[console] Allow KEY_xxx constants to cover F8 function key
F8 is represented by the ANSI escape sequence "^[[19~", which is not
representable as a KEY_xxx constant using the current encoding scheme.
Adapt the encoding scheme to allow F8 to be represented, since PXE
requires that we may need to prompt the user to press F8.
Remove the lazy assumption that ProxyDHCP == "DHCP with option 60 set
to PXEClient", and explicitly separate the notion of ProxyDHCP from
the notion of packets containing PXE options.
Pick out the first boot menu item from the boot menu (option 43.9) and
pass it to the boot server as the boot menu item (option 43.71).
Also improve DHCP debug messages to include more details of the
packets being transmitted.
[dhcp] Add preliminary support for PXE Boot Servers
Some PXE configurations require us to perform a third DHCP transaction
(in addition to the real DHCP transaction and the ProxyDHCP
transaction) in order to retrieve information from a "Boot Server".
This is an experimental implementation, since the actual behaviour is
not well specified in the PXE spec.
[tcpip] Allow for transmission to multicast IPv4 addresses
When sending to a multicast address, it may be necessary to specify
the source address explicitly, since the multicast destination address
does not provide enough information to deduce the source address via
the miniroute table.
Allow the source address specified via the data-xfer metadata to be
passed down through the TCP/IP stack to the IPv4 layer, which can use
it as a default source address.
[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.
[build] Avoid strict-aliasing warnings when building with gcc 4.4
Conventional usage of the various struct sockaddr_xxx types involves
liberal use of casting, which tends to trigger strict-aliasing
warnings from gcc. Avoid these now and in future by marking all the
relevant types with __attribute__((may_alias)).
[x86_64] Add support for compilation as an x86_64 binary
Currently the only supported platform for x86_64 is EFI.
Building an EFI64 gPXE requires a version of gcc that supports
__attribute__((ms_abi)). This currently means a development build of
gcc; the feature should be present when gcc 4.4 is released.
In the meantime; you can grab a suitable gcc tree from
git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mcb30/gcc/.git
[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.
This driver is based on Stefan Hajnoczi's summer work, which
is in turn based on version 1.01 of the linux b44 driver.
I just assembled the pieces and fixed/added a few pieces
here and there to make it work for my hardware.
The most major limitation is that this driver won't work
on systems with >1GB RAM due to the card not having enough
address bits for that and gPXE not working around this
limitation.
Still, other than that the driver works well enough for
at least 2 users :) and the above limitation can always
be fixed when somebody wants it bad enough :)

[netdevice] Provide function to retrieve the most recently opened net device
There are currently four places within the codebase that use a
heuristic to guess the "boot network device", with varying degrees of
success. Add a feature to the net device core to maintain a list of
open network devices, in order of opening, and provide a function
last_opened_netdev() to retrieve the most recently opened net device.
This should do a better job than the current assortment of
guess_boot_netdev() functions.
[aoe] Use an AoE config query to identify the target MAC address
The AoE spec does not specify that the source MAC address of a
received packet actually matches the MAC address of the AoE target.
In principle an AoE server can respond to an AoE request on any
interface available to it, which may not be an address configured to
accept AoE requests.
This issue is resolved by implementing AoE device discovery. The
purpose of AoE discovery is to find out which addresses an AoE target
can use for requests. An AoE configuration command is sent when the
AoE attach is attempted. The AoE target must respond to that
configuration query from an interface that can accept requests.
Based on a patch from Ryan Thomas <ryan@coraid.com>
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.
[infiniband] Respect hop pointer when building directed route SMP return path
The return path in directed route SMPs lists the egress ports in order
from SM to node, rather than from node to SM.
To write to the correct offset within the return path, we need to
parse the hop pointer. This is held within the class-specific data
portion of the MAD header, which was previously unused by us and
defined to be a uint16_t. Define this field to be a union type; this
requires some rearrangement of ib_mad.h and corresponding changes to
ipoib.c.
[linda] Add support for QLogic 7220-based Infiniband HCAs
These cards very nearly support our current IB Verbs model. There is
one minor difference: multicast packets will always be delivered by
the hardware to QP0, so the driver has to redirect them to the
appropriate QP. This means that QP owners may see receive completions
for buffers that they never posted. Nothing in our current codebase
will break because of this.
