The PXE 1.x spec specifies that on NBP entry or on return from INT
1Ah AX=5650h, EDX shall point to the physical address of the PXENV+
structure.  The PXE 2.x spec drops this requirement, simply stating
that EDX is clobbered.  Given the principle "be conservative in what
you send, liberal in what you accept", however, we should implement
this anyway.

Certain combinations of PXE stack and BIOS result in a broken INT 18
call, which will leave the system displaying a "PRESS ANY KEY TO
REBOOT" message instead of proceeding to the next boot device.  On
these systems, returning via the PXE stack is the only way to continue
to the next boot device.  Returning via the PXE stack works only if we
haven't already blown away the PXE base code in pxeprefix.S.

In most circumstances, we do want to blow away the PXE base code.
Base memory is a limited resource, and it is desirable to reclaim as
much as possible.  When we perform an iSCSI boot, we need to place the
iBFT above the 512kB mark, because otherwise it may not be detected by
the loaded OS; this may not be possible if the PXE base code is still
occupying that memory.

Introduce a new prefix type .kkpxe which will preserve both the PXE
base code and the UNDI driver (as compared to .kpxe, which preserves
the UNDI driver but uninstalls the PXE base code).  This prefix type
can be used on systems that are known to experience the specific
problem of INT 18 being broken, or in builds (such as gpxelinux.0) for
which it is particularly important to know that returning to the BIOS
will work.

This change makes it possible to break the PXE-chaining infinite loop
even when restricted to a Windows DHCP server.

Send authentication information if the username is present, even if
the password is empty.

Other vendor PXE stacks tend to allow the Escape key to be used to
abort menu selection.  Allow Escape (as well as Ctrl-C) to abort
selection.

COMBOOT images use INTs to issue API calls; these end up making calls
into gPXE from real mode, and so temporarily change the real-mode
stack pointer.  When our COMBOOT code uses a longjmp() to implement
the various "exit COMBOOT image" API calls, this leaves the real-mode
stack pointer stuck with its temporary value, which causes problems if
we eventually try to exit out of gPXE back to the BIOS.

Fix by adding rmsetjmp() and rmlongjmp() calls (analogous to
sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp()); these save and restore the additional state
needed for real-mode calls to function correctly.

When chaining COMBOOT images, the old images now get freed correctly.

Multi-level menus via COMBOOT rely on the COMBOOT program being able
to exit and invoke a new COMBOOT program (the next menu).  This works,
but rapidly (within about five iterations) runs out of space in gPXE's
internal stack, since each new image is executed in a new function
context.

Fix by allowing tail recursion between images; an image can now
specify a replacement image for itself, and image_exec() will perform
the necessary tail recursion.

The version of the GNU assembler shipped with Fedora 10
(2.18.50.0.9-8.fc10) complains about character literals in some of our
assembly code.  Changing $'x' to $( 'x' ) seems to fix the problem.
Yes, the whitespace is required; using just $('x') does not work.

GCC did not support #pragma GCC visibility until version 4.0.

Both the script and PXE images types will claim a zero-length image.
Inhibit this to avoid end-user surprises.

This patch extends the embedded image feature to allow multiple
embedded images instead of just one.

gPXE now always boots the first embedded image on startup instead of
doing the hardcoded DHCP boot (aka autoboot).

Based heavily upon a patch by Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@gmail.com>.

There are code paths other than PMM allocation that can result in our
changing the ROM checksum.  For example, we attempt to update our
product string to incorporate the PCI bus:dev.fn number.  In a system
that does not support PMM, we could therefore end up with an incorrect
checksum.

Fix by attempting to update the checksum unconditionally.

Add --fatal-warnings to ASFLAGS; this is the equivalent of -Werror in
CFLAGS (which we have used since July 2007).

Try to avoid future problems caused by implicit section flags and/or
type information by instituting a policy that all .section
declarations must explicitly state the flags and type.

As reported by Stefan, commit 13d09e6 ("[i386] Simplify linker script
and standardise linker-defined symbol names") breaks gdb, readelf and
associated utilities.

This is caused by the .stack section overwriting a block in the middle
of the .debug_info section (despite being included in the
.bss.textdata section in the output file, which apparently has the
correct attributes for a .bss section).

Fixed by adding explicit flags and type to the stack section
declaration.

The documentation in xfer.h and xfer.c does not say that the metadata
parameter is optional in calls such as xfer_deliver_iob_meta() and the
deliver_iob() method.  However, some code in net/ is prepared to
accept a NULL pointer, and xfer_deliver_as_iob() passes a NULL pointer
directly to the deliver_iob() method.

Fix this mess of conflicting assumptions by making everything assume
that the metadata parameter is mandatory, and fixing
xfer_deliver_as_iob() to pass in a dummy metadata structure (as is
already done in xfer_deliver_iob()).

