[dhcp] Extract timing parameters out to config/dhcp.h
iPXE uses DHCP timeouts loosely based on values recommended by the
specification, but often abbreviated to reduce timeouts for reliable
and/or simple network topologies. Extract the DHCP timing parameters
to config/dhcp.h and document them. The resulting default iPXE
behavior is exactly the same, but downstreams are now afforded the
opportunity to implement spec-compliant behavior via config file
overrides.

LZMA provides significantly better compression (by ~15%) than the
current NRV2B algorithm.
We use a raw LZMA stream (aka LZMA1) to avoid the need for code to
parse the LZMA2 block headers. We use parameters {lc=2,lp=0,pb=0} to
reduce the stack space required by the decompressor to acceptable
levels (around 8kB). Using lc=3 or pb=2 would give marginally better
compression, but at the cost of substantially increasing the required
stack space.
The build process now requires the liblzma headers to be present on
the build system, since we do not include a copy of an LZMA compressor
within the iPXE source tree. The decompressor is written from scratch
(based on XZ Embedded) and is entirely self-contained within the
iPXE source.
The branch-call-jump (BCJ) filter used to improve the compressibility
is specific to iPXE. We choose not to use liblzma's built-in BCJ
filter since the algorithm is complex and undocumented. Our BCJ
filter achieves approximately the same results (on typical iPXE
binaries) with a substantially simpler algorithm.

[prefix] Use .bss16 as temporary stack space for calls to install_block
Some decompression algorithms (e.g. LZMA) require large amounts of
temporary stack space, which may not be made available by all
prefixes. Use .bss16 as a temporary stack for the duration of the
calls to install_block (switching back to the external stack before we
start making calls into code which might access variables in .bss16),
and allow the decompressor to define a global symbol to force a
minimum value on the size of .bss16.

When a command times out, abort it (via the Command Abort bit in the
Command Ring Control Register) so that subsequent commands may execute
as expected.
This improves robustness when a device fails to respond to the Set
Address command, since the subsequent Disable Slot command will now
succeed.

[xhci] Leak memory if controller fails to disable slot
If the Disable Slot command fails then the hardware may continue to
write to the slot context. Leak the memory used by the slot context
to avoid future memory corruption.
This situation has been observed in practice when a Set Address
command fails, causing the command ring to become temporarily
unresponsive.
Note that there is no need to similarly leak memory on the failure
path in xhci_device_open(), since in the event of a failure the
hardware is never informed of the slot context address.

[build] Apply the "-fno-PIE -nopie" workaround only to i386 builds
Hardened versions of gcc default to building position-independent
code, which breaks our i386 build. Our build process therefore
detects such platforms and automatically adds "-fno-PIE -nopie" to the
gcc command line.
On x86_64, we choose to build position-independent code (in order to
reduce the final binary size and, in particular, the number of
relocations required for UEFI binaries). The workaround therefore
breaks the build process for x86_64 binaries on such platforms.
Fix by moving the workaround to the i386-specific portion of the
Makefile.

UEFI binaries may be relocated to any location within the 64-bit
address space. We compile as position-independent code with hidden
visibility, which should force all relocation records to be either
PC-relative (in which case no PE relocations are required) or full
64-bit relocations. There should be no R_X86_64_32 relocation
records, since that would imply an invalid assumption that code could
not be relocated above 4GB.
Remove support for R_X86_64_32 relocation records from util/elf2efi.c,
so that any such records result in a build failure rather than a
potential runtime failure.

When building hvmloader for Xen tools the iPXE objects are also linked
into the binary. Unfortunately the linker will place them in the
order found in the archive. Since this order is random the resulting
hvmloader binary differs when it was built from identical sources but
on different build hosts. To help with creating a reproducible binary
the elements in blib.a must simply be sorted before passing them to

[usb] Handle port status changes received after failing to find a driver
Commit a60f2dd ("[usb] Try multiple USB device configurations")
changed the behaviour of register_usb() such that if no drivers are
found then the device will be closed and the memory used will be
freed.
If a port status change subsequently occurs while the device is still
physically attached, then usb_hotplug() will see this as a new device
having been attached, since there is no device recorded as being
currently attached to the port. This can lead to spurious hotplug
events (or even endless loops of hotplug events, if the process of
opening and closing the device happens to generate a port status
change).
Fix by using a separate flag to indicate that a device is physically
attached (even if we have no corresponding struct usb_device).

[xhci] Delay after (possibly) forcing port link state to RxDetect
Some xHCI controllers (observed with a Renesas Electronics PCIe USB3
card) seem to require a delay after forcing the link state of USB3

including system lockups.
Add an unconditional 20ms delay after writing the port link states.

Some devices have a very small number of internal buffers, and rely on
being able to pack multiple packets into each buffer. Using 2048-byte
buffers on such devices produces throughput of around 100Mbps. Using
a small number of much larger buffers (e.g. 32kB) increases the
throughput to around 780Mbps. (The full 1Gbps is not reached because
the high RTT induced by the use of multi-packet buffers causes us to
saturate our 256kB TCP window.)
Since allocation of large buffers is very likely to fail, allocate the
buffer set only once when the device is opened and recycle buffers
immediately after use. Received data is now always copied to
per-packet buffers.
If allocation of large buffers fails, fall back to allocating a larger
number of smaller buffers. This will give reduced performance, but
the device will at least still be functional.
Share code between the interrupt and bulk IN endpoint handlers, since
the buffer handling is now very similar.
