Many UEFI NBPs expect to find an EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL installed
in addition to the EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL. Most NBPs use the
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the cached DHCP packets.
This implementation has been tested with grub.efi, shim.efi,
syslinux.efi, and wdsmgfw.efi. Some methods (such as Discover() and
Arp()) are not used by any known NBP and so have not (yet) been
implemented.
Usage notes for the tested bootstraps are:
- grub.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet, and uses no other methods.
- shim.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the cached
DHCP packet and to retrieve the next NBP via the Mtftp() method.
If shim.efi was downloaded via HTTP (or other non-TFTP protocol)
then shim.efi will blindly call Mtftp() with an HTTP URI as the
filename: this allows the next NBP (e.g. grubx64.efi) to also be
transparently retrieved by HTTP.
shim.efi can also use the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL to
retrieve files previously loaded by "imgfetch" or similar commands
in iPXE. The current implementation of shim.efi will use the
EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL only if it does not find an
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL; this patch therefore prevents this
usage of our EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. This logic could be
trivially reversed in shim.efi if needed.
- syslinux.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet. Versions 6.03 and earlier have a bug which
may cause syslinux.efi to attach to the wrong NIC if there are
multiple NICs in the system (or if the UEFI firmware supports
IPv6).
- wdsmgfw.efi (ab)uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the
cached DHCP packets, and to send and retrieve UDP packets via the
UdpWrite() and UdpRead() methods. (This was presumably done in
order to minimise the amount of benefit obtainable by switching to
UEFI, by replicating all of the design mistakes present in the
original PXE specification.)
The EFI_DOWNGRADE_UX configuration option remains available for now,
until this implementation has received more widespread testing.

Merge the functionality of parse_next_server_and_filename() and
tftp_uri() into a single pxe_uri(), which takes a server address
(IPv4/IPv6/none) and a filename, and produces a URI using the rule:
- if the filename is a hierarchical absolute URI (i.e. includes a
scheme such as "http://" or "tftp://") then use that URI and ignore
the server address,
- otherwise, if the server address is recognised (according to
sa_family) then construct a TFTP URI based on the server address,
port, and filename
- otherwise fail.

Commit 09b057c ("[settings] Remove "uristring" setting type") removed
support for URI-encoded settings via the "uristring" setting type, on
the basis that such encoding was no longer necessary to avoid problems
with the command line parser.
Other valid use cases for the "uristring" setting type do exist: for
example, a password containing a '/' character expanded via
chain http://username:${password:uristring}@server.name/boot.php
Restore the existence of the "uristring" setting, avoiding the
potentially large stack allocations that were used in the old code
prior to commit 09b057c ("[settings] Remove "uristring" setting
type").

[image] Detect image type when image is first registered
The current usage pattern of image_probe() is a legacy from the time
before commit 34b6ecb ("[image] Simplify image management") when
loading an image to its executable location in memory was a separate
action from actually executing the image.
Call image_probe() as soon as an image is registered. This allows
"imgstat" to display image type information for all images and allows
image-consuming code to assume that image->type is already set
correctly.
Ignore failures if image_probe() does not recognise the image, since
we do expect to handle unrecognised images (initrds, modules, etc).
Unrecognised images will be left with a NULL image->type, which
image-consuming code can easily check.

[http] Rewrite HTTP core to support content encodings
Rewrite the HTTP core to allow for the addition of arbitrary content
encoding mechanisms, such as PeerDist and gzip.
The core now exposes http_open() which can be used to create requests
with an explicitly selected HTTP method, an optional requested content
range, and an optional request body. A simple wrapper provides the
preexisting behaviour of creating either a GET request or an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request (if the URI includes
parameters).
The HTTP SAN interface is now implemented using the generic block
device translator. Individual blocks are requested using http_open()
to create a range request.
Server connections are now managed via a connection pool; this allows
for multiple requests to the same server (e.g. for SAN blocks) to be
completely unaware of each other. Repeated HTTPS connections to the
same server can reuse a pooled connection, avoiding the per-connection
overhead of establishing a TLS session (which can take several seconds
if using a client certificate).
Support for HTTP SAN booting and for the Basic and Digest
authentication schemes is now optional and can be controlled via the
SANBOOT_PROTO_HTTP, HTTP_AUTH_BASIC, and HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST build
configuration options in config/general.h.

UEFI platforms may provide a watchdog timer, which will reboot the
machine if an operating system takes more than five minutes to load.
This can cause long-lived iPXE downloads (or interactive shell
sessions) to unexpectedly reboot.
Fix by resetting the watchdog timer every ten seconds while the iPXE
main processing loop continues to run.

We do not set up any kind of virtual addressing before invoking an
ELFBoot image. Reject if the image's program headers indicate that
virtual addresses are not equal to physical addresses.
This avoids problems when loading some RHEL5 kernels, which seem to
include ELFBoot headers using virtual addressing. With this change,
these kernels are no longer detected as ELFBoot, and so may be
(correctly) detected as bzImage instead.

[netdevice] Allow network devices to disclaim IRQ support at runtime
VLAN and 802.11 devices use a network device operations structure that
wraps an underlying structure. For example, the vlan_operations
structure wraps the network device operations structure of the
underlying trunk device. This can cause false positives from the
current implementation of netdev_irq_supported(), which will always
report that VLAN devices support interrupts since it has no visibility
into the support provided by the underlying trunk device.
Fix by allowing network devices to explicitly flag that interrupts are
not supported, despite the presence of an irq() method.

[tcp] Gracefully close connections during shutdown
We currently do not wait for a received FIN before exiting to boot a
loaded OS. In the common case of booting from an HTTP server, this
means that the TCP connection is left consuming resources on the
server side: the server will retransmit the FIN several times before
giving up.
Fix by initiating a graceful close of all TCP connections and waiting
(for up to one second) for all connections to finish closing
gracefully (i.e. for the outgoing FIN to have been sent and ACKed, and
for the incoming FIN to have been received and ACKed at least once).

[ipoib] Attempt to generate ARPs as needed to repopulate REMAC cache
The only way to map an eIPoIB MAC address (REMAC) to an IPoIB MAC
address is to intercept an incoming ARP request or reply.
If we do not have an REMAC cache entry for a particular destination
MAC address, then we cannot transmit the packet. This can arise in at
least two situations:
- An external program (e.g. a PXE NBP using the UNDI API) may attempt
to transmit to a destination MAC address that has been obtained by
some method other than ARP.
- Memory pressure may have caused REMAC cache entries to be
discarded. This is fairly likely on a busy network, since REMAC
cache entries are created for all received (broadcast) ARP
requests. (We can't sensibly avoid creating these cache entries,
since they are required in order to send an ARP reply, and when we
are being used via the UNDI API we may have no knowledge of which
IP addresses are "ours".)
Attempt to ameliorate the situation by generating a semi-spurious ARP
request whenever we find a missing REMAC cache entry. This will
hopefully trigger an ARP reply, which would then provide us with the
information required to populate the REMAC cache.
