[pxe] Implicitly open network device in PXENV_UDP_OPEN
Some end-user configurations have been observed in which the first NBP
(such as GRUB2) uses the UNDI API and then transfers control to a
second NBP (such as pxelinux) which uses the UDP API. The first NBP
closes the network device using PXENV_UNDI_CLOSE, which renders the
UDP API unable to transmit or receive packets.
The correct behaviour under these circumstances is (as often) simply
not documented by the PXE specification. Testing with the Intel PXE
stack suggests that PXENV_UDP_OPEN will implicitly reopen the network
device if necessary, so match this behaviour.

[int13] Allow default drive to be specified via "san-drive" setting
The DHCP option 175.189 has been defined (by us) since 2006 as

been automatically used as such by iPXE.
Use this option (if specified) to override the default SAN drive

[build] Do not use "objcopy -O binary" for objects with relocation records
The mbr.bin and usbdisk.bin standalone blobs are currently generated
using "objcopy -O binary", which does not process relocation records.
For the i386 build, this does not matter since the section start
address is zero and so the ".rel" relocation records are effectively
no-ops anyway.
For the x86_64 build, the ".rela" relocation records are not no-ops,
since the addend is included as part of the relocation record (rather
than inline). Using "objcopy -O binary" will silently discard the
relocation records, with the result that all symbols are effectively
given a value of zero.
Fix by using "ld --oformat binary" instead of "objcopy -O binary" to
generate mbr.bin and usbdisk.bin.

[build] Allow assembler section type character to vary by architecture
On some architectures (such as ARM) the "@" character is used as a
comment delimiter. A section type argument such as "@progbits"
therefore becomes "%progbits".
This is further complicated by the fact that the "%" character has
special meaning for inline assembly when input or output operands are
used, in which cases "@progbits" becomes "%%progbits".
Allow the section type character(s) to be defined via Makefile
variables.

[librm] Do not unconditionally preserve flags across virt_call()
Commit 196f0f2 ("[librm] Convert prot_call() to a real-mode near
call") introduced a regression in which any deliberate modification to
the low 16 bits of the CPU flags (in struct i386_all_regs) would be
overwritten with the original flags value at the time of entry to
prot_call().
The regression arose because the alignment requirements of the
protected-mode stack necessitated the insertion of two bytes of
padding immediately below the prot_call() return address. The
solution chosen was to extend the existing "pushfl / popfl" pair to
"pushfw;pushfl / popfl;popfw". The extra "pushfw / popfw" appears at
first glance to be a no-op, but fails to take into account the fact
that the flags restored by popfl may have been deliberately modified
by the protected-mode function.
Fix by replacing "pushfw / popfw" with "pushw %ss / popw %ss". While
%ss does appear within struct i386_all_regs, any modification to the
stored value has always been ignored by prot_call() anyway.
The most visible symptom of this regression was that SAN booting would
fail since every INT 13 call would be chained to the original INT 13
vector.

[pcbios] Restrict external memory allocations to the low 4GB
When running the 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE, restrict external memory
allocations to the low 4GB to ensure that allocations (such as for
initrds) fall within our identity-mapped memory region, and will be
accessible to the potentially 32-bit operating system.
Move largest_memblock() back to memtop_umalloc.c, since this change
imposes a restriction that applies only to BIOS builds.

[librm] Add support for running in 64-bit long mode
Add support for running the BIOS version of iPXE in 64-bit long mode.
A 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE can be built using e.g.
make bin-x86_64-pcbios/ipxe.usb
make bin-x86_64-pcbios/8086100e.mrom
The 64-bit BIOS version should appear to function identically to the
normal 32-bit BIOS version. The physical memory layout is unaltered:
iPXE is still relocated to the top of the available 32-bit address
space. The code is linked to a virtual address of 0xffffffffeb000000
(in the negative 2GB as required by -mcmodel=kernel), with 4kB pages
created to cover the whole of .textdata. 2MB pages are created to
cover the whole of the 32-bit address space.
The 32-bit portions of the code run with VIRTUAL_CS and VIRTUAL_DS
configured such that truncating a 64-bit virtual address gives a
32-bit virtual address pointing to the same physical location.
The stack pointer remains as a physical address when running in long
mode (although the .stack section is accessible via the negative 2GB
virtual address); this is done in order to simplify the handling of
interrupts occurring while executing a portion of 32-bit code with
flat physical addressing via PHYS_CODE().
Interrupts may be enabled in either 64-bit long mode, 32-bit protected
mode with virtual addresses, 32-bit protected mode with physical
addresses, or 16-bit real mode. Interrupts occurring in any mode
other than real mode will be reflected down to real mode and handled
by whichever ISR is hooked into the BIOS interrupt vector table.

