[image] Add "--timeout" parameter to image downloading commands
iPXE will detect timeout failures in several situations: network
link-up, DHCP, TCP connection attempts, unacknowledged TCP data, etc.
This does not cover all possible circumstances. For example, if a
connection to a web server is successfully established and the web
server acknowledges the HTTP request but never sends any data in
response, then no timeout will be triggered. There is no timeout
defined within the HTTP specifications, and the underlying TCP
connection will not generate a timeout since it has no way to know
that the HTTP layer is expecting to receive data from the server.
Add a "--timeout" parameter to "imgfetch", "chain", etc. If no
progress is made (i.e. no data is downloaded) within the timeout
period, then the download will be aborted.

since progress was last made". This does not affect any existing

[http] Automatically retry request on a 503 Service Unavailable
A web server may return a 503 Service Unavailable response along with
a Retry-After header to direct the client to retry the request at a
later time.
The Retry-After header may be a number of seconds, or a full HTTP
timestamp (e.g. "Fri, 7 Mar 2014 17:22:14 GMT"). We have no
reasonable way of parsing a full HTTP timestamp; if the server chooses
to use this format then we simply retry after a fixed 5-second delay.
As per RFC 2616, in the absence of a Retry-After header we treat a
status code of 503 Service Unavailable as being equivalent to 500
Internal Server Error, and immediately fail the request.

[linux] Avoid starting currticks() from zero every time
iPXE uses currticks() (along with the MAC address(es) of any network
devices) to seed the (non-cryptographic) random number generator. The
current implementation of linux_currticks() ensures that the first
call to currticks() will always return zero; this results in identical
random number sequences on each run of iPXE on a given machine. This
can cause odd-looking behaviour due to e.g. the reuse of local TCP
port numbers.
Fix by effectively rounding down the start time recorded by
linux_currticks() to the nearest whole second; this makes it unlikely
that consecutive runs of iPXE will use the exact same RNG sequence.
(Note that none of this affects the cryptographic RNG, which uses
/dev/random as a source of entropy.)

[tcp] Update window even if ACK does not acknowledge new data
iPXE currently ignores ACKs which do not acknowledge any new data.
(In particular, it does not stop the retransmission timer; this is
done to prevent an immediate retransmission if a duplicate ACK is
received while the transmit queue is non-empty.)
If a peer provides a window size of zero and later sends a duplicate
ACK to update the window size, this update will therefore be ignored
and iPXE will never be able to transmit data.
Fix by updating the window size even for ACKs which do not acknowledge
new data.

[netdevice] Mark devices as open before calling open() method
When opening a VLAN device, vlan_open() will call netdev_open() on the
trunk device. This will result in a call to netdev_notify(), which
will cause vlan_notify() to call vlan_sync() on the original VLAN
device, which will see that the trunk device is now open but the VLAN
device apparently isn't (since it has not yet been flagged as open by
netdev_open()). The upshot is a second attempt to open the VLAN
device, which will result in an erroneous second call to vlan_open().
This convoluted chain of events then terminates harmlessly since
vlan_open() calls netdev_open() on the trunk device, which just
returns immediately since the trunk device is by now flagged as being
already open.
Prevent this from happening by having netdev_open() flag the device as
open prior to calling the device's open() method, and reflagging it as
closed if the open() method fails.

[romprefix] Do not clobber stack segment when returning to BIOS
Commit c429bf0 ("[romprefix] Store boot bus:dev.fn address as autoboot
device location") introduced a regression by using register %cx to
temporarily hold the PCI bus:dev.fn address, despite the fact that %cx
was already being used to hold the stored BIOS stack segment.
Consequently, when returning to the BIOS after a failed or cancelled
boot attempt, iPXE would end up calling INT 18 with the stack segment
set equal to the PCI bus:dev.fn address. Writing to essentially
random areas of memory tends to upset even the more robust BIOSes.
Fix by using register %ax to temporarily hold the PCI bus:dev.fn
address.

