[hyperv] Assume that VMBus xfer page ranges correspond to RNDIS messages
The (undocumented) VMBus protocol seems to allow for transfer
page-based packets where the data payload is split into an arbitrary
set of ranges within the transfer page set.
The RNDIS protocol includes a length field within the header of each
message, and it is known from observation that multiple RNDIS messages
can be concatenated into a single VMBus message.
iPXE currently assumes that the transfer page range boundaries are
entirely arbitrary, and uses the RNDIS header length to determine the
RNDIS message boundaries.
Windows Server 2012 R2 generates an RNDIS_INDICATE_STATUS_MSG for an
undocumented and unknown status code (0x40020006) with a malformed
RNDIS header length: the length does not cover the StatusBuffer
portion of the message. This causes iPXE to report a malformed RNDIS
message and to discard any further RNDIS messages within the same
VMBus message.
The Linux Hyper-V driver assumes that the transfer page range
boundaries correspond to RNDIS message boundaries, and so does not
notice the malformed length field in the RNDIS header.
Match the behaviour of the Linux Hyper-V driver: assume that the
transfer page range boundaries correspond to the RNDIS message
boundaries and ignore the RNDIS header length. This avoids triggering
the "malformed packet" error and also avoids unnecessary data copying:
since we now have one I/O buffer per RNDIS message, there is no longer
any need to use iob_split().

The Hyper-V RNDIS implementation on Windows Server 2012 R2 requires
that we send an explicit RNDIS initialisation message in order to get

[iobuf] Add iob_split() to split an I/O buffer into portions
RNDIS devices may provide multiple packets encapsulated into a single
message. Provide an API to allow the RNDIS driver to split an I/O
buffer into smaller portions.
The current implementation will always copy the underlying data,
rather than splitting the buffer in situ.

[ping] Allow termination after a specified number of packets
Add the "-c <count>" option to the "ping" command, allowing for
automatic termination after a specified number of packets.
When a number of packets is specified:
- if a serious error (i.e. length mismatch or content mismatch)
occurs, then the ping will be immediately terminated with the relevant
status code;
- if at least one response is received successfully, and all errors
are non-serious (i.e. timeouts or out-of-sequence responses), then
the ping will be terminated after the final response (or timeout)
with a success status;
- if no responses are received successfully, then the ping will be
terminated after the final timeout with ETIMEDOUT.
If no number of packets is specified, then the ping will continue
until manually interrupted.

Some UEFI network drivers provide a software UNDI interface which is
exposed via the Network Interface Identifier Protocol (NII), rather
than providing a Simple Network Protocol (SNP).
The UEFI platform firmware will usually include the SnpDxe driver,
which attaches to NII and provides an SNP interface. The SNP
interface is usually provided on the same handle as the underlying NII
device. This causes problems for our EFI driver model: when
efi_driver_connect() detaches existing drivers from the handle it will
cause the SNP interface to be uninstalled, and so our SNP driver will
not be able to attach to the handle. The platform firmware will
eventually reattach the SnpDxe driver and may attach us to the SNP
handle, but we have no way to prevent other drivers from attaching
first.
Fix by providing a driver which can attach directly to the NII
protocol, using the software UNDI interface to drive the network
device.

Propagate our modified EFI system table to any images loaded by the
image that we wrap, thereby allowing us to observe boot services calls
made by all subsequent EFI images.
Also show details of intercepted ExitBootServices() calls. When
wrapping is used, exiting boot services will almost certainly fail,

Under some circumstances (e.g. if iPXE itself is booted via iSCSI, or
after an unclean reboot), the backend may not be in the expected
InitWait state when iPXE starts up.
There is no generic reset mechanism for Xenbus devices. Recent
versions of xen-netback will gracefully perform all of the required
steps if the frontend sets its state to Initialising. Older versions
(such as that found in XenServer 6.2.0) require the frontend to
transition through Closed before reaching Initialising.
Add a reset mechanism for netfront devices which does the following:
- read current backend state
- if backend state is anything other than InitWait, then set the
frontend state to Closed and wait for the backend to also reach
Closed
- set the frontend state to Initialising and wait for the backend to
reach InitWait.

