The Intel 40 Gigabit Ethernet virtual functions support only MSI-X
interrupts, and will write back completed interrupt descriptors only
when the device attempts to raise an interrupt (or when a complete
cacheline of receive descriptors has been completed).
We cannot actually use MSI-X interrupts within iPXE, since we never
have ownership of the APIC. However, an MSI-X interrupt is
fundamentally just a DMA write of a single dword to an arbitrary
address. We can therefore configure the device to "raise" an
interrupt by writing a meaningless value to an otherwise unused memory
location: this is sufficient to trigger the receive descriptor
writeback logic.

On a Dell OptiPlex 7010, calling DisconnectController() on the LOM
device handle will lock up the system. Debugging shows that execution
is trapped in an infinite loop that is somehow trying to reconnect
drivers (without going via ConnectController()).
The problem can be reproduced in the UEFI shell with no iPXE code
present, by using the "disconnect" command. Experimentation shows
that the only fix is to unload (rather than just disconnect) the
"Ip4ConfigDxe" driver.
Add the concept of a blacklist of UEFI drivers that will be
automatically unloaded when iPXE runs as an application, and add the
Dell Ip4ConfigDxe driver to this blacklist.

Allow values to be read from ACPI tables using the syntax
${acpi/<signature>.<index>.0.<offset>.<length>}
where <signature> is the ACPI table signature as a 32-bit hexadecimal
number (e.g. 0x41504093 for the 'APIC' signature on the MADT), <index>
is the index into the array of tables matching this signature,
<offset> is the byte offset within the table, and <length> is the
field length in bytes.
Numeric values are returned in reverse byte order, since ACPI numeric
values are usually little-endian.
For example:
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0.0} - entire MADT table in raw hex
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x0a.6:string} - MADT table OEM ID
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x24.4:uint32} - local APIC address

[efi] Provide access to files stored on EFI filesystems
Provide access to local files via the "file://" URI scheme. There are
three syntaxes:
- An opaque URI with a relative path (e.g. "file:script.ipxe").
This will be interpreted as a path relative to the iPXE binary.
- A hierarchical URI with a non-network absolute path
(e.g. "file:/boot/script.ipxe"). This will be interpreted as a
path relative to the root of the filesystem from which the iPXE
binary was loaded.
- A hierarchical URI with a network path in which the authority is a
volume label (e.g. "file://bootdisk/script.ipxe"). This will be
interpreted as a path relative to the root of the filesystem with
the specified volume label.
Note that the potentially desirable shell mappings (e.g. "fs0:" and
"blk0:") are concepts internal to the UEFI shell binary, and do not
seem to be exposed in any way to external executables. The old
EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL (which did provide access to these mappings) is no
longer installed by current versions of the UEFI shell.

EoIB is a fairly simple protocol in which raw Ethernet frames
(excluding the CRC) are encapsulated within Infiniband Unreliable
Datagrams, with a four-byte fixed EoIB header (which conveys no actual
information). The Ethernet broadcast domain is provided by a
multicast group, similar to the IPoIB IPv4 multicast group.
The mapping from Ethernet MAC addresses to Infiniband address vectors
is achieved by snooping incoming traffic and building a peer cache
which can then be used to map a MAC address into a port GID. The
address vector is completed using a path record lookup, as for IPoIB.
Note that this requires every packet to include a GRH.
Add basic support for EoIB devices. This driver is substantially
derived from the IPoIB driver. There is currently no mechanism for
automatically creating EoIB devices.

[smsc95xx] Add driver for SMSC/Microchip LAN95xx USB Ethernet NICs
Tested using QEMU and usbredir to expose the LAN9512 chip present on a
Raspberry Pi.
There is a known issue with the LAN9512: an extra two bytes are
appended to every transmitted packet. These two bytes comprise:
{ 0x00, 0x08 } if packet length == 0 (mod 8)
{ CRC[0], 0x00 } if packet length == 7 (mod 8)
{ CRC[0], CRC[1] } otherwise
The extra bytes are appended whether the Ethernet CRC is generated
manually or added automatically by the hardware. The issue occurs
with the Linux kernel driver as well as the iPXE driver. It appears
to be an undocumented hardware errata.
TCP/IP traffic is not affected, since the IP header length field
causes the extraneous bytes to be discarded by the receiver. However,
protocols that rely on the length of the Ethernet frame (such as FCoE
or iPXE's "lotest" protocol) will be unusable on this hardware.

