[romprefix] Store boot bus:dev.fn address as autoboot device location
Per the BIOS Boot Specification, the initialization phase of the ROM
is called with the PFA (PCI Function Address) in the %ax register.
The intention is that the ROM code will store that device address
somewhere and use it for booting from that device when the Boot Entry
Vector (BEV) is called. iPXE does store the PFA, but doesn't use it
to select the boot network device. This renders BIOS IPL lists fairly
ineffective.
Fix by using the BBS-specified bus:dev.fn address as the autoboot
device location.

[autoboot] Enable infrastructure to specify an autoboot device location
iPXE will currently attempt to boot from every network device for
which it has a driver. Where a system has more than one network
device supported by iPXE, this renders BIOS IPL lists ineffective.
Allow an autoboot device location to be specified. If such a location
is specified, then only devices matching that location will be used as
part of the automatic boot sequence. If no such location is
specified, then all devices will be used.
Note that this does not affect the "autoboot" command, which will
continue to use all devices.

[romprefix] Allow ROM banner timeout to be configured independently
iPXE currently prints a "Press Ctrl-B" banner twice: once when the ROM
is first called for initialisation and again if we attempt to boot
from the ROM. This slows boot, especially when the NIC is not the
primary boot device. Tools such as libguestfs make use of QEMU VMs
for performing maintenance on disk images and may make use of NICs in
the VM for network support. If iPXE introduces a static init-time
delay, that directly translates to increased runtime for the tools.
Fix by allowing the ROM banner timeout to be configured independently
of the main banner timeout.

Add support for parsing of URIs containing literal IPv6 addresses
(e.g. "http://[fe80::69ff:fe50:5845%25net0]/boot.ipxe").
Duplicate URIs by directly copying the relevant fields, rather than by
formatting and reparsing a URI string. This relaxes the requirements
on the URI formatting code and allows it to focus on generating
human-readable URIs (e.g. by not escaping ':' characters within
literal IPv6 addresses). As a side-effect, this allows relative URIs
containing parameter lists (e.g. "../boot.php##params") to function
as expected.
Add validity check for FTP paths to ensure that only printable
characters are accepted (since FTP is a human-readable line-based
protocol with no support for character escaping).
Construct TFTP next-server+filename URIs directly, rather than parsing
a constructed "tftp://..." string,
Add self-tests for URI functions.

Commit b5f5f73 ("[cmdline] Expand settings within each command-line
token individually") effectively rendered the "uristring" setting type
obsolete, since strings containing whitespace no longer break the
command line parser. The concept of the "uristring" type is not well
defined, since URI escaping rules depend on which portion of a URI is
being escaped.
Remove the "uristring" type, converting it into an alias for the
"string" setting type so as to avoid breaking existing scripts.

[dhcp] Copy exactly the required length when resizing DHCP options
When resizing DHCP options, iPXE currently calculates the length to be
copied by subtracting the destination pointer from the end of buffer
pointer. This works and guarantees not to write beyond the end of the
buffer, but may end up reading beyond the end of the buffer.
Fix by calculating the required length exactly.

[dns] Update end-of-name pointer after processing CNAME record
Commit d4c0226 ("[dns] Support DNS search lists") introduced a
regression when handling CNAME records resolving to names longer than
the original name. The "end of name" offset stored in dns->offset was
not updated to reflect the length of the new name, causing
dns_question() to append the (empty) search suffix at an incorrect
offset within the name buffer, resulting in a mangled DNS name.
In the case of a CNAME record resolving to a name shorter than or
equal in length to the original name, then the mangling would occur in
an unused portion of the name buffer. In the common case of a name
server returning the A (or AAAA) record along with the CNAME record,
this would cause name resolution to succeed despite the mangling. (If
the name server did not return the A or AAAA record along with the
CNAME record, then the mangling would be revealed by the subsequent
invalid query packet.)

Add validation code to ensure that parsing of DNS packets does not
overrun the input, get stuck in infinite loops, or (worse) write

[cmdline] Rename "console" command's --bpp option to --depth

[vesafb] Allow for an arbitrary margin around the text area
Allow for an arbitrary margin to be specified in the console
configuration. If the actual screen size does not match the requested
screen size, then update any margins specified so that they remain in
the same place relative to the requested screen size. If margins are
unspecified (i.e. zero), then leave them as zero.
The underlying assumption here is that any specified margins are
likely to describe an area within a background picture, and so should
remain in the same place relative to that background picture.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Centre the background picture on the console, to give a more
consistent result when the aspect ratio does not match the requested
width and height.
Once drawn for the first time, nothing should ever overwrite the
margins of the display. We can therefore eliminate the logic used to
redraw only the margin areas, and use much simpler code to draw the
complete initial background image.
Simplify the redrawing logic further by making the background picture
buffer equal in size to the frame buffer. In the common case of a
background picture which is designed to fill the screen, this wastes
no extra memory, and the combined code simplifications reduce the size
of fbcon.o by approximately 15%.
Redefine the concept of "margin" to match the intuitive definition
(i.e. the size of the gap, rather than the position of the boundary
line).

[console] Allow consoles to update the recorded console size
Provide a mechanism for consoles to update the recorded console width
and height, and use this width and height to provide the curses COLS
and LINES variables.
We choose not to use ANSI escape sequences to obtain the width and
height, for two reasons:
- iPXE's model is that all output is sent to all consoles; we could
therefore end up with multiple consoles reporting conflicting widths
and heights
- when a serial console is in use, we probably don't want to resize
the output shown on the BIOS console to match the size of the serial
console, since it's likely that the serial console is in use only
for debugging.

[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.)
