[pxe] Provide PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only for ipxelinux.0 builds
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK is designed to allow ipxelinux.0 to unload both
the iPXE and pxelinux components without affecting the underlying PXE
stack. Unfortunately, it causes unexpected behaviour in other
situations, such as when loading a non-embedded pxelinux.0 via
undionly.kpxe. For example:
PXE ROM -> undionly.kpxe -> pxelinux.0 -> chain.c32 to boot hd0
would cause control to return to iPXE instead of booting from the hard
disk. In some cases, this would result in a harmless but confusing
"No more network devices" message; in other cases stranger things
would happen, such as being returned to the iPXE shell prompt.
The fundamental problem is that when pxelinux detects
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK, it may attempt to specify an exit hook and then
exit back to iPXE, assuming that iPXE will in turn exit cleanly via
the specified exit hook. This is not a valid assumption in the
general case, since the action of exiting back to iPXE does not
directly cause iPXE to exit itself. (In the specific case of
ipxelinux.0, this will work since the embedded script exits as soon as
pxelinux.0 exits.)
Fix the unexpected behaviour in the non-ipxelinux.0 cases by including
support for PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only when using a new .kkkpxe format.
The ipxelinux.0 build process should therefore now use undionly.kkkpxe
instead of undionly.kkpxe.

[pxe] Check for a valid PXE network device when applicable
Very nasty things can happen if a NULL network device is used. Check
that pxe_netdev is non-NULL at the applicable entry points, so that
this type of problem gets reported to the caller rather than being
allowed to crash the system.

[pxe] Avoid touching fields that may not exist in PXENV_UNDI_GET_NIC_TYPE
Earlier versions of the PXE specification do not have the SubVendor_ID

This is similar to the problem with the BufferLimit field in

[xfer] Generalise metadata "whence" field to "flags" field
iPXE has never supported SEEK_END; the usage of "whence" offers only
the options of SEEK_SET and SEEK_CUR and so is effectively a boolean
flag. Further flags will be required to support additional metadata
required by the Fibre Channel network model, so repurpose the "whence"
field as a generic "flags" field.
xfer_seek() has always been used with SEEK_SET, so remove the "whence"
field altogether from its argument list.

[interface] Convert all data-xfer interfaces to generic interfaces
Remove data-xfer as an interface type, and replace data-xfer
interfaces with generic interfaces supporting the data-xfer methods.
Filter interfaces (as used by the TLS layer) are handled using the
generic pass-through interface capability. A side-effect of this is
that deliver_raw() no longer exists as a data-xfer method. (In
practice this doesn't lose any efficiency, since there are no
instances within the current codebase where xfer_deliver_raw() is used
to pass data to an interface supporting the deliver_raw() method.)

Microsoft WDS can end up calling PXENV_RESTART_TFTP to execute a
second-stage NBP which then exits. Specifically, wdsnbp.com uses
PXENV_RESTART_TFTP to execute pxeboot.com, which will exit if the user
does not press F12. iPXE currently treats PXENV_RESTART_TFTP as a
normal PXE API call, and so attempts to return to wdsnbp.com, which
has just been vaporised by pxeboot.com.
Use rmsetjmp/rmlongjmp to preserve the stack state as of the initial
NBP execution, and to restore this state immediately prior to
executing the NBP loaded via PXENV_RESTART_TFTP. This matches the
behaviour in the PXE spec (which says that "if TFTP is restarted,
control is never returned to the caller"), and allows pxeboot.com to
exit relatively cleanly back to iPXE.
As with all usage of setjmp/longjmp, there may be subtle corner case
bugs due to not gracefully unwinding any state accumulated by the time
of the longjmp call, but this seems to be the only viable way to
provide the specified behaviour.

gPXE currently overwrites the filename stored in the cached DHCP
packets when a call to PXENV_TFTP_READ_FILE or PXENV_RESTART_TFTP is
made. This code has existed for many years as a workaround for RIS,
which seemed to require that this be done.
pxe_set_cached_filename() causes problems with the Bootix NBP, and a
recent test demonstrates that RIS will complete successfully even with
pxe_set_cached_filename() removed. There have been many changes to
the DHCP and PXE logic since this code was first added, and it is
quite plausible that it was masking a bug that no longer exists.