[efi] Add a USB host controller driver based on EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL
Allow iPXE to coexist with other USB device drivers, by attaching to
the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instances provided by the UEFI platform
firmware.
The EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL is an unsurprisingly badly designed
abstraction of a USB device. The poor design choices intrinsic in the
UEFI specification prevent efficient operation as a network device,
with the result that devices operated using the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL
operate approximately two orders of magnitude slower than devices
operated using our native EHCI or xHCI host controller drivers.
Since the performance is so abysmally slow, and since the underlying
problems are due to fundamental architectural mistakes in the UEFI
specification, support for the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL host controller
driver is left as disabled by default. Users are advised to use the
native iPXE host controller drivers instead.

Many UEFI NBPs expect to find an EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL installed
in addition to the EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL. Most NBPs use the
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the cached DHCP packets.
This implementation has been tested with grub.efi, shim.efi,
syslinux.efi, and wdsmgfw.efi. Some methods (such as Discover() and
Arp()) are not used by any known NBP and so have not (yet) been
implemented.
Usage notes for the tested bootstraps are:
- grub.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet, and uses no other methods.
- shim.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the cached
DHCP packet and to retrieve the next NBP via the Mtftp() method.
If shim.efi was downloaded via HTTP (or other non-TFTP protocol)
then shim.efi will blindly call Mtftp() with an HTTP URI as the
filename: this allows the next NBP (e.g. grubx64.efi) to also be
transparently retrieved by HTTP.
shim.efi can also use the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL to
retrieve files previously loaded by "imgfetch" or similar commands
in iPXE. The current implementation of shim.efi will use the
EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL only if it does not find an
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL; this patch therefore prevents this
usage of our EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. This logic could be
trivially reversed in shim.efi if needed.
- syslinux.efi uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL only to retrieve the
cached DHCP packet. Versions 6.03 and earlier have a bug which
may cause syslinux.efi to attach to the wrong NIC if there are
multiple NICs in the system (or if the UEFI firmware supports
IPv6).
- wdsmgfw.efi (ab)uses EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL to retrieve the
cached DHCP packets, and to send and retrieve UDP packets via the
UdpWrite() and UdpRead() methods. (This was presumably done in
order to minimise the amount of benefit obtainable by switching to
UEFI, by replicating all of the design mistakes present in the
original PXE specification.)
The EFI_DOWNGRADE_UX configuration option remains available for now,
until this implementation has received more widespread testing.

[http] Rewrite HTTP core to support content encodings
Rewrite the HTTP core to allow for the addition of arbitrary content
encoding mechanisms, such as PeerDist and gzip.
The core now exposes http_open() which can be used to create requests
with an explicitly selected HTTP method, an optional requested content
range, and an optional request body. A simple wrapper provides the
preexisting behaviour of creating either a GET request or an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request (if the URI includes
parameters).
The HTTP SAN interface is now implemented using the generic block
device translator. Individual blocks are requested using http_open()
to create a range request.
Server connections are now managed via a connection pool; this allows
for multiple requests to the same server (e.g. for SAN blocks) to be
completely unaware of each other. Repeated HTTPS connections to the
same server can reuse a pooled connection, avoiding the per-connection
overhead of establishing a TLS session (which can take several seconds
if using a client certificate).
Support for HTTP SAN booting and for the Basic and Digest
authentication schemes is now optional and can be controlled via the
SANBOOT_PROTO_HTTP, HTTP_AUTH_BASIC, and HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST build
configuration options in config/general.h.

UEFI platforms may provide a watchdog timer, which will reboot the
machine if an operating system takes more than five minutes to load.
This can cause long-lived iPXE downloads (or interactive shell

main processing loop continues to run.

[stp] Add support for detecting Spanning Tree Protocol non-forwarding ports
A fairly common end-user problem is that the default configuration of
a switch may leave the port in a non-forwarding state for a
substantial length of time (tens of seconds) after link up. This can
cause iPXE to time out and give up attempting to boot.
We cannot force the switch to start forwarding packets sooner, since
any attempt to send a Spanning Tree Protocol bridge PDU may cause the
switch to disable our port (if the switch happens to have the Bridge
PDU Guard feature enabled for the port).
For non-ancient versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, we can detect
whether or not the port is currently forwarding and use this to inform
the network device core that the link is currently blocked.
