[pxe] Add a dummy PXENV+ entry point at UNDI_CS:0000
Wyse Streaming Manager server (WLDRM13.BIN) assumes that the PXENV+
entry point is at UNDI_CS:0000; apparently, somebody at Wyse has
difficulty distinguishing between the words "may" and "must"...
Add a dummy entry point at UNDI_CS:0000, which just jumps to the
correct entry point.
IBM's iSCSI Firmware Initiator checks the UNDIROMID pointer in the
!PXE structure that gets created by the UNDI loader. We didn't
previously fill this value in.
[int13] Pairwise swap drive numbers, instead of shifting all drive numbers
Shifting all INT13 drive numbers causes problems on systems that use a
sparse drive number space (e.g. qemu BIOS, which uses 0xe0 for the CD-ROM
drive).
The strategy now is:
Each drive is assigned a "natural" drive number, being the next
available drive number in the system (based on the BIOS drive count).
Each drive is accessed using its specified drive number. If the
specified drive number is -1, the natural drive number will be used.
Accesses to the specified drive number will be delivered to the
emulated drive, masking out any preexisting drive using this number.
Accesses to the natural drive number, if different, will be remapped to
the masked-out drive.
The overall upshot is that, for examples:
System has no drives. Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x80
and specified number 0x80. Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
drive, and there is no remapping.
System has one drive. Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x81
and specified number 0x80. Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
drive. Accesses to drive 0x81 get remapped to the original drive 0x80.
[i386] Change semantics of __from_data16 and __from_text16
__from_data16 and __from_text16 now take a pointer to a
.data16/.text16 variable, and return the real-mode offset within the
appropriate segment. This matches the use case for every occurrence
of these macros, and prevents potential future bugs such as that fixed
in commit d51d80f. (The bug arose essentially because "&pointer" is
still syntactically valid.)
[PXEXT] Add PXENV_FILE_EXEC call to PXE extensions API.
This allows pxelinux to execute arbitrary gPXE commands. This is
remarkably unsafe (not least because some of the commands will assume
full ownership of memory and do nasty things like edit the e820 map
underneath the calling pxelinux), but it does allow access to the
"sanboot" command.
We don't actually have a stdio.h header file. Our printf() functions are
defined in vsprintf.h. (This may change, since vsprintf.h is a
non-standard name, but for now it's the one to use.)
There should be no need to include vsprintf.h just for DBG() statements,
since include/compiler.h forces it in for a debug build anyway.
Updated PXE UDP implementation to use the new Etherboot UDP API.
Updated PXE API dispatcher to use copy_{to,from}_user, and moved to
arch/i386 since the implementation is quite architecture-dependent.
(The individual PXE API calls can be largely
architecture-independent.)
Allow our functions to return a non-zero, non-error status (since the
INT 13 Extensions Check has to return the API version in the register
that is otherwise always used for the error code).
Report a non-zero API version from the INT 13 Extensions Check; GRUB
now uses extended reads.
Refactored to reduce code size; now down from 1304 to 1105 bytes.
Tidied up debug messages; the log now contains one line per INT 13
operation, looking like
INT 13,08 (80): Get drive parameters
INT 13,02 (80): Read: C/H/S 0/47/14 = LBA 0xb9e <-> 1084:0000 (count 106)
Add the concept of a "user pointer" (similar to the void __user * in
the kernel), which encapsulates the information needed to refer to an
external buffer. Under normal operation, this can just be a void *
equivalent, but under -DKEEP_IT_REAL it would be a segoff_t equivalent.
Use this concept to avoid the need for bounce buffers in int13.c,
which reduces memory usage and opens up the possibility of using
multi-sector reads.
Extend the block-device API and the SCSI block device implementation
to support multi-sector reads.
Update iscsi.c to use user buffers.
Move the obsolete portions of realmode.h to old_realmode.h.
MS-DOS now boots an order of magnitude faster over iSCSI (~10 seconds
from power-up to C:> prompt in bochs).