[infiniband] Add raw packet parser and constructor
This can be used with cards that require the driver to construct and
parse packet headers manually. Headers are optionally handled
out-of-line from the packet payload, since some such cards will split
received headers into a separate ring buffer.
Some Infiniband cards will not be as accommodating as the Arbel and
Hermon cards in providing enough space for us to push a fake extra
header at the start of the received packet. We must therefore make do
with squeezing enough information to identify source and destination
addresses into the two bytes of padding within a genuine IPoIB
link-layer header.
[infiniband] Split subnet management agent client out into ib_smc.c
Not all Infiniband cards have embedded subnet management agents.
Split out the code that communicates with such an embedded SMA into a
separate ib_smc.c file, and have drivers call ib_smc_update()
explicitly when they suspect that the answers given by the embedded
SMA may have changed.
[infiniband] Pass address vector in receive completions
Receive completion handlers now get passed an address vector
containing the information extracted from the packet headers
(including the GRH, if present), and only the payload remains in the
I/O buffer.
This breaks the symmetry between transmit and receive completions, so
remove the ib_completer_t type and use an ib_completion_queue_operations
structure instead.
Rename the "destination QPN" and "destination LID" fields in struct
ib_address_vector to reflect its new dual usage.
Since the ib_completion structure now contains only an IB status code,
("syndrome") replace it with a generic gPXE integer status code.
[infiniband] Flush uncompleted work queue entries at QP teardown
Avoid leaking I/O buffers in ib_destroy_qp() by completing any
outstanding work queue entries with a generic error code. This
requires the completion handlers to be available to ib_destroy_qp(),
which is done by making them static configuration parameters of the CQ
(set by ib_create_cq()) rather than being provided on each call to
ib_poll_cq().
This mimics the functionality of netdev_{tx,rx}_flush(). The netdev
flush functions would previously have been catching any I/O buffers
leaked by the IPoIB data queue (though not by the IPoIB metadata
queue).
Add the simplified ne2k_isa driver. It is just a selective copy+paste
of the relevant parts from ns8390.c plus a little trivial hacking to
make it actually work.
It is true that the code is pretty ugly, but:
a) ns8390.c is worse
b) It is only 372 lines and no #ifdefs
c) It works both in qemu/bochs and in real hardware
and we all know it is easier to cleanup working code
Hope someone will find the time to rewrite this driver properly,
but until then at least for me this is an ok solution.

[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.
[settings] Add the notion of a "tag magic" to numbered settings
Settings can be constructed using a dotted-decimal notation, to allow
for access to unnamed settings. The default interpretation is as a
DHCP option number (with encapsulated options represented as
"<encapsulating option>.<encapsulated option>".
In several contexts (e.g. SMBIOS, Phantom CLP), it is useful to
interpret the dotted-decimal notation as referring to non-DHCP
options. In this case, it becomes necessary for these contexts to
ignore standard DHCP options, otherwise we end up trying to, for
example, retrieve the boot filename from SMBIOS.
Allow settings blocks to specify a "tag magic". When dotted-decimal
notation is used to construct a setting, the tag magic value of the
originating settings block will be ORed in to the tag number.
Store/fetch methods can then check for the magic number before
interpreting arbitrarily-numbered settings.
[netdevice] Change link-layer push() and pull() methods to take raw types
EFI requires us to be able to specify the source address for
individual transmitted packets, and to be able to extract the
destination address on received packets.
Take advantage of this to rationalise the push() and pull() methods so
that push() takes a (dest,source,proto) tuple and pull() returns a
(dest,source,proto) tuple.
[netdevice] Split multicast hashing out into an mc_hash method
Multicast hashing is an ugly overlap between network and link layers.
EFI requires us to provide access to this functionality, so move it
out of ipv4.c and expose it as a method of the link layer.
[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.
The userptr_t is now the fundamental type that gets used for conversions.
For example, virt_to_phys() is implemented in terms of virt_to_user() and
user_to_phys().