In a 64-bit build, the entirety of the 32-bit address space is
identity-mapped and so any valid physical address may immediately be
used as a virtual address. Conversely, a virtual address that is
already within the 32-bit address space may immediately be used as a
physical address.
A valid virtual address that lies outside the 32-bit address space
must be an address within .textdata, and so can be converted to a
physical address by adding virt_offset.

[librm] Add phys_call() wrapper for calling code with physical addressing
Add a phys_call() wrapper function (analogous to the existing
real_call() wrapper function) for calling code with flat physical
addressing, and use this wrapper within the PHYS_CODE() macro.
Move the relevant functionality inside librm.S, where it more
naturally belongs.
The COMBOOT code currently uses explicit calls to _virt_to_phys and
_phys_to_virt. These will need to be rewritten if our COMBOOT support
is ever generalised to be able to run in a 64-bit build.
Specifically:
- com32_exec_loop() should be restructured to use PHYS_CODE()
- com32_wrapper.S should be restructured to use an equivalent of
prot_call(), passing parameters via a struct i386_all_regs
- there appears to be no need for com32_wrapper.S to switch between
external and internal stacks; this could be omitted to simplify
the design.
For now, librm.S continues to expose _virt_to_phys and _phys_to_virt
for use by com32.c and com32_wrapper.S. Similarly, librm.S continues
to expose _intr_to_virt for use by gdbidt.S.

[build] Fix building on older versions of binutils
Some older versions of binutils have issues with both the use of
PROVIDE() and the interpretation of numeric literals within a section
description.
Work around these older versions by defining the required numeric
literals outside of any section description, and by automatically
determining whether or not to generate extra space for page tables
rather than relying on LDFLAGS.

The bulk of the iPXE binary (the .textdata section) is physically
relocated at runtime to the top of the 32-bit address space in order
to allow space for an OS to be loaded. The relocation is achieved
with the assistance of segmentation: we adjust the code and data
segment bases so that the link-time addresses remain valid.
Segmentation is not available (for normal code and data segments) in
long mode. We choose to compile the C code with -mcmodel=kernel and
use a link-time address of 0xffffffffeb000000. This choice allows us
to identity-map the entirety of the 32-bit address space, and to alias
our chosen link-time address to the physical location of our .textdata
section. (This requires the .textdata section to always be aligned to
a page boundary.)
We simultaneously choose to set the 32-bit virtual address segment
bases such that the link-time addresses may simply be truncated to 32
bits in order to generate a valid 32-bit virtual address. This allows
symbols in .textdata to be trivially accessed by both 32-bit and
64-bit code.
There is no (sensible) way in 32-bit assembly code to generate the
required R_X86_64_32S relocation records for these truncated symbols.
However, subtracting the fixed constant 0xffffffff00000000 has the
same effect as truncation, and can be represented in a standard
R_X86_64_32 relocation record. We define the VIRTUAL() macro to
abstract away this truncation operation, and apply it to all
references by 32-bit (or 16-bit) assembly code to any symbols within
the .textdata section.
We define "virt_offset" for a 64-bit build as "the value to be added
to an address within .textdata in order to obtain its physical
address". With this definition, the low 32 bits of "virt_offset" can
be treated by 32-bit code as functionally equivalent to "virt_offset"
in a 32-bit build.
We define "text16" and "data16" for a 64-bit build as the physical
addresses of the .text16 and .data16 sections. Since a physical
address within the 32-bit address space may be used directly as a
64-bit virtual address (thanks to the identity map), this definition
provides the most natural access to variables in .text16 and .data16.
Note that this requires a minor adjustment in prot_to_real(), which
accesses .text16 using 32-bit virtual addresses.

[librm] Transition to protected mode within init_librm()
Long-mode operation will require page tables, which are too large to
sensibly fit in our .data16 segment in base memory.

provide access to high memory. Use this portion of init_librm() to
initialise the .textdata variables "virt_offset", "text16", and
"data16", eliminating the redundant (re)initialisation currently
performed on every mode transition as part of real_to_prot().

[bios] Make uses of REAL_CODE() and PHYS_CODE() 64-bit clean
On a 64-bit CPU, any modification of a register by 32-bit or 16-bit
code will destroy the invisible upper 32 bits of the corresponding
64-bit register. For example: a 32-bit "pushl %eax" followed by a
"popl %eax" will zero the upper half of %rax. This differs from the
treatment of upper halves of 32-bit registers by 16-bit code: a
"pushw %ax" followed by a "popw %ax" will leave the upper 16 bits of
%eax unmodified.
Inline assembly generated using REAL_CODE() or PHYS_CODE() will
therefore have to preserve the upper halves of all registers, to avoid
clobbering registers that gcc expects to be preserved.
Output operands from REAL_CODE() and PHYS_CODE() assembly may
therefore contain undefined values in the upper 32 bits.
Fix by using explicit variable widths (e.g. uint32_t) for
non-discarded output operands, to ensure that undefined values in the
upper 32 bits of 64-bit registers are ignored.
