIER_PROTOCOL
At some point, it seems that someone decided to change the GUID for
the EFI_NETWORK_INTERFACE_IDENTIFIER_PROTOCOL. Current EFI builds
ignore the older GUID, older EFI builds ignore the newer GUID, so we
have to expose both.
[efi] Provide component name protocol and device path protocol interfaces
Include a minimal component name protocol so that the driver name
shows up as something other than "<UNKNOWN>" in the driver list, and a
device path protocol so that the network interface shows up as a
separate device in the device list, rather than being attached
directly to the PCI device.
Incidentally, the EFI component name protocol reaches new depths for
signal-to-noise ratio in program code. A typical instance within the
EFI development kit will use an additional 300 lines of code to
provide slightly less functionality than GNU gettext achieves with
three additional characters.
elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation
information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI
executable. It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process
and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE
image header in efiprefix.S.
elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces
the size of the gPXE EFI executable.
[efi] Use EFI-native mechanism for accessing SMBIOS table
EFI provides a copy of the SMBIOS table accessible via the EFI system
table, which we should use instead of manually scanning through the
F000:0000 segment.
EFI passes in copies of SMBIOS and other system configuration tables
via the EFI system table. Allow configuration tables to be requested
using a mechanism similar to the current method for requesting EFI
protocols.
EFI_STATUS is defined as an INTN, which maps to UINT32 (i.e. unsigned
int) on i386 and UINT64 (i.e. unsigned long) on x86_64. This would
require a cast each time the error status is printed.
Add efi_strerror() to avoid this ickiness and simultaneously enable
prettier reporting of EFI status codes.
[i386] Change [u]int32_t to [unsigned] int, rather than [unsigned] long
This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.
[netdevice] Retain and report detailed error breakdowns
netdev_rx_err() and netdev_tx_complete_err() get passed the error
code, but currently use it only in debug messages.
Retain error numbers and frequencey counts for up to
NETDEV_MAX_UNIQUE_ERRORS (4) different errors for each of TX and RX.
This allows the "ifstat" command to report the reasons for TX/RX
errors in most cases, even in non-debug builds.
[efi] Add EFI image format and basic runtime environment
We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.
EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