[bzimage] Report exact initrd length via bzImage header
iPXE currently pads initrd images to a multiple of 4kB and inserts
zero padding between images, as required by some versions of the Linux
kernel. The overall length reported via the ramdisk_size field in the
bzImage header includes this zero padding.
This causes problems when using memdisk to load a gzip-compressed disk
image. memdisk treats the ramdisk_size field as containing the exact
length of the initrd image, and uses this length to locate the 8-byte
gzip footer. This will generally cause memdisk to fail to decompress
the disk image.
Fix by reporting the exact length of the initrd image set, including
any padding inserted between images but excluding any padding added at
the end of the final image.

iPXE currently advertises a fixed MSS of 1460, which is correct only
for IPv4 over Ethernet. For IPv6 over Ethernet, the value should be
1440 (allowing for the larger IPv6 header). For non-Ethernet link
layers, the value should reflect the MTU of the underlying network
device.
Use tcpip_mtu() to calculate the transport-layer MTU associated with
the peer address, and calculate the MSS to allow for an optionless TCP
header as per RFC 6691.
As a side benefit, we can now fail a connection immediately with a
meaningful error message if we have no route to the destination
address.

[prefix] Ignore PCI autoboot device location if set to 00:00.0
qemu can load an option ROM which is not associated with a particular
PCI device using the "-option-rom" syntax. Under these circumstances,
we should ignore the PCI bus:dev.fn address that we expect to find in
%ax on entry to the initialisation vector.
Fix by using the PCI bus:dev.fn address only if it is non-zero. Since
00:00.0 will always be the host bridge, it can never be the address of

[romprefix] Store boot bus:dev.fn address as autoboot device location
Per the BIOS Boot Specification, the initialization phase of the ROM
is called with the PFA (PCI Function Address) in the %ax register.
The intention is that the ROM code will store that device address
somewhere and use it for booting from that device when the Boot Entry
Vector (BEV) is called. iPXE does store the PFA, but doesn't use it
to select the boot network device. This renders BIOS IPL lists fairly
ineffective.

device location.

[romprefix] Allow ROM banner timeout to be configured independently
iPXE currently prints a "Press Ctrl-B" banner twice: once when the ROM
is first called for initialisation and again if we attempt to boot
from the ROM. This slows boot, especially when the NIC is not the
primary boot device. Tools such as libguestfs make use of QEMU VMs
for performing maintenance on disk images and may make use of NICs in
the VM for network support. If iPXE introduces a static init-time
delay, that directly translates to increased runtime for the tools.

Duplicate URIs by directly copying the relevant fields, rather than by
formatting and reparsing a URI string. This relaxes the requirements
on the URI formatting code and allows it to focus on generating
human-readable URIs (e.g. by not escaping ':' characters within

containing parameter lists (e.g. "../boot.php##params") to function
as expected.
Add validity check for FTP paths to ensure that only printable

[dns] Update end-of-name pointer after processing CNAME record
Commit d4c0226 ("[dns] Support DNS search lists") introduced a
regression when handling CNAME records resolving to names longer than
the original name. The "end of name" offset stored in dns->offset was
not updated to reflect the length of the new name, causing
dns_question() to append the (empty) search suffix at an incorrect
offset within the name buffer, resulting in a mangled DNS name.
In the case of a CNAME record resolving to a name shorter than or
equal in length to the original name, then the mangling would occur in
an unused portion of the name buffer. In the common case of a name
server returning the A (or AAAA) record along with the CNAME record,
this would cause name resolution to succeed despite the mangling. (If
the name server did not return the A or AAAA record along with the
CNAME record, then the mangling would be revealed by the subsequent
invalid query packet.)

[vesafb] Allow for an arbitrary margin around the text area
Allow for an arbitrary margin to be specified in the console
configuration. If the actual screen size does not match the requested
screen size, then update any margins specified so that they remain in
the same place relative to the requested screen size. If margins are
unspecified (i.e. zero), then leave them as zero.
The underlying assumption here is that any specified margins are
likely to describe an area within a background picture, and so should
remain in the same place relative to that background picture.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Centre the background picture on the console, to give a more
consistent result when the aspect ratio does not match the requested
width and height.
Once drawn for the first time, nothing should ever overwrite the
margins of the display. We can therefore eliminate the logic used to
redraw only the margin areas, and use much simpler code to draw the
complete initial background image.
Simplify the redrawing logic further by making the background picture
buffer equal in size to the frame buffer. In the common case of a
background picture which is designed to fill the screen, this wastes
no extra memory, and the combined code simplifications reduce the size
of fbcon.o by approximately 15%.
Redefine the concept of "margin" to match the intuitive definition
(i.e. the size of the gap, rather than the position of the boundary
line).