Using version 1 grant tables limits guests to using 16TB of grantable
RAM, and prevents the use of subpage grants. Some versions of the Xen
hypervisor refuse to allow the grant table version to be set after the
first grant references have been created, so the loaded operating
system may be stuck with whatever choice we make here. We therefore
currently use version 2 grant tables, since they give the most
flexibility to the loaded OS.
Current versions (7.2.0) of the Windows PV drivers have no support for
version 2 grant tables, and will merrily create version 1 entries in
what the hypervisor believes to be a version 2 table. This causes
some confusion.
Avoid this problem by attempting to use version 1 tables, since
otherwise we may render Windows unable to boot.
Play nicely with other potential bootloaders by accepting either
version 1 or version 2 grant tables (if we are unable to set our
requested version).
Note that the use of version 1 tables on a 64-bit system introduces a
possible failure path in which a frame number cannot fit into the
32-bit field within the v1 structure. This in turn introduces
additional failure paths into netfront_transmit() and
netfront_refill_rx().

[efi] Open device path protocol only at point of use
Some EFI 1.10 systems (observed on an Apple iMac) do not allow us to
open the device path protocol with an attribute of
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER and so we cannot maintain a safe,
long-lived pointer to the device path. Work around this by instead
opening the device path protocol with an attribute of
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_GET_PROTOCOL whenever we need to use it.

[efi] Avoid unnecessarily passing pointers to EFI_HANDLEs
efi_file_install() and efi_download_install() are both used to install

of their calls to InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces() to create a new

By passing the handle directly (rather than a pointer to the handle),
we avoid potential confusion (and erroneous debug message colours).

Reject network devices which appear to be duplicates of those already
available via a different underlying hardware device. On a Xen PV-HVM
system, this allows us to filter out the emulated PCI NICs (which
would otherwise appear alongside the netfront NICs).
Note that we cannot use the Xen facility to "unplug" the emulated PCI
NICs, since there is no guarantee that the OS we subsequently load
will have a native netfront driver.
We permit devices with the same MAC address if they are attached to
the same underlying hardware device (e.g. VLAN devices).

[efi] Default to releasing network devices for use via SNP
We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP
API only if RX queue processing has been frozen. (This is similar in
spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network
device currently exposed via the PXE API.)
The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX
queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP.
This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other
than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via
SNP).
We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via
the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and
so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway.
We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to
indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or
available for use via SNP. Using a global flag allows the default
state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly.

[efi] Install our own disk I/O protocol and claim exclusive use of it
The EFI FAT filesystem driver has a bug: if a block device contains no
FAT filesystem but does have an EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL
instance, the FAT driver will assume that it must have previously
installed the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. This causes the FAT
driver to claim control of our device, and to refuse to stop driving
it, which prevents us from later uninstalling correctly.
Work around this bug by opening the disk I/O protocol ourselves,
thereby preventing the FAT driver from opening it.
Note that the alternative approach of opening the block I/O protocol
(and thereby in theory preventing DiskIo from attaching to the block
I/O protocol) causes an endless loop of calls to our DRIVER_STOP
method when starting the EFI shell. I have no idea why this is.

Provide a single instance of EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL (attached to
our image handle); this matches the expectations scattered throughout
the EFI specification.
Open the underlying hardware device using EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER
and EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_EXCLUSIVE, to prevent other drivers from
attaching to the same device.
Do not automatically connect to devices when being loaded as a driver;
leave this task to the platform firmware (or to the user, if loading
directly from the EFI shell).
When running as an application, forcibly disconnect any existing
drivers from devices that we want to control, and reconnect them on
exit.
Provide a meaningful driver version number (based on the build
timestamp), to allow platform firmware to automatically load newer
versions of iPXE drivers if multiple drivers are present.
Include device paths within debug messages where possible, to aid in
debugging.