[pxe] Avoid potential interrupt storms when using shared interrupts
Current gPXE code always returns "OURS" in response to
PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START. This is harmless for non-shared interrupt
lines, and avoids the complexity of trying to determine whether or not
we really did cause the interrupt. (This is a non-trivial
determination; some drivers don't have interrupt support and hook the
system timer interrupt instead, for example.)
A problem occurs when we have a shared interrupt line, the other
device asserts an interrupt, and the controlling ISR does not chain to
the other device's ISR when we return "OURS". Under these
circumstances, the other device's ISR never executes, and so the
interrupt remains asserted, causing an interrupt storm.
Work around this by returning "OURS" if and only if our net device's
interrupt is currently recorded as being enabled. Since we always
disable interrupts as a result of a call to PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START, this
guarantees that we will eventually (on the second call) return "NOT
OURS", allowing the other ISR to be called. Under normal operation,
including a non-shared interrupt situation, this change will make no
difference since PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START would be called only when
interrupts were enabled anyway.

It might be the case that we wish to chain to an NBP without
being "in the way". We now implement a hook in our exit path
for gPXE *.*pxe build targets. The hook is a pointer to a
SEG16:OFF16 which we try to jump to during exit. By default,
this pointer results in the usual exit path.
We also implement the "pxenv_file_exit_hook" PXE API routine
to allow the user to specify an alternate SEG16:OFF16 to jump
to during exit.
Unfortunately, this additional PXE extension has a cost
in code size. Fortunately, a look at the size difference
for a gPXE .rom build target shows zero size difference
after compression.
The routine is documented in doc/pxe_extensions as follows:
FILE EXIT HOOK
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK (00e7h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK parameter
structure that has been initialized by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The Status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
Description:Modify the exit path to jump to the specified code.
Only valid for pxeprefix-based builds.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK {
PXENV_STATUS_t Status;
SEGOFF16_t Hook;
} t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK;
Set before calling API service:
Hook: The SEG16:OFF16 of the code to jump to.
Returned from API service:

[tftp] Make TFTP size requests abort transfer with an error
pxenv_tftp_get_fsize is an API call that PXE clients can call to
obtain the size of a remote file. It is implemented by starting a TFTP
transfer with pxe_tftp_open, waiting for the response and then
stopping the transfer with pxe_tftp_close(). This leaves the session
hanging on the TFTP server and it will try to resend the packet
repeatedly (verified with tftpd-hpa) until it times out.
This patch adds a method "tftpsize" that will abort the transfer after
the first packet is received from the server. This will terminate the
session on the server and is the same behaviour as Intel's PXE ROM
exhibits.
Together with a qemu patch to handle the ERROR packet (submitted to
qemu's mailing list), this resolves a specific issue where booting
pxegrub with qemu's TFTP server would be slow or hang.
I've tested this against qemu's tftp server and against my normal boot
infrastructure (tftpd-hpa). Booting pxegrub and loading extra files
now produces a trace similar to Intel's PXE client and there are no
spurious retransmits from tftpd any more.