If it happens that _textdata_memsz ends up being an exact multiple of
4kB, then this will cause the .textdata section (after relocation) to
start on a page boundary.  This means that the hidden memory region
(which is rounded down to the nearest page boundary) will start
exactly at virtual address 0, i.e. UNULL.  This means that
init_eheap() will erroneously assume that it has failed to allocate a
an external heap, since it typically ends up choosing the area that
lies immediately below .textdata, which in this case will be the
region with top==UNULL.

A subsequent error is that memtop_urealloc() passes through the error
return status -ENOMEM to the caller, which (rightly) assumes that the
result represents a valid userptr_t address.

Fixed by using alternative tests for heap non-existence, and by
returning UNULL in case of an error from init_eheap().

fetchf_uristring() was failing to handle error values from
fetch_setting(), resulting in its attempting to allocate extremely
large temporary buffers on the stack (and so overrunning the stack and
locking up the machine).

The PXE spec dictates the rather ugly feature that we have to present
a DHCP-specified prompt string to the user, then wait to see if they
press F8 before displaying the menu.

This seems to me to be a significant retrograde step from the current
situation of displaying the menu with the timeout counting down
against the default selected boot option, but apparently the lack of
the "Press F8" prompt causes some confusion.

Various combinations of options 43.6, 43.7 and 43.8 dictate which
servers we send Boot Server Discovery requests to, and which servers
we should accept responses from.  Obey these options, and remove the
explicit specification of a single Boot Server from start_pxebs() and
dependent functions.

Option 43.6 can direct us to skip PXE boot server discovery and just
perform a standard DHCP filename boot.

fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero its IPv4 address argument if no such
setting exists, rather than leaving it untouched.

There are many functions that take ownership of the I/O buffer they
are passed as a parameter.  The caller should not retain a pointer to
the I/O buffer.  Use iob_disown() to automatically nullify the
caller's pointer, e.g.:

    xfer_deliver_iob ( xfer, iob_disown ( iobuf ) );

This will ensure that iobuf is set to NULL for any code after the call
to xfer_deliver_iob().

iob_disown() is currently used only in places where it simplifies the
code, by avoiding an extra line explicitly setting the I/O buffer
pointer to NULL.  It should ideally be used with each call to any
function that takes ownership of an I/O buffer.  (The SSA
optimisations will ensure that use of iob_disown() gets optimised away
in cases where the caller makes no further use of the I/O buffer
pointer anyway.)

If gcc ever introduces an __attribute__((free)), indicating that use
of a function argument after a function call should generate a
warning, then we should use this to identify all applicable function
call sites, and add iob_disown() as necessary.

A TFTP DATA packet with a block number of zero (representing a
negative offset within the file) could potentially cause problems.
Fixed by explicitly rejecting such packets.

The DHCP client code now implements only the mechanism of the DHCP and
PXE Boot Server protocols.  Boot Server Discovery can be initiated
manually using the "pxebs" command.  The menuing code is separated out
into a user-level function on a par with boot_root_path(), and is
entered in preference to a normal filename boot if the DHCP vendor
class is "PXEClient" and the PXE boot menu option exists.

Automatically unregister any settings with the same name (and position
within the settings tree) as a newly registered settings block.

This functionality is generalised out from dhcp.c.

Some targets send a spurious CHECK CONDITION message in response to
the first SCSI command.  We issue (and ignore the status of) an
arbitary harmless SCSI command (a READ CAPACITY (10)) in order to draw
out this response.

The Solaris Comstar target seems to send more than one spurious CHECK
CONDITION response.  Attempt up to SCSI_MAX_DUMMY_READ_CAP dummy READ
CAPACITY (10) commands before assuming that error responses are
meaningful.

This really ought to be handled via monojob.c and the usual Ctrl-C
mechanism that handles cancelling DHCP or file downloads.

Try to qualify relative names in the DNS resolver using the DHCP Domain
Name.  For example:

  DHCP Domain Name: etherboot.org
  (Relative) Name: www

yields:

  www.etherboot.org

Only names with no dots ('.') will be modified.  A name with one or more
dots is unchanged.

pxe_tftp.c assumes that the first seek on its data-transfer interface
represents the block size.  Apart from being an ugly hack, this will
also screw up file size calculation for files smaller than one block.

The proper solution would be to extend the data-transfer interface to
support the reporting of stat()-like data.  This is not going to
happen until the cost of adding interface methods is reduced (a fix I
have planned since June 2008).

In the meantime, abuse the xfer_window() method to return the block
size, since it is not being used for anything else and is vaguely
justifiable.

Astonishingly, having returned the incorrect TFTP blocksize via
PXENV_TFTP_OPEN for almost a year seems not to have affected any of
the test cases run during that time; this bug was found only when
someone tried running the heavily-patched version of pxegrub found in
OpenSolaris.