[netdevice] Allow the hardware and link-layer addresses to differ in size
IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes
represent anything relating to a "hardware address".
The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same
size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address"
field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
[netdevice] Separate out the concept of hardware and link-layer addresses
The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
[netdevice] Make ll_broadcast per-netdevice rather than per-ll_protocol
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
[pxe] Make pxe_init_structures() an initialisation function
pxe_init_structures() fills in the fields of the !PXE and PXENV+
structures that aren't known until gPXE starts up. Once gPXE is
started, these values will never change.
Make pxe_init_structures() an initialisation function so that PXE
users don't have to worry about calling it.
[pxe] Update UNDI transmit count before transmitting packet
It is possible that the UNDI ISR may be triggered before netdev_tx()
returns control to pxenv_undi_transmit(). This means that
pxenv_undi_isr() may see a zero undi_tx_count, and so not check for TX
completions. This is not a significant problem, since it will check
for TX completions on the next call to pxenv_undi_isr() anyway; it
just means that the NBP will see a spurious IRQ that was apparently
caused by nothing.
Fix by updating the undi_tx_count before calling netdev_tx(), so that
pxenv_undi_isr() can decrement it and report the TX completion.
Symantec Ghost requires working multicast support. gPXE configures
all (sufficiently supported) network adapters into "receive all
multicasts" mode, which means that PXENV_UNDI_SET_MCAST_ADDRESS is
actually a no-op, but the current implementation returns
PXENV_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED instead.
Fix by making PXENV_UNDI_SET_MCAST_ADDRESS return success. For good
measure, also implement PXENV_UNDI_GET_MCAST_ADDRESS, since the
relevant functionality is now exposed by the net device core.
Note that this will silently fail if the gPXE driver for the NIC being
used fails to configure the NIC in "receive all multicasts" mode.
The PXE debugging messages have remained pretty much unaltered since
Etherboot 5.4, and are now difficult to read in comparison to most of
the rest of gPXE.
Bring the pxe_undi debug messages up to normal gPXE standards.
[pxe] Fix interoperability with the Symantec (undipd) DOS UNDI driver
The Symantec UNDI DOS driver fails when run on top of gPXE because we
return our interface type as "gPXE" rather than one of the predefined
NDIS interface type strings.
Fix by returning the standard "DIX+802.3" string; this isn't
necessarily always accurate, but it's highly unlikely that anything
trying to use the UNDI API would understand our IPoIB link-layer
pseudo-header anyway.
[pxe] Fix interoperability with the Intel DOS UNDI driver
The Intel DOS UNDI driver fails when run on top of gPXE because we do
not fill in the ServiceFlags field in PXENV_UNDI_GET_IFACE_INFO.
Fix by filling in the ServiceFlags field with reasonable values
indicating our approximate feature capabilities.
[pxe] Fix interoperability with the 3Com DOS UNDI driver
The 3Com DOS UNDI driver fails when run on top of gPXE for two
reasons: firstly because PXENV_UNDI_SET_PACKET_FILTER is unsupported,
and secondly because gPXE enters the NBP without enabling interrupts
on the NIC, and the 3Com driver never calls PXENV_UNDI_OPEN.
Fix by always returning success from PXENV_UNDI_SET_PACKET_FILTER
(which is no worse than the current situation, since we already ignore
the receive packet filter in PXENV_UNDI_OPEN), and by forcibly
enabling interrupts on the NIC within PXENV_UNDI_TRANSMIT. The latter
is something of a hack, but avoids the need to implement a complete
base-code ISR that we would otherwise need if we were to enter the NBP
with interrupts enabled.
[netdevice] Add netdev argument to link-layer push and pull handlers
In order to construct outgoing link-layer frames or parse incoming
ones properly, some protocols (such as 802.11) need more state than is
available in the existing variables passed to the link-layer protocol
handlers. To remedy this, add struct net_device *netdev as the first
argument to each of these functions, so that more information can be
fetched from the link layer-private part of the network device.
Updated all three call sites (netdevice.c, efi_snp.c, pxe_undi.c) and
both implementations (ethernet.c, ipoib.c) of ll_protocol to use the
new argument.

The PXE 1.x spec specifies that on NBP entry or on return from INT

that EDX is clobbered. Given the principle "be conservative in what

The DHCP client code now implements only the mechanism of the DHCP and

class is "PXEClient" and the PXE boot menu option exists.
